מנצחים גדולים ברייך השלישי: אמנות בשירות הרשע

This production features actual newsreal footage — Hitler himself is caught weeping on camera — of concerts led by Blech, Böhm, Furtwängler, Karajan, Knappertsbusch, Krauss, Schillings with Hitler, Goebbels, Berger, Ralf, Rode, Rosvaenge and the Berlin Philharmonic. Performance footage plus newsreels: excerpts from Tell, Meistersinger, the Beethoven Ninth and the Schubert “Unfinished” Symphonies, Karajan, Knappertsbusch, and Krauss during the Third Reich. Determined to present an image of culture, the Nazis were known to turn their art into propaganda; conductors being no exception. Great Conductors of the Third Reich highlights some of the most blatant examples of art not in the face, but rather in the service of evil.
