200000 Alena Baeva and Vadym Kholodenko are beginning to record Beethoven's complete sonatas for violin and piano. Alena is recognized as a versatile violinist with magnetic charisma and now performs with the greatest orchestras and conductors, while Vadym is one of the most impressive pianists of his generation since winning the gold medal at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2013. They have formed a close and highly sought-after duo for more than ten years (both on and off the stage). The three sonatas on this recording (Op. 12 no. 3, Op. 24 "Spring" and Op. 47 "Kreutzer") were written between 1797 and 1803, a time when Beethoven received both his first recognition on the European stage and experienced the first signs of his deafness. Baeva and Kholodenko used the Bärenreiter edition from 2020 and conducted in-depth research into their interpretative choices: phrasing, embellishments and tempi are the result of this research and sources from that period.
