My father was translator and dramaturg for the English-language premiere of Botho Strauss's "The Hypochondriacs" - and also its music editor. They needed music that was edgy, mysterious, and unsettled. He dug up an LP of "Out of Doors," cuts from which they sprinkled liberally throughout the production. I'll never forget the effect of The Night's Music, the first selection in this video, during an incredibly suspenseful mad scene.
