The exceptional violinist Judith Ingolfsson has brought genuine rarities to the market with her new GENUIN CD. Only a handful of violinists around the world perform the highly demanding sonatas for solo violin by Artur Schnabel and Eduard Erdmann, and there is currently no commercial recording of Erdmann's work at all! The sonatas of these two great pianists and composers represent autonomous musical universes that are peppered with technical difficulties and are full of depth and character. A musical message in a bottle from a forgotten time that is absolutely worth recovering!
