ABSTRACT

Österreichische Abende, or Austrian Evenings, were a series unique to the 1945 Salzburg Festival. These six solo recitals, five of which featured singers, highlighted Austrian musical culture by recruiting Austrian performers to perform Austrian music in an Austrian setting. For the first time since the Annexation in 1938, Salzburg Festival administrators had the opportunity, albeit with limited resources, to assert an identity separate from Germany. By leveraging available resources, collaborating strategically with occupiers, evoking nostalgia, and providing a sacred space, these small-scale recitals were integral to the first postwar season of the Salzburg Festival and its subsequent revival.

摘要

Österreichische Abende，即奥地利之夜，是 1945 年萨尔茨堡音乐节的独特系列。这六场独奏音乐会，其中五场以歌手为特色，通过招募奥地利表演者在奥地利环境中演奏奥地利音乐，突出了奥地利音乐文化。自 1938 年吞并以来，萨尔茨堡音乐节的管理人员第一次有机会，尽管资源有限，但仍能从德国独立出来。通过利用可用资源、与占领者进行战略合作、唤起怀旧情绪并提供一个神圣的空间，这些小规模的独奏会是萨尔茨堡音乐节战后第一个季节及其随后的复兴不可或缺的一部分。
