Dans cet enregistrement des sonates pour violon et piano N° 6 à 8, opus 30, Beethoven affirme un langage plus libre et audacieux, où les deux instruments dialoguent d’égal à égal. Entre élégance classique (N° 6), tension dramatique (N° 7) et éclat virtuose (N° 8), ces œuvres marquent une étape clé dans son évolution.

Le duo formé par Gidon Kremer et Martha Argerich en offre une lecture d’une rare intensité, un jeu incisif, des contrastes puissants et une complicité musicale qui donne à l’ensemble une énergie presque improvisée.

Une interprétation de référence, à la fois fougueuse, profonde et captivante.

"Beethoven's op.30 violin and piano sonatas are three irresistibly lively and individual spirits in the hands and imaginations of Martha Argerich and Gidon Kremer. The first, in A major, has that particular quality of blithe and elusive joy reminiscent of the Spring Sonata, and created here by the lightest and truest touch on string and key, fused with bright rhythmic clarity. The slow movement is a tremulous song of long-forgotten, far-off things, in which violin and piano find an intimate balance of tone. The G major Sonata's centrepiece is its Minuet and Trio, which Argerich and Kremer cunningly tease and charm into revealing its archaic qualities: a dance glimpsed through a lace veil. It is framed by two fast movements that would identify their performers anywhere, with their high-voltage velocity and wittily imaginative anticipation of each other's every move". - Gramophone
