Sonata 121 on CD

"Why don't you do something for violin and piano?" Despite all the years lying in between, one can sense the sonata for violin and piano op. 121 by Robert Schumann and the sonata for viola and piano op. 120-1 by Johannes Brahms as an intimate exchange between their composers: a dialogue of two partners as equals. In the present recording, Burkhard Maiss and Ji-Yeoun You have made this musically comprehensible. The Duo MAISS YOU was founded by Burkhard Maiss and Ji-Yeoun You. The duo formation is dedicated to the music for violin and piano and - to the same degree - to the sister genre for viola and piano. In order to explore exciting combinations of compositions even within a single program, the duo utilizes both the violin and the viola in their concerts - a practice only rarely present in nowaday's concert life.
