Description<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFor me his setting was what performance would be for a play: the test. He reads with enormous exactitude<\/strong>,\u201d wrote Bertolt Brecht<\/strong> in his work diary on July 26, 1942, thus paying Hanns Eisler<\/strong> a subtle compliment that he never lavished on any other of his musical fellow-travellers. At this time, the two artists were in Hollywood, having emigrated to California to escape the Nazis. Eisler received more and more commissions to earn a living: during his ten-year exile in the USA, he was twice nominated for Oscar film music awards. Besides the bread-and-butter commissions, this period also saw him write the \u201cHollywood Songbook\u201d, which includes 28 Brecht settings as well as the H\u00f6lderlin Fragments, thus encompassing a vast range of musical and literary styles. The present recording covers the cosmos of Eisler’s song art in all its scope. The life of the French singer Barbara<\/strong> was also heavily influenced by the political circumstances of the 20th century: there is no “original” piano accompaniment by Barbara on the CD. The arrangements that Daniel Fueter has made for a scenic performance replace in their stylistic range and colorfulness more than a companion volume.<\/p>\n
