These three works bear witness to the changes that took place at the beginning of musical modernism. The reassessment and reinterpretation of traditional musical genres and innovations led to new ways of organizing and addressing the harmonic, melodic, tonal and rhythmic elements of music. The Polish composer Karol Szymanowski developed a very personal musical language that places a high value on timbre - an approach that fits perfectly with the myth triptych inspired by legends from ancient Greece. Here he developed a new form of expression, a fusion of violin and piano into a single entity using extended violin techniques. The Hungarian Bela Bartok took up Szymanowski's contribution and composed his two violin sonatas in quick succession at the beginning of the 1920s. These two works, as daring as they are demanding, skillfully combine the influence of contemporary composers such as Claude Debussy and Arnold Schoenberg with elements of Central European folklore. Frank Peter Zimmermann, whose most recent recording of Bartók's Two Rhapsodies and Stravinsky's Violin Concerto was internationally acclaimed by critics, plays these milestones in music history together with pianist Dmytro Choni, his permanent partner since 2023.
