"Vincent P. Skowronski can be heard to good advantage and effect on this highly impressive CD, SKOWRONSKI PLAYS! ALONE Of particular interest and note are the Ysaye Sonatas, done with dash and panache by this Laureate of the Fourth International Tchaikovsky Competition held in Moscow, 1970."
"With a disc for Works for Unaccompanied Violin, SKOWRONSKI PLAYS! ALONE, this highly gifted artist, Vincent P. Skowronski, presents us with the music of J.S Bach along with the music of Ysaye and Hindemith, two important figures of 20th century music." "Skowronski's BACH, especially the delightful and effortless Giga, is certainly noteworthy. However, on this CD, it is the works of the 20th century where the virtuoso violinist excels. The HINDEMITH Sonata No. 2 is mostly forgettable yet Skowronski plays the music extremely well. But, it is in the YSAYE Sonatas that the remarkable talent of Skowronski is most evident." |
SKOWRONSKI PLAYS! ALONE Works for Unaccompanied Violin (S:CR-01) Vincent P. Skowronski, solo violin
J.S. Bach: Partita No. 2
in D Minor
Eugene Ysaye: Sonata No. 2, Opus 27
Paul Hindemith: Sonata No. 2, Opus 31
Eugene Ysaye: Sonata No. 5, Opus 27
"Skowronski's wonderful interpretation of the Danse Rustique at the end of the piece is simply gorgeous with a dream-like middle section and a parody of the opening as conclusion."
"SKOWRONSKI PLAYS! ALONE, is a remarkable disc. The solo violin is a difficult instrument to record effectively, but Skowronski, totally in charge of the artistic and technical production of this CD, has succeeded spectacularly in every facet of these recorded performances."
"To me, the high point of this well-chosen program is the Sonata No.2 by Eugene Ysaye. SKOWRONSKI PLAYS! ALONE is a winner! You'll play it again and again." |
