JOHANN WENZEL KALLIWODA (1801-1866): 6 Nocturnes, Op. 186, FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797-1828): Arpeggione Sonata in A Minor, D 821, Schwanengesang (5 songs arr. Pillai), D 957.

Description: Lasting a total of around 25 minutes, Kalliwoda's Nocturnes live in the narrow tempo range from Allegretto to Poco adagio and combine a certain salon-like melodiousness in the viola with a sometimes very much more active piano role. Ashan Pillai (viola), Michael Endres (piano).
