For the most part, the chamber music of Alfred Schnittke, due to its small scale, cannot reflect the polystylism for which he is famous. However, this program by violinist Daniel Hope gives the listener a taste of this trait at the large scale, as it were. The pieces reflect various styles in Schnittke's arsenal. The Violin Sonata No. 1 from early in his career is serial in its construction, suggesting what might have happened if Shostakovich had plunged wholeheartedly into the serialism with which he flirted during the later part of his career. The Suite in the Old Style that opens the program is pure neo-Baroque and Neoclassical Schnittke, variously reflecting Bach and Mozart without sounding thoroughly like either one. The program is filled out by small dances and other works in various styles, from purely neotonal to postmodern in the final half-step-drenched elaboration on Stille Nacht. One wonders why Hope did not include the Violin Sonata No. 2, which does include a multiplicity of styles and was a key starting point for the composer's later style. Deutsche Grammophon's sound from the Beethovenhaus in Bonn is over-resonant and gives the music a harsh edge. However, despite these quibbles, Hope plays with real enthusiasm, and accompanist Alexey Botvinov is appropriately circumspect. The album offers an enjoyable introduction to the chamber music of a composer who was pursuing neotonal ideas well before anyone in the West.
