The works of this production of the Hindemith Quintett – besides Hindemith they also play works by Blacher, Genzmer and Eisler – illustrate the search for a different kind of modernism, for a new music outside the closed circles of self-styled “avant-garde” artists, for the byways of the art of music, the exploration of which turns out to be an altogether worthwhile venture.
