Forbidden Music
An Interview with me at the Jewish Music Institute’s Radio, based at London University. Selections featured in the interview are (in order): Franz Schreker’s opera ‘Die Gezeichneten’, followed by Jaromir Weinberger’s ‘Schwander the Bagpipe player’; Braunfel’s overture to ‘The Birds’ (Die Vögel); Kalman’s ‘Die Herzogin von Chicago’ – or ‘the Duchess of Chicago’; Erich Korngold’s ‘Pierrot’s Waltz’ from his opera ‘Die Tote Stadt’; Toch’s piano burlesque ‘Der Jongleur’; Egon Wellesz’s ‘Die Bakchantinnen’; Korngold’s ‘Das Wunder der Heliane’; Berthold Goldschmidt’s ‘Der Gewaltige Hahnrei’ ending with the opening of Pavel Haas’s ‘the Charlatan’
