Amazon.com True to his German roots, Hindemith was a very serious guy, so he probably wouldn't be pleased to be told that the opening of the Symphony in E-flat sounds like the Star Wars or Superma film scores. But the music does have a truly heroic quality, and each of it's four movements is packed full of memorable material. The second movement is a funeral march of truly impressive grandeur. In short, anyone who cares about good modern symphonies really ought to hear this, and the couplings--a spicy opera overture and the magnificent ballet suite Nobilissima Visione--complement the major work perfectly. --David Hurwitz Similar CDs

CD ReviewsUnsubtle, superbly crafted and highly recommended i.jenkins@virgin.net | Goring on Thames, England | 01/15/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I saw Tortelier conduct this symphony at the 1998 Albert Hall Proms in London and I loved it. It is bombastic, top quality meaty music, not at all dry, a quality so often levelled at this composer. OK, it isn't a Shostakovich or Sibelius beater but this music gets the adrenalin going in a positive manner. The suite to Nobilissima Visione is also terrific, with a highly impressive fugal finale. To wrap this disc up we get an early overture which is riotous and full of precoiousness. The recording, performance and value for money is exemplary. Good, if not great stuff!"
