CD838: Finale: Sonatas for Viola. Paul Cortese, Viola. With Juan Carlos Garvayo,
Piano. Dmitri Shostakovich: Sonata for Viola and Piano, op. 147; Grazyna Bacewicz: Sonata for Viola Solo; Aram Khachaturian: Sonata
for Viola Solo; Bohuslav Martinu:
Sonata for Viola and Piano.
Shostakovitch’s Viola Sonata was written just before
his death, inspiring Khachaturian to write his Solo Sonata just months later. Bacewicz’ last published work was a viola concerto, and Martinu returned to the viola near the end of his life. The
music on this CD are profound works, possibly among the most moving pieces ever
written by these composers.
This is Cortese’s
third CD on Crystal Records. The American Record Guide said “his performances
are elegant. The technique of Cortese is superb.” UPC 009414783820 BUY NOW
