The edition ‘Musik in Deutschland 1950-2000’ documents on 150 CDs the development of contemporary music in the second half of the 20th century on the basis of a broad concept of music. It covers six main areas: Concert Music, Electronic Music, Music Theatre, Applied Music, Jazz and Popular Music. Within these areas, it is organised into chronologically ordered genre spectra on the one hand (series) and, interwoven with these, into specifically conceived themes (portraits) on the other.
The subject matter is music in both German states up to 1990 and in unified Germany up to the end of the century. In addition to German composers, composers of other nationalities are also included if they had their centre of creativity in Germany or if their work was particularly important for contemporary German music.
