Overview
This exceptional recording brings together three of Paul Hindemith's most dynamic orchestral works, performed by the legendary Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Claudio Abbado. The album opens with Hindemith's Mathis der Maler Symphony, which features a striking portrayal of the artist Mathis and his struggles in the face of political and personal turmoil. The Nobilissima Visione suite follows, with its rich textures and dramatic intensity, while the Symphonische Metamorphosen provides a masterful reimagining of themes by Carl Maria von Weber. Abbado’s expert interpretation and the orchestra's precision elevate Hindemith’s innovative compositions to new heights.
