Paul Hindemith, Thornton Wilder, American Symphony Orchestra, Leon Botstein - The Long Christmas Dinner
Review by katherine miller
The Long Christmas Dinner, a collaboration between composer Paul Hindemith and playwright Thornton Wilder, is a delightful album that captures the essence of the holiday season. The American Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Leon Botstein, delivers a stirring performance that brings the music to life.
The album features a suite of orchestral pieces that were inspired by Wilder's play of the same name. The music is rich and evocative, with lush arrangements that capture the spirit of the season. The orchestra's performance is flawless, and Botstein's direction keeps the music flowing smoothly from one piece to the next.
