description
Robert Fürstenthal’s story is an extraordinary one, a kind of fairy-tale of the twentieth century. Born in 1920, when Germany invaded he took the path of many Viennese Jews and fled to the United States, where he made his living as an accountant. • The fact that he had written a few songs in his youth was soon forgotten, but when after 35 years he rediscovered the woman who had been his first love, it rekindled not only that flame but also his urge to compose. Hundreds of songs – achingly lovely songs, laden with an autumnal sense of loss – have flowed from his pen from then on, preserving the spirit of fin-de-siècle Vienna under the Californian sun. • He died in November 2016, aged 96, with the satisfaction of having heard his songs in these wonderful performances – a last-minute vindication by two young musicians who can carry his music into the future.
