Ernst Busch - Eisler / Majakowksi Lieder (Aurora, 1964)

Ernst Busch was a famous German actor and singer and prominent figure of the international communist movement. He is known for his interpretations of Kurt Weill's and Hanns Eisler's compositions and Kurt Tucholsky's and Bertolt Brecht's pieces. He was also the founder of "Lied der Zeit GmbH" (1946), the predecessor of Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin.

In the year 1957, Ernst Busch took over the leading role in the stage play "Sturm" by Wladimir Bill-Belozerkowski at Deutsches Theater (Berlin), celebrating the 40th anniversary of the october revolution. Hanns Eisler wrote three songs for Busch´s leading role, using lyrics by the poet Wladimir Majakowski ("Linker Marsch", "Subotnik") and by Peter Hacks ("Läuselied"). In 1958, Eisler wrote "Zeit-Marsch" for the Majakowski production "Schwitzbad" at the Volksbühne (Berlin).

These tracks were released some years later, in 1964, on the Ernst Busch "Aurora" EP series. The EP was released with an informative magazine including photos, articles about the artists and the poems/lyrics.
