HINDEMITH: Violin Sonatas [CD de audio] Eliot Lawson, Jill Lawson and Hindemit

The Hindemith year 2013 saw many excellent and valuable new recordings of his works, and this edition adds another tribute to this intriguing German composer. The violin sonatas span the composer's life and offer a clear view of his stylistic development, from the early influences of the late German Romantics Reger and Richard Strauss to his experiments with jazz, polytonality and atonality, and his own adaptations of baroque and classical elements: an eclectic style, very personal, full of energy, passion and ingenuity. Excellent performances by Jill and Eliot Lawson, a wonderful violinist and a very young musician (Lorin Maazel).
