Hindemith (1895-1963)

Description:

Roman Mintz, the poster child of contemporary violin works! Hindemith's Complete Violin Sonatas! Roman Mintz, the Moscow-born virtuoso violinist who has been commissioned to perform Russian premieres of works by John Tavener, James MacMillan, Giacinto Scelsi, and many others, is also a producer for the Quartz label. Roman Mintz, producer of the Quartz label, has recorded the complete works for violin and piano, including four violin sonatas by Paul Hindemith and a rare recording of the "Sonata for Viola d'Amore and Piano," "Small Sonata/Kleine Sonata," with his old friend, the renowned Russian pianist Alexander Kobrin. Hindemith's sonatas are the most popular. Hindemith's sonatas are an important repertoire that Roman Mintz was exposed to as a young man studying in Moscow, and that the works have had a special significance for more than 30 years since then.
