EDA Records have issued five world premiere recordings of Jozef Koffler, the Polish serialist who was murdered with his family during the Nazi Holocaust.

Should be interesting.

    I wrote a few words about in in my big article on Entartete Musik, Theresienstadt and CC recordings:

    Thank you, Mr. Lebrecht, for sharing this. I’d never heard of Koffler until now. What a fabulous piece!
