The chamber music partnership of Midori and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, both veteran players, is relatively young, but with this cycle of Beethoven's violin sonatas (the phrase "sonatas for piano and violin" is properly used, as it was in Beethoven's time), they begin to seem like a highly significant pairing. The set stands up well against other recent cycles that strain to find elements of middle-period sonatas in these works, most of which are from the early part of the composer's career. Midori -- with her trademark calm perfection -- and Thibaudet are more placid. In the first sonatas of the group, they are little more than correct, but the set steadily gathers momentum as it proceeds. The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Op. 24, is warm and flexible, with a memorable final movement launched by Midori's taking just a little bit of extra time in the opening turn. The coordination of the two players in the Violin Sonata No. 9 in A minor, Op. 47 ("Kreutzer"), is impressive in the most virtuosic of the sonatas. Best of all is the Violin Sonata No. 10 in G major, Op. 96; composed in 1812, this is often classified as a late middle-period work, but in the hands of Midori and Thibaudet, the role played by its feathery ornaments creates an ecstasy more akin to the composer's late style. It is a wonderful performance, ably captured by Warner Classics engineers at the Colburn School in Los Angeles.
