Markus Poschner The Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, in co-production with RSI - Radiotelevisione svizzera di lingua italiana, signs with the ECM New Series label a new, original CD dedicated to two of the most important German authors of the 20th century. The program, recorded at the Auditorio RSI in Lugano, features the Concerto for piano and string orchestra by. Alfred Schnittke to the Symphony Mathis the Painter Hey there! Four Temperaments I am sorry, but "di" is not a complete text or sentence. Please provide more context or text for translation. Paul Hindemith, with the refined pianist Anna Gourari, already the protagonist of three solo recordings for ECM New Series, is here featured as a soloist with the orchestra.

The inspired collaboration between the soloist, conductor, and orchestra results in an intense and nuanced interpretation, highlighting both the demanding counterpoint of Hindemith's repertoire, tending towards neoclassicism, and the polystylistic structure of Schnittke's concerto, in which, as the composer himself observed, "everything - unable to establish a balance between 'sun' and 'storm clouds' - ultimately shatters into a thousand pieces."

The Orchestra della Svizzera italiana is particularly known for its Symphony. Mathis the Painter, based as known on three parts of the Isenheim Altarpiece painted by Matthias Grünewald. Hindemith wanted to accurately translate into music Grünewald's visual language, later integrating the symphony into the work. Mathis the Painter, first presented in 1938.

The CD, produced by Manfred Eicher for ECM New Series, is accompanied by a booklet (28 pages in German and English) with texts by musicologist Roman Brotbeck.
The recording was produced by the Tonmeister Wolfgang Müller for RSI - Swiss Radio and Television in Italian language and was made in December 2021 at the Stelio Molo RSI Auditorium in Lugano.

The CD is available for online purchase for ECM label types on the website. www.ecmrecords.com or for direct purchase at the LAC Shop in Lugano.
