Beethoven: Violin Sonatas 3 ? review

Alina Ibragimova (violin), C�dric Tiberghien (piano)
(Wigmore Hall Live)

As anyone who heard their recitals at Wigmore Hall will know, this young partnership mesmerises and captivates, achieving rare freshness and vitality in the most familiar repertoire. This is the last CD in their complete Beethoven violin sonata series, containing the A major, Op 30 No 1, the E flat major Op 12 No 3 and the A major "Kreutzer" Op 47. The Russian-born Ibragimova (b 1985) has no musical inhibitions, and brings period and contemporary performance knowledge to her nimble, lucid playing. Tiberghien is a fiery, daredevil but musically supportive pianist. They sprint through the first movement presto of the "Kreutzer", especially, with self-evident joy.
