Kaun – Symphony No. 3, Symphonic poems: Minnehaha, Hiawatha

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin
Jonathan Stockhammer, conductor

“Balanced tempi which are not mechanically maintained, subtle rubati in appropriate places, a lyrical approach, careful realisation of articulation and a consistently well-balanced orchestral sound testify to the fact that Hugo Kaun has found a capable and prudent advocate in Jonathan Stockhammer.” – Klassik Heute

“The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin delivers an absolute tour de force in these lush orchestral movements under the direction of the American conductor Jonathan Stockhammer. The sound is very uniform and rounded, sometimes powerful, sometimes soft and delicate, the development always very natural.” – Klassik.com
