This sonata combines pleasurability, interestingness and substance; novel and charming melodies with elegant modulation and exquisite harmony. The sonata’s magnificent style compares favourably to Mozart’s best works of this kind.” (Review of the Sonata op. 11 in: Zeitung für die elegante Welt, 1807) “Whether or not Wilms had Mozart in mind – he certainly held him in his heart! Without doubt, he has matched the master with this work.” Continue reading “Werner von Schnitzler / Jakub Tylman / Cosmin Boeru – Johann Wilhelm Wilms: Violin Sonatas & Piano Trio (2010) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Now in the latter half of their career, all the experience is showing face with Scorched as it somehow rings more mature, refined, and embellished with hints of more than just thrash metal.
