Ostracized, persecuted, forgotten: The life and afterlife of Karl Weigl is one of the most tragic chapters in recent music history. The Viennese composer was a great success in the 1920s – he was friends with Schönberg, his works were performed by Furtwängler, and he received numerous awards. Then the Nazis took power in Austria, and Weigl, who had Jewish roots, fled to the USA. At 57, he was forced to start all over again in a foreign country, but he couldn’t gain foothold and his compositions piled up in the drawer. This concert strives to re-establish his esteem and juxtaposes Weigls music with that of two other composers from his living environments Austria and the USA: Anton Webern, who explores the new territory of twelve-tone music with his Bagatelles, and Samuel Barber, whose piece »Dover Beach« marks the beginning of his career – and a successful one at that.

English

Verfemt, verfolgt, vergessen: Leben und Nachleben von Karl Weigl gehören zu den tragischsten Kapiteln der jüngeren Musikgeschichte. Der Wiener war einer der erfolgreichsten Komponisten der 1920er Jahre, befreundet mit Schönberg, aufgeführt von Furtwängler, vielfach preisgekrönt. Doch als die Nazis Österreich annektierten, floh Weigl, der jüdische Wurzeln hatte, in die USA. Mit 57 musste er in der Fremde nochmal von vorn anfangen, konnte jedoch nicht mehr wirklich Fuß fassen, komponierte für die Schublade. Das Konzert wagt eine Rehabilitierung und stellt seine Musik der von zwei anderen Komponisten aus Weigls Lebenswelten Österreich und USA gegenüber: Anton Webern, der mit seinen Bagatellen auf das Neuland der Zwölftonmusik vorstieß, und Samuel Barber, der mit »Dover Beach« seine Karriere startete – auch ein Aufbruch, in diesem Fall ein höchst erfolgreicher.
