Russian violinist Dmitry Smirnov's dbut recording on FHR features works by master baroque composer J. S. Bach, a leading figure of 20th century music Bla Bartk and a wonderful newly discovered work by influencial mid-twentieth Swiss violinist Hansheinz Schneeberger who died in 2019. The Schneeberger 'Sonata', written two years before Bartok's 'Sonata', is a violin show piece, displaying much imagination in its idiomatic and virtoustic violin writing this is the first recording of the work. There are many connections that link these three works together the Bartok and Schneeberger sonatas show influences of Bach. Also, Bartok's 'First Violin Concerto' was premired by Schneeberger. On this album Smirnov plays both a modern and baroque violin.
