| Wendy Warner is one of the most exciting players of the new generation
of cello virtuosi. She performs regularly throughout the United States both with
orchestras and in recital. This recording demonstrates her impeccable
musicianship and skill, performing Hindemith’s complete chamber works for
cello. The Sonata for Solo Cello, Op. 25 No. 3 is a fascinating work, with the
composer’s unique brand of harmony, and Warner makes the most of the eerily
calm slow movement. Both works for cello and piano are here as well- the Sonata,
Op. 11 No. 3 and the Sonata of 1948, showing the composer as a developing
master, and at his most mature. Also included are the fun Variations on "A
Frog He Went A-Courtin" and the early Capriccio, the closest thing to a pop
tune that Hindemith ever wrote. |
