In a career that spanned five decades, Elmer Iseler proved himself pivotal to the development of choral music in Canada. After founding Canada’s first professional choir in 1954, he became artistic director and conductor of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. In 1979 he established Canada’s leading chamber choir, the Elmer Iseler Singers. He also enjoyed a long association with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, conducting more than 150 performances of Handel’s Messiah and premiering complex twentieth-century music. Under his baton, choirs achieved international stature for technical brilliance and artistic versatility. He has, in the estimation of many, created a vibrant, world-class choral infrastructure in Canada. The most decorated musician in Canada, honoured with many awards nationally and internationally, Iseler has made an impact that will continue undiminished through his many recordings, the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Elmer Iseler Chair in Conducting, and the Elmer Iseler National Graduate Fellowships in Choral Conducting at the University of Toronto.

Heinz Erhardt ist unvergessen. Kaum einer brachte so viel Prasenz auf die Buhne wie er. Mit feinem Gefuhl fur Wortakrobatik, Satzmelodien und treffsichere Pointen begeisterte der bodenstandige und publikumsnahe Erhardt sein Auditorium. Viele seiner beliebten Sketche und Gedichte finden sich auf diesem kurzweiligen Horbuch wieder. Nebenher erfahrt der geneigte Horer allerlei Wissenswert-Nutzliches und Nutzbringend-Witziges aus dem Leben des Humoristen. Diese Zusammenstellung macht den gro?en Heinz Erhardt wieder lebendig und kitzelt die Lachmuskeln. Unbedingt horenswert.

Abandoned by his father in the unusual town of Waitnsee, Willy is burdened with a terrible secret. Lost in life with no family that he can trust, the homeless men of the Union Mission become the family he needs. These homeless and hungry men, particularly the aged and legless Elmer, help Willy to put aside the pain of his secret and find a new way of looking at the world around him. The light of the cross on the Mission's roof, and the wail of trains that passed nearby on a regular basis, become anchors for Willy as he endures prejudice and poverty–and learns the power of forgiveness–while discovering his true calling in life. Set in Middle America during the Great Depression, during that period when the country was recovering from World War I while preparing for World War II, Deanna K. Klingel brings to life that awkward era of American History honestly and unapologetically. He heard the wail of the distant train whistle and started off in that direction, hoping it would be the right way back to the south side of town… He paused at the orange ramp in front of the Mission and looked down to read the hand-painted words on the sidewalk: «Behold, how good it is, and how pleasant, where brethren dwell as one! Psalm 133.»
