Hindemith's music for cello closely follows his evolution as a composer. With elements which look back to Schumann, Three Pieces, Op. 8 is among his earliest published works, while the solo Sonata, Op. 25 is indebted to Bach's Cello Suites and is one of the most intense and demanding of his chamber works. The ingenious variations on A frog he went a-courting are lighter in nature, contrasting with the weighty depths of the Sonata for Cello and Piano.
"This disc has been an eye-opener in terms of how much pleasure I have obtained from it; the sound quality likewise. Whilst I expected to hear music of quality I did not anticipate the intensity and personality that comes from these works. This modestly priced recital will help introduce Hindemith to listeners hitherto unaware of this high-class music." (MusicWeb April 2015)
