HINDEMITH
Ludus Tonalis / Suite '1922' John McCabe, piano [ Hyperion Helios / CD - released 1/Jan/2013 ] Ludus Tonalis is that great work of intellectual gymnastics which has been called a '20th-century composer's reappraisal of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier', but its twelve fugues and their interludes are notable equally for their emotion as for their... |
