) | Label: OEHMS CLASSICS Catalog: OC 1847 Format: COMPACT DISC Kühmeier, Genia; Nylund, Camilla; Albrecht, Hansjörg; Merbeth, Ricarda; Konzerthausorchester BerlinWalter Braunfels regarded himself as a late-romantic, traditional composer in succession to Berlioz, Wagner and Bruckner. During the period of the Thrid Reich, he was dismissed from his positions as a "half Jew" and his works were banned from performance. After the Second World War, representatives of the musical avant-garde found Braunfel's style no longer contemporary, which is why he gradually became forgotten. His entire oeuvre has been enjoying a wonderful Renaissance since the 1990's, however, and is now being enthusiastically rediscovered by the international musical world.  Price: $28.98 |
