Georg Kulenkampff, Georg Solti - Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms: Violin Sonatas (2013)

‘This recording reveals what a magnificent technique [Solti] possessed … his playing is pretty good, and often remarkable for his very sparing use of the pedal … [Kulenkampff’s playing] of the slow movement is exquisitely expressive.’ (Beethoven) Gramophone, February 1964

‘The great virtues of Kulenkampff were his sweet lyrical tone and his exquisite phrasing … this is glorious playing [of the Brahms Op. 78] by both artists. The last page of the slow movement is really tremendous, and touched with inspiration’ (Brahms) Gramophone, May 1965
