The ten sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) for piano and violin span the fifteen-year period from 1797 to 1812, opus numbers 12 to 96. Found in these wonderful pieces is a world of musical colors and moods and abundant contrast of intensity—light and dark, simplicity and complexity of melodic and harmonic language—all within the beautifully constructed musical framework that is so characteristic of Beethoven’s work.

The last ten years of Mozart’s life, spent in Vienna, coincided with the growing development and popularity of the clarinet. In particular, Mozart found inspiration in the playing of the Stadler brothers, resulting in his Clarinet Concerto and Clarinet Quintet for Anton Stadler.

They were originally designed for the related instrument, the basset-horn, but first published posthumously as a complete set in the present scoring for two clarinets and bassoon.

On FANTASY FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO, composer Benjamin Shorstein examines the age-old rules and conventions of musical form and structure and transforms them into inspirational foundations on which to build narratives. The improvisational Fantasy for Violin and Piano begins Shorstein’s story with an exploration of emotion and character, as each instrument formlessly weaves and wanders between themes—a sentiment that continues with Sonata for Piano, which extends the album’s musical worldbuilding, expanding upon an original theme that remains warm and sensitive as it gains intensity.

On KASSANDRA, composer Anthony Brandt and librettist Neena Beber explore two leading issues of our times — climate change and sexual harassment. Based on the Greek myth of Apollo trying to seduce Trojan princess Cassandra, Brandt and Beber tell the tragic yet familiar story of Kassandra, a scientist whose forecasts of climate change are discredited as a result of rejecting sexual advances from a venture capitalist. In the ancient myth, Apollo places a curse on Cassandra: she will see the future but no one will believe her.
