Our Take

OSOSTOWICZ / TONG's latest album, Beethoven Plus Volume II, is a delightful and adventurous journey through Beethoven's violin sonatas. The duo, comprised of violinist Krysia Osostowicz and pianist Daniel Tong, navigate through Beethoven's intricate compositions with skill and finesse, bringing a fresh perspective to these timeless classics.

But the real magic of this album lies in the "companion pieces" by contemporary composers K. Schwertsik, M. Taylor, P. Ashworth, and D. Matthews. These pieces serve as a fascinating contrast to Beethoven's work, offering a modern twist on the traditional sonata format.

Schwertsik's piece is a whimsical and unpredictable delight, showcasing his mastery of both melody and rhythm. Taylor's composition is haunting and atmospheric, transporting the listener to a different realm entirely. Ashworth's piece is a playful romp through different musical styles, keeping the listener on their toes. And Matthews' work is a powerful and emotional journey, showcasing his deep understanding of the human experience.

Overall, Beethoven Plus Volume II is a captivating and thought-provoking listen, blending the old with the new in a seamless and compelling way. OSOSTOWICZ / TONG have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, delivering an album that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. Be sure to give this one a spin – you won't be disappointed.
