"Songs to the guitar."

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Newly discovered songs and world premieres(!) from the intensive collaboration between Paul Dessau and Bertolt Brecht - initially created in exile in the USA, later in East Berlin.
The idea and the extensive research came from the Italian-German guitarist Gisbert Watty, in collaboration with Maxim Dessau, among others. Watty will perform this first complete edition of the Brecht-Dessau collaboration together with the Hamburg singer and performer Frauke Aulbert - a musical partnership that has existed for many years.

The evening will be complemented by readings by the renowned actress Barbara Nüsse. She will read texts from Brecht's original cycles that Paul Dessau did not set to music.

This special song recital is part of a series of concerts on ostracized composers. A historical framework is provided by reformed Judaism, which first gained a permanent foothold in Hamburg in 1817.
