The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra audibly relish the challenges of each work and turn in immaculate performances of each, caught in superb sound by Mike Clements’ (Gramophone). This fine album from Martyn Brabbins and the BBC SS. llustrates in the Symphonic Metamorphosis and the Konzertmusik for brass and strings that Hindemith could be both warmly entertaining and bracingly intellectual at the same time’ (The Observer). Brabbins and co relish the contrast between abrasive, declaratory brass and singing, soaring strings in the Konzertmusi. he Mathis is entirely worthy of this oft-recorded masterpiece, but the Weber Metamorphosis is the highlight, one of Hindemith's most attractive works, delivered with rhythmic bite and colouristic flair’ (The Sunday Times).

In his Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber (1943), Hindemith pays homage to the important German early Romantic composer by adapting some of his music - works for piano duo and for the stage - as an orchestral suite. It's uncertain whether Hindemith preferred the plural or singular form of the word "metamophosis" in the title; whichever form of the word he intended, it is the key to the music. One of the work's highlights is the second movement, in which a "Chinese" flute theme twice receives the Bolero treatment. At first it is incessantly cycled in ever-richening instrumental textures, then the process repeats with "jazzy" syncopated rhythms. At times the percussion instruments take over, and different groups in the orchestra seem to go off in their own tempi, independent of the others.

Hindemith's title is as above.
