Description:

Midori Goto completes a compilation recording of her masterpieces on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of her debut! Midori Goto, who continues to be active internationally based in the U.S., has released her latest work "Beethoven: Sonatas for Piano and Violin (10 pieces)", a compilation of all 10 sonatas by Beethoven, a masterpiece that is positioned at the top of violin music, following the release of "Beethoven: Violin Concerto, Romance (2 pieces)" (WPCS-13834) in 2020. The Beethoven Sonatas for Piano and Violin (10 Sonatas) was previously released on November 9 in SACD hybrid format in Japan only, but the import version (standard CD format) will also be released in a hurry to coincide with his scheduled tour of Japan in November. Beethoven's ten works composed in his early and middle periods have the significance of tracing the transition in music history of the positioning and balance of the expressive power of the violin and piano, and for that reason the combination of the violinist and partner pianist is considered important. In this recording, the violinist and pianist have been able to work with Thibaudet, with whom they have had many opportunities to collaborate, to create a compilation recording with a truly complete ensemble. *Disc 3 may not play on all models due to the long recording time.Please understand in advance.
