Following the release of the Piano Trios, CPO are releasing Kahn’s works for violin and piano. While he was always inspired by Brahms, Kahn was a highly imaginative melodist – his three great violin sonatas hold surprises with their individual and rhythmic energy, and the piano sometimes transcends its accompanying role to become the virtuoso part.
