RR22 - inclus booklet, manchette et certificat ex n° 111/250 - very RARE - featuring the Polish Radio & TV Symphony orchestra (Kazimierz Kord, cond); from a various artists compilation of new music from Eastern & Central Europe - "Aide Memoire"('Seven Nightmares From The Thousand Year Night') is a classic work. Commissioned by GDR Radio on the 30th Anniversary of Hitler's rise to power (to counter the nostalgia coming from West German TV and Radio at the time) it uses the treated voices of the old nazi leaders and other contemporary documentary materials in the construction of a musical and dramatic structure of hair-raising intensity. This is a major work, and unequivocally a political one. It comes with full English text and notes. 'Folk Music' is Breughelian chaos of decentred folk musics, about 100 melodies simultaneously played by autonomously organised sub- groups within the Polish Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra at the Warsaw Autumn 1972. 'Sonaty' is a concrete work based on a phonetic medieval text of nightingale songs. Two voices provide the source material, radically processed - Irony is Georg Katzer's "Aide Memoire", subtitled "Seven Nightmares from the 1000 year night" (1983). Constructed entirely from sounds associated with the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, Katzer stitches together fragments of speech, radio broadcasts and folk song into a brutally terrifying collage. If you thought musique concrete was emotionally barren, then Katzer has news from you. Stunning.- Ce disque est en parfait état - Il n'a été joué que peu de fois sur une très bonne platine munie d'une excellente cellule - This disc is perfect - It was played little time on very good turntable with excellent cartridge -
