To commemorate the death of Hindemith 50 years ago, Ondine presents a stunning new release featuring Midori, the NDR Symphony Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach.

The Violin Concerto clearly demonstrates Hindemith’s experience as an orchestral musician and soloist – he proves to be a connoisseur of the tonal possibilities of the instrument and pushes the soloist to extraordinary lengths.

Coupled with the violin concerto are two of Hindemith’s most successful orchestral works.

Midori is recognized as an extraordinary artistic personality, making her first debut performance at the age of 11 with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta. The NDR Symphony Orchestra has had an impressive run of previous conductors, including Christoph Eschenbach, who recently completed a sell-out tour with the Vienna Philharmonic.
