These four works by Hindemith can be considered as full-bodied concertos for violin, viola, viola d'amore and organ. These work feature four young talented soloists, Stephen Waarts, Rimothy Ridout, Ziyu Shenand Christian Schmitt. Hindemith's Kammermusik No. 4 ('Violin Concerto') is scored for a larger orchestra than it's three predecessors and includes 24 instrumentalists. Kammermusik No. 5 ('Viola Concerto') the composer premiered himself by playing the solo part. In total, Hindemith performed this work for 85 times during the next 11 years! In a letter, Hindemith described the viola d'amore as \"the most beautiful thing that you can imagine in sound\". The composer fell in love with the instrument and wrote his Kammermusik No. 6 with this instrument in mind. Hindemith's final Kammermusik (No. 7) was written to a commission by the Southwest German Radio: the premiere of this Organ Concerto was transmitted live in 1928. The radio broadcast had a decisive role in the composer's choice of instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ondine","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Kammermusik 2 Ondine","offer_id":47255531061556,"sku":"OND1357.2","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/hindemith-eschenbach-kammermusik-2_aec-ond1357-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
