Griegmedtner3Rd Sonatas

This fascinating recording brings two contrasting composers together, linked by their 3rd violin and piano sonatas. Grieg's third and final violin sonata was finished in January 1887, dedicated to the German painter Franz Lenbach. Medtner's 3rd sonata was also his last one and this was dedicated to his brother Emil, completed in 1938 and premiered the following year at the Aeolian Hall, London by the violinist Arthur Catterall and Medtner himself at the piano.
