德國創作歌手Wolf Biermann迎來90歲生日，推出新專輯Unterm Haar nur Himmel，繼續討論個人自由與公共責任。他計劃在Hamburg與妻子安靜度過生日，併爲翌日在Berliner Ensemble的演出保存體力。
Biermann1936年生於Hamburg，父親因反納粹活動遭捕並於1943年在Auschwitz遇害。他在1953年自願移居東德，後來通過歌曲批評現實，1965年被禁止演出及出版。
1976年獲准赴西德演出後，東德當局取消其繼續居留權，引發知識界公開抗議，也使更多批評者遭監控和限制。德國之聲通過他的經歷回顧藝術表達與政治權力的衝突；新專輯是這段創作道路的延續。
