About
When he became music director in Cologne after the war at the age of thirty-three, Günter Wand insisted from the start on the inclusion of contemporary music in order to restore musical life amid the material and intellectual ruins.
In particular, he wanted to bring back into German musical life the composers who had been forbidden and persecuted by the Nazis, and include them with Classical and Romantic repertoire in the "normal" subscription concerts, not in special concert series.
