(1997) Place and time:
Jail Munchen-Stadelheim,
in the hour before the
execution on 22nd
February 1943 Characters:
Sophie Scholl (soprano) /
Hans Scholl (baritone or
tenor) >>Weisse Rose<<
(White Rose) was the name
of the resistance group
to which Hans and Sophie
Scholl belonged. Udo
Zimmermann's composition
is characterized by the
varying structure of its
scenes: dramatic,
visionary scenes, e.g.
the remembered wartime
experiences on the front,
Sophie's anxiety about
the removal of the
children and the wish to
see her parents one last
time, contrast with
contemplative monologues
that are intended to
provide insights into the
individual's particular
situation. The composer
interweaves into the
structure of the piece
dream sequences with
sudden bursts of anxiety
that are not triggered by
the execution that is
about to take place but
by the consequences of
one's own actions. The
result is a deliberate
fusion of the various
parts into one another.
More than 100 different
productions prove that
the topic is as important
as ever and that the work
is both artistically
rewarding and
practicable. Udo
Zimmermann About the
piece Two young people,
the siblings Sophie and
Hans Scholl, are in a
prison cell, one hour
before they are to be put
to death by their fascist
executioners. Their
christian convictions and
sense of responsibility
gave them the courage to
put up resistance,
resistance against the
lies, the contempt for
humanity and all human
values. Sophie and Hans
Scholl took their stand
in the full knowledge
that they were taking a
deadly risk. They would
simply not have been able
to live with their
feelings of shame had
they not grasped the
chance of fighting for
what they believed in,
even though it was a
dangerous thing to do.
Memories of past events,
doubts, hopes and fears,
justification of deeds
and an acceptance of
death, all these things
happen and move in, and
between, these two people
during this
representation of the
hour before death. The
orchestra provides a
psycho-physical shorthand
of their inner mental
state. Musical effects
and gestures search for
their identity in human
behaviour. The moments of
stillness and silence
provide moments of
musical tension, which
are just as powerful as
the eruptions of fear and
desperation. CDs:

Night-like
sounds are explored in a
variety of ways in the
three parts of this
wide-ranging scene.
Ornamental and playful,
the piano entwines with
the singing voice in the
first part. In the
recitative-like second
part, the grace and
grandeur of Seraphim
manifestations are
derived from the sound of
plucked piano strings.
The third part is
characterized by the
death knell: 'voidward
from the adoring waste of
souls'.

Of
all his symphonies,
Mahler gave the Fourth,
his favorite and problem
child, his most
particular attention. The
Heavenly Life, a
humoresque composed in
1892 for soprano and
piano, which he already
wanted to use in the
final movement of the
Third Symphony under the
title What the Child
Tells Me, ultimately
became the nucleus and
final movement of the
Fourth. Even after
publication in 1901,
Mahler kept repeatedly
refining the
orchestration. His maxim
not without my retouching
led to a whole series of
revised reprints. It is
probably no coincidence
that Mahler performed
especially the Fourth
Symphony in his last two
New York concerts in
February 1911, using this
opportunity to review
once again the score and
parts. This performance
material with his
retouching served as the
main source for the new
edition. Furthermore,
included for the first
time were corrections and
annotations in
conjunction with
performances of the
Fourth, which Mahler
entered into the scores
of conductors such as
Mengelberg and
Wickenhauser. PB 5664 has

Written in
1885, the eight songs
after texts by the now
little-known poet Hermann
von Gilm have a special
place in Richard Strauss'
corpus of Lieder. For the
first time, he composed
an entire set of songs on
texts by a single poet,
collecting them into one
opus that was also to
appear in print. Some of
the numbers in it, like
Zueignung, Die Nacht, and
Allerseelen, are among
the most popular Strauss
songs of all time, but
the entire cycle with its
well-planned structure is
also worthy of closer
examination and
performance. The aspiring
composer quite
consciously aligns
himself with the
tradition ranging from
Schubert to Wolf,
choosing the highly
Romantic subject of
unrequited love and
illuminating its most
diverse facets. The
primary source for the
Henle Urtext edition is
the first edition from
1887, which Strauss
furnished with a
dedication to the Royal
Bavarian chamber singer
Heinrich Vogl - a serious
invitation to today's
male singers not to leave
these wonderful Strauss
songs solely to female
singers!

Apar
t from the collection of
'Classical Manuscripts'
composed by Fritz
Kreisler (1875-1962) and
passed off by him as
transcriptions of
movements by old masters,
the violonist published
original works very
early. Kreisler himself
liked to play them as
encore pieces, sweetening
many a concert with such
pieces of 'musical
confectionary'. The most
famous miniatures are
undoubtedly 'Love's Joy'
and 'Love's Sorrow', two
'old Viennese
dance-tunes' in which
Kreisler evoked the
coffee-house atmosphere
of his home town with
wonderful melodies and
beguiling harmonies. The
miniatures are endearing,
lively and catchy, yet
with an elegiac air - but
full of charm and
elegance. These
magnificent salon pieces
are now available in an
arrangement for wind
quintet by Joachim
Linckelmann.
