''My inspiration for this disc goes back to my childhood when I first sightread the Sonata in D ... ever since then I was captivated by this music and gradually learned all the Sonatas as well as Viola d'amore Sonata ...'' Roman has told The Violin Channel.

''I hope the listeners will see Hindemith the way I see him after recording this project ...  listening to the final cut, I realized we had drawn the portrait of a man whose wildness hid a tender side, whose severity concealed humour ... and behind whose crustiness there lay a capacity for ecstasy," he has said.
