I haven't listened to Hindemith in a long time, I must blow the diust off my EMI CDs. I only have the one 3 CD set with Blomstedt conducting the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in his orchestral works
The Blomstedt/SFO is a great set of recordings including a most fine Mathis der Mahler This CPO disc makes a good companion since as I mentioned, these works are not as frequently recorded.

Just to add to the current Dvorak conversation I listened to this one very recently....
It is not a very common work but I really like its somewhat wistful and quirky slow movement.

Those performances are on CD too, Hindemith was not a bad conductor.
Giving the Blomstedt/San Francisco discs that Seán mentioned a whirl.

I have always been surprised by how infrequently performed and recorded, his PC appears to be. Of course I'm no expert, but I have always found this disk to be rather pleasureable:

A brace of Vaughan Williams....
It is interesting to hear the strong influence of Holst (Neptune) in the Sinfonia Antartica as it is something that we discussed recently in the "Planets" thread.
