Abendroth

Today, Germany’s oldest radio orchestra presents itself as one of the liveliest and most innovative in Europe.

Alla luce dei moderni Matriarchal Studies, di cui Goettner-Abendroth è la fondatrice, il volume intende riscrivere la storia della civiltà umana da una prospettiva non-patriarcale. La ricerca, reinterpretando le scoperte archeologiche, offre una nuova visione sulla nascita delle società patriarcali e gerarchiche dell'Asia occidentale e dell'Europa succedute alle preesistenti comunità matriarcali ed egualitarie.

“It would be worth striving towards a style that can combine the highest level of craftsmanship, originality, and high quality with the greatest popularity and folksiness.” (Hanns Eisler). This next release on Capriccios Hanns-Eisler-Edition contains songs and chansons from all periods of Eisler’s creative life. It also contains some of the fascinating orchestral suites that he had, almost exclusively, cobbled together and adapted from film scores in the 1930s. Not the least, it contains the world premiere recording of his incidental music for Die letzte Nacht – the epilogue to Karl Kraus‘ monumental, satirical work The Last Days of Mankind. The mastermind behind this project was the fabulous composer, conductor, and chansonnier HK Gruber. HK Gruber is arguably one of the greatest Eisler-experts.
