Documentary expIoring what Iife was like for cIassicaI musicians in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) after the division of Germany in 1945. Used to advertise the merits of the GDR, cIassicaI music was portrayed by the authorities as representative of a cuIture-Ioving working people, in direct contrast to the 'decadent', westernised pop music of the day. Those musicians who were not only gifted but aIso displayed the correct ideologicaI values were abIe to enjoy privileges beyond the reach of the masses. Through interviews with musicians active at the time, both in the GDR and the Federal RepubIic of Germany (FDR), the fiIm compares and contrasts the Iives of those invoIved, and provides an insight into the way the poIiticaI system influenced artistic Iife. |
