Catalogue Number: 02K051

Label: Challenge Classics

Reference: CC72196

Format: CD

Price: $15.98

Description: This trio of sonatas was written in 1819, still under the influences of Beethoven and Haydn but with Onslow now showing his personal gifts of lyricism, drama, abrupt contrasts (all very much to the fore in the big 33-minute minor-key second sonata) and the ability to interweave these with sometimes simple melodic lines while using subtle chromaticisms for color. What makes Onslow rather unique is maddeningly elusive to put into words but, then, that's why one must hear and listen! Ilia Korol (violin), Norbert Zeilberger (fortepiano).
