@ChollieD The label is Dante, 1998, piano Frieda Bauer. You will find the Brahms on Amazon under his name. I got this CD 1998 as a birthday present from G.Zhislin, when I was studying with him, and love it very much! I never heard such a sensual, tender, passionate G major Sonata!!! There is also a CD at the same label of Paganini 24 Caprices. But there he was not at his best IMHO, also here with Handel. He could play much better! I also highly recommend his Penderecki Viola Concerto recording!

@violinovic Oh I need to hear that! Any hints on how to find their Brahms sonatas? Label info, recording date, anything would be terrific.
Thanks in advance!

@ChollieD Yes, Frieda Bauer, who used to be David Oistrakh's accompanist, was Zhislin's accompanist for a very long time. Their recording of the Brahms sonatas is one of the best I've ever heard, and I've heard them all. I actually prefer Zhislin's recording over the others. He's also a great viola player, of course. Penderecki f.e. dedicated his Cadenza for viola solo to him. And he's an eminent teacher, too, many of his violin students are internationally known soloists.
grigori zhislin is an incredible violinist. he would have deserved a much bigger career than the one he had.

The violinst has not the class that the viola player has.
