Gil Shaham, Gerhard Oppitz

Almost a century separates Brahms’ lyrical and generous Violin Sonata n°1 in G major (1879) from the irony and sublime seriousness of Shostakovich’s Violin Sonata (1968), written by the Russian composer while under the yoke of Soviet tyranny. Violinist Gil Shaham’s “elegant, profound and subtle style” (France Musique) matches perfectly with German piano titan Gerhard Oppitz’s light hands and utter precision. A remarkable journey through time awaits all fans of chamber music!
