Bartok / Moncado / Hansjacob Staemmler - Bartok Hindemith & Poulenc [CD]

Elias David Moncado, 21 years old, German-Spanish-Malaysion Violinist, has won many 1st prizes and is regarded as one of the most potential Top-Top classical artist in the new future. Each of these three composers dealt in some special way with psychological stress and anxiety in their lives. In the Poulenc sonata I find a concealed passion, harsh brutality, and overwhelming pain. The Hindemith sonata contrasts and juxtaposes sombre, dancelike, and heroic elements. The timbres in the Bartók are incredibly elaborate, and a general mood of suffering imbues the entire work.
