“Die Narbe / The Scar” is a project by Berlin-based photographer Martin U. K. Lengemann. On the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war, Lengemann told the newspaper ”Welt am Sonntag“ his own personal history of the First World War from the perspective of his great-grandfather and events on Western Front. His wish is reconciliation instead of division. For decades, he has been committed to promoting understanding between Germans and Britons. For many years, he has researched the history, accounts and music of the Great War.

Lengemann, whose other great passion is classical music, found three composers who stand out in their generation. Now the Horenstein Ensemble, one of Germany’s best known chamber ensembles, together with the soprano Barabara Krieger, has released a CD at ACOUSENCE. They are playing the music of these three composers who died in the Great War between 1914 and 1918: Rudi Stephan, George Butterworth und Cecil Coles, three composers, who unfortunately could not develop her youthful, very exciting work. What remains is the question: What would have left us this generation…
