Hindemith: Complete Cello Concertos

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Concerto in E-flat is an early work in a derivative, late Romantic style--though it's very well written all the same. Kammermusik No. 3, by contrast, is one of Hindemith's linear, spiky, neo-Baroque answers to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. The later Cello Concerto, which dates from the 1940s, stands among the composer's finest works for solo and orchestra. The second movement not only begins with one of his all-time best tunes, it became the source of William Walton's extraordinary Variations on a Theme by Hindemith. It makes great sense to have all of Hindemith's music for cello and orchestra together on a single disc. If you love the cello, then baby, your ship has come in. --David Hurwitz

Hindemith Complete Cello Concertos.......2000-12-14

This recording of Hindemith's complete concertos for cello and orchestra neatly collects three important and diverse works in one unique package. In fact, this is the only available recording of his Concerto in E flat, Op. 3. This early work is extremely difficult, and David Geringas, a phenominal Rostropovich protege, executes this Straussian/Wagnerian composition marvelously. The recording of the other two concertos are equally exciting, with driven tempi and interperatation. The full bodied accompaniment for these works is supplied in equally charged performances by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
