John Alden Carpenter - Violin Sonata (1912)

[@ericdevaughn5941]

A beautiful piece of music and fine performance. Impressionist style. He's so underated that not even on most people's radar. I've been listening to Classical music for 50 years and although i had heard of J.A. Carpenter i only now have listened to his music with delight and appreciation. Too bad he didnt write more. So well balanced between violin and piano. Both a strong piece with delicacy. I enjoy his sense of harmony. Thanks !

Majestic piece. Even rhetoric or better to say, oratoric. Because Carpenter here speaks in grave sentences. The dictions of the two instruments are evenly solemn, although the Violin part is more loquacious, the Piano part is more moderate but also matterful. This is a beautiful but heavy piece, even the Presto giocoso sounds somehow ponderous. So personal and emotional. I like it thoroughly. Thanks a lot for the upload!

Thank you for this wonderful late romantic violin sonata. Again a very fine discovery : the composer and the composition.

Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und fein komponierten Sonate im gut betrachteten Tempo mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der genialen Violine und klarem Klang des ebenso genialen Klaviers. Der dritte Satz klingt echt schön und auch mysteriös. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist echt ergreifend. Einfach wundervoll!
