The expressive vitality in this collection of violin sonatas transcends the cultural upheavals from which these three Ukrainian composers emerged. Bortkiewicz's Violin Sonata is among the most impressive of his relatively few chamber works, finding his musical language at its most vivid and directly communicative; Kosenko's is notable for the satisfying balance of its two subtly differentiated movements; Skoryk's has pointed allusions to Beethoven, Prokofiev and Gershwin.
