By gathering historical and musical fragments from a Europe torn
apart by the Second World War and the Cold War, East German
playwright Heiner Müller and West German composer Heiner Goebbels
created Wolokolamsker Chaussee as a musical panorama that stretched
across modern European history at a moment of international crisis.
The question at the heart of the recording was prescient in the
waning years of the Cold War, but it remains no less critical for
the “crisis of Europe” today: Is it possible for Europe to be
unified? A vast range of musical styles—from folk song to
hip-hop, from the symphonic canon to heavy metal—coalesce in the
five acts, which expose the wounds of European history while
struggling musically to heal them. This extraordinary recording
from 1989/90 not only captures the sound of a historical moment,
but also powerfully enacts responses to it. 33 1/3 Global, a series
related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the
original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to
music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on
Japanese, Brazilian, and European music, the series will also
include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Africa,
the Middle East, and more.
