In this CD, recorded by two outstanding Mexican musicians, Shari Mason (violin) and Manuel Gonzalez (piano), both composers, Brahms and Szymanowski, appear in their roles as guardians of the musical traditions that sustain and nurture their art.

Each one revives tradition in a personal way within their cultural context. Brahms’ Sonata op. 100, woven of elegant counterpoint, intertwines an equal and melodious dialogue between violin and piano, resuscitating the charm and harmony of Viennese music. Szymanowski’s Sonata op. 9, intense and contrasting, shows the dramas and conflicts of the end of the "old days" and the beginning of the modern era.
