| Description: | Achtung, Aufnahme!! is the Ebony Bandâ??s final album. Conductor and oboist Werner Herbers leaves
behind a legacy of discovering, archiving, performing and recording works of â??forgottenâ?? composers
from the interbellum era. Herbers and the Ebony Band have given over 200 concerts around the
world promoting the compositions of that time: often absurdist, jazz-influenced and dadaistic - styles
and influences that the Nazis labelled as â??perverseâ??. Just as they were gaining public popularity, many
composers of that time were banned, had to flee or were killed in concentration camps. The archive
of the Ebony Bandâ??s information and discovered ensemble works of over 125 composers will be
transferred to the Netherlands Music Institute in The Hague, where Herbersâ?? lifeâ??s work will remain
accessible for generations to come.
All the pieces on this recording were written around 1930, have rarely been heard live and are world
premiere recordings: Achtung, Aufnahme!! by Wilhelm Grosz, "Komödien aus Europa" by Walter
Goehr, and "Die vertauschten Manuskripte" by Mátyás Seiber. - WORKS BY WILHELM GROSZ, WALTER GOEHR, MATYAS SEIBER?Achtung, Aufnahme!! is the Ebony Band's final album.
