BEETHOVEN · BARTÓK / Joshua Epstein, Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden | Deutsche Grammophon

Joshua Epstein is an Israeli musician, classical violinist and music educator. The recipient of many international prizes from violin competitions and recording labels, Epstein’s work as a soloist and chamber musician is extensive. Equally extensive is his influence as a professor of violin, which extends over more than half a century. Epstein continues his work at the Hochschule für Musik Saar in Saarbrücken, Germany, where he has lived and taught since 1978.  

On his upcoming album of Sonatas by Beethoven and Bartók he is accompanied by pianist Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden. The album is released on 27 February as part of DG’s debut series, which presents first or very early recordings by artists who went on to build considerable careers. Listen to a second pre-release track, the third movement of Bartók’s Sonata for Solo Violin. The album is available for pre-order.
