Our Take

What a delightful surprise it is to stumble upon the mesmerizing collaboration between pianist Anna Gourari, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, and conductor Markus Poschner on their interpretation of Paul Hindemith and Alfred Schnittkein's works. This album is a journey through the minds of two incredibly innovative composers, each pushing the boundaries of classical music in their own unique way.

Gourari's piano playing is nothing short of spectacular, effortlessly navigating the intricate melodies and harmonies that Hindemith and Schnittkein have crafted. Poschner's conducting adds an extra layer of depth to the performances, bringing out the subtleties and nuances in the music that might otherwise be overlooked.

The album opens with Hindemith's Piano Concerto, a piece that showcases Gourari's technical prowess and emotional depth. The juxtaposition of Hindemith's modernist tendencies with Gourari's sensitive touch creates a captivating listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding.

Schnittkein's Concerto for Piano and Strings is equally mesmerizing, blending elements of neoclassicism with a more avant-garde approach. Gourari's performance is nothing short of magnificent, drawing the listener in with her exquisite phrasing and dynamic range.

Overall, this album is a triumph of interpretation and execution. Gourari, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, and Markus Poschner have created a musical masterpiece that is sure to delight and inspire listeners of all tastes. Dive in and experience the magic for yourself - you won't be disappointed.
