Recensie

Hanns Eisler was een leerling van Schönberg en werkte later veelvuldig samen Brecht. In 1938 vertrok hij naar de Verenigde Staten, maar keerde na de Tweede Wereldoorlog terug naar Duitsland – Oost-Duitsland om precies te zijn, en voor dat land componeerde hij het volkslied. Onomstreden is Eisler derhalve allerminst, maar zijn Deutsche Symphonie en zijn liederen zijn ten onrechte in de vergetelheid geraakt. Daar brengt bariton Matthias Goerne nu verandering in met een indrukwekkende vertolking van de Ernste Gesänge. Ook de vertolking van de pianosonate opus 1 door Thomas Larcher verdient een groter publiek.

Ensemble Resonanz, Ingo Metzmacher

From 1920s Vienna and the Berlin of the Weimar Republic to emigration to the USA, then back to Vienna after the defeat of Nazism, to end his days in East Berlin: Hanns Eisler’s life was one long exile against the backcloth of the artistic, technical and political revolutions of the 20th century. Distance, irony and melancholy are the aesthetic corollaries that characterise the lieder presented here, their atmosphere often evoking the despair of those dark times. The early piano sonata gained the young Eisler an admiration that has never dimmed. Hanns Eisler was born in Leipzig on 6 July 1898 and went to school in Vienna. After two years as a common soldier in the First World War, he became a student of Arnold Schoenberg in 1919, dedicating his Sonata for Piano Op. 1 to his teacher in 1923. He moved to Berlin 1925, where he composed for workers' choruses and agitprop groups and collaborated with Brecht (Die Maßnahme, Die Mutter) from 1928. Eisler initially moved to Paris then London, before taking exile in America from 1938, where he created his most significant chamber music works. Alongside music for eight Hollywood pictures, Eisler also composed his 'Hollywood Songbook' to texts by Brecht, Hölderlin and others while in California.

In 1948, Eisler returned to Europe, initially to Vienna and Prague and ultimately to East Berlin. Although he wrote the National Anthem of the GDR to a text by Johannes R. Becher, conflict arose with GDR cultural bureaucracy when he published his libretto 'Johann Faustus' in late 1952. In 1959, he witnessed the premiere of his 'Deutsche Symphonie', mostly composed while in exile, at the State Opera Unter den Linden. He died on 6 September 1962 in East Berlin.
