"Combining Hindemith’s craftsmanship with the emotive aural sensuality of Richard Strauss, the expressive character of his works is as important to his style as harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements. His technique of motivic development places him among the Classical symphonic composers. In spite of its technical and aesthetic demands, his music is accessible and remains intelligible to a wide range of audiences." Jörg Riedlbauer in Grove Music Online.
