This is music from the score that one of the giants of 20th century music, Paul Hindemith, wrote for
Arnold Fanck's silent mountain melodrama Im Kampf mit dem Berge (1921). Hindemith extracted
material from the score and published it as In Sturm und Eis, which is actually the title of the
first part of Fanck's two-part epic. This film has been presumed lost for decades. The original negative was
destroyed in 1940 to prepare a shorter version of this film for a sound release. In the seventies a print of
the silent version was discovered in an archive in Moscow. Recently, silent film expert Frank Strobel has
reconstructed the complete score for screenings of the film, but this has not yet been released on disc.
Dr. Arnold Fanck was one of the earliest promoters of Germany's popular mountain films. Fanck was a
professional geologist and mountain climber himself, and, following WW I, he began a series of fictional
and documentary films about mountain climbing. These films were often made in collaboration with others
including Sepp, Allgeier, Riefenstahl, and Pabst. Another one of his important silent films was
Der heilige Berg (The Holy Mountain), scored by Edmund Meisel (which I posted before).
The present version was released as part of RCA's uneven series "100 Years of Film Music" - it
was recorded in the original version for "Salonorchester" (roughly, chamber orchestra).
BTW, the CD is 77:16 minutes, not 67:16 as indicated on the cover.
Music Composed by
Paul Hindemith
Played by the
Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
Conducted by
Dennis Russell Davies
A theorist, teacher, violist, conductor, and composer who is regarded by many as the foremost German composer
of his generation, Paul Hindemith was one of the most central figures in music between the First and Second World
Wars. Born outside of Frankfurt, Hindemith moved with his family to the city in 1902. It was here, in 1904, that Hindemith
began taking violin lessons. By 1908, Hindemith became a student of Adolf Rebner, a teacher at the Hoch Conservatory in
Frankfurt, who arranged for Hindemith to be awarded a free place at the conservatory the following year. Although he had
long been composing, Hindemith, in addition to continuing his study of the violin, began to study composition formally.
However, he was forced to leave the conservatory in 1917 when he was called up for military service. He spent most of
his service as a member of a regimental band stationed about 3 kilometers from the front line.
After returning from the war, Hindemith again took to the concert stage, having switched to viola in 1919. In 1923 he
was invited to join the administrative committee of the Donaueschingen Festival, a group over which he exerted an
ever increasing amount of control; programming works of such composers as Schoenberg and Webern. The next year
he married Gertrud Rottenberg, the daughter of the conductor of the Frankfurt Opera Orchestra, an ensemble in
which Hindemith had been playing. In 1927 he received an appointment as professor of composition at the Hochschule
f�r Musik in Berlin. In addition to maintaining an active performing career, Hindemith soon developed a strong interest
in teaching, and even took on an evening class at the Volksmusikschule NeuKolln.
Early in 1934, the Nazi party began a campaign to discredit Hindemith, which culminated in a boycott of the composer's
works announced by the Kulturgemeinde in November of that year. In January 1935, Hindemith was given a six-month
leave from the Hochschule. However, as the boycott of his music was not endorsed by the music division of the Nazi
party until 1937, Hindemith was allowed not only to return to teaching, but also to undertake a series of concert
tours abroad, to have his music published, and to enter into an agreement with the government of Turkey to build
an organized musical life in that country. However, in 1937, Hindemith left Germany for Switzerland, and in 1940
came to the U.S.
After a series of lecture and teaching engagements which had been arranged by friends, Hindemith took a position
at Yale, teaching composition and, from 1945 to 1953, conducting the Collegium Musicum. In 1946, Hindemith
became an American citizen. In 1951 he accepted a position at the University of Zurich and, after retiring from
Yale in 1953, took up permanent residence in Switzerland. After retiring from his post in Zurich, in 1955, he
became more active as a conductor. In November 1963, he was taken ill and transferred to a hospital in Frankfurt,
where he died of acute pancreatitis.
