Linda Guo & Yuhao Guo - Strauss, Schumann & Szymanowski: Mythen (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

This CD brings together works by three outstanding composers from the 19th and 20th centuries, each of whom interprets the connection between violin and piano in a unique compositional way.

The Violin Sonata Op. 18 by Richard Strauss takes you into a world of melodic beauty and the harmonious unity between both instruments. Strauss, known for his symphonic poems and operas, shows here his masterful ability to combine the virtuosity of the violin with pianistic brilliance.

Clara Schumann's Three Romances for Violin and Piano Op. 22 reveal a tender and expressive connection between the instruments. A remarkable 19th-century pianist and composer, Clara Schumann demonstrates here her masterful ability to bring the violin and piano together in an intimate unity.

The Myths Op. 30 by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski unfold as fascinating musical tales from Greek mythology. Here the violin becomes the storyteller, while the piano sensitively accompanies the dramatic and expressive aspects of the myths. The two instruments merge to create a mysterious and colorful overall sound.

In each of these compositions it becomes clear how both instruments develop extraordinary expressive power together. Whether it's melodic beauty, delicate expressions or dramatic narratives - these works show the timeless fascination and the unique connection between violin and piano.
