Bushkova:Kharitonov - Kahn: Chamber Music Vol 1

Robert Kahn, born in Mannheim in 1865, was one of the oldest Jewish composers to have to flee from Hitler - he left Germany in 1938 and settled in Biddenden in Kent, where he died in 1951.He produced a large body of gloriously attractive chamber music, expertly crafted and basically Brahmsian in style.His three violin sonatas, written over a twenty-year-period at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, reveal a lyrical composer in the Romantic mainstream but capable of considerable formal inventiveness.
