The one hundred and fifty-fourth classical recording: #722 George Enescu - Violin Sonata no. 3
There's a real sadness to this sonata. Scored for violin and piano, it feels like it has these two instruments both do their own thing, harmoniously but not meeting, creating a distance by design. The violin's slow music sounds torturous at times, with the piano providing more comfort in this piece. It's not that disconcerting - certainly no Ravel - but it's a piece that keeps you on your toes a lot more.
