Bye-bye Berlin


24 FLAC Discount

"Bye bye… or Berlin for ever?
Throughout the 1920s, all eyes were turned towards Berlin. Driven by a collective energy, artists of all persuasions (writers, painters, architects, filmmakers and composers) there established the principles of “New Objectivity”, which saw the city become the very epitome of modernity, at the same time as following in the footsteps of other great cities worldwide, not least New York, the birthplace of jazz. Life in Berlin was not the stuff of romance however: strikes, poverty, repression, the rise of Nazism… The post-war social context contributed to the craze that swept the capital for cabaret, a kind of safety valve that allowed for a moral and social release. It is this ephemeral, underground world of “Great Berlin” as depicted in The Blue Angel that Marion Rampal and the Quatuor Manfred invite us to rediscover here, in collaboration with saxophonist Raphaël Imbert: a liberal burst of freedom and humanity delivered with passion!"

"Au revoir... ou Berlin à jamais ?
Au cours des années 1920, tous les regards se tournent vers Berlin. Dans une énergie commune, des artistes de tous bords (écrivains, peintres, architectes, cinéastes, compositeurs...) y fondent les principes de cette “nouvelle objectivité” qui font d’elle l’essence même de la modernité, mais aussi l’écho des grandes villes du monde – New York en particulier, d’où provient le jazz. Pourtant la vie des berlinois n’est pas un roman : grève, misère, émigration, répression, montée du nazisme ; un contexte social d’après-guerre qui contribue à un engouement tout azimut pour le cabaret, soupape vitale où mœurs et critique sociale se libèrent. C’est cet univers éphémère et souterrain du Grand Berlin de l’Ange bleu, que Marion Rampal et le Quatuor Manfred nous invitent ici à redécouvrir, avec la complicité du saxophoniste Raphaël Imbert : un généreux souffle de liberté et d’humanité transmis avec passion !"
