「トランペット協奏曲の作曲家オスカー・ベーメは悲運の音楽家。ドイツに生まれ、サンクトペテルブルクに活動の場を移し、ロシア国籍も取得してそのまま定住したが、スターリンの大粛清が始まると、ドイツ系だったためにオレンブルクに流刑になった。これは反革命組織への参加という濡れ衣を着せられたためらしい。」
「ベーメはオレンブルクへ3年間の追放処分になっていたが、その期限が終わる直前にまたスパイ容疑で逮捕されてしまう。そしてオレンブルクのNKVDトロイカによって死刑を宣告され、即日銃殺された。この事実は遺族にも伏せられていたが、1989年になってから事件記録が再検証され、ベーメの容疑はNKVDによる捏造であり、有罪答弁は拷問によって引き出されたものだと結論付けられ、ベーメは名誉を回復した」

独裁で人治主義が跋扈するとこういう悲劇が引きも切らない。

今日はフェルッチョ・ブゾーニの命日。1924年、ベルリンにて没。享年58。死因は腎臓病とされている。

イタリア生まれだがドイツ語圏での活動が多かったためか、墓もベルリンのシュトゥーベンラウフ通り第3市営墓地にある。https://maps.app.goo.gl/Se2yY4XcmEn2ag9Z8

出版されている作品は多くはないが、第二次大戦の混乱で散逸した作品が多数あり、未出版のままになっているものも多いという。

What's going on with the album "Abyssal Murmurs: Echoes from the Deep" supposedly produced by Gil Shaham (the revered violinist?!). It's some kind of new age disco slop.

Has his name been hijacked? Has the metadata been incorrectly linked (Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon all have the same). None of the artist bio mentions *anything* about a sudden shift in genre.

The best I can come up with is AI slop being misleadingly attributed to well-known names for exposure.
