New Zealand Symphony Orchestra performs work by a long forgotten German Jewish refugee composer. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra gives the first performance of a symphonic movement written by Richard Fuchs in 1942 in its "Made in New Zealand" concert in Wellington. Richard Fuchs (1887-1947), architect and composer, came to New Zealand from Karlsruhe, Germany in 1939 after his release from Dachau. He brought with him symphonies, chamber music, songs and large-scale works for choir, orchestra and soloists, including Vom judischen Schiksal, a prizewinning work in the choral category in a competition sponsored by the Judischen Kulturbund. It is a setting of four poems, three by Karl Wolfskehl and one by Susskind von Trimberg. Its performance was stopped by the Nazi authorities and has never been played. Fuchs continued to compose in New Zealand to the end of his life. |
