Linie 2: Radiomusiken
Date & Time
Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 20:00The 1920s marked the beginning of radio broadcasting in Germany. The "Linie 2" program highlights this era of technological and musical innovation from nearly a century ago. Prominent composers created music for the radio without strict genre boundaries. Pavel Haas's "Radio Overture" and Hanns Eisler's piano song capture the significance of radio in different contexts. Works by Braunfels and Toch, commissioned by predecessors of WDR and SWR, also showcase the stylistic diversity of this period.A summary from original text in German | Read the original
