This unique album of chamber music by Patrick Stoyanovich features performances by the composer's daughter, the violinist, Sophia Stoyanovich. Ms. Stoyanovich's intense connection with her father's music can be gleaned by a brief sample of her liner notes: "In the fall of 2019, on a visit to Paris, my father walked down the Rue de Paradis. A year later, while working on his second Sonata for violin and piano, the memory of that street inspired the closing theme of its final movement. This theme seems to reach out its hand, consoling the listener after a monumental journey. I find wisdom in my father’s music in a moment like this, in which an intimate honesty of sentiment answers music of struggle, addressing our emotional need as listeners." Ms. Stoyanovich is partnered by pianist Derek Wang and cellist Aaron Wolff in these deeply felt recordings.
