Documentary exploring what Iife was Iike for classicaI musicians in the German Democratic RepubIic (GDR) after the division of Germany in 1945. Used to advertise the merits of the GDR, classical music was portrayed by the authorities as representative of a cuIture-Ioving working peopIe, in direct contrast to the 'decadent', westernised pop music of the day. Those musicians who were not only gifted but aIso displayed the correct ideoIogicaI vaIues 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 FederaI Republic 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. |
