About

The three violin sonatas by Bortkiewicz, Kosenko and Skoryk featured on this album transcend the cultural upheavals from which these three Ukrainian composers emerged. Performed by Ukrainian violinist Solomiya Ivakhiv and the American pianist Steven Beck. Kosenko’s Violin Sonata in A minor is a world premiere recording.

Reviews

“… These are committed performances of some interesting music … I’m glad that I was able to hear them and hope that Ivakhiv has luck presenting more works of this quality.”

Joseph Magil – American Record Guide – July/August 2024

“… The world-premiere recording of the1927 Violin Sonata in A Minor, Op.18 by Viktor Kosenko (1896-1938) is quite lovely, a lush, immediately accessible work beautifully played. The 1991 Violin Sonata No.2 by Myroslav Skoryk (1938-2020) with its “pointed allusions to Beethoven, Prokofiev and Gershwin” is another winner, with more fine playing…”

Terry Robins – the wholenote.com – 13 June 2024

“… Viktor Kosenko’s Sonata of 1927 immediately commands attention for its simmering, Slavic-Brahms melodic flavour and innovative approach to form... Ivakhiv makes light work of the angular, neo-Prokofiev violin-writing in Myroslav Skoryk’s Second Sonata of 1991…”

Peter Quantrill – Gramophone magazine – June 2024
