Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) was one of the most important and influential composers of 20th century Germany. His eclectic style incorporated diverse influences such as expressionism, neo-classicism and even jazz. His music is energetic, rhythmically vibrant, witty and joyous, but also able to express deeper and tragic feelings.
· The Sonatas for wind instruments and piano were written as “Gebrauchsmusik”, not intended for the concert hall, pure music written to create approachable music for as many people as possible. The instruments featured are: oboe, clarinet, flute, bassoon, horn, trumpet, English Horn, alto saxophone, trombone and tuba. In all these works Hindemith’s particular style shines through: from the strict neo-classicism, the “Neue Sachlichkeit” to vigorous expressionism, all sharing his joy of invention and creation.
· Another wonderful project by pianist Filippo Farinelli, who arranged these recordings with the best Italian soloists
