Additional info/contents	“Deutschlandbilder” is a wonderful sound painting full of beauty – dignified and reverent, but also with humor and a cheerful wink. That's why Alfred Bösendorfer deliberately describes his work as a capriccio, a playful and joking piece of music. In addition to his own motifs, the composer quotes German folk and children's songs such as “The Butzemann” and “The Mill Rattles”, which he cleverly integrates into a dramaturgical concept. There are also references to Richard Wagner and Jacques Offenbach. But wait a minute... Jacques Offenbach? A Frenchman in a work entitled “Images of Germany”? Jacques Offenbach was born Jakob Eberst in Cologne in 1819. His father later changed his surname due to his family origins from Offenbach am Main. Jakob studied in Paris and took the French form of his first name, eventually becoming Jacques Offenbach. No one else mastered musical satire like him. He caricatured politics, the military, important people and the customs of his time as well as the “typical German” in an incomparable way. In his “Germany Pictures” Alfred Bösendorfer sketches Germany and the Germans from different perspectives in all their beautiful and enriching diversity - from the gentle forest devotion to the elegant polka and the majestic Rhine to the lively Adam with his sons. Jacques Offenbach's humorous style occasionally shines through.
