Hindemith composed more than thirty sonatas for an incredibly diverse collection of instruments - all of which he was capable of playing himself.

Soloists include violinist Isabelle Faust, cellist Alexander Rudin, trumpeter Jeroen Berwaerts, trombonist Gerard Costes and Teunis van der Zwart playing the rarely heard althorn.
