Wall to Wall Behind the Wall explores the wealth of great music emanating from Eastern Europe from the end of World War I through the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. During this complicated time, music commissioned by the state for propaganda was counterbalanced by music of protest, some of which was subtly subversive, some more overt in its socio-political commentary, as well as by more personal music of the spirit. Connections to the musical avant garde and affinities with the West also played a role, although much of this music was underground during the height of the Cold War.
