Richard Strauss Violin Sonata Op. 18, Campoli and Tryon, part 2 of 3

I consider the Richard Strauss Sonata, op. 18 one of the finest sonatas ever written for violin and piano. Alfredo Campoli and Valerie Tryon bring to life this sonata in a beautiful 1968 recording. I think it rivals the superb performance by Heifetz in 1972 given at his last public recital. It is unfortunate that this recording by Campoli and Tryon has never been re-issued on CD. They have also recorded other great sonatas for violin and piano. I have the Respighi, Debussy, Liszt, and Turina sonatas but, like the Strauss, they have yet to be issued on CD. Alfredo Campoli was a giant among violinist and I hope his recording legacy, especially these sonatas for violin and piano, becomes widely available very soon.
