Description
Yuri Bashmet’s name is well known to any music aficionado. A viola player, conductor, teacher and tireless public figure, he has been an active performer for almost forty years, a performer of the entire viola repertoire of academic music and an initiator of numerous works by contemporary composers. His concert performances and recordings with pianist and ensemble partner Mikhail Muntian are notable for their absolute integrity of performing ideas and in-depth comprehension of a musical text. These recordings of Brahms’ two late sonatas for viola and piano were realized in 1984.
