Straesser, Ewald (1867-1933)

Description:

Re-presented by the BEROLINA Ensemble Forgotten composer Ewald Strasser Germany, Ewald Strasser was born in Blüscheid, near Cologne. Today his compositions are completely forgotten, but at the time they were highly regarded, with Furtwängler, Arbendroth, Mengelberg, Nikisch, and Pfitzner featuring his works, and pianist Ellie Nye including them in her concert programs. Although his works were widely acclaimed, he himself did not put any political agenda into them, but people became suspicious, and moreover, he was not a man who liked to appear in public, so they gradually stopped being performed. This time, the BEROLINA Ensemble's reintroduction of Strasser's works will bring them back into the public eye, and they will be reevaluated. King International
