"Naxos is to be thanked for this slightly unusual issue - the Quintet is such a rarity - and the performances are excellent. Everything about this issue is exemplary. I loved every minute and it shows us yet another side of this multi-faceted and multi-talented composer. The recording is fine and has some space around the performers and Habakuk Traber's notes are good. For me, essential listening."
(MusicWeb Feb 2010)
The chamber music pieces on this disc show how richly satisfying Hindemith's music can be. By turns passionate, deeply moving and humorous, each work which features the clarinet explores the wind instrument's expressive potential, whether through lyrically arching melodies, passages of lilting innocence or fiery spirit. In the Three Easy Pieces for Cello and Piano Hindemith demonstrates mastery through restraint. Spectrum Concerts Berlin has also recorded two acclaimed discs of music by Hindemith's contemporary and fellow exile Ernst Toch for Naxos (8.559324 and 8.559282).
