An enormously versatile composer, Eisler encompassed many different genres ranging from chamber works, political songs and choruses to full symphonic works and film scores. A man of strong convictions, Eisler dedicated his life to fighting political and social repression. When Hitler came to power in 1933, the Nazis’ antagonism towards the left and subsequent arrests of leftist artists caused Eisler to begin a period of exile lasting almost fifteen years, in Vienna, London, Paris, Copenhagen, New York, Mexico City and Hollywood.
