Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Paul Hindemith's "Music for Strings," a classical piano masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of neoclassical composition. Released in January 1991 under the Imp. label, this album is a testament to Hindemith's virtuosity and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.
Spanning a total of 63 minutes, the album is a collection of intricate and beautifully crafted pieces. It begins with the "Funf Stucke, Op. 44," a series of five movements that showcase Hindemith's mastery of tempo and dynamics, from the slow and deliberate "Langsam" to the lively "Lebhaft." The album also features the renowned "Adagio for Strings, Op. 11," a piece that is as hauntingly beautiful as it is technically demanding.
The "Simple Symphony, Op. 4" offers a delightful contrast with its playful and boisterous movements, including the "Boisterous Bouree" and the "Frolicsome Finale." Hindemith's ability to blend humor and sophistication is evident in these pieces, making them a joy to listen to.
The album also includes a selection of traditional Romanian folk dances, arranged by Hindemith, which add a unique cultural flavor to the collection. These pieces, such as "Jocul Cu Bata" and "Braul," are not only technically impressive but also offer a glimpse into the rich musical heritage of Romania.
"Music for Strings" is not just an album; it is a journey through the diverse landscapes of Hindemith's musical genius. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire you.
This is a 1966 Reissue released as a LP.

Not really for me: Way too messy and lacks tunes. A lot of their stuff sounds like a jam-packed freeway.
