About

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.

Awards and reviews

Christmas Issue 2013

Midori taps into the msuic's vein of anxiety, delivering taut sinewy playing in the outer movements and bringing lyrical eloquence to the more reflective passages...Eschenbach is absolutely inspired in the Konzertmusik, the NDR's strings and brass relishing the music's ebullience and dynamic power.

November 2013

The NDR players audibly relish [the Metamorphosis'] challenges and elan...theirs is a highly engaging version…

11th December 2013

Midori and Eschenbach approach the work in the spirit of refinement and purity of tone...Midori’s approach is one of concentration of tonal projection - a ringing, tight, silvery sound that opens up principally in the slow section of the finale where she widens her vibrato appreciably.
