CHARLES-AUGUST DE BÉRIOT (1802-1870): Solo Violin Music, Vol. 1 - 12 Scènes ou Caprices, Op. 109, 9 Studies, Prélude ou Improvisation, Op. posth.

Description: The Scènes are more Romantic character pieces than out-and-out études although they are not without their technical demands; the Studies have more of the latter but still don't stint on lyricism while the Prélude's nine minutes are perhaps the most virtuosic of the entire program. Bella Hristova (violin).
