Hindemith: Piano Sonata No. 2 in G major

Janacek’s Concertina for Piano and Chamber Orchestra was recorded live in Moscow in 1980. The Hinemith Sonata for Viola and Piano sees Richter joined by the world’s greatest Viola player, Yuri Bashmet. This was recorded in 1985. The Bassoon Sonatas were also recorded live in Moscow, in 1978. This is the 20th volume in Doremi’s top-selling range of cds.

The Canadian musician Glenn Gould was undoubtedly one of the greatest pianists of all time. To mark the 75th anniversary of his birth, and the 25th anniversary of his death, Sony BMG Masterworks presents this seminal artist’s vinyl recordings as re-mastered CDs, designed to replicate the exact artwork of the original gramophone records in miniaturised form. Already issued as part of an 80-CD box set (88697130942), these albums are now being made available individually, with the first 20 in the series being released in November 2007.

As part of the extensive Glenn Gould Anniversary series of releases, celebrating what would have been the great pianist’s 80th birthday year, Sony Classical presents a series of 20 collections and box sets.

The sets are mainly composer-based collections, with a natural focus on the works of Bach, but also containing collections of Beethoven, Haydn, Hindemith, Mozart and Schoenberg. Also included is a 2 disc collection of Renaissance and Baroque music and a collection of live concert performances.
