    Hindemith’s Organ Concerto (actually his second) would be a great Proms coup – I think it would be the UK premiere – next year, marking the 60th anniversary of his death.

      Well said Bob. The Organ Concerto (on my one hearing of it, some time ago) is a very impressive piece, and I think also his final composition. Col

    Terrific Col, thank you so much. OK, a little rough around the edges in places perhaps, but Hindemith nails the spirit to a T …. both the humour and the poetry. Best. Rob.

      My pleasure Rob. It’s a YouTube surprise (I was searching for something else) and I was thinking of you when I posted it. Col
