75 years Donaueschingen Festival 1921-1996

If you are a fan of contemporary classical music, you might be interested in the playlist 75 Jahre Donaueschinger Musiktage 1921-1996, which contains 12 CDs of recordings from the oldest music festival dedicated to new music. The Donaueschingen Festival, founded in 1921, has been a platform for promoting unknown and controversial talent and experimenting with new forms of expression. The CD box covers 75 years of musical history, from the early 20th century to the late 1990s, featuring works by composers such as Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schönberg, Wolfgang Rhim and many, many others… 

For many years, this box has been out of production, but luckily is still available on Spotify and other platforms (for other platforms, like  Tidal and qobuz, click here). The tracklist is quite extensive, so if you want to search the Composers and performers check this Discogs list. Strange enough, the year the work was composed is not on Discogs, but you can read it in the title of the Spotify metadata. 


I hope you will join me on this musical journey and discover some of the gems of the Donaueschingen Festival!
