Usha Kapoor, violin | Edward Leung, piano

in her debut album, violinist Usha Kapoor explores worlds of contrast and coexistence through the rich violin repertoire of american composers Amy Beach and John Corigliano. featured on this album are two rarely recorded, monumental works: Amy Beach’s impassioned Sonata for Violin and Piano in A minor and John Corigliano’s dazzling Sonata for Violin and Piano. Completing the program is Amy Beach’s lyrical Romance for Violin and Piano.

“The young US violinist Usha Kapoor…brings the two composers together on her debut album and creates exciting contrasts. Together with pianist Edward Leung, she passionately masters the technical challenges of Corigliano and demonstrates a fine feeling for the lyrical passages in Amy Beach's violin sonata.”
