About

Bringing together Brahms’ three Sonatas for violin and piano is both an obvious choice and a challenge. Obvious because, as all three come from the composer’s mature works, they share a similarity of inspiration - nature, the voice - and aesthetics; a challenge because each, however, has its own character and expression, the first melancholy, the last dramatic and the second lyrical and exalted. By placing them side by side, Sergey Ostrovsky and Natalia Morozova dive into Brahmsian interiority, all the facets of which the musicians capture with infinite delicacy.

Awards and reviews

Awards Issue 2024

Ostrovsky and Morozova are a thoughtful duo who like to take their time. Their reading of Op 78 is affectionate and overwhelmingly lyrical, so much so that the contrasts written into the opening movement are relatively muted...Their performance of Op 100 is also leisurely but more attentive to detail overall, particularly when it comes to characterisation.
