The A Z of String Players surveys the lives, careers and recordings
of over 300 string players from the past and present. Many great
string players who have made recordings are included, from Accardo
to Zukerman. The text covers artists from the earliest recording
processes to contemporary, cutting-edge technology. In this clear
and straight-forward publication, the artists are listed
alphabetically, with a summary of their career, notable recordings,
biography and critical appraisal of their recorded legacy. In
addition, four compact discs present a selection of recordings from
69 artists. This package will appeal to enthusiast and scholar
alike as a readable, informed and fascinating work of reference.
A series of powerful, largely radical works in the early 1920s saw
Hindemith established as Germany's leading young composer. In 1936
he was asked by choreographer and dancer L onide Massine to
collaborate on a ballet project and Hindemith proposed scenes from
the life of St Francis of Assisi. The resulting ballet, Nobilissima
Visione (The Noblest Vision), is a work of lyricism, elegy and
majesty. This is the first recording of the complete ballet score,
not the three-movement concert suite that Hindemith later
extracted. The Five Pieces for String Orchestra is an earlier,
spirited work dating from 1927.
