Weisses Gold

by Stern-Combo Meissen

Weisses Gold cover art

Hailing from East Germany, the ambitious collective crafted a sweeping conceptual suite chronicling the invention of European hard paste porcelain by Johann Friedrich Böttger. Utilizing an array of synthesizers alongside a full choir and orchestra, the work is intensely melodic and structurally grandiose. It remains one of the most culturally significant and sophisticated rock recordings produced behind the Iron Curtain.
