Movie Reviews of Hindemith - Cardillac
Movie Review: Getting It
Summary: 4 Stars
Hindemith is famous mostly as a pedagog. His compositions are not that popular. This is a pity. I think you need a little patience to "get it".
In the eighties my wife and I got to perform in a production of Cardillac at Cinnabar Opera Theater in Petaluma California. She played the soprano lead while I played the evil Magistrate. I got the part because I was the only bass they could find who could sing the high F# in the big aria. Hindemith's writing isn't very grateful to the voice or respectfull of the standard vocal conventions.
The first time we did this opera I thought the music was pure dreck. It sounded like nothing at all to me. It seemed arbitrary and noisy. However the piece held the stage well dramatically and was popular with the Northern California artsy community.
Two years later it was mounted again and my wife and I again sang. However this time the music was wonderful and profound. The cast and orchestra was nearly the same but something somehow had clicked in my head. Suddenly I "got it". What had been just noise had suddenly become music.
A few years later my wife and I were at the SF Symphony and a major Hindemith piece was played. The audience was cool and reserved - they didn't like it very much at all. But my wife and I looked at each other in that moment of joint recognition and screamed our approval. We were the only ones, it seemed, in the hall that "got it".
