Nobilissima visione

Album by Paul Hindemith & Seattle Symphony & Gerard Schwarz

Nobilissima visione is a ballet score by Paul Hindemith, composed in 1938. The piece employs rich orchestral colours, contrapuntal textures and modal-inspired melodies to depict episodes related to St Francis and reflects Hindemith's late-1930s engagement with theatrical and dance forms within his neoclassical compositional language.
First released: 1st July 2014
