The finale of E4TT's multi-year exploration of rarely heard chamber works and movie arrangements by film composers who fled Europe in the 1930s and ‘40s, many going on to win multiple Academy Awards, creating the characteristic Hollywood sound that shaped what we hear at the movies today, also with music by Polish composers of that era. Featuring:
Songs from "Hollywood Liederbuch" by Austrian-American composer Hanns Eisler (1898-1962) to a text by Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)
"Sonatine transatlantique" (excerpts) and selected Mazurkas for solo piano by Polish composer Alexandre Tansman (1897-1986)
“Andante” for cello and piano by the amazingly inventive Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz (1909-1969)
Selected inventions for solo piano by Polish composer André Tchaikowsky (1935-1982)
Songs for soprano and piano by Austrian-American composer Eric Zeisl (1905-1959)
Romance from “Trois Pièces de Concert” for cello and piano by Auschwitz survivor Szymon Laks (1901-1983)
Preludes for solo cello by Polish-Russian composer Mieczysław Weinberg (1919-1996)
Kaleidoscope (1946, excerpts) for solo piano, by two-time Academy Award winner Hungarian-American composer Miklós Rózsa (1907-1995)
