    James Ehnes presents his third disc of chamber works by Bartók. The previous volumes have, along with his outstanding concerto disc, established his formidable reputation as a Bartók interpreter. Here Ehnes is joined by the pianist Andrew Armstrong, violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti, and Michael Collins, one of the world's leading clarinettists.

    The Sonatina, originally composed in 1915 for piano, was based on melodies which Bartók had collected during expeditions in Transylvania. The transcription for violin and piano heard here was produced ten years later by a young student of Bartók's, Endre Gertler. Bartók composed Contrasts in 1938 for the jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti, who originally had requested a work in two movements, each with a cadenza for one of the featured instruments. Fulfilling this request, Bartók added a central slow movement, entitled 'Pihen' (Relaxation). The opening movement, 'Verbunkos', alludes to a march-like Hungarian military recruiting dance. The finale, entitled 'Sebes' (Quick), is a lively romp at the heart of which lies an unexpected episode of haunting calmness.

    Besides writing for such outstanding musicians as Szigeti and Goodman, Bartók composed a lot of music for students, including the Forty-four Duos for two violins recorded here. These short pieces take material from a remarkably wide array of folk traditions and interlink the styles and culture of diverse peoples.

    The unusually large tally of 51 tracks on this disc is explained by the fact that 44 of them are devoted to the violin duos that Bartók composed in 1931, attracted by the chance to write music that might give young violinists something both instructive and nourishing to play. Professionals, too, relish the opportunities for character and tonal colouring that these miniatures offer, as is fully evident here in the partnership of James Ehnes and Amy Schwartz Moretti. While Bartók harnessed and, in some cases, imitated folk music in these pieces, there is a creative sophistication to them that needs to be recognised by players and conveyed in performance over and above the fundamental folk intonations and inflections. Ehnes and Moretti possess precisely the degree of finesse required to bring both piquancy and a sense of stylish panache to the music here. Their 44 duos are presented on this release along with a performance of the succinct Sonatina and also the dazzling Contrasts that Bartók wrote for Benny Goodman and Joseph Szigeti, pungently played by Ehnes, Michael Collins and Andrew Armstrong. **** –Telegraph, 19/6/14

    James Ehnes rounds off his survey of Bartok's chamber works for violin with a disc that reinforces the composer's versitality over a range of genres.An exemplary account of a major work for its medium. It is warmly recommended for insights into a composer whose stature increases over time. –IRR, July / Aug'14

    Such is the brilliance and sensitivity of the playing that I hope these performers can be coaxed back into the studio to record other 20th century works for this particular instrumental combination. ***** –BBC Music magazine, Aug'14

    James Ehnes and Amy Schwartz Moretti are fully the equal of even their most illustrious rivals, their playing varied and characterful enough to make listening to any of the four books of Duos at a single sitting a real pleasure. A lovely programme. –Gramophone, Aug'14

    Such is the brilliance and sensitivity of the playing that I hope these performers can be coaxed back into the studio to record other 20th century works for this combination, such as Berg's Adagio or Khachaturian's Trio. Performance ***** Recording ***** –BBC Music Magazine, Sept'14
