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.
