RELEASE INFORMATION

Bettina Jonic's extraordinary and theatrical recording, The Bitter Mirror, was originally performed at the Royal Court Theater in London in 1975. This historically potent work of musical art resonates as powerfully today as it did when it first debuted. On November 9, 2010, Motèma Music will re-release this long out-of- print recording, making it available for the first time in CD and digital format. Jonic's brilliant juxtaposition of twenty-two incendiary compositions by Bob Dylan and Bertolt Brecht will also mark the second release in Motema's new audiophile series curated by Peabody-Award winning broadcaster Jim Luce. All 22 tracks will be available as high resolution downloads on HDtracks.com. A collectors' edition on 180 gram vinyl is also planned.
