Download or read book Music of Exile written by Michael Haas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to a composer when persecution and exile means their true music no longer has an audience? In the 1930s, composers and musicians began to flee Hitler’s Germany to make new lives across the globe. The process of exile was complex: although some of their works were celebrated, these composers had lost their familiar cultures and were forced to navigate xenophobia as well as entirely different creative terrain. Others, far less fortunate, were in a kind of internal exile—composing under a ruthless dictatorship or in concentration camps and ghettos. Michael Haas sensitively records the experiences of this musical diaspora. Torn between cultures and traditions, these composers produced music that synthesized old and new worlds, some becoming core portions of today’s repertoire, some relegated to the desk drawer. Encompassing the musicians interned as enemy aliens in the United Kingdom, the brilliant Hollywood compositions of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and the Brecht-inspired theater music of Kurt Weill, Haas shows how these musicians shaped the twentieth-century soundscape—and offers a moving record of the incalculable effects of war on culture.

Download or read book Los m sicos de Hitler written by Pedro González Mira and published by Editorial Berenice. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que Europa quedara destrozada durante medio siglo por las dos grandes guerras no fue razón suficiente para que la música continuara alcanzando un formidable desarrollo. Alemania, una de las protagonistas esenciales de la contienda, prosiguió su glorioso camino iniciado con Bach y transitado luego por Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner... para desembocar, en pleno hitlerismo, en una nueva explosión creativa que rompió con una tradición que ya se había tensionado hasta el límite en las últimas creaciones de la etapa romántica: la armonía tradicional. Las dos figuras clave en esa dialéctica entre pasado y futuro, Richard Strauss y Arnold Schönberg, hijos no deseados pero muy queridos de Wagner, constituyen la base de este libro, que sin embargo no olvida que los nazis llegaron a otros países. A Francia y Hungría, por ejemplo, donde oficiaron Messiaen y Bartók, respectivamente. Figuras de culto, como la de Hans Pfitzner, o el gran listado que Hitler construyó con lo que sus servidores definieron como «músicos degenerados», forman parte de sus páginas, que también recalan en una parte de los intérpretes de primera línea que protagonizaron la vida musical en el área alemana durante el periodo nazi: los directores de orquesta que vivieron en sus propias carnes la debacle nacionalsocialista. De alguna manera, es un libro que complementa a Los músicos de Stalin, la anterior publicación del autor. La suma de ambos revela una buena parte de la grandeza musical del siglo XX. «Desde que Pedro González Mira abandonó el trabajo de crítico desde su revista del alma, la centenaria Ritmo, se ha dedicado a regalarnos libros que resumen todas sus experiencias musicales. En este, una vez más se recogen textos que él califica de divulgativos pero que van mucho más allá, porque no solo atesoran una gran cantidad de información; resultan entretenidos; se leen con placer». Rosa Torres-Pardo, pianista y Premio Nacional de Música.

Download or read book Leningrad Siege and Symphony written by Brian Moynahan and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “gripping story” of a Nazi blockade, a Russian composer, and a ragtag band of musicians who fought to keep up a besieged city’s morale (The New York Times Book Review). For 872 days during World War II, the German Army encircled the city of Leningrad—modern-day St. Petersburg—in a military operation that would cripple the former capital and major Soviet industrial center. Palaces were looted and destroyed. Schools and hospitals were bombarded. Famine raged and millions died, soldiers and innocent civilians alike. Against the backdrop of this catastrophe, historian Brian Moynahan tells the story of Dmitri Shostakovich, whose Seventh Symphony was first performed during the siege and became a symbol of defiance in the face of fascist brutality. Titled “Leningrad” in honor of the city and its people, the work premiered on August 9, 1942—with musicians scrounged from frontline units and military bands, because only twenty of the orchestra’s hundred members had survived. With this compelling human story of art and culture surviving amid chaos and violence, Leningrad: Siege and Symphony “brings new depth and drama to a key historical moment” (Booklist, starred review), in “a narrative that is by turns painful, poignant and inspiring” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). “He reaches into the guts of the city to extract some humanity from the blood and darkness, and at its best Leningrad captures the heartbreak, agony and small salvations in both death and survival . . . Moynahan’s descriptions of the battlefield, which also draw from the diaries of the cold, lice-ridden, hungry combatants, are haunting.” —The Washington Post

Book excerpt: Travelers in the Third Reich is an extraordinary history of the rise of the Nazis based on fascinating first-hand accounts, drawing together a multitude of voices and stories, including politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scholars, athletes, poets, fascists, artists, tourists, and even celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett.
