Description:

A new recording alongside a major work by Masanori Tonomura, a great master of the viola world recognized by Riccardo Muti. The collection of masterpieces by Brahms, whose works are elegant and emotionally rich, Schumann, whose sweet melodies are impressive, and Shostakovich, whose characteristic rhythms and melodies are woven together, are of endless interest for the variety of expressions and techniques of the viola. The virtuoso instrument Gagliano (1723) plays a lustrous alto sound that neither the violin nor the cello can match, and the viola is a masterpiece.
