Das Sinfonieorchester der Robert Schumann Schule - "Entartete Musik" Willkommen in Deutschland - ein Gedenkkonzert (LP)

"Entartete Musik" Willkommen in Deutschland - ein Gedenkkonzert is a powerful and historically significant album by Das Sinfonieorchester der Robert Schumann Schule. Released on October 30, 2015, this album is a tribute to the forgotten and suppressed music of the past, specifically focusing on the "Entartete Musik" (Degenerate Music) exhibition of 1938, which was a part of the Nazi regime's attempt to purge Germany of music they deemed un-German or Jewish.

The album features a diverse range of compositions, from classical suites to folk songs and opera excerpts, all of which were once labeled as "degenerate" by the Nazi regime. The tracklist includes pieces from renowned composers like Kurt Weill, Hanns Eisler, and Erwin Schulhoff, as well as traditional Jewish and German folk songs. The album also features a collaboration with the German punk rock band Die Toten Hosen, adding a unique blend of classical and punk elements.

The album is a testament to the resilience of music and the artists who created it, despite the oppressive regime of the time. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating diverse musical expressions. With a duration of over two hours, this album is a comprehensive exploration of a significant chapter in German music history. The album was released under the label JKP/WM Germany and is a valuable addition to any music enthusiast's collection.
