Siegfried Behrend

This book commemorates the “Father of Guitar Artistry” and recalls the life and life’s work of this exceptional musical figure in 20th-century Germany. It includes contributions about Siegfried Behrend himself as well as topics that were particularly close to his heart—among them his collaboration with the singers Pilar Lorengar and Belina, his commitment to the Bund Deutscher Zupfmusiker and the Goethe-Institut, and a look into his private life.

With contributions by Marc Boettcher, Rüdiger Grambow, Matthias Henke, Martin Maria Krüger, Manuel Negwer, Helmut Richter, Michael Tröster.This is a greatly expanded and updated new edition of the book “Stationen”, published on the occasion of Siegfried Behrend’s 85th birthday in November 2018.

With numerous illustrations, concert posters and programmes, private photographs, and lists—“stations” not only in a figurative sense, but also quite literally.
