Till FECHNER sings DER KAISER VON ATLANTIS Viktor Ullmann (live)

When Viktor Ullmann was murdered on
October 16th 1944 at Auschwitz, the world lost
a musical genius. Pupil of Arnold Schoenberg,
Ullmann was an innovative, award winning
composer and music journalist. In September
1942 he was interned at the Terezin
concentration camp. During his two years
there, he composed some twenty works. His
most famous Terezin project was the one act
opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis. Created in 1944
during the last months of Ullmann's life, this
allegorical work is a powerful indictment
of evil -- a vision of a world without art or
humanity.

On accordera une mention spéciale à Till Fechner. Il a la dure responsabilité d'interpréter le double rôle de la mort et du haut parleur et, de ce fait, porte le spectacle sur ses épaules. Sa voix est ample et généreuse, très souple, le comédien convaincant.
