Who would have guessed that one of the most controversial figures of the western philosophical tradition, the 19th century German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), also wrote music?
Until 1990, Nietzsche's activity as a gifted, though largely untutored composer, remained an unknown quantity to all save a few erudite scholars. It was at that time that the Nietzsche Music Project, an interdisciplinary enterprise devoted to exploring the links between music and literature, surfaced in New York. The NMP produced two discs devoted to Nietzsche's compositions which were released in 1991 and '92 on the Newport Classic label. These recordings earned widespread critical acclaim in the mainstream media and plaudits from the general public.
This current 2-CD set is NMP's second survey of this unique repertoire. Like his writing, Nietzsche's music is exceptional in every way. Given the above-average quality of a good number of the pieces, we believe that, as with all good music, these works deserve a second look. Certainly, his best compositions are substantial enough to invite multiple perspectives. Aside from their purely musical qualities, they provide fascinating insights into the creative personality of a young man who would eventually develop into the author of some of the most moving and provocative philosophical writings ever written.
The set includes an illustrated 32 page booklet with background essays in English and German, song translations in English, and a CD-Rom with clips from the NMP's upcoming documentary film, Zarathustra's Drunken Song, narrated by the distinguished actor, Fritz Weaver, with German narration by Klaus Werner. Additional essays on the subject of Nietzsche and music in both English and German are also included.

I recommend this CD set
author: adam neikirk
"Nietzsche's various compositions are brilliant, chaotic storms of sadness, anger, and hope. The music, composed numerous years before the writing of his famous Thus Spoke Zarathustra, is almost a premonition in that the emotional fury of notes and harmonies parallels Zarathustra's most profound passages. I recommend this CD set to both lovers of
Nietzsche and of classical music." Adam Neikirk, a listener

Very Good CD
author: Beth
This CD was the perfect gift for my girlfriend who is a Friedrich freak. The music itself is very simple, however this makes the CD all the more intresting since the music is coming from such a complicated man. I would very much recommend this CD to all out there.

Really great; any true fan of Nietzsche's philosophy will appreciate this
author: Laura
Nietzsche does a great job of expressing the joy and power he speaks of in his writing (and also some of the lonliness we see in Zarathustra) with a surprising amount of technical competence, given that he is first and foremost a philospoher, not a musician. Worth checking out
