Maria Shetty, Monika Wilinska-Tarcholik - Hindemith: Works for Viola and Piano

I want to see if I can extend the expressive possibilities and expand the horizon of the genre - which, in this genre, are not all that great and not all that wide - in a series of these pieces. Paul Hindemith's oeuvre devoted to the viola figures is among the most valuable literature scored for this instrument and, as far as compositions written in the 20th century are concerned, the most significant. These works are distinguished by, among other things, originality and stylistic diversity. Compositions for solo viola and with piano accompaniment are the most numerous among Hindemith's works.

Violist Maria Shetty and pianist Monika Wilinska-Tarcholik present this new release on the DUX label.

'Throughout, Shetty is at one with Monika Wilinska-Tarcholik in her bringing a humanity to this music beyond its technical dexterity.' � Gramophone
