The composer, whose family was severely affected by the Second World War and the Holocaust, considers his Anne Frank Suite as a “personal memorial diary and a reminder in view of the futility of warâ€. The score is prefaced by a quotation from Anne Frank: “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heartâ€, which has impressed the composer since his youth. His three-movement suite attempts to musically reflect the emotionality and thoughtfulness of the theme, which eludes all words. The piano is treated in a classical manner and creates the emotional space for the solo cello. Playing in a high register in a cantabilestyle over long passages, the cello also astounds with sound effects, harmonics and an expressive solo cadenza in the middle of the work.

Norbert Schultze: E- oder U-Komponist? Opern- oder Schlagerkomponist?Genau dazwischen, meint er selbst und beschreibt sein Leben, vom Geburtsort Braunschweig 1911 uber Studium in Koln und Munchen bis zum Studentenbrettel Die vier Nachrichter 1931, dem er unter dem Pseudonym Frank Norbert mit Unterbrechungen 4 Jahre lang angehort - zusammen mit Kurd E. Heyne, Bobby Todd und Helmut Kautner. Dazwischen ist er Opernkapellmeister in Heidelberg und Darmstadt, wird dort 1933 von den neuen Machthabern vertrieben, nach dem Erfolg seiner Oper Schwarzer Peter (Hamburg 1936) jedoch verwohnt und privilegiert, darf wahrend des Krieges Filmmusiken komponieren (u.a. Symphonie eines Lebens) und seine zweite Oper Das kalte Herz. 1945 drei Jahre Berufsverbot. Schreibt danach wieder Musik zu insgesamt 70 Filmen (u.a. 1958 Das Madchen Rosemarie), zu einem Musical Kapt'n Bay-Bay (Hamburg 1950), einer Operette Regen in Paris (Nurnberg 1956), der Fernseh-Oper Peter der dritte (ZDF 1966) und an die 100 Lieder und Chansons, von denen Lili Marleen (1938) ganz ohne sein Zutun weltweite Verbreitung findet. Schultze erzahlt uber seine Librettisten (Walter Lieck, Hans Leip, Fritz Grasshof u.a.) und seine wichtigsten Interpreten: Lale Andersen und Marlene Dietrich (Lili Marleen), Rudolf Schock (Ach, ich hab in meinem Herzen) und Hans Albers (Nimm mich mit, Kapitan, auf die Reise). Er berichtet aus sturmisch bewegter Zeit, fuhrt uns offen und ehrlich durch Hohen und Tiefen seines Lebens, ohne sich zu schonen und ohne eigene Fehler zu verschweigen.Ein hochinteressantes Dokument zur Zeitgeschichte, informativ, unterhaltsam und spannend.

“I admire in Frank Cox a musician who has three gifts at a high, virtuoso level all at the same time. Firstly, he is composer, secondly, he plays the cello, specialising in extremely complicated works and finally, he is a brilliant thinker and author. Thus my 'Hommage à Frank Cox' is written as a trio. The vibraphone functions like a typewriter being typed on, the piano represents the place where the composer looks for his sounds and the electric guitar represents the 'performance' of a soloist. Throughout large sections, the three musicians play independently of each other although temporally coordinated. The work is therefore not written in score form. Each player plays a part in the given tempi independently of the other two players. The piano, which plays all the time, gives the vibraphone and guitar their entrances. The course of events is interrupted by three cadenzas, and a finale concludes the work. The players play together here in score form. Morphologically speaking, my point of departure was the (very simple) sinus wave whose mathematical function I continually enriched through additives, so that the formal sections of all three instruments can be shaped like a large network of variations. They play the same music, even when striving for stubborn independence.†(Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf).

Pianist Paul Badura-Skoda and composer Frank Martin carried on a vivid exchange of letters from 1965 to 1974. In this period, Martin composed two major works for piano on behalf of Badura-Skoda: Second Piano Concerto (1968/69) and Fantaisie sur des rythmes flamenco (1973). The letters reproduced here show the close collaboration and mutual trust between composer and pianist, a musical piece of contemporary history. (In English, French, and German).
