Perhaps Resurrection from Ruins is the best-known, if not most frequently performed, work by a new music composer of the 20th century, and as befits German hymns, it is heard here as a string quartet. The University of Music in East Berlin was named after its composer, Hanns Eisler. He took his master class at the East Academy of Arts, as did Paul-Heinz Dittrich, who was a master student of Eisler and Blacher, and later chaired a master class himself, as did Ruth Zechlin, who in turn was a student of Dessau. This could go on forever. Incidentally, Hanns Eisler remained an Austrian citizen until his death.
