GÜNTER RAPHAEL (1903-1960): Violin Sonata No. 3 in C, Op. 43, Sonatina in B Minor, Op. 52, Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 46/1-2, Duo in G Minor for 2 Violins, Op. 47/1.

Description: Everything here but Op. 47/2 was on the cpo box-set we offered last September in archival recordings by the composer's daughter. If you're interested in a less expensive, single-disc sampling of Raphael's music (everything here is attractive and tonal, based on melody with Hindemith and Bach distant influences), this issue of first digital recordings may fill the bill. Pauline Reguig (violin), Darius Kaunas (second violin), Emilio Peroni (piano).
