The Duo Maiss You was founded by Burkhard Maiss and Ji-Yeoun You. Burkhard Maiss is founding member of the Jacques Thibaud Trio and has traveled the world giving concerts for more than twenty-five years. He has performed in the most prestigious concert series around the world, receiving tremendous acclaim from the critics and the audience. The New York Times wrote that “Burkhard Maiss’s violin sound is rich and warm, like full-bodied red wine”. Despite all the years lying in between, one can sense the sonata for violin and piano op. 121 by Robert Schumann and the sonata for viola and piano op. 120-1 by Johannes Brahms as an intimate exchange between their composers: a dialogue of two partners as equals. In the present recording, Burkhard Maiss and Ji-Yeoun You have made this musically comprehensible. The duo utilizes both the violin and the viola in their concerts – a practice only scarcely present in nowadays concert life.
