The recording of Hindemith’s sonatas for brass instruments with members of the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble was a brain-child of record producer Andrew Kazdin to which Gould agreed instantaneously and whole-heartedly. In the middle of the recording session, tragedy struck: his mother died on 26 July 1975.
