4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection for a great project, April 7 2006

By Michael Suh - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Complete Orchestral Works Vol. (Audio CD)

This box set contains mostly the wind, violin, viola, and organ concertos that Hindemith wrote. Most of these works are hard to find on disc, especially the organ works. The Violin Concerto soloist Dene Olding is a little weak, and the orchestra at times empahsizes this by showing a full force that Olding simply can't match. I find the wind concertos to be tedious and not very interesting. But the Kammermusik are uniformly excellent. The viola works are fine, as well. I thought the Trauermusik was especially good, heartrending when it needed to be, contemplative in the best sense of the word. Albert's conducting throughout is solid and sure, but it's a shame that not all of Hindemith's music is equally good. No conducting can save the clunkers from themselves (like the mediocre Clarinet Concerto), but for the price, it's a set definitely worth exploring.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Hindemith Concerto Masterpieces, May 8 2011

By Dmitri - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Complete Orchestral Works Vol. (Audio CD)

I take issue with the other reviewer. The Clarinet Concerto a clunker. IYHO sir..in your humble opinion. The Hindemith Clarinet Concerto is great. One of the few Horn Concertos of the 20th century or any century for that matter. And the Violin Concerto which remains in a gray area as far as repetoire while not the usual tuneful Hindemith is a work of high craftsmanship.

The real prize? The concerto for Trumpet and Bassoon! Oh, what an odd combination it sounds like on paper, but what a wonderful work it is. The bonus? How about the Organ Concerto? Again one of the few in the 20th century if not in all of music.

This set is jammed packed with great stuff I tell ya! And I haven't even commented on the Kammermusik or the Viola concertos!

Get this box. It's great. Highly recommended!
