Music reviews of Terez?n/Theresienstadt
Music Review: Very special
Rating: 5 Stars
One could write volumes about this very special disk. Of course, considerations arise apart from the music itself. But I have other collections of music from Theresienstadt, which, though moving as a result of the context, do not stand on their own. This disk does.
Von Otter is extraordinary - no trace of the diva here (actually, I have no reason she believes she is one despite her eminence in the musical world!)
Musically, this is an intriguing disk, invoking a number of musical styles from cabaret to chamber music, with hints of Berg. It does lead one to imagine other lives, in other circumstances and that is clearly the intention of the disk, entitled as it is.
No one else has mentioned it but for me the most extraordinarily moving track is Ade, kamerad, sung by Christian Gerhaher - a farewell to a comrade destined for transport to Poland...
I resist emotional blackmail - I feel this disk totally avoids it as much as it can - and is all the more powerful as a result. But it is clearly impossible to think that we can distance ourselves from the subject to appreciate this as simply music. However, it is a necessary disk.
Description of Terez?n/Theresienstadt
The Swedish mezzo-soprano, Anne Sofie von Otter, is known as one of the most versatile stars of her generation. She is always in search of new musical challenges, whether with the songs of C?cile Chaminade or of Benny Andersson. Here, von Otter has chosen a project with a serious and historically significant background. She interprets pieces written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp by a group of Jewish composers who were imprisoned there and yet managed to foster a rich cultural life even under the most extreme conditions. On this album, Anne Sofie von Otter is joined by one of the greatest lieder singers of today, Christian Gerhaher, and their longtime pianists Bengt Forsberg and Gerold Huber, respectively. Together they present songs by Viktor Ullmann, Hans Kr?sa, and so-called cabaret songs. DG's recently signed violinist Daniel Hope contributes the Sonata for Solo Violin by Erwin Schulhoff.General CDs
