Well deserving of the 2008 MIDEM Classical Award

"This is a fabulous collaboration by Cerovsek and Jumppanen. They explore with great musicality the full range of emotions and all the wonderous nuances of Beethoven's masterful sonatas. All those I have given this CD set to keep it permanently in their CD changer. This is a set you simply MUST own.
P.S. For Americans not familiar with the MIDEM award, it is the European equivalent of a grammy. Other winners in 2008 included Daniel Barenboim and David Zinman."
The best violin playing you will ever hear

"This is stunning. Period. I'm amazed that you have to search 4 pages of Beethoven Violin Sonatas on Amazon before this listing appears.
The young man is an incredible human being and (take it from a former fiddler), he is a GREAT violinist.
The performances are true to the composer, incredibly played with integrity. The sonics are marvelous and up-close. The violin itself, a great Strad, stands out.
In my opinion, a once-in-a-lifetime piece of work."
