Miklós Rózsa Sonata for 2 violins: Noah Bendix-Balgley and Yao Shanshan

On the 115th birthday of Miklós Rózsa, here’s the 2nd and 3rd movement of his beautiful Sonata for 2 violins Op. 15, performed by yours truly and my wife Yao Shanshan in March 2021 at the stunning Palais Lichtenau in Potsdam, Germany.
Rózsa was an underrated composer who wrote many classical works and film scores including a violin concerto written for Jascha Heifetz (!), championed in his wonderful recording with the Dallas Symphony and Walter Hendl.

Incidentally, this is the piece where Rozsa and Schoenberg were seated together in the audience, and the former was said to wince with displeasure at every tonal cadence!

I had forgotten how lovely this second movement is. The astringent first movement gives the piece a somewhat forbidding air
