Programme notes *: Of all rigid airships, the zeppelin was the most successful. It is named after Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who initiated its construction. From 1900 to 1940 the Zeppelin was used for passenger transport and military purposes. Unlike other types of aircraft, zeppelins became so popular that the name "zeppelin" came to designate all rigid airship type aerostats and, more generally, any airship balloon. The first movement describes the formidable entrepreneurial spirit of a man with a visionary mind. The end measures paint a broad portrait of Count von Zeppelin, who sees his airship floating above him in a dream. The second movement takes us into the heart of an airship hangar. The construction of such a flying machine arouses immense enthusiasm among the people involved in the project. But the central passage is darker; one feels resigned spirits, the apprehension of failure, the outbreak of war, several accidents occur, but the men are tenacious and persevering. They pursue their dream: to build a huge "flying cigar". In the third movement, the zeppelin finally takes off. Light and silent, the airship floats in the sky. After a long journey, we see it getting closer and closer. On the ground, people are busy. The joy is immense. The zeppelin has built a new bridge between peoples and nations. In the fourth movement, Europe is at war. The airship prowls in the skies over London. It is spreading panic and terror over the city. The air giant seems to come from another world, casting its menacing shadow over events of war. Europe is annihilated. With it disappears the symbol of the airship industry. The finale of the work tells the story of a rebirth. ---------- Quelle/Source: Mitropa Tags: travels Technology and Inventions Accidents and tragedies Contemporary History and Historical Events
