Viktoria Mullova

Viktoria Mullova’s first album of Beethoven Violin Sonatas, Nos 3 & 9 ’Kreutzer’ with Kristian Bezuidenhout, was reviewed enthusiastically by Gramophone magazine. ‘The sound, in these familiar pieces has a startling clarity’; it went on to say that the period instruments ‘relocate these two works in a darkly Romantic sound world’.

For the next volume in a complete cycle, Viktoria is partnered by Alasdair Beatson in the strange and gnomic 4th sonata, the popular 5th ‘Spring’ sonata and the dramatic 7th – Beethoven in C Minor mood – always exciting and turbulent!

Viktoria Mullova and son, the bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado in music they love – a very personal and affectionate collection of music ranging from traditional Brazilian folk songs to JS Bach, via Antonio Carlos Jobim and Schumann.

Much of the music on this album has been played by mother and son together for many years – classical and contemporary jazz, folk songs from family music making has now made it to their concert programmes.
