 Bernd Alois Zimmermann Biography / Biography of Bernd Alois Zimmermann Biography
The German composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann (1918-1970) was one of the few musicians to remain independent of various 20th-century musical doctrines and to establish an individual style of composition.
Zimmermann's Catholic education and Christian faith were influential in his compositions and led to the use of ecclesiastical references and concepts in his music.
Zimmermann's methods of quotation developed into a form of collage, that technique used in the visual arts whereby a seemingly random group of images and objects is combined.

 Biography - Bernd Alois Zimmermann (Bio 1476)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
One of the most important German composers to emerge during the post-World War II era, Bernd Alois Zimmermann was born in the outskirts of Cologne in 1918.
Discharged in 1942, Zimmermann resumed his academic training with Jarnach and Lemacher, and between 1948 and 1950 enrolled in the summer courses at Darmstadt.
Zimmermann's music frequently borders on unplayability, and it is only through the exceptional gifts of a handful of players and conductors (including cellist Siegfried Palm and conductor Hans Rosbaud) that his powerful musical creations escaped oblivion.

 Zimmermann, Bernd Alois (1918 - 1970)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Zimmermann occupies a special position in German music of the twentieth century, his musical language and techniques relatively original.
For much of his career he taught at the Cologne Musikhochschule, drawing, in his music, on his own wide cultural background and his own roots in Catholic teaching and tradition.
Zimmermann’s orchestral works include concertos for violin, for oboe, for atrings and for orchestra, with Canto di speranza (Song of Hope) for cello and orchestra.

Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s discography is in a pretty good state, even if a classic recording like Palm and Kontarsky’s Intercomunicazione and the excellent CD in DG’s defunct 20
The highly expressive yet multi-perspectival writing for cello, Zimmermann’s favorite instrument, was to be developed even more radically in his Concerto for Cello, Intercomunicazione and the Cello Sonata (a quick recommendation of Thomas Demenga’s ECM CD containing this latter with the other solo sonatas for violin and viola is in order here, I feel).
And as with Zimmermann, you have the feeling of never stepping into the same river twice when you replay his best pieces.

 Amazon.com: Intercomunicazione [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
But the Zimmermann work Intercommicazione is marveous and very impressive, perhaps the second most solid work on the disc just behind the Xenakis.
Zimmermann here is wild, darkly serial, and yet with an arc and romantic sweep that many other serial composers lacked.
Also impressive is Aloys Kontarsky, another important Darmstadt performer (he and his brother are well known for premiering Stockhausen's Mantra.) Kontarsky knows this repertoire completely and makes an excellent foil for Palm.

Monologe resulting therefrom takes up the original material but develops it towards a different direction: Zimmermann‘s collage technique based on quotations extends over the entire musical setting so that it is not only Mozart (Piano Concerto in C major KV 467) who has his say but Beethoven, Messiaen and Bach as well.
