"Mit überragender Spieltechnik setzt Christoph Schickedanz bei dieser CD-Premiere ein Signal, dieses monumentale Werk überhaupt erst hören zu lernen." (Ensemble - Magazin für Kammermusik)
"Schickedanz is in full command in a performance of tremendous virtuosity, breadth and sensitivity. [He] is superb in how he controls every detail. Whilst the first sonata is complex and takes time to fully appreciate, all the works on this fine CD have much to offer especially in such wonderful, well recorded performances as these." (The Classical Reviewer)
Four works – four composing styles – four creative periods of Ernst Krenek – four trouvailles of classical modernism. The first Solo Sonata urges towards expressive breadth, the Triophantasie alludes to the music of Franz Schubert. The second Sonata for Violin and Piano, modern in idiom and classical in form, was written in exile. The second Solo Sonata presents a condensed, more objective counterpart of the first. Christoph Schickedanz convinces with outstanding technical brilliance, multifaceted colouration and exuberant music-making.
