Ondine's successful Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) recordings with the NDRSinfonieorchester conducted by Christoph Eschenbach continue withanother release featuring two major symphonic works by the composer:Symphonie 'Mathis der Maler' and Symphonie in Es.

The orchestra's and Christoph Eschenbach's previous Hindemith releasetogether with Midori won a Grammy Award in 2014.

"Eschenbach's trademark fondness for textural warmth and clarity is much to the fore in Mathis, where strings and woodwind are admirably numinous…[his] approach to the underrated Symphony in E flat, meanwhile, is epic, thoughtful and at times startlingly measured." (Gramophone)

"Eschenbach and the NDR Symphony Orchestra give a fine performance, in quite spacious tempos…[and] the recorded sound is good - you wouldn't know it is 'live'" (BBC MUsic)
