About

Anton Rubinstein (1829-1894) and Alexander Winkler (1865-1935) represent two generations of Russian Romanticism, offering contrasting yet complementary styles in their viola sonatas. Rubinstein's sonata is expansive and dramatic with rich harmonies, while Winkler's is more introspective, emphasising clarity, counterpoint, and intimate dialogue. Both works highlight the viola as an expressive, equal partner to the piano, exploring its tonal depth and lyrical potential. Performed by violist Luca Sanzò and pianist Maurizio Paciariello, both distinguished musicians with major concert and recording careers.
