The Royal Chapel and Paul Hindemith
Until the 1960s, the Royal Chapel played a concert every year in favor of the orchestra's own pension fund. Although the occasion might seem a little dry, it always led to memorable orchestral concerts that were highlights of Copenhagen's music life.
Hear in the Gold Concert two historical recordings from the 1950s with the Royal Chapel in top form, i.a. under the direction of the great German composer Paul Hindemith.
