...Hindemith v. Hanfstängl. FurtwĠngler's biggest struggle came in 1934 when he was readying Paul Hindemith's opera Mat his der Maler for the Berlin Opera. Hindemith, a modernist, was a particular enemy of Hitler's famed musical adviser, Ernst ("Putzi") Hanfstangl. Orders came from Goring to postpone the performance indefinitely.

...Paul Hindemith: Mathis der Maler (Matthias the Painter) (Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy; Victor; 6 sides). One of the most sinewy of contemporary scores, by a onetime German Kulturbolschewik now living in the U.S. This symphonic suite, taken from Hindemith's opera about 16th-Century Painter Matthias Grünewald, describes three sections of Matthias' great Isenheim Altarpiece: Angelic Concert, Entomb ment, Temptation of St. Anthony.
