About
Many of their works are only slowly returning to the public consciousness and into concert halls, mainly under the title "Verfemte Musik" ("Ostracised Music"). But, according to soprano Pia Davila and pianist Linda Leine, the association occurs all too often! The two musicians have been successfully performing together since 2014; the first prize at the Verfemte Musik competition in Schwerin was the beginning of working together on this subject. In doing so, they have a common goal: "This music is so beautiful, having such great harmonies and so many subtleties - and it's new every time you play it! That's why we want so much for this music to be performed more often and played as a natural part of the repertoire," explains Pia Davila. "These artists are always only referred to as 'Ostracised Composers' - we think that's such a shame because it makes you see them primarily from this single angle that asks, 'What has been done to them?' It's time to look at and listen to these composers differently."
The composers that Linda Leine and Pia Davila have chosen for their first joint album, Irgendwo auf der Welt, have one thing in particular in common: almost all of them have tragic life stories, but their works are characterised by humour, exuding a joie de vivre and cheerfulness. "We were particularly struck by the fact that the humour of the artists we selected from 100 years ago is still relevant today. And not only are the lyrics of the songs humorous, but the music is too! This is something we notice above all in our concerts: people are often amused by the solo piano pieces themselves because the music is so mischievous," says Linda Leine.
Pia Davila and Linda Leine take us on a humorous journey on Irgendwo auf der Welt, showing us how much animalism there can be in people and reminding us that Erich Zeisl, Ilse Weber, Rosy Wertheim, and all the other composers whose songs we can hear on Irgendwo auf der Welt were, above all, fantastic musicians whose works belong on stage!
