Alfred Schnittke: Complete Works for Violin and Piano

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Russian composer Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) is noted above all for his hallmark "polystylistic" idiom, demonstrated not only in numerous symphonic and chamber works, but also in more than 60 film scores. He is considered to be one of the most successful of all modern composers with the public.

In the 60s, Schnittke's work showed careful absorption of the new forms of music which were managing to get through the Iron Curtain, and his first two violin sonatas are representative of his investigations at this time. The Third Sonata, written in 1994, reverts to a traditional form. The other works include many borrowings from his own film scores, which he always intended to be eventual sources for concert work.
