from Szymanowski: Complete music for violin & piano (CDA67703) 1 Allegro moderato: Patetico [8'19] 19 minutes 3 seconds 3 tracks2 Andantino tranquillo e dolce [6'01] 3 Finale: Allegro molto, quasi presto [4'43] ‘Ibragimova and Tiberghien make a winning combination, both in the sweltering sensuality of the central works and in the more conventional late-Romantic effulgence of the warm-hearted Sonata of 1909 ... ‘[I would] recommend Alina Ibragimova with pianist Cédric Tiberghien as prime representatives of the numinous in Szymanowski's violin chamber repertoire’ (Gramophone) ‘This is a performance that shows Ibragimova's art at her remarkable best; at one moment poised, the next playing with abandon, she is one of the most expressive violinists around’ (BBC Music Magazine) |
