Georg

Description

Michael Moravek composes songs about Georg Elser, a musical tribute to this man from Königsbronn who nearly stopped Hitler. "Thirteen minutes too late." — That is how the Süddeutsche Zeitung, in an article about the play "13 Minutes - How Georg Elser Nearly Changed the World," succinctly summarized the drama. In 1939, Georg Elser's assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler failed — and he was murdered for it, then vilified for decades. More than 80 years later, singer-songwriter Michael Moravek dedicates the remarkable work "GEORG" to this often-forgotten resistance fighter. The Songs: Ten songs and one instrumental piece on the zither form an intense, concise album imbued with discreet emotion. According to the Georg Elser Memorial in Königsbronn, only a few known songs worldwide, performed by various artists, reference Elser. Moravek is the first to dedicate an entire musical work to him.
