德国创作歌手Wolf Biermann迎来90岁生日，推出新专辑Unterm Haar nur Himmel，继续讨论个人自由与公共责任。他计划在Hamburg与妻子安静度过生日，并为翌日在Berliner Ensemble的演出保存体力。
Biermann1936年生于Hamburg，父亲因反纳粹活动遭捕并于1943年在Auschwitz遇害。他在1953年自愿移居东德，后来通过歌曲批评现实，1965年被禁止演出及出版。
1976年获准赴西德演出后，东德当局取消其继续居留权，引发知识界公开抗议，也使更多批评者遭监控和限制。德国之声通过他的经历回顾艺术表达与政治权力的冲突；新专辑是这段创作道路的延续。
