The classical spirit hovers over the compositions for solo violin presented by the internationally sought-after violinist Markéta Janoušková on her new GENUIN CD. These are works spanning a century and whose common feature is a neoclassical return to ancient forms, expressed in their creators' very distinctive tonal languages. Paul Hindemith and Sergei Prokofiev combine past and present in their solo sonatas, as does Ernst-Lothar von Knorr, whose works are rarely performed, and the Belgian composer Jacques-Alphonse de Zeegant. The latter wrote his poetic Sonata l'Astre Bleu for Markéta Janoušková, presented in a world premiere recording.

"The stylistically diverse programme is held together by the combination of seriousness and charm that characterises Janoušková's playing. [...] With an equally natural narrative tone and intense warmth, the violinist enlivens every movement." Review by Friedrich Sprondel, October 29, 2023
