KZ Musik: 24-CD Survey of Music in the Concentration Camps

posted 24 May 2006

The Italian ‘cultural association’ Musikstrasse announces the publication of the first two CDs in what will be a 24-disc survey – apparently exhaustive – of music composed in the concentration camps, to be published over the next three years. Musikstrasse describes the project thus:

KZ Musik is the most complete, updated CD-Encyclopedia containing the opera omnia (lyric, symphonic, chamber, instrumental, pianistic, vocal and choir music; cabaret, jazz, religious, folk and traditional, fragments or reconstructed after the War) composed from 1933 (when Dachau and Börgermoor Camps were opened) to 1945 by imprisoned, deported, murdered, survived musicians coming from any national, social and religious background in all imprisonment, transit, concentration, labour, extermination, military jails, POW and Stalags Camps of Third Reich, Italy, Japan, Republic of Salò, Vichy regime and other Axis countries, Great Britain, France, URSS and other Allies countries. KZ M usik is the result of a musicological work by the Italian pianist and conductor Francesco Lotoro.
