@@Warp75For decades, Hindemith was a modern composer one could mention in the same breath as Stravinsky and R. Strauss. Since 1970 he has been merely half-acknowledged at most.
Truly, this Saturday has gone from rather depressing & discouraging for me to nothing short of a delight & gift now that I’ve discovered your channel. ~Regards
Hindemith says he and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra had performed Bruckner's Fourth at a recent concert at the Ravinia Festival! Where is that recording?
I wonder about the purported date of this interview. If it really was April 1963, Hindemith was dead only eight months later. But I have seen photos of him looking much older than the spry chap in this video. ???
Edward F. Burkard The date is definitely correct. He had a physical collapse only a few weeks before his death, probably these photos are of that period. In addition, a photo captures more details than a video and as a result some old age signs disappear.
Thanks you for these photos of this amazing man. The November photo is one of those to which I referred. The eyeglasses also contribute to one's appearing older I guess.
Naja, und das Genie war offensichtlich so gehemmt, dass es trotz der grossem physischen Nähe zum eigentlich sehr sympathischen Interviewer nicht einen einzigen Augenkontakt gibt..
@@historischeaufnahmen2177 Yes, I noticed the deliberate avoidance of eye contact too. It takes nothing away from the greatness of his music to admit that he saw his US contacts purely as tools to exploit in advancing his fame, and that he despised ALL Americans -- especially his so-called "students at Yale," with whom he engaged in a cruel cat-and-mouse game. It's all right there in this one rare clip, especially the final second of continued lack of eye contact.
one of the greatest composers of all time, highly underrated!
I concur ☝🏻

@@apchsiri1156 So I have read. It’s a real shame
Heart-warming to watch our father interview Hindemith over fifty years ago, this day before Father's Day 2017. What a gift!
@JF Raven hey could u send me a private message please ?
HIndemith is a hero to me. What a treat to hear his voice.
A great theorist and instructor and writer in music.

Only nine months before his death! Love all his music, especially Sinfonia Serena, which I first heard in 1973 on a record conducted by him.
Interviewed just 8 months before he died!
I would love to listen to Paul Hindemith on JRE
Love this
master！👍
The video quality is as if it was yesterday. Better than most HD cams.
I agree with you!

Thanks Edward for watching!
Armer Hindemith, wie er sich mit Blödian vorlieb machen musste. . .
