At the turn of 20th century, Vienna was driven by artistic and cultural forces, freed from the academic pedantries of the past. A mixture of feverish optimism and crushing despair, created an idealism for free expression in art and culture. The music of Vienna 1900 reflected in this playlist, gives a subconscious mirror of my home town, reflecting sentiment of disorientation, which ultimately turned out to set tone for a new, modern reorientation of Western-Society. For to fully experience the sentiment of the Vienna’s 1900 playlist, I recommend looking at the art work of Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka and many others of this unique era. I hope you will enjoy!
