New violin melodies of rich Romantic feeling—the enchanting world of composer Rheinberger. Born in Liechtenstein and trained in Munich, Rheinberger was a late-Romantic composer and organist who left many organ, choral and sacred works. His music is passionate and richly Romantic yet touched with a baroque atmosphere; his violin sonatas, with beautiful melody and harmony, deserve wider currency as violin repertoire. Mariko Aikawa's refined, flowing tone and Takaya Sano's outstanding pianism convey Rheinberger's charm in full.
