Violinsonaten Nr.1 & 2

Leo Weiner's legacy as a pedagogue influenced generations of Hungarian musicians over half a century. His early works as a composer were internationally praised for their novel, rousing sound, which emerged from a unique synthesis of German and French Romanticism combined with a Hungarian musical language. These chamber music works with piano rank among the finest of his early operas, from the "classical nobility and deep poetic substance" of the Ballade to the dramatic and breathtakingly beautiful Violin Sonata No. 2 - two pieces that were popular and frequently performed in their time.
