NDR Sinfonieorchester & Christoph Eschenbach - Hindemith: Mathis Der Maler (2015)

Ondine's successful Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) recordings with the NDR Sinfonieorchester conducted by Christoph Eschenbach continue with another release featuring two major symphonic works by the composer: Symphonie 'Mathis der Maler' and Symphonie in Es. Christoph Eschenbach's previous Hindemith release, together with Midori, won a Grammy Award in 2014.

Eschenbach's approach to the underrated Symphony in E flat is epic , thoughtful and at times startlingly measured. --Gramophone, Nov'15

Christoph Eschenbach and the NDR Symphony Orchestra give a fine performance, in quite spacious tempos. Eschenbach has all the requisite feeling for Hindemith's world. Performance **** Recording **** --BBC Music Magazine, Feb'16
