Hindemith: String Quartets Vol. 1

Amar Quartet

Hindemith: String Quartet No. 2 in F minor, Op. 10 (1918) (previously No. 1) String Quartet No. 3 in C major, Op. 16 (1920) (previously No. 2)

Paul Hindemith wrote seven String Quartets, all of which reflect the experience and practical assurance of a distinguished violinist and, later, violist. No. 2 was written in 1918 whilst he was a soldier on active duty. It’s a bracing, dynamic and pithy work with a clever series of variations which parody romantic excess, and a virtuosic finale. No. 3 followed early in 1920 and was an instant success, a thrilling example of Hindemith’s concise imagination at work. This passionate quartet, with its richly varied material, is one of his supreme chamber masterpieces.
