About the album

Schulhoff’s music remained a well-kept secret for many years, due in part to its apparent eclecticism. Fortunately, that situation has changed over the last twenty years of so. This release from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam contains piano works from the period 1920-1931, an extremely fruitful period during which Schulhoff gave vent to his fascination for the new jazz and dance music without entirely losing signt of classical tradition. He was a brilliant pianist himself, making frequent appearances in the concert hall and later in radio studios, renowned for his immaculate technique, fabulous memory and prowess as an improviser. The combination of classical foundations and more decorative jazz elements in Schulhoff’s music suits Daahoud Salim Alvarez down to the ground, as he studied both classical and jazz piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Schulhoff constantly faced the dilemma of respecting traditions while at the same time being keen to distance himself
Daahoud Salim vertolkt Forbidden Music van Erwin Schulhoff
Forbidden Music bevat muziek uit de jaren 1920-1931 van componist Erwin Schulhoff, uitgevoerd door pianist Daahoud Salim, samen met het Symfonieorkest van het Amsterdams conservatorium. Schulhoff werd in 1894 in Praag geboren. Zijn muziek bleef lang een goedbewaard geheim. De hernieuwde belangstelling voor kunst uit de jaren voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog bracht daar verandering in. Zo werd zijn muziek voor de vergetelheid behoed. Schulhoff, zelf een briljant pianist, hield van experimenteren. Hij had er totaal geen moeite mee de avantgardistische technieken van zijn tijd te verweven met invloeden uit de jazz.

Deze combinatie van avant-garde en jazz past goed bij de 26-jarige pianist Daahoud Salim, die opgeleid is als klassiek en jazzpianist aan het conservatorium in Amsterdam. Salim speelde al op vierjarige leeftijd piano, onder het wakend oog van zijn vader, een Amerikaanse componist en saxofonist. In deze uitvoering staat het Konzert für Klavier und kleines Orchester uit 1923 centraal. Als afronding van het fascinerende portret van Schulhoff, speelt Salim samen met pianiste Nadezda Filippova een quatre-mainssuite voor piano.
Schulhoff war einer der experimentierfreudigsten Komponisten des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts, der sich nicht scheute die avantgardistischen Techniken der Zeit mit Jazzeinflüssen zu verweben und somit die Genregrenzen aufzuweichen. ‚Forbidden Music’ portraitiert den kühnen Komponisten und Pianisten Schulhoff auf besonders authentische Weise, denn der 26-jährige Daahoud Salim ist ausgebildeter klassischer und Jazz-Pianist und somit die perfekte Besetzung für die Zeit(geist)musik Schulhoffs. Salim begann bereits im Alter von vier mit dem Klavierspielen unter der Obhut seines Vaters, dem amerikanischen Komponisten und Saxophonisten Abdu Salim. Fasziniert von diesem Instrument und dessen Vielfältigkeit studierte er in Spanien, Dänemark, Portugal und den Niederlanden und konzertierte in vielen namhaften Konzerthäusern beider Genres um die ganze Welt.

Im Zentrum der Einspielung steht das 'Konzert für Klavier und kleines Orchester' von 1923, das Daahoud Salim mit dem Sinfonieorchester des Konservatoriums von Amsterdam aufgenommen hat. Zur Abrundung des faszinierenden Komponistenportraits finden sich auf der Einspielung auch zwei Solosuiten sowie die Ironien op. 34 zu vier Händen, die gemeinsam mit der Pianistin Nadezda Filippova entstanden sind.

Erwin Schulhoff

Erwin Schulhoff is amongst the composers who have fallen into oblivion, and yet played an important role in the history of music. Dvorak already noticed him when he was a young boy, because of his musical talent and interest in everything new. Schulhoff was one of the first European composers to find inspiration in jazz. He mainly made use of harmonic and rhythmic elements and dances like the foxtrot, charleston and shimmy. After the First World War, he also embraced the influence of Dadaism and composed a few pieces with absurd elements, such as In futurum, which consists entirely of rests.

Schulhoff was one of the first European composers to find inspiration in jazz. He mainly made use of harmonic and rhythmic elements and dances like the foxtrot, charleston and shimmy. After the First World War, he also embraced the influence of Dadaism and composed a few pieces with absurd elements, such as In futurum, which consists entirely of rests.
In the 1930s, Schulhoff became a sympathizer of communism under influence of his friends, as a result of which he was not permitted to perform in Germany. Due to his Jewish descent and radical politic interests his music became labeled as ‘Entartete Musik’. His communist sympathies also brought him trouble in Czechoslovakia, were he had to work under a pseudonym after the invasion of the Nazis. In 1941, the Soviet Union approved his petition for citizenship, but he was arrested and deported to a concentration camp before he could leave Czechoslovakia.
Schulhoff was admired by his acquaintances, and recognized as a promising, gifted talent. As a pianist he was known as a virtuoso with brilliant technique and a strong touch.
