The album was presented in the Dutch music broadcast centre, a place that Hanns Eisler visited in 1933 to make several recordings.
Soprano Bauwien van der Meer, guitar player Annedee Jaeger and cellist Joris van Haaften established the Eisler Trio in 2011. They play their own arrangements of music from the Interwar period. In 2012 they issued their first cd: Es wechseln die Zeiten. January 2014, the Eisler Trio presented together with vocal quartet Quatre Bouches The William Blake Experience, a multimediaproject.
