About
Hindemith’s Violin Sonatas fascinatingly mirror the various stages in the development of his musical language from the vocabulary of late Romanticism to the monumental, contrapuntal and revivified Baroque idiom of his maturity. They are performed here by virtuoso German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender who has made a speciality of the music of the early twentieth century.

April 2014
the E flat Sonata opens with arresting gestures designed to let the performers show off, which Tanja Becker-Bender and Peter Nagy seize with relish. They give generally spacious readings of all four Sonatas
December 2013
The final C major is one of the jewels in Hindemith's sonata crown and draws superb playing from Becker-Bender and Nagy. Indeed, they are superb throughout.
22nd January 2014
Becker-Bender and Péter Nagy are well matched and give thoroughly forthright performances of real integrity, vitality and intelligence.
