Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien complete their multi-season survey of Beethoven’s violin sonatas with three contrasting works. They set the high spirits of Op. 30 No. 3 ahead of the composer’s last essay in the genre. ‘Interpreters must be able to dream, to enthuse,’ noted the great violinist Carl Flesch about Beethoven’s Op. 96. ‘The flower must blossom in their souls.’ The same could be said for the ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata, with its heroic writing for both instruments.
