 Karl Amadeus Hartmann
Hartmann's works represent a very difficult period in German and European history - perhaps one reason why it is only recently that German and European orchestras have found themselves able to embrace his works as one single musical community.
An inspired human being like Hartmann needs to be heard, especially as half a century ago he expressed in music the crimes of exploitation of science, the abuse of technology and the tragedy of war.
Hartmann's eight symphonies nevertheless seem the natural successors to those of Mahler and Bruckner: powerful, extended spans of music where the composer draws upon traditional classical structures but transforms them through his individual language, rich in colour, energy and vividly imagined emotional shadings, into a musico-philosophical statement unique to its time and place.

 Karl Amadeus Hartmann
Hartmann was born in 1905 and died in 1963, living in Munich all his life.
Hartmann's music is very expressive and stems from a well developed sense of pitch, coupled with romantic ideas of dynamics, texture and phrasing, and a stunning knowledge of the orchestra, particularly the percussion section.
This symphony is Hartmann's unidentified hommage to Stravinsky--listen to the opening of the second movement and notice its extremely close resemblance to the opening melodic figure of the Rite of Spring.

 Hartmann: Symphonic Hymns (1942)
In the course of over three decades since the death of Karl Amadeus Hartmann in 1963, the canons of the musical history of the twentieth century would be radically revised and extended through knowledge that had been revealed on the cultural conditions that prevailed in the middle third of the century.
The German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann (1905-1963), also famed as the visionary pioneering instigator of the Munich "Musica Viva" Concerts (1945-1963), was exemplary of the last of these categories.
At that time, the self-recognition of Hartmann as a Bekenntniskunstler was identified with that central body of his oeuvre, the already published and posthumously recovered works dating from the years 1933-1945, including the postwar revisions of these.

 Karl Amadeus Hartmann - One Good German
Hartmann is a figure unique in German music - the only composer to stay put and defy Hitler for the duration of the Third Reich.
Its premiere in Prague provoked a diplomatic protest and Hartmann was mildly harassed by Nazi bureaucrats.

 Karl Amadeus Hartmann - Classical music composer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Hartmann is the next significant symphonist in the Austro-German tradition after Mahler, and the last 30 years of his career can be viewed as primarily a dialogue with symphonic form, an attempt to establish whether it can have continuing relevance in the terrible times the composer was living through.
Hartmann was the son of one painter and the brother of another.

Hartmann's 8 symphonies are among the few pieces that make sense out of the expressionist ethos first propagated by Arnold Schoenberg in pieces like "Verklarte Nacht." While this music is intensely chromatic, Hartmann never assails us with unfocused dissonance for the sake of dissonance.
At that time, Hartmann removed all political contexts such as titles and dedications from them, undoubtedly wanting to move from a reputation earned as an Anti-Nazi composer to an apolitical reputation as a good or even great composer.
The 5th symphony shows Hartmann at his least Webernesque--even though it was written only 8 years after his studies with Webern, and is only his second piece after those studies.

 ArkivMusic | Hartmann: Symphonies No 1 & 6, Miserae / Botstein, Et Al
Karl Amadeus Hartmann is, along with Hindemith, the premier post-War German symphonist, and one of a tiny handful of contemporary German composers of any significance at all.
Most of his eight symphonies date from the late 1940s and early 1950s, though some are based on earlier works that the composer removed from circulation.
Hartmann refused to allow his music to be performed during the Nazi period, preferring to withdraw completely from German cultural life in protest against what he saw happening around him.

Out of the throng of German artists who played along with or actually supported the Nazi regime (Richard Strauss, Webern, Karajan, Hindemith for a time, and many others) came Karl Amadeus Hartmann, a strikingly original composer who refused to have his music published or performed for many years under the fascists.
After the war, Hartmann pulled the works he had written out of the drawer, revised them or reworked them into new works, and published them.
Hartmann is a good example: the technical mastery is here, and it's deeply felt music, but there are hardly any tunes (I'm sorry, but real music, no matter how craggy anduncompromising, needs tunes), and in any case Hartmann is too restless to develop them, so the listener can't grasp almost anything.

 Stuttgart Opera's 'Simplicius Simplicissimus' by Karl Amadeus Hartmann, reviewed by Roderic Dunnett
The product of Hartmann's self-imposed internal exile, it was not heard or staged in Germany till after the Second World War.
The opera begins with Hartmann's astonishing instrumental prelude -- his orchestra is a modest one, manageable with less than twenty solo performers -- which alone, together with the eerie spoken narration evoking the appalling cost in human life of the Thirty Years' War, lays the groundwork and evokes the mood of the entire opera.
The chorus has that air of resigned lethargy and torpor which regularly lowers over those with little or no hope.
