Hindemith:
Violin Sonata in G minor, Op. 11 No. 6

Knorr:
Partita for Violin Solo

Prokofiev:
Sonata in D major for solo violin, Op. 115

Zeegant:
Sonata l'Astre Bleu

The classical spirit hovers over the compositions for solo violin presented by the internationally sought-after violinist Marketa Janouskova on her new GENUIN CD. These are works spanning a century and whose common feature is a neoclassical return to ancient forms, expressed in their creators' very distinctive tonal languages. Paul Hindemith and Sergei Prokofiev combine past and present in their solo sonatas, as does Ernst-Lothar von Knorr, whose works are rarely performed, and the Belgian composer Jacques-Alphonse de Zeegant. The latter wrote his poetic 'Sonata l'Astre Bleu' for Marketa Janouskova, presented in a world premiere recording.
