Rodolphe Kreutzer was the violinist to whom Beethoven dedicated his ninth and finest violin sonata, and its piano part is recast for orchestra in this new arrangement. Colin Jacobsen gives a commandingly eloquent account of the solo part, the orchestra fleshing out the piano writing into a full-blown, concerto-style accompaniment. Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1—named “Kreutzer Sonata” after a Tolstoy novella—gets a similar orchestral treatment, in a vividly spiky performance by the Brooklyn-based ensemble The Knights. Shorter pieces by Colin Jacobsen and Anna Clyne complete an album that draws intriguing threads of influence through a group of composers not normally yoked together.
