?Achtung, Aufnahme!! is the Ebony Band�s final album. Conductor and oboist Werner Herbers leaves behind a legacy of discovering, archiving, performing and recording works of �forgotten� composers from the interbellum era. Herbers and the Ebony Band have given over 200 concerts around the world promoting the compositions of that time: often absurdist, Jazz-influenced and dadaistic - styles and influences that the Nazis labelled as �perverse�. Just as they were gaining public popularity, many composers of that time were banned, had to flee or were killed in concentration camps. The archive of the Ebony Band�s information and discovered ensemble works of over 125 composers will be transferred to the Netherlands Music Institute in The Hague, where Herbers� life�s work will remain accessible for generations to come. All the pieces on this recording were written around 1930, have rarely been heard live and are world premiere recordings: Achtung, Aufnahme!! by Wilhelm Grosz, "Kom�dien aus Europa" by Walter Goehr, and "Die vertauschten Manuskripte" by M�ty�s Seiber.
