Lutoslawski : Complete Music for Violin and Piano, Szymanowski : Myths, Janáček : Violin sonata

The lives of the three Eastern European composers on this disc spanned almost 150 years (1854 1994), a period of dramatic historical change, political turmoil and radical developments in Western music.

Janácek, Lutoslawski and Szymanowski each left significant and very personal musical legacies, rich with inspiring melodies, harmonies and rhythms. 

Praised by The Strad for the 'striking athleticism, musical insight, expressive embellishment and elegiac lyricism' of her playing, Boston-born violinist Ariadne Daskalakis is sensitively accompanied by the equally renowned Russian-born Israeli pianist Miri Yampolsky, her frequent recital partner.
