about

This first CD in the Project Paloma series focuses on the
pre-war years, with five composers who were particularly
affected by the rising political tension in Europe. The
Ballade by the Swiss Frank Martin appeared right before
the outbreak of war in 1939, and is darkly dramatic, alternately brooding and turbulent. Blacher and Hindemith, both banned by the Nazis, produced two short sonatas in the dry, spare style typical of the Berlin avant-garde. In Vienna meanwhile, Frühling and Gál, both Jewish, continued to write in the Romantic idiom of an earlier time, its lush sweetness perhaps a refuge from the world around them.
