Narrow Escape From the Nazis: Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei (TeenWorldArts)

Citation Formats

General Reference

BibTeX

TeenWorldArts's own magazine article on Kol Nidrei's suppression under Nazi rule carries no named byline and no dated edition, so the atlas records neither; it does not fit the site's other source-type categories cleanly either, so none is forced onto it. Its strength is that it recounts a specific, independently corroborated episode: Bruch's own Christian background, the Nazi assumption that a composer capable of writing so movingly on a Jewish theme must himself be Jewish, and the resulting ban on his music inside Germany that held until the regime's defeat. Its limit is that it is a general audience arts education outlet rather than a peer reviewed musicological source, appropriate here because the claim it supports is corroborated independently by several other outlets.
