Decent Schumann

11/13/1998

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I can second everything that the Gramophone reviewer says. Zukerman and Neikrug have more success with the first sonata than the second. Brahms spent a lot of time helping the Schumanns during Robert's last years, and became immersed in their music. You can hear echoes of the first movement of the second sonata in the finale of Brahms Fourth symphony. And just as a Brahms symphony can be played lean and driving, versus solid and majestic, so can the first movement of Schumann's Second Violin Sonata. Zukerman and Neikrug opt for the more ponderous interpretation, diverging from Kremer/Argerich (DG) and Kaler/Slutsky (Naxos) whom I heartily recommend. The shorter pieces for violin and for viola are beautifully done, and it was good of RCA to provide an extra disc for them. The recorded sound is excellent."
