		Schwanendreher is a concerto for viola (Hindemith's own instrument), based on German folk-themes, ending with a jolly set of variations.
		Der Schwanendreher (subtitled, "Concerto after old folksongs, for viola and small orchestra") is the real discovery on this disc.
		III consists of a set of variations on the old German song, 'Seid ihr nicht der Schwanendreher?', which the composer found in Franz Bohme's Altdeutsches Liederbuch (published in 1877), the same collection that also supplied some of the source material for his 1934 opera Mathis Der Maler.

		His reputation as a reactionary and as a detractor of Hitler meant that when his Symphony "Mathis der Maler" (an orchestral prequel to the opera of the same name) was wildly successful at its first performance in 1934, Hindemith was fllisted and within a few years his music banned.
		First is the viola concerto entitled "Der Schwanendreher." A Schwanendreher is, to be blunt, a cook charged with the task of turning a swan on a spit to see that it is cooked thoroughly.
		He was in England to perform "Der Schwanendreher" for the first time in England, but when King George V died on the evening of 20 January 1936, the light-hearted mood of the viola concerto was not deemed appropriate for national broadcast on the 22nd.

		His 1934 opera and symphony, Mathis der Maler (Mathias the Painter), which explored the relation between art, artist, and society, triggered a campaign against him by the Nazi Kulturgemeinde.
		Withdrawing into a private sphere, an "inner emigration" (the phrase is Michael Kube's), Hindemith wrote his third viola concerto in the summer and fall of 1935.
		The work's title, Der Schwanendreher (The Swan-Turner), is frankly puzzling: a medieval term, it refers to the kitchen helper who turns roasting swans on a spit!

		The first disc brings an apocalyptic performance of ‘Mathis der Maler’ with an awesome ‘Angelic Concert’ and a truly massive ‘Temptations of St Anthony’.
		Walther returns with an equally exquisite ‘Der Schwanendreher’ and the disc concludes with what I feel is Hindemith’s best work, the ‘Nobilissima Visione’, another beautifully charged interpretation.
		In ‘Harmonie der Welt’, we have a three movement structure in a programmatic format that’s is also very original.

		Hindemith’s opera Mathis the Painter, that premiered in 1934, had dealt with the very un-Nazi topic of the delicate relationship of the artist to the state; suffice it to say that Dr. Goebbels and Hindemith had their differences.
		It is typical of this composer that, just as his life was showing signs of falling apart, he would write a work as outwardly genial as Der Schwanendreher; however, equally typical, there are subtle undercurrents.
		A Schwanendreher (literally “swan-turner”) was the servant who turned the spit as the swan roasted at a medieval banquet; Hindemith drew a cartoon to illustrate the piece showing not a single roasting bird, but several swans skewered on a wheel.

		There have been other excellent recordings of the work, including Bernstein's and Ormandy's, but this one combines easeful virtuosity and rambunctious good humor with Hindemith's characteristic intellectual severity in a way that's quite special.
		So it is also with Mathis der Maler, a Steinberg specialty (he recorded it for EMI while in Pittsburgh) that captures the music's flow better than any other version.
		As a CD Steinberg's disc makes for a short playing time, and so DG thoughtfully couples the Barenboim/Benyamini Schwanendreher, also a very good performance of a work that has fallen into near total neglect.

	HINDEMITH Orch. Works Vol III
		Whether chamber-orchestra music with soloists (the last four of his seven numbered Kammermusiken, composed in the 1920s) or full-orchestra concertos, Hindemith’s distinctive fingerprints are on everything, even the quite ugly-sounding Organ Concerto composed in 1962 for Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center, with a tonic chord at the end (too little too late).
		Best-known in this collection are the Violin Concerto from 1939, which Hindemith recorded with David Oistrakh and the London Symphony in 1962 for Decca, and two of the four works for viola—Der Schwanendreher "after old folk songs" from 1935, and Trauermusik, written January 20, 1936, between 11 a.m.
		Hindemith had been scheduled as soloist in Der Schwanendreher, but King George V died January 20, and Funeral Musik was created to replace it.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Biography of Paul Hindemith
		In 1933, the year Hitler came to power, Hindemith began work on an opera on the subject of the painter Matthias Grünewald, a medieval artist with a social conscience.
		He then settled in Switzerland, and in May 1938 Mathis der Maler was staged in Zurich, but mention of the event was forbidden in Ger.
		This lyricism grew more evident at the time of Mathis der Maler, while his harmonic idiom was based on well-controlled dissonant tensions.
