Szymanowski is the man! (I wonder how many times that’s ever been said.) His Sonata for Violin & Piano, Op. 9 is a thing of beauty – absurdly romantic. I recommend Chee-Yun’s performance. Great blog Craig – I’m following.

Truer words have never been spoken. I will certainly check out the sonata, he wrote a couple of them I think? Thanks for nice words about the blog. Stay tuned for my San Gennaro Festival post to come shortly — it’s one from the heart.
