Ensemble Villa Musica and MDG continue their invaluable series of Hindemith sonatas with this disc of woodwind sonatas written in the late 1930s. And as with the previous releases, the performances here are uniformly excellent and the recordings splendid.

That said, these are perhaps not the best of Hindemith's sonatas. True, they are full of immediately attractive melodies, but they are also rather workmanlike (pun, if there is one, intended), in particular the works for obo and English horn. But in performances like these, ideally accompanied by Randalu, this release is still strongly recommended. ---G.D., amazon.com
