Spohr: Duos Für Zwei Violinen Vol.2 Ursula Schoch & Tjeerd Top

Violin duets generally have the reputation of being grateful playing literature for teachers and gifted students, but of giving the listener only limited pleasure. With the violin duets Opp. 39 and 67, however, Louis Spohr (1784-1859) presented several works that require two virtuoso players due to their high demands on playing and compositional technique. Ursula Schoch and Tjeerd Toch are both members of the famous Concertgebouw Orchestra and let us get our money's worth in the second installment of their complete recording of the two collections.
