Les Vents Francais - Hindemith: Wind Sonatas (CD) - CD

Details: Each of the five members of wind 'supergroup' Les Vent Français, partnered by pianist Eric le Sage, plays a sonata written by Paul Hindemith in the dramatic years between 1936 and 1943 - compact, lucid and engaging works for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and alto horn. "These Hindemith sonatas are a great asset to the wind repertory," says oboist François Leleux. "Hindemith took a very particular approach to each instrument, with a wonderful sense for it's individual sound."
