Oliver Triendl - Maria Bach - Chamber Works (2022) [Official Digital Download]

The 20th century experienced an unprecedented level of political, social and cultural disruption and radical change and upheaval that had a profound effect on the life and work of many artists. First of all there are those artists who were forced, in the 1930s, to emigrate on account of their race, religion or political beliefs, some of whom then returned after a conflict had ended. One example of this is the protracted harassment of artists in the Soviet Union as a result of Socialist Realism ideology, which after World War II was expanded to take in the eastern European countries behind the “Iron Curtain” and forced composers either to adhere – some might say dumb-down – to the Soviet standard (as did Latvian Janis Ivanovs, German Max Butting and Slovak Alexander Moyzes) or to go into exile (Czech Karel Husa, Hungarian György Ligeti).While such artists who went to the West were not subject to political guidelines in the same way, there was a degree of social pressure to conform that should not be underestimated. While modern music had been viewed with suspicion before 1933, after 1945 composers who adhered to the tonality principle were suspected of being old-fashioned or even reactionary.
