Beethoven: Violin Sonatas was Kavakos's debut recording on Decca Classics and was released in January 2013. "The unrivaled elegance and beauty of Leonidas Kavakos's sound would be reason enough to embark with him on a traversal of the complete Beethoven sonatas for violin and piano, but it's the probing musicianship he and the excellent pianist Enrico Pace bring to it that make the ride so thrilling. The conversations, arguments and flirtations between violin and piano that Beethoven writes into these sonatas are all rendered with spirit and impeccable taste." (The New York Times) The Strad described the album as "a masterly set that combines Beethovenian ferocity and gentleness..." Sony is proud to once again present this monumental release to the public.
