After pianist Fazil Say's Naxos debut in 2020, featuring his own complete works for violin with violinist Friedemann Eichhorn and conductor Christoph Eschenbach, Say and Eichhorn continue their fruitful collaboration here with somewhat lesser-known music for this combination from major names of the Romantic era. There are a few reasons listeners will be drawn to this release, and chief among them may be the popularity of Say himself. Beyond that is the performing relationship between Eichhorn and Say. They have a solid, supportive approach that suits the drama of this music well, and their symbiosis will be evident to listeners; this is clearly heard in the Violin Sonata No. 1 in A minor, Op. 105, of Robert Schumann that opens the program. The complete, collaborative "F-A-E Sonata," with movements by Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and Albert Dietrich, is a draw here as well. While the movements by Schumann and Brahms have seen plenty of light individually, the opening movement by Dietrich is less common, as are performances of the whole Sonata. Finally, inspired by his own performances of Liszt's treatment of Wagner's "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde, Say offers arrangements for violin and piano of that opera's Prelude and "Liebestod." It is no easy task to take these lush, dramatic works and distill them into this intimate pairing, and Say does an admirable job. Time will tell whether it enters the greater repertoire, but it is certainly worth hearing and considering.
