Der wilde Sound der 20er : 1923 (2023)

Deze CD wordt uitgebracht door BR-KLASSIK als onderdeel van het programma "100 Years of Broadcasting" en biedt actuele studio-opnames van april 2021 (Toch, Weill) en maart 2022 (Krenek) en een live-opname van de Münchener Philharmonie im Gasteig van maart 2017 (Bartók) met het Koor en Symfonieorkest van de Beierse Omroep. "On 29 October 1923, the first German public broadcast was made from an office block on Potsdamer Straße, Berlin. The very first programme heard was the “Berlin Radio Hour”. The four composers here “not only benefited from these developments, some of them also played an active role in shaping them”. They all would go on to write music specifically for radio. The performances are superb. The outstanding recording adds to the listening pleasure. This well-conceived programme of music, written with the possibilities of radio in the composer’s minds, perfectly reflects “the time between modernity and tradition, revolution and republic, jazz and dance music”."
