The MDG label prides itself on maintaining the "natural acoustics" of
the concert halls in which recordings are made, and shy away from
modifying the sound with added reverberation and the like. Listening to
this disc makes you wish that more labels would follow suit, especially
for small chamber works like these. The resulting sound is very much
like attending a live performance -- balance and clarity are left to the
performers rather than post hoc sound engineers.
The members of the
Ensemble Villa Musica heard in this recording represent the rest of the
ensemble well. Each of the solo instrumentalists gives energetic and
lustrous performances of the sonatas. Superb technique and intonation
meet pleasantly splendid musicianship and thoughtful interpretations.
The common thread among all of these sonatas is pianist Kalle Randalu.
His playing is always elegant, and he delivers each of the fiendishly
difficult accompaniment parts with remarkable clarity and individual
sensitivity to each of the different instruments with whom he is
playing. Collectors of Hindemith's vast output for piano and solo
instrument are well-advised to check out this series. by Mike D. Brownell
