The two works on this disc are from 1940, the year when Hindemith was finally persuaded by various American friends to leave war-torn Europe. Hindemith was also ready to leave his experiments of youth behind. These works are from that early mature period. The Concerto for Cello and Orchestra is a masterful balance of harmonic forces at work between the solo instrument and the orchestra. Hindemith's Theme and Four Variations The Four Temperaments began life as a ballet, but ended up as suite for solo piano and strings. Though not a concerto, it still gives the soloist enough to do. --Paul Cook
