Search - Tanja Becker-Bender, Markus Becker, Ervín Schulhoff :: Schuloff: Violin Sonatas

The German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender burst onto the recording scene with a dazzling set of Paganini s Caprices that thrilled the critics. She appears here in her second disc for Hyperion accompanied by her compatriot, Markus Becker. Erwin Schulhoff was a jazz enthusiast, sometime Dadaist, surrealist and committed communist. However, Schulhoff was a more complex and wide-ranging musician than any neat tags suggest. His music for violin is often outrageously virtuosic and never less than fascinating.
