Musical performance in two parts

This event is in the past. You can no longer purchase this.

Description

If you look at light music records from the 1920s and 1930s, you will notice a high musical quality on the one hand, but on the other hand it is striking that most of the singers and orchestra leaders did not reappear either during or after the National Socialist era.

In addition to the change in musical taste and the clearer separation between popular and serious music, the fact that most of these artists were Jewish is the main reason why these artists were forgotten. Many emigrated as early as 1933 and were no longer able to gain a foothold as artists in exile.

On both dates(November 18 and November 25), “Stolperscheiben”, i.e. original shellac records, will be played on gramophones as acoustic windows into gallant and noble times. Through stories about the life and whereabouts of the artists, they are brought back to life and the recording and reproduction of the time is rediscovered.
