Info for Beethoven: Complete Violin Sonatas

Daishin Kashimoto has many strings to his bow, an outstanding and passionate performer of chamber music, a busy solo career with the world's greatest orchestras, as well as his position as first concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

“It is never easy to work on a Beethoven piece, not just the sonatas but even the small chamber pieces or orchestral pieces, especially spiritually or psychologically,” Daishin said during the recording process. “I always try to understand the genius of Beethoven. Making music at the highest level like this gives me tremendous satisfaction and a feeling of being emotionally complete.”

“Kashimoto, a thoughtful player with a warm, refined tone, has a solid rapport with pianist Konstantin Lifschitz...Kashimoto takes us on a high-class conducted tour - admirable in its way, but hardly fire and ice.” (BBC Magazine)

In 1988, Kashimoto gave his first recital, as well as his first concert as a soloist with the New York Symphonic Ensemble in New York.
