《BEETHOVEN:VLN CTO.VLN SONA》Launching himself as a Deutsche Grammophon soloist with Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, Vadim Repin is also notching up a personal “first”: In spite of the fact that he has loved this work since he was very young, he had not previously recorded it. “I have been reserving it for a special time,” he says. “If I had recorded it earlier in my career, I would now need to do it again. A recording is a document that stays with you, but it only represents your view on that day–it’s only true to that moment.” For Beethoven’s famous Violin Concerto, he is joined by the Vienna Philharmonic under conductor Riccardo Muti. Also included on this two-disc set is Beethoven’s Violin Sonata Op. 47 “Kreutzer,” where Repin is joined by pianist Martha Argerich. An all-star cast worthy of a DG debut!
