Their second duo album on Signum Classics, Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair

Beatson perform Beethoven’s Sonatas 6, 1 and 8. Just as in previous record- ings, they use a copy of an 1805 Walter (a Viennese fortepiano) by Paul Mc- Nulty; together with violin strung with gut, these instruments are what Bee- thoven’s music craves, giving a rich texture and distinct colours between the

registers. “[The sonatas] A set that is “optimistic, ebullient and inexhaustibly inventive” – Alasdair Beatson
