About Hanns Eisler
Hanns Eisler, born in Leipzig in 1898, was a prolific and versatile German-Austrian composer whose life and work were deeply intertwined with the political and cultural upheavals of the 20th century. A committed socialist and staunch anti-fascist, Eisler's music reflected his political beliefs, earning him both acclaim and persecution. He studied under Arnold Schoenberg, becoming one of his most talented pupils, and later collaborated extensively with Bertolt Brecht, creating powerful works that combined music and text to address social and political issues. Eisler's compositions span a wide range of genres, from film scores and political songs to orchestral and choral works, showcasing his remarkable versatility. His most enduring legacy is perhaps the national anthem of East Germany, a testament to his enduring influence. Despite facing exile and persecution, first from the Nazis and later from McCarthyism in the United States, Eisler's music remains a powerful expression of his unwavering commitment to his artistic and political ideals.
