Hugo
Distler was one of the
most important German
composers of sacred and
secular choral music in
the first half of the
20th century. Born in
1908 and raised as an
orphan, he created a vast
oeuvre of choral and
instrumental music within
a few years. His
'Morike-Chorliederbuch'
forms part of the
standard repertoire of
major choirs throughout
the world. The meteoric
rise of Hugo Distler came
to an end in 1942 when
the 34-year-old committed
suicide. Soon after,
legends grew up around
him: Some stylized him as
a martyr to Nazi tyranny,
others alleged that he
had been involved in the
Nazi movement as an
accomplice. But what had
actually happened then?
Hugo Distler's daughter
Barbara has portrayed the
story of his life in an
authentic, yet very
captivating way.With an
introduction by Karl
Corino.
