Digital Booklet

"... (Jeremy Menuhin is) unfailingly lyrical, exemplary, exquisitely polished, yet directly expressive ..."
- The New York Times
"... warmly recorded ... Rozhdestvensky and Menuhin are alive to the elusive principal characters of (the 1968 Sonata's) three movements ... distinguished and moving ... should be of outstanding interest to Shostakovich lovers."
- Gramophone
Violinist Sasha Rozhdestvensky and pianist Jeremy Menuhin come together on this fascinating Shostakovich recording, featuring the composer's Unfinished Sonata for Violin and Piano from 1945 and his 1968 Violin Sonata, Op. 134. With the exception of the finished sonata, the entire album contains world premieres, notably the Unfinished Sonata which includes an extra 28 bars of a development section found in Shostakovich’s original manuscript, which doesn’t appear in the published score. The work is completed by an 11 bar coda written by the violinist's father, conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
