Description

Music to glorify the powerful, musical propaganda, national anthems - the unifying power of melodies has always been used by political regimes. But what happens when they fall out of favour, for conveying the idea of freedom, or because the origins or opinions of their composers failed to toe the line? In these cases, bans have sometimes been imposed on well-known and lesser-known works from the classical repertoire. Pierre Solot guides you through the dark corridors of political censorship and makes his case loud and clear: you can’t take their freedom to compose!
