This selection, which also includes one world première recording, shows the unexpected versatility of Hindemith, one of the major names in 20th Century music, as a composer. Paul Hindemith wrote a sonata for almost every instrument of the orchestra as well as solo concertos for some of them. Here he succeeded in optimally exploiting the qualities typical of each instrument both in sound and technique. Along with compositions for professional flutists, Hindemith also wrote works for children and adult amateurs in which the flute assumes a leading role. Among the highlights of this album include Hindemith’s Concerto for Woodwinds, Harp and Orchestra comissioned by the Columbia University of New York in 1948, as well as his fascinating Flute Sonata, which was premiered in Washington on 10 April 1937. Enthusiasm for Flute and Viola, which is here recorded for the first time, was written during a composition class at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Hindemith wrote the piece on the blackboard while his students looked on. Stathis Karapanos studied at the National Conservatory in Athens and the University of Music in Karlsruhe, which he completed with distinction in 2018. During his studies, he was often invited to perform with the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and others. During these years, he had teachers and mentors such as Mathieu Dufour, Vangelis Papathanassiou, Petra Müllejans, Henrick Wiese, Peter Lukas Graf, as well as Prof. Philippe Bernold at the Conservatoire National Superieur in Paris. After his graduation, he was appointed principal flute of the Athens State Symphony Orchestra. Since 2018, Stathis Karapanos has been invited to perform with renowned conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Christoph Eschenbach, Valery Gergiev and Yutaka Sado. As a chamber musician, he has performed with artists such as Vilde Frang, Matthias Goerne, Nicolas Altstaedt, Daniel Hope, Chen Reiss and Marisol Montalvo. Stathis Karapanos has received several awards for his musical skills, such as the ‘Bernstein Award’ of the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival (2020), the ‘Lotto Prize’ of the Rheingau Festival (2019), and numerous prizes at international competitions. Past and upcoming highlights include his London debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a tour with Maestro Yutaka Sado and the Tonkunstler Orchestra as well as several world premiere performances. ## Features English and German notes enclosed World première recording of Enthusiasm for flute and viola ## Buy or stream - [Buy](https://ondine.lnk.to/ODE14092OW) ## Related pages - [Paul Hindemith (1895-1963)](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/composers/hindemith-paul.md) - [Stathis Karapanos, flute](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/artists/karapanos-stathis.md) ## Also recommended - [Paul Hindemith: Kammermusik IV - V - VI - VII](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1357-2.md): Stephen Waarts, violin · Timothy Ridout, viola · Ziyu Shen, viola d´amore · Christian Schmitt, organ · Kronberg Academy Soloists · Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra · Christoph Eschenbach, conductor (ODE 1357-2, 2020) - [Paul Hindemith: Kammermusik I - II - III · Kleine Kammermusik](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1341-2.md): Christopher Park, piano · Xi Zhai, piano · Bruno Philippe, cello · Kronberg Academy Soloists · Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra · Christoph Eschenbach, conductor (ODE 1341-2, 2020) - [Paul Hindemith: Symphonie 'Mathis der Maler' · Symphonie in Es](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1275-2.md): NDR Sinfonieorchester · Christoph Eschenbach, conductor (ODE 1275-2, 2015) - [Paul Hindemith: Konzert für Violine und Orchester (1939) · Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by C.M. von Weber (1943) · Konzertmusik für Streichorchester und Blechbläser, op. 50 (1930)](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1214-2.md): Midori, violin · NDR Symphony Orchestra · Christoph Eschenbach, conductor (ODE 1214-2, 2013)
