This complete recording of Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano grows from a marathon performance project that Renaud Capuçon and Frank Braley launched in their native France in Summer 2009: some 50 concerts around Europe, all devoted to the Beethoven sonatas.

"These sonatas are full of memories for me. The 'Spring' Sonata was the first piece of Beethoven I played, when I was ten years old. His music is a rite of passage for every violinist." - Renaud Capuçon

The BBC Music website has observed that: "Capuçon's style, perhaps because of his regular chamber work, is natural, understated and perceptive; the sound of a musician happily relaxed in his skin and not feeling the need to prove any virtuosic credentials." Indeed, chamber music has always played a central role in his activities, and -- beyond his cellist brother Gautier -- his regular partners include pianists Frank Braley and Nicholas Angelich, while his list of colleagues also includes such names as Martha Argerich, Daniel Barenboim, Hélène Grimaud, André Watts, Yefim Bronfman, Myung-Whun Chung, Stephen Kovacevich, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Vadim Repin, Katia and Marielle Labèque, Yuri Bashmet and Truls Mørk.
