Beethoven Sonatas

Viktoria Mullova, Alasdair Beatson

Format: Digital

On their third duo album on Signum Classics, Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson play Beethoven's Sonatas 2 and 10. Unique to the sonata in A major, opus 12 no. 2, they use a copy of a Walter from 1805 (a Viennese fortepiano), and for sonata no. 10 opus 96 a copy of a Graf from 1819, both by Paul McNulty. Together with a violin with gut strings, these instruments are precisely what Beethoven's music needs: they provide rich texture and clear colors between the registers.
