Joseph Joachim Raff: Complete Violin Sonatas: Sonatas Nos. 1 and 2 - Volume 1

Though he was known primarily as a symphonist, and despite his large portfolio of piano works, Raff's first love was the violin and his pieces for the instrument were promoted by no less a virtuoso than Sarasate. The 'Violin Sonata No. 1' is a powerful work teeming with expressive intensity and lyrical beauty - it remained the most performed of his violin sonatas during his lifetime. The large-scale 'Violin Sonata No. 2' offers his characteristic lyric impulse and virtuoso fireworks.
