From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Much to my dismay...

...I really don't care for the sound of either Helmchen's piano OR Zimmermann's violin in all 3 volumes of these sonatas. I don't think its recording technique as BIS is usually very good at capturing natural tonalities in a great balance of direct and hall sound. I think it comes down to the instruments themselves. I listen to the stereo hi-res tracks. The performances seem quite fine but I'm having a hard time getting over the sound. Makes me wish Helmchen played a Steinway D. Maybe over time I'll get used to the sonorities here because the playing is quite good.
