On Thursday April 25, Amsterdam Sinfonietta will launch the exciting animation Alla Tarantella. This video clip with thrilling music by Erwin Schulhoff was made by director and animator Gideon van der Stelt.
In the vibrant Berlin of the 1920s, Erwin Schulhoff, a composer with Jewish roots, created his groundbreaking composition Five Pieces for String Quartet. He was a regular participant in the Berlin city bustle, and could be found every evening in a café or on a stage. Twenty years later he died in the concentration camp in Wülzburg.
Amsterdam Sinfonietta brings Schulhoff's spirit back to life in the performance of Alla Tarantella, the dynamic last movement of his quartet. The tarantella refers both to the wolf spider and to an energetic Italian traditional dance form. The performance of Amsterdam Sinfonietta, and the accompanying video clip by director and animator Gideon van der Stelt, are a playful ode to the era in which Erwin Schulhoff celebrated life, music and the arts.
In the video clip, the orchestra members populate the lively bars and nightclubs of Berlin. The urban decor dances to the music, led by a spider who is literally in control.
