Ives: Sonatas for Violin and Piano

In announcing his enduring passion, Swiss violin virtuoso Hansheinz Schneeberger, famous for the world premiere of Bartók's First Violin Concerto, reveals another passion. Together with his Canadian colleague Daniel Cholette, he has been interpreting the violin sonatas of Ives for more than two decades. Both artists explore every nuance of these remarkable compositions, which were considered "unplayable" by soloists during Ives's lifetime. The duo's performances are regarded as groundbreaking.
