Description

A series of powerful, largely radical works in the early 1920s saw Hindemith established as Germany's leading young composer. In 1936 he was asked by choreographer and dancer Léonide Massine to collaborate on a ballet project, and Hindemith proposed scenes from the life of St Francis of Assisi. The resulting ballet, Nobilissima Visione (The Noblest Vision), is a work of lyricism, elegy and majesty. This is the first recording of the complete ballet score, not the three-movement concert suite that Hindemith later extracted. The Five Pieces for String Orchestra is an earlier, spirited work dating from 1927.

Yes, now everyone agrees that NAXOS is wrong and this isn't the first time we're able to hear this glorious score in its entirety. That distinction went to KOCH with a recording by Rickenbacher. Where I disagree is with the relative merit of the two interpretations. I strongly feel that both playing and recording on this NAXOS CD is superior.As to just why the entire score of NOBILISSIMA VISIONE is so seldom heard, I haven't a guess. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the concert suite which contains only about half of the music. But make no mistake, this score is the product of one of the 3 or 4 most fertileminds in 20th Century music at one of his most important and creative periods.If you persist with the Rickenbacher/KOCH be aware that it is being hopelessly confused on AMAZON with a CD by a Swedish Rock band. I ordered it twice some time ago and received the Swedish CD both times. I finally found the KOCH in Berkeley for $5.
