Karl Amadeus Hartmann (1905-1963) inaugurates our Artists in Conversation Edition. Sincerity, courage, consistency, and intensity were traits that marked Hartmann's life and work.
During the war, he buried the manuscripts of his compositions far underground, he had his son Richard safely stowed away with his grandparents and, from the earliest days of the Nazi régime, he began his inner emigration, withdrawing into himself and into his work room. From this earliest phase of his inner emigration date, among other works, the first string quartet, the first symphony and the symphonic poem Miserae. Hartmann was an exceptional phenomenon. He was unique in how his beliefs in justice, humanity and artistic truthfulness became more pronounced as he aged, or to paraphrase Oscar Wilde: Who thinks not of his ways, thinks not at all.
In the course of our work on this project, our interest in Karl Amadeus Hartmann the man grew and grew. We followed leads and discovered voice recordings, most of which have never been released on disc. These recordings illuminate, from various perspectives, Karl Amadeus Hartmann as an incorruptible and extraordinary artist and, as a result, allow a many-hued, multi-dimensional image of this "whitest of all German musicians" to emerge.
