‘Slightly the audience remember that I’m – as a descendant of writing tonal music – still alive and continue composing’ Walter Braunfels, 1946
Walter Braunfels is a composer whose music died twice: Once when the Nazis declared his music “degenerate art”. Then again when post-war Germany had little use for the various schools of tonal music; when the arbiters of taste considered any form of romantic music – almost the whole pre-war aesthetic – to be tainted. This already 9th release of Capriccio’s Braunfels Edition shows us also an open minded composer who experimented with Jazz elements in his Divertimento for radio-orchestra in 1929.
