They are what we regard as "the" genuine romantic viola sonata reflecting the late Brahms' substantial and richly emotional musical world. The Two Songs with viola and piano pay tribute to the friendship between the composer and the celebrated violinist, Joseph Joachim. Besides viola player Péter Bársony this recording features the fabulous pianist Péter Frankl and the opera-singer, popular with the audiences of the most reputed concert halls, Ildikó Komlósi.
