The fifth volume in Metier's Beethoven Explored series brings superlative performances of the Opus 12 Violin Sonatas and the relatively unknown B flat sonata by Beethoven's contemporary Andreas Romberg. Celebrated English violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved is highly regarded in the U.S. due to his now annual tours, and also for his championing of American composers such as Elliott Schwartz and George Rochberg, and his recordings of their works for Metier.
