About

Stravinsky and Ravel are two twentieth century composers whose work is often complex while remaining accessible. In the idiom of piano and violin, they may be found to be at their best. Included here are the Duo Concertante and Divertimento for Violin and Piano of Stravinsky, and by Ravel the Sonata for Violin and Piano, and "Tzigane" (Rapsodie de Concert for Violin and Piano). Stravinsky, with his rhythmic power and chromatics, shines in these smaller, powerful pieces for the two instruments. The works clearly belong in the twentieth century, yet engage the listener with lyricism and force.
Ravel, as well, in his furious lines and Debussy-like impressionism finds a perfect pairing in these two instruments. The "Blues" movement of his Sonata allows the two instruments to go their idiomatic ways while retaining a lazy structure, later exploding into vintage Ravel.
The performance of these pieces by violinist Jennifer Frautschi and pianist Marta Aznavoorian find virtuosity and musicality serving one another. Both are consummate young players; they bring verve and fresh intelligence to these pieces, possessing an obvious rapport with each other and the music itself. An excellent disc.
