Carl Seemann began recording for Deutsche Grammophon in 1952 and he then remained with the label for most of his career. During this time he made several acclaimed albums, including the complete Beethoven sonatas for violin and piano with his long-time musical partner Wolfgang Schneiderhan "As perfect an ensemble as one could wish for in this world... (Seemann and Schneiderhan) and his popular recordings of Mozart's sonatas and some piano concertos. The limited edition Carl Seemann: Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon brings together all of these recordings. A rare album of works by Hindemith recorded for the Koch Schwann label, a Blu-ray Pure Audio with the complete Beethoven violin sonatas, and an 84-page booklet with essays by Carsten Dürer, Joachim Kaiser, and Norbert Hornig round out the edition.
