Maria Duenas : Beethoven And Beyond

At the heart of Spanish violinist Mara Dueas’s DG debut album, ‘Beethoven and Beyond’, is an intriguingly individual interpretation of the Beethoven ‘Violin Concerto’. The work was recorded live at Vienna’s Musikverein with the Wiener Symphoniker and Manfred Honeck, and features Dueas’s own newly written cadenzas for each movement. The album also includes a series of showpieces for violin and orchestra by Kreisler, Saint-Sans, Spohr, Wieniawski and Ysae. To complement these works and the concerto, Dueas has recorded a companion disc of cadenzas written for the first movement of the Beethoven by those same five composers.
