Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver are approaching the culmination of a complete Beethoven Violin Sonata cycle where each concert is both broadcast live by the BBC on Radio 3, and recorded by Andrew Keener and Phil Rowlands for Rubicon. Beethoven’s ten violin sonatas represent the supreme challenge for a violin and piano duo, and the drama, visceral excitement and many intimate moments of these masterpieces is superbly captured in these live performances.
Chloë and Danny’s traversal of the ten sonatas concludes on 17 October, with Nos 9 ‘Kreutzer’ and 10, and both the BBC and Rubicon will be there to capture the moment. The Rubicon series will comprise three volumes to be released over the next year.

Performance *** Recording ****
“…Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver make an exceptionally good duo. The sense of intimate responsiveness to each other runs through all four sonatas…Everything sounds as though it’s minutely calculated in response to, and anticipation of, what the other player is doing…All I miss is the sense of fire in the blood, that the playfulness and wit have a dangerous edge”
Stephen Johnson – BBC Music magazine – March 2018
