Description

Arnold Schoenberg revolutionized music in the first half of the 20th century. A famous theorist, painter, author of works and arrangements, he is an exceptional figure. A Jew who broke away from the synagogue, Schoenberg was one of the most famous victims of the anti-Semitic policies of Nazi Germany. France Musique – Louis Valentin Lopez, on October 8 at 11:10 AM, announced the death of Amaury du Closel. Conductor and composer, Amaury du Closel worked tirelessly to resurrect the music of artists banned by Nazi and totalitarian regimes. He was 68 years old. "My favorite virtue is the spirit of resistance," he declared to Lionel Esparza on France Musique. Composer Amaury du Closel passed away this Monday, October 7, at the age of 68. A composer himself, he founded the Forum Voix Etouffées in 2003 and worked tirelessly to unearth, resurrect, and promote the music of composers banned by Nazi and totalitarian regimes, such as Viktor Ullmann, Ernst Krenek, and Franz Schreker. The broken trajectories that Amaury du Closel spoke of are detailed in a book published in 2005 by Actes Sud: Les Voix étouffées du Troisième Reich, which won the award for best essay from the Syndicat de la critique musicale.
