While not for everyone, those listeners who do try Zarukin's Ludus Tonalis will be blown away. Zarukin plays with strength and sensitivity and the recording captures it with vivid immediacy. The only reality here is Zarukin's performance on this recording and that performance on this recording is simply magnificent. Whether it would work in concert performed by an orchestra is beside the point. Hindemith, Paul: I-Catalogue Number I-Cat. Pavel Zarukin has concocted a captivating orchestral arrangement of the work, has executed it convincingly on the synthesizer, and has performed it compellingly on this recording. (Another is Shostakovich’s Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues, which I also review on this site. Fuga tertia in F Major Kbi LareteiHindemith: Ludus Tonalis 1966 Universal Inter. Didactic music - LUDUS TONALIS - Game of tonalities piano, 1942) - a Prelude, a cycle of 12 fugues -one in each key, linked by modulatory interludes. Hindemith, Ludus Tonalis (1942) Ludus tonalis, which contains interludes and fugues in all 24 keys, is one of the twentieth century’s principal responses to Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier.
But now that it's here, the world can only be grateful because, as unlikely as it seems, this is one heck of a performance of Ludus Tonalis. Provided to YouTube by Universal Music GroupHindemith: Ludus Tonalis - 6.
Was the world really crying out for an orchestral transcription of Paul Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis performing on the Roland XP-50? Probably not: in fact, the world probably was not crying out for any performance at all of Hindemith's twentieth century Art of the Fugue, much less an orchestral arrangement played on a synthesizer. Why this recording exists is anybody's guess.
