Info for Schubert: Music for Violin, Vol. 2

Violin music isn't what one normally associates with Franz Schubert, but he did in fact receive his first violin lessons as a young boy from his father. The young Schubert penned his Rondo, Konzertstück and G minor Sonata in 1816 while the Polonaise is from the following year. These early, unpretentious violin compositions were probably intended for Schuberts older brother Ferdinand, who led the family string quartet in which Franz played the viola. Composed in 1827, when Schubert had already written his symphonies, string quartets, piano sonatas and hundreds of songs, the closing Fantasy in C major is another matter. A substantial piece in four sections, it contains challenging writing for both instruments, demonstrating what a master Schubert himself was on both. On this and its soon-to-be-released companion disc, Ariadne Daskalakis has gathered all of Schuberts works for violin. Equally at home on baroque and modern instruments, she has chosen to perform them in a historical context, joined by Paolo Giacometti on a fortepiano by Salvatore Lagrassa from c.1815 and the period band Die Kölner Akademie conducted by Michael Alexander Willens.
