Bernd Alois Zimmermann was rather a severe composer, not really fun music indeed. Like Ivo Malec, György Ligeti or Iannis Xenakis, he was not exactly sticking to the dogma of serialism, and worked with a beautiful sense of intesity and most of so called contemporary music is boring to my hears, Zimmermann music is definitively not boring.

Vinyl LP 1967, DE Reissue Used Vinyl Vinyl: Near Mint, Cover: Near Mint. Bernd Alois Zimmermann 20 March 1918 10 August 1970 was a German composer. He is perhaps best known for his opera Die Soldaten, which is regarded as one of the most important German operas of the 20th century, after those of Berg. As a result of his individual style, it is hard to label his music as avant-garde, serial or postmodern. His music employs a wide range of methods including the twelve-tone row and musical quotation. Die Soldaten as an opera itself is very interesting, the expressionisticserialist style will not be for everybody but it has a very powerful story and the music is clever and hits an emotional chord too. Like the Stuttgart performance, this production does everything right. Listen to music from Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Find the latest tracks, albums, and images from Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Play album.

Bernd Alois Zimmermann is an unhappy entry in the volumes of the lives of great composers, even in comparison with others of that often infelicitous breed. His magnum opus is certainly his opera, Die Soldaten, composed from 1957
