 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Five traits characterize the man Paul Hindemith: his extensive experience as a performing artist; his endeavors to bring contemporary music to a wider audience; his enthusiasm with education; his respect for, and active promotion of, early music; and his outstanding wit and sense of humor. Hindemith began as a violinist, being appointed concert-master at the Frankfurt Opera at age 19. Later he had a brilliant career as one of Europe's foremost viola soloists and founded the famous Amar Quartet, with whom he toured widely. Other instruments on which he was an accomplished performer include the viola d'amore, the piano and the clarinet.

This album is part of a series of four compact discs featuring 15 duo sonatas by Paul Hindemith; five each for the various instruments of the woodwind, brass, and string families -- as well as two cyclical works for solo piano. Hindemith's duo sonatas remain the gold standard for appealing modern music that also successfully combines the academic and the concert hall.
