Description: Beethoven wrote three sonatas for violin and piano in the key of A major, and Midori and pianist Ozgur Aydin perform them all on this recital. Of the most famous, the spirited "Kreutzer" Sonata, Midori says, "I am always struck by the sheer energy and control necessary for the bursts of emotional intensity." It's a program custom-made for Beethoven lovers that also includes works by Webern and Kurtag.
