About

The adventure began in 2012, when Gilles Ledure, director of Flagey (Brussels), suggested to Lorenzo Gatto and Julien Libeer they should perform the complete Beethoven violin sonatas there.

Haunted by these monuments of architecture and expression, they decided to embark on a recording. Here are three sonatas recorded in the legendary Salle de Musique of La Chaux-de-Fonds, including the famous ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata.

Since his version of the Beethoven Violin Concerto (ZZT 354), Lorenzo Gatto has taken his place among the violinists who matter on the international scene..

Diapason d’or de L’Année 2016

Technique: 5/5

Jean-Michel Molkhou - 10 Years of Diapason D’or (France) – December 2017

"... He [Libeer] and Lorenzo Gatto cover the ground like thoroughbreds, with exemplary virtuosity... This is an intelligent selection and ordering... an alert and personable recital which I enjoyed a lot. The recorded balance is exactly right for duo sonatas..."

Stephen Plaistow - Gramophone magazine - September 2016
