Admittedly, Franz Schubert's biography offers little in the way of great adventures, love affairs, glamour and long journeys. Jörg Handstein in what is now his tenth audio biography in the successful BR-KLASSIK series - devotes himself here to a composer with an altogether quieter life. Schubert's story still remains an exciting one: no famous composer before him had ever chosen to lead a life in which his musical activities were supported solely by a private circle of friends. This did not succeed without resistance, setbacks, great disappointments and personal tragedies. Schubert's unhappiness in love, his terrible illness, and probably also his early death were, ultimately, the price he paid for this unconventional life. He bravely stood his ground, however, countering an age of cultural and political paralysis with his great and bold art. In this audio biography, Schuberts creative path can be followed in around 130 musical examples something impossible in any biography in book form.

This new CD from BR-KLASSIK features the ballet music 'Carmen Suite', based on the famous melodies from George Bizet's eponymous opera and masterfully arranged and adapted by the composer Rodion Shchedrin in 1968, and Ottorino Respighi's well-known symphonic poem 'Pini di Roma' (The Pines of Rome), written in 1924. The name of the Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin is primarily associated in the West with his 'Carmen Suite', which has been highly popular ever since its first performance.

The Munich Radio Orchestra (German: Münchener Rundfunkorchester) is associated with Germany's Bavarian Radio public broadcaster, but should not be confused with the network's other orchestra, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks), which is devoted to mainstream symphonic repertory.

Michael Jarys "Ich weiß, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh’n“ und "Davon geht die Welt nicht unter“, Theo Mackebens "Du hast Glück bei den Frau’n, Bel Ami!“, Lothar Brühnes "Ich brech’ die Herzen der stolzesten Frau’n“ oder Friedrich Schröders "Ich tanze mit dir in den Himmel hinein“ sind einige jener auch heute noch gern gehörten Tonfilmschlager, die von den Nationalsozialisten, wenn nicht bereits in Auftrag gegeben, so doch später auf perfide Weise zu Propagandazwecken missbraucht worden sind. Vokabeln wie "Propaganda-“ oder "Durchhaltefilm“ begleiten das auf diesem Album dargebotene Programm als hässliche Kehrseite mitunter genialer musikalischer Schöpfungen. Einzelne der Titel hat das 1952 gegründete Münchner Rundfunkorchester im Lauf seines 70jährigen Bestehens immer wieder gespielt, in ganz unterschiedlichen Besetzungen und Arrangements. Das vorliegende Album wurde im Oktober 2021 als Studioaufnahme produziert.

For the Munich TATORT episode 'Dreams, the 87th criminal case for police commissioners Ivo Batic (Miroslav Nemec) and Franz Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl), directed by Boris Kunz ('Hindafing'), the orchestral film music was commissioned from the Munich composer David Reichelt (*1986), who has already won the German Film Music Award twice. The music was recorded by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester conducted by Andreas Kowalewitz (in the TV film itself, of course, we see principal conductor Ivan Repušić at the helm of the orchestra). BR-KLASSIK is now releasing the soundtrack fans!

Few performers are more familiar with the musical language of the French composer Olivier Messiaen than the American conductor Kent Nagano. Nagano has had Messiaen's orchestral works and oratorios in his program for several decades now, and he also participated in the world premiere of Saint François d'Assise, Messiaen's only opera. During the year 1982 Nagano spent his time with Messiaen in Paris, where not only an artistic relationship but also a close personal one developed between the two musicians.
