The album focuses on the works of Johannes Brahms, highlighting his three violin sonatas. These pieces showcase Brahms' deep collaboration with the renowned violinist Joseph Joachim, who was instrumental in bringing these compositions to life. The first sonata, often called the "Rain Sonata," draws thematic inspiration from Brahms' own song "Regenlied." The second and third sonatas continue to reflect Brahms' mastery in blending violin and piano, treating both instruments as equal partners in the musical conversation. These sonatas are celebrated for their emotional depth, structural complexity, and lyrical beauty.
