Product Description

Amazon.com
Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis is a series of fugues and interludes, almost a 20th-century equivalent to Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier on a smaller scale. Hans Petermandl, who once performed Hindemith's Piano Concerto with the composer conducting, has made a specialty of Hindemith's music. He cannot command quite as much keyboard color as Sviatoslav Richter, whose Pyramid CD from a live performance is a memorable experience. Yet Petermandl's approach, more direct but still very colorful also, is an equally valid way to hear Hindemith's music. The bonus piece isn't a big deal, but the disc is still highly recommended to Hindemithians. --Leslie Gerber
