Release Date: 05/20/10

The portrait of a musician whose professional life surmounted the fateful twists and turns of two world wars: The accordion music of Wolfgang Jacobi (1894-1972), performed here by Helmut Jacobs, is characterized by 'neoclassical' traits with impressionistic lightness. Listening to Jacobi's masterful performance, it quickly becomes clear why Jacobi was later celebrated as a pioneer for new music!
