Julia Helena has a particular affinity with the sonata form. Over time, she has discovered many of them, known and virtually unknown ones. She continues to spend a great deal of time on her quest for marvellous sonatas.
This cycle is an exploration of the sonata form and how it evaluated over centuries. Rarely there has been a classical composer who would not take up the challenge of writing a sonata. Julia Helena has made a selection of finest sonatas.
