About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: An accomplished performer on the viola, piano, and clarinet, Paul Hindemith used to brag that he could play any instrument in the orchestra with a little practice. Over the course of his prolific career, the German composer proved that he could write for any instrument as well, and that very notion became something of a mission for him- to ensure that each instrument had it's share of solo repertoire. Convergent Winds, a new recording from Oberlin Music, showcases five sonatas Hindemith wrote for woodwinds. It features performances by a host of esteemed Oberlin Conservatory faculty clarinetist Richard Hawkins, pianist James Howsmon, flutist Alexa Still, oboist and English hornist Robert Walters, and retired bassoonist George Skakeeny. The works were written between 1936- a time when Hindemith's music was banned from performance in Nazi Germany- to 1942, by which time he has resettled in America. For Howsmon, a longtime professor of instrumental accompanying at Oberlin, the recording pays tribute to an exacting neoclassicist whose music has unfairly fallen out of fashion. InchRather than being a huge innovator, Hindemith took his inspiration from past eras, and yet he had a really wonderful approach to it,Inch Howsmon says. InchHe took old models and made them look new, and no matter how wild he gets, you can always find where his starting point was, and it was always 150 years before. He's like a master furniture builder- a total craftsman. There have been others who have done that, of course, but to me he is the best of them.
