HEINRICH VON HERZOGENBERG (1843-1900): Complete Violin Sonatas - No. 1 in A, Op. 32, No. 2 in E Flat, Op. 54, No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 78, Phantasie, Op. 15, Legenden for Viola and Piano, Op. 62.

Description: The eleventh cpo disc devoted to Herzogenberg and the seventh of his chamber music brings works almost entirely from his post-1875 assumption of Brahmsian style. Only the op. 15 Phantasie predates this dividing line, a dashing and passionate two-movement work of 19 minutes which owes much to the youthful Schumann and was among the last two or three pieces which marked the end of Herzogenberg's Schumann-Liszt-Wagner path. 2 CDs. Christian Altenburger (violin, viola), Oliver Triendl (piano).
