In the February issue of Gramophone, Andrew Mellor meets the fiery Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, who has unleashed the staggering force of her personality on a new disc – with pianist Polina Leschenko – of sonatas by Ravel, Poulenc and Bartók and Dohnányi. The album is called 'Deux' and is also reviewed in the February issue. 

The record label Alpha has produced a fascinating insight into the making of the album and Kopatchinskaja's musical approach, which you can enjoy below:
