Overview
This exquisite recording from the Hungaroton Classic label presents two major works for violin duo by the legendary German composer, conductor, and violinist Louis Spohr (1784–1859). Spohr was a towering figure of the Romantic era, known for bridging the gap between Classicism and the more emotive styles of the 19th century.
Featured here are the Duet in F major, Op. 148 "Grand Duo" and the Duet in D major, Op. 150, both composed in 1856. These pieces represent the pinnacle of Spohr's chamber music output for the violin, requiring extraordinary technical precision and a deep sense of musical partnership between the two performers. Performed by two of Hungary's most celebrated violinists, Péter Csaba and Vilmos Szabadi, this album is an essential addition to any classical music collection.
