Long-time recital partners, Canadian violinist James Ehnes and American pianist Andrew Armstrong perform music by two composer friends, Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann.  They begin with Schumann’s Second Violin Sonata, premiered by Clara Schumann at the piano and Joseph Joachim on the violin, who called it ‘one of the finest compositions of our times’ and that the last movement reminded him of the sea.  James Ehnes then moves to viola to perform Brahms’s intimate Second Sonata for viola.
