This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book expands our understanding of music composed within Nazi concentration camps by shedding light on the unknown Polish composer Leon Kaczmarek, one of the most prolific yet overlooked composers persecuted by the Nazi regime. Imprisoned in the Dachau Concentration Camp from 1940 to 1945, Kaczmarek, in an unexpected turn of events, assumed the role of conductor for the German camp choir. Amidst unimaginable suffering, he composed an impressive array of works that have never previously been reconstructed, analyzed, or performed. His life and work, uncovered through extensive archival research, are unveiled here for the first time. In addition to expanding knowledge of this repertoire, this book restores Kaczmarek s historical significance, alongside that of his fellow prisoners, through the recovery and examination of their artistic works from the Nazi camps. 256 pp. Englisch.
