Description: This budget-priced release brings a full hour of world premiere recordings on its second disc: Kirchner's Schumannian character pieces from 1890 and his shorter, very melodious and soothing Romance and Lullaby from 1884, and the emotionally rather hotter 28-minute sonata by Reinecke from 1872 where both instruments get plenty of meaty, attractive material. 2 CDs for the price of 1. Gudrun Schaumann (violin), Wolfgang Brunner (1836 and 1870 Streicher and 1872 Rönisch pianos).
