Composer

• Viktor Ullmann (1898 - 1944)

Notes & Reviews:

The composer Viktor Ullmann (1898-1944) could not have predicted, fortunately, that his name would come to be inseparably linked to the Theresienstadt (Terezin) ghetto. Not only does this recollection of a particularly black page in Western history continue to accompany his music, but the label "degenerate music" (Entartete Musik) is evoked time and again. In recent years, Ullmann's largely unknown body of work has once again attracted interest. Gerd Albrecht brings a real understanding and commitment to compositions of Viktor Ullmann in directing the Brussels Philharmonic (previously called Flemish Radio Orchestra), providing us with an interpretation of music which is both fascinating in its own right and of the highest quality, whilst being the more poignant for being composed when Ullmann was being held captive in one of the most infamous concentration camps established during the course of the Second World War.
