Sehrlangsam from Nobilissima visione

Hindemith’s Violin Sonatas fascinatingly mirrorthe various stages in the development of his musical language from the vocabulary of late Romanticism to the monumental, contrapuntal and revivi?ed Baroque idiom of his maturity. They are performed here by virtuoso German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender who has made a speciality of the music of the early twentieth century.

This album, and its companion of the Piano Sonatas, commemorates the ?ftieth anniversary of Hindemith’s death.
