Premiere


Dive into the richness and intensity of Johannes Brahms’ works for violin and piano, performed by two internationally renowned virtuosos: Andrew Wan, violinist with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and Charles Richard-Hamelin, pianist and laureate of the prestigious Chopin Competition.


Having previously explored and recorded the complete sonatas of Beethoven and Schumann (OPUS and JUNO Awards), these artists now delve into three of Brahms’ major works, musically situated between classicism and romanticism. This music masterfully combines lyrical softness with dramatic energy!
