Synopsis

Product Description
British violist Lawrence Power turns his attention to an incalculably important body of work for the instrument: a complete survey of Hindemith's music for viola. Volume one features the Sonata in F major Opus 11 No. 4, a graceful and charming work that may surprise those who are only aware of Hindemith's place in the European avant-garde. The Sonata Opus 25 No. 4, written only three years later, shows the rapid development of Hindemith's style. It is a lean, rhythmically driven work in which the piano plays an unusually prominent role. Also included on the disc are two later works, the Sonata of 1939 and teh Meditation from Noblissima visione from 1938.
