A musical portrait of a master guitar-maker of the 19th century.
The last two decades have seen a richly merited revival of interest in the music of Erwin Schulhoff, one of the German-Jewish composers who fell victim to the Nazis’ rise to power in the 1930s and whose work was soon declared Entartete Musik; he was deported to a concentration camp in Bavaria in the winter of 1941 and died there of tuberculosis nine months later, not yet 50 years old.
By then Schulhoff had earned a considerable reputation in his native Prague and beyond, with a catalogue of large, ambitiously programmatic symphonies, daring jazz-age chamber
music and an opulent, Expressionist opera, Flammen, first staged in Brno in 1932. The Suite and First Sonata violin and piano are much earlier works, less harmonically adventurous and more indebted to the examples of Debussy, Richard Strauss and his teacher Max Reger, effusive and lyrical in expression.
