On their third duo album on Signum Classics, Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson perform Beethoven’s Sonatas 2 and 10. Uniquely for the A major Sonata, op.12 no.2, they use a copy of an 1805 Walter (a Viennese fortepiano), and for Sonata no.10, op.96, they use a copy of an 1819 Graf, both by Paul McNulty. Together with violin strung with gut, these instruments are what Beethoven’s music craves, giving a rich texture and distinct colours between the registers.
