Album Notes & Community Reviews

This definitive recording features Riccardo Chailly conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra through the complete cycle of Hindemith's revolutionary chamber concertos. Composed in the 1920s, the 'Kammermusik' pieces heavily utilize polyphony, jazz inflections, and unconventional instrumentation鈥攊ncluding the viola d'amore and early sirens鈥攖o champion the 'New Objectivity' movement. The pristine performance perfectly captures the angular, energetic spirit of the Weimar Republic avant-garde.
