“Endangered Beauty” – under this title, Ernst Kovacic, who acts here as conductor of the Webern Chamber Philharmonic, focuses this time on the composers Joszef Koffler, Alexander Zemlinsky, Hans Gál and Josef Suk.
Not only does the program do justice to the title due to the rarity of its performances, the title also indicates that the diverse musical creativity of these composers came to an abrupt end during the Nazi regime. Both Gál and Zemlinsky fled from the Nazis into exile. Koffler was murdered by them.
Personalities like Ernst Kovacic and organizations like Exilarte are committed to bringing this music, an almost forgotten beauty, back into the minds of their listeners.
