Paul Hindemith: Complete Brass Works (1990)

Close

Part of the cultural fallout in Western Europe just after the First World War was the conviction that Romanticism had to be expunged from contemporary artistic life. Assorted ideologies, theories and techniques, often colliding with one another, were offered as tools for this purpose, and Paul Hindemith (1895-1963), then the boy wonder of German music, investigated a considerable number of them in his wildly eclectic compositions. What with atonal dabbling, nose-thumbing at bourgeois values via jazzy sitcom operas and so on, it was no wonder, when the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the archmoralist Adolf Hitler declared Hindemith a cultural Bolshevist.
