It’s nice to see Lee Luvisi get more love on CZcams. He’s one of my favorite pianists ever, and someone all pianists need to know. He has a lovely live recording of Hindemith’s first piano sonata on CZcams, also!
I’m glad this was made, I’m no pianist but ever since I found Mathis Der Maler (my first Hindemith piece) I’ve been a huge fan of his work, this completely meets my standards of a fantastic composition!
I´m not a huge fan of Hindemith... but what a great concerto! The texture of piano and orchestra are just amazing. I´ts true that it sounds like Ravel and Bartok in some parts... but whit the "bachianan-style" of Hindemith and his obsession whit 4ths harmony... Great work. Thanks for the score!
Hindemith war ein Meister des Kontrapunktes und filigraner Satztechnik, außerdem ein Komponist von außergewöhnlichem rhythmischem Erfindungsreichtum. Auch wenn er Dissonanzen nicht scheut und es zu massiven Klanganballungen kommen lässt, so löst er sie doch immer wieder organisch auf: seine Musik - ein Spiel mit Tönen - atmet. Ich betrachte ihn als "J.S. Bach des 20. Jahrhunderts".
Thanks for posting this! The pianist has a lovely sound and the integration with the orchestra (the performers, conductor and recording technicians) is top notch. Really enjoyed hearing a non-showy piano concerto - will listen again and again. I like the quote (what else can you call it?) from Ravel's piano concerto - a moment of tongue-in-cheek humor?
The 2nd movement really stuns the fluteandpicc over trills in strings and melodylines come in and out of keys .I can't believe a German wrote this freely .I don't really get it but it sounds!And Sounds Great! IWonderful !'ve tried for decades and NOW ! Finally I'm awake to the wonders,vicissitudesand beauties of Himdemith's language. Seems like living in America put some jazz into his music .ut Johhny spielt Auf was written in Europe and many partook of jazz before coming to the U's. Must get bioof Hindemith ! He taught everyone like Scalero and Milhaud .
The time signatures written above the staff that only apply to one measure I've only ever seen in Hindemith's works. The time signatures with notes instead of number in the denominator I have seen in other composers' works (I prefer them actually).
@@PLTConductorComposer To be fair they do make compound time signatures way more intuitive for learners, and are good at clearing up ambiguities in how to count uncommon metres
I also did not know Hindenburg wrote piano concertos. They are stunning. Did you know he sought refuge at Wells College in Aurora, NY when facing persecution as a Jew in Europe during World War II?
@@Cmaj7 _The Craft of Musical Composition_ is more of an argument for tonality. Serialism had become all the rage; even Aaron Copland and Igor Stravinsky adopted it. It’s an educational book, but it does not provide any instruction for composition.
If you haven’t already, you might want to read up on tone rows and serialism. Even tho it seems like there’s not a pattern here, there are still western forms present (call and response, sequencing) in both harmonic and melodic structure.

I love those time signatures.
And the music of course!
i've loved his piano sonatas and symphonic works for years (Mathis der Maler ftw), but somehow never knew Hindemith had a piano concerto.. great stuff
He has this concerto, another one (for left hand) and variations for piano and strings (four temperaments, ballet music)
You should also listen to his Ludus Tonalis for piano, although its versions posted on CZcams are not good in general
@@JorgeMorales-fv5cl Do you have a recommendation of what recording of Ludus Tonalis to listen to?

The wind section in the first movement reminds me of the first movement of Schoenberg's piano concerto
16:40 - 17:09: beautiful tension and release.
It's ridiculous how much our tastes align. And the music you post is always interesting to me. Probably my favorite video - score page on CZcams
@@segmentsAndCurves nah, just a minor 2nd

Hindemith is Bach from another planet. After 500 years, his music will be understood.
The second movement in particular is fantastic.
Totally agree, the orchestration is perfect !
absolutely

I find it pretty boring. More the Händel of the 20th century.
長調でも短調でもない時間がすごく長く続く感じがヒンデミットさんの真骨頂かと思います。
ヴァイオリン協奏曲が好きですがこの曲もいいですね。
聴く機会を頂きありがとうございます。

That 2nd movement 👌
such clever orchestration at the beginning of the 2nd mov. Great concerto, thanks for sharing!
Great! I think I used to possess a Richter recording. BRAVO from San Agustinillo!
Magnifique concerto
I've never seen a note istead of a number in the time signature before!
Wonderful! 👍👍👍❤️🧡💚💕 Thank you for posting this!

I was not familiar with Hindemith before this, thank you.
I recommend his Symphonic Metamorphosis, Mathis der Maler, and solo cello sonata
Why have you made private half of your videos?
GUILLOM I second this.
I third this

@@Cmaj7 yay!
Hindemith wrote this concerto for, and dedicated it to the great Puerto Rican pianist Jesús Maria Sanromá, who gave the premiere.
what happened to your video of messiaen's des canyons?! I can't find it anymore
Seems like all of the Messiaen videos on this channel are privated. I hope they'll be made public again soon.
@@user-hf1jj5xb9m Yeah, such a shame, used to listen to those in the background for hours each day.

@@Cmaj7 amazing!
I've never seen time signatures written like that before? Is that a hindemithism?
Orff time signatures - thankfully rare.

I haven’t seen it in printed music, but it is generally how I introduce time signatures to my students. Interesting he adopts it here

He was not Jewish.
Why isn’t this performed more often?
How do you compose this type of music ? It seems really out of shape and non patterned..hard to explain..
Hindemith explains it in his "The Craft of Musical Composition," although I haven't read it myself.

Oh wow what an ending! It was as if Germany and Turkey switched places!
It seems he never ended his pieces in dissonance.
My like is number 666! 😅
What kind of music is this!? Everything sounds terrible, no artistic sense!
The kind you don't understand ;)
Seems as if you are not ready for this music yet ;)
Thats ok ..you dont have to like everything..may i recommend some Yanni?
@@chadweirick67 Don't worry, I prefer Bach
