JULIUS ROENTGEN (1855-1932): Violin Sonata No. 2 in F Sharp Minor, Op. 20, KAROL LIPINSKI (1790-1861): Caprice, Op. 29/3, ROBERT SCHUMANN (1810-1856): Violin Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 121, GIUSEPPE TARTINI (1692-1770): Sonata in G Minor "Il trillo del Diavolo".

Description: This recital's theme is the 1715 "Lipinski" Stradivarius it's performed on (and everyone here but Schumann also owned the violin at one time) but we offer it for those of you who may not have the 2000 NM Classics disc with Roentgen's early (1879) sonata, a work full of youthful vigor and Romantic dash. Frank Almond (violin), William Wolfram (piano).
