Description
Together with soprano Estelle Lefort, Vlaams Radiokoor bring a diverse program from cabaret inspired music to the big classical genre of the symphony.
In 1938, at the Reichsmusiktage in Dusseldorf, the Nazi regime opened an exhibition around music with the theme: 'Entartete Musik'. They collected examples of what they considered degenerate music: jazz or 'Nigger-Musik', the atonal expressions of the Second Viennese School, music by Jewish composers, 'music bolshevism'.
Gustav Mahler, Kurt Weill, Hanns Eisler, Mischa Spoliansky; these were just a few names on the long list of depraved composers. Numerous musicians and composers felt the pinch in the early 1930s and promptly emigrated abroad, where they often had to start again from scratch. Others were deported to one of the concentration camps or, if they were more 'lucky', to the model ghetto in Theresienstadt.
While there, music offered a welcome distraction from the harsh conditions and continuous fear. Most of them eventually perished, and all were almost forgotten after the war. Now they sound again...
"Soprano Estelle Lefort's vocal inflections – by turns playful, languid and haunted – are perfect." - BBC Music Magazine (5 STARS)
"the standard of the performances across this disc is wonderfully high. The choral or solo singing is stunningly beautiful, the instrumental playing is alert and characterful and this is all backed up by top drawer engineering and production." - MusicWeb International
