Paul Hindemith: Complete Music for Cello and Piano

Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) was one of the most important and influential composers of 20th century Germany. His eclectic style incorporates 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. • Within the extensive repertoire of Hindemith the music for cello and piano occupies a considerable position in terms of both quantity and quality. Hindemith was primarily a violist and conductor, but his wide-ranging interests led him to frequently experiment with a variety of instruments, becoming a de facto multi-instrumentalist. Of his various favorite instruments, the cello always occupied a special place in his oeuvre. Hindemith loved the cello’s multifaceted, complex timbre, capable of both a romantic cantabile as of new, sharper sound effects. • This new recording presents the 4 Cello Sonatas and several groups of “Stücke” for cello and piano. Played by Umberto Aleandri (cello) and Filippo Farinelli (piano), two of Italy’s top soloists, with an extensive discography to their name.
