In 2008 we celebrate the centenary of Hugo Distler, one of the most important Ger- man composers of the 20th century. Right at the start of the Distler-year Musicaphon brings a first recording: The sta- ge music to the play „Knight Bluebeard" by Ludwig Tieck, composed by Distler in 1940 using material from his harpsichord concerto he had created five years earlier. Therefore it makes sense to combine both works on one CD. Moreover the elder recording of the harpsichord concerto with Huguette Dreyfus was not available for a long time but counts as the reference recording of that work until today. Besides the interesting use of musical material from the harpsichord concerto the stage music to „Knight Bluebeard" is meaningful for several reasons. Firstly this work should be the opener for Distler to the world of the opera (which did not work resulting from circumstances Distler had no influence in), and secondly it bears (and shows) subtile political resistance. „Bluebeard" was recorded live at the first performance in Neubrandenburg 2002. Both recordings are not originally multichannel but were brushed up to a convin- cing virtual multichannel basis (Harpsichord Concerto directly from analog to DSD, Bluebeard from PCM to DSD).
