Performed this for my senior recital 56 years ago. Great to hear this after so many years. My how my ears have changed. The accompanist is really the star.
Well, I agree, but disagree. In best practice, the pianist and the [other instrumentalist] are EQUAL stars. That is the essence of a Sonata. In this recording, we find the balance that is often lacking, either via one performer's lack of skill/ear/comprehension, or the mixing engineer's ingnorance.
The opening of the Trauermusik movement always reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith's score to the Planet of the Apes movie... Brilliant composition, as per usual, by Hindemith - and by Goldsmith.
I love it!!! Hindemith is one of a handful of my absolute favorite composers. Memoriztion of works is always best for brilliant performance, so fogged glasses were a blessing!!!!
Addendum:. When I auditioned at Yale for the DMA, I paid $500.00 in advance to the pianist. They didn't show up.I played the entire DMA Audition Recital " A CAPELLA", & Memorized! Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet, ret.

Played it too to get into Julliard. FAIL ! - was an alternate lol . Maurice may be the best ever.
That's not an accompanist. It is the pianist of a chamber piece.

Who is the pianist? It's too good. Why is the name of the pianist not written ?
Great artist M. Andre, he plays trumpet and piano so well, bravo!!!!

I memorized the Sonate by Hindemith because I fogged my glasses so badly when I performed that memorization was my only option.
That's awesome:)

That is so cool my brother in brass.
I hope you got your money back! ;-)
You are not the only one who has been ditched by a pianist due to this piece lol
Bach in the case of Hindemith is never far away.......
I like it, it's way different than I play it tho, for it's way louder and faster, how you play it sound very good tho as well
Do u know who the "you" you are referring to is?:) hint: he was from France and he was a pretty decent trumpet player;) lol
Samuel Lee you mean god? Lol
Who s the pianist ? Incredible,so hard work this peice and no name for musicien. Pfffffff
Jean Hubeau
