This can probably be regarded as Hindemith鈥檚 most popular and accessible work. Based on tunes by the German composer Carl Maria von Weber, Hindemith composed a colourful and entertaining orchestral work, and thankfully didn鈥檛 mess around too much with the original material. That鈥檚 probably down to the high esteem Weber was continually held in classical circles since his death in 1826.
