Some Hindemith I like a lot; other works leave me a bit cold.
I'm on the cold side with this, but it's the first hearing, so I might get to like/appreciate it more next time.
The Cello Concerto's gorgeous slow movement was of course the source for the Walton Hindemith Variations....

Beethoven
Kreutzer Sonata (2nd movement), Efrem Zimbalist (violin) and Harold Bauer
I came across the name Zimbalist a few days ago in connection with another musician. I thought it rang bells. However, I wasn't aware of a Zimbalist musician, and as the name seems quite unusual I looked it up. It became clear that the Zimbalist I was aware of was in 77 Sunset Strip, and Zimbalist the violinist was his father. It seems he was considered to be at the top of his profession in the first half of the 20th Century. His wife Alma founded the Curtis Institute, and he became its director.
I'm not a violinist, but I gather some are approving of his style and technique, and also that in the video both players play without music.
