The new Joachim Wollenweber Edition refocuses the public’s attention on forgotten composers from the Baroque period all the way into the modern age. New sheet music editions are created in collaboration with top artists, musicologists and radio stations, with the recordings being published at the same time. The eighth release in this TYXart chamber music series is dedicated to the Venetian composer Sandro Blumenthal (1874 – 1919), a versatile wanderer between the establishment and the avant-garde of the German musical and cultural landscape around the turn from the 19th to the 20th century. After a promising start as a composer of serious music, he turned to the cabaret and became an important singer of cabaret lieder. Internationally well-known artists present these almost forgotten chamber music gems for the first time.
