Teiko Maehashi - Brahms: Complete Violin Sonatas (2026) Hi-Res

The scent of romance--Veteran violinist Teiko Maebashi will enchant you with the depths of Brahms! In February 2025, this rare violinist, who will celebrate her 60th anniversary as a performer in 2022 and her 80th birthday in 2023, released Beethoven's 10 complete violin sonatas, which made a big splash, and now, surprisingly, only a year later, she will release three violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms, the composer of the "German Three B's" following Beethoven. Surprisingly, only a year after the release of Beethoven's 10 complete violin sonatas, Maebashi has now released the complete works of three violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms, one of the "Three Great German B" composers, following Beethoven. Maebashi had recorded only "No. 3" in the past, but this is his first recording of No. 1, subtitled "Song of Rain," and No. 2, romantic and lovely in its brightness. The re-recording of the melancholy and intense No. 3 is even more melancholy and intense. This time, the orchestra is once again partnered by Vahan Mardirossian, a native of Armenia, with whom the two musicians have worked together in the complete Beethoven sonata cycle. The two musicians, who have trusted each other's artistry through repeated performances and recordings, spent ample time together to make a session recording in the summer of 2025, which will be released as a SACD hybrid disc set.
