Beethoven: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1, 5 & 8

Gramophone Editor's Choice / BBC Music Magazine Choice. British performers Tamsin Waley-Cohen and Huw Watkins perform three of Beethoven’s twelve violin sonatas: No. 1 in D major, No. 5 in F major “Spring”, and No. 8 in G major. Written within around five years between 1798 and 1803, the works demonstrate Beethoven’s constant innovation in writing for these two instruments, both of which he played himself.
