about

"Czech native Viktor Ullmann was another of the Eastern European Jewish composers pegged by the Nazi for composing ‘degenerate music’ and eventually murdered by them after a stint composing music and organizing concerts at the ‘showplace’ cultural concentration camp Terezín. All these works - and a dozen others - were composed under those terrible conditions. His style is similar to Mahler and pre-serial Schönberg, though the Presto movement of the string quartet goes dissonantly 12-tone. The 22-minute Seventh Sonata quotes a Hebrew folksong, Lutheran hymn and Czech Hussite chorale.” (John Sunier, Audiophile Audition)

Awards: 10 by Répertoire, 5 by Diapason, Recommanded by Classica, Audiophile Audition, BBC Music Magazine, Klassik.com
