Paul Hindemith - Symphonia Serena (1946)

Very beautiful symphony!🎼🎶🎶🎶💐

[@muslit]

This symphony should be played more often.

I have to admit, I was never that fond of Hindemith and I still feel unmoved by many of his works, but this is certainly a pleasant exception. Normally my complaint towards him is his reluctance to coherently tie his moments of beauty together, but here the piece can be listened to in practically a single breath, so cohesive and seamlessly flowing it is.

The way the two halves of the third movement fit together blew my mind when I first discovered this piece and continues to amaze me every hearing. Sadly neglected!

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Yeah. What a coinsidence that must've been!

[@windowtrimmer8211]

Hindemith does something similar to spectacular effect in the 2nd movement of the Symphony in B-flat. Two contrasting sections superimposed in the third section.

Sacré compositeur...

[@accenttunebyellie]

Love the transition at 5:54! Amazing piece!

[@kniazigor2276]

Hindemith devrait être beaucoup plus connu !

[@LukeFaulkner]

Wow... this is exquisite!

[@steveegallo3384]

True....also Spellbinding!

1. Moderately Fast (0:00) 2. Geschwindmarsch by Beethoven: Paraphrase (Wind instruments only) Rather fast (9:28) 3. Colloquy: String Orchestra in Two Sections: Quiet (12:53) 4. Finale: Gay (21:30) Great description by the way, you have a new sub :)

Opera esemplare di quel ribollente periodo detto neoclassicismo!!... Eppure, nonostante i molti meriti di questi artisti e di questa stagione, rimango sinceramente dispiaciuto nel non riuscir mai a trovare, al fondo di queste elaborate prove, un sentimento potente come avviene negli espressionisti (anche di seconda o terza generazione) o nei contemporanei russi (neoclassici anche loro?)...

[@robbyr9286]

4:47-4:50 foreshadowing 'Inna-Gadda-Da Vida'!

[@BlueMeeple]

Ugh, those time signature! I'm sure I would have played an extra b natural every now and then. :D

[@rondorondo557]

27:43, heavenly.

[@erqu93]

12:06 Beethoven, military march
