makes you want to fight fascism, March 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Leider der Arbeiterklasse - Lieder Aus Dem Spanischen Bügerkrieg (Audio CD)
a sample of socialist art from the thirties about the fight against capitalism and fascism. most songs give an idea of the spanish civilwar of 1936. to people who listens to it for the first time may think it sounds like fascist music, but listen to the lyrics!!! play loud and sing along:arbeitern, bauern, nehmt die geweren, neht die geweren zu hand.

Great Collection of a classic interpreter of Eisler, Dessau, May 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Leider der Arbeiterklasse - Lieder Aus Dem Spanischen Bügerkrieg (Audio CD)
Ernst Busch is a singer of the German Left who was associated with avant-garde composers such as Hans Eisler and Paul Dessau, and other exponents of German Expressionist Opera. This CD also contains many songs from the Spanish Civil War which are virtually impossible to find elsewhere. Busch was later captured by the invading Germans while he was in exile and he spent many years in prison until liberated by the advancing Russians. A very good compilation of some little-known modernist music.
