Description
This Boundary-Challenging new recording of Beethoven’s complete Sonatas for Piano and Violin features the acclaimed duo: violinist Shunske Sato and pianist Shuann Chai.
How far can you push Beethoven’s music? What’s the breaking point? Is there one? Shuann Chai (fortepiano) and Shunske Sato (violin) delve into this wonderful world of emotionality and arresting drama, inspired by the wealth of writings by and about Beethoven. Embracing historical sources and performance practices, they seek to inhabit and unleash the magic and message that these sonatas, even after two centuries, can move us with.
The motivation to make this recording arose when Shunske Sato and Shuann Chai played all Sonatas as a mini-marathon. It turned out to be a worthy endeavor: they got tremendously positive feedback. This recording allows them to share ‘their’ Beethoven with even more people.

Press reviews
Pizzicato, November 2024
Their interpretations are not only historically informed. They also sparkle with small, unusual unevenness, often refreshingly spontaneous, sometimes even a little mannered…Overall outweighs by far the positive impression of committed and lively interpretations that make the works sound freshly told. This may come close to the improvisatory side of Beethoven’s own playing, which Czerny attributed to his teacher…In this way, they clearly demonstrate that the works offer great expressive power without overstretching the creative arc…Their playing remains exciting throughout…The well-balanced, slightly dry sound rounds off this collection perfectly.
Ihre Interpretationen sind nicht nur historisch informiert angelegt. Sondern sie sprühen auch von kleinen ungewöhnlichen Unebenheiten, die oft erfrischend spontan, manchmal auch ein wenig manieriert wirken…Insgesamt überwiegt jedoch bei Weitem der positive Eindruck von engagiert lebendigen Interpretationen, die die Werke wie frisch erzählt klingen lassen. Damit mögen sie der improvisatorisch anmutenden Seite von Beethovens eigenem Spiel nahekommen, die Czerny seinem Lehrer nachgesagte…Damit zeigen sie deutlich, dass die Werke eine große Ausdruckskraft bieten, ohne den gestalterischen Bogen zu überspannen…Ihr Spiel bleibt durchgehend spannend…Das gut austarierte leicht trockene Klangbild rundet dieses Konvolut bestens ab.
