Yesterday I have been to the opera in Frankfurt: La Cenerentola of Giacchino Rossini. Not a very complicated piece but something funny and lyrical in part with easy going music. The production was great. They had a replica of the […]
I have been to a concert today. As it is still difficult to get tickets for the Elbphilharmonie I had to listen to the Elbphilharmonie Orchestra in Vienna 😉 They played the piano concert in c minor of Mozart and […]
I have been to a concert today in the Vienna Konzerthaus. Martha Argerich and Lilya Zilberstein played a piano duet. First part was Robert Schumann. I was never a big fan of Schumann and also today I consider this the […]
Ich komme gerade aus der Frankfurter Oper, es gab „Die Passagierin“ von Weinberg. Ich habe mir die Inszenierung jetzt zum zweiten Mal angesehen, weil ich sie beim ersten Mal so beeindruckend fand. Und auch dieses Mal hat mich das Stück […]
Today I have have been in a concert at the Komische Oper Berlin. They played a fantasy overture for Romeo and Julia by Tschaikowski followed by the Kammersinfonie of Franz Schreker. It was the first time I heard something of […]
Ich war heute mal wieder im Jungen Theater in Bonn und habe mir die Neu-Inszenierung von „Die unendliche Geschichte“ angeschaut. Ich hatte das Making Of bereits in YouTube verfolgt und war sehr gespannt auf die Aufführung. Sie war ganz einfach […]
I have been to the Musikverein and listened to the Vienna symphony orchestra together with Jasminka Stancul playing Beethoven and Prokofjew. At first I was not too happy to go to this concert. Then I realized that I bought these […]
I have been to the remembrance concert yesterday in Dresden. As always the Kreuzchor sang first „was liegt die Stadt so wüst“ of Mauersberger. As always that was very intense. The main part of the concert was the requiem of […]
I have just watched Harry Potter (1) at Dresden Kulturpalast and the score was played by Dresdner Philharmonie which is an amazing orchestra that I have heard a lot of times. The music is fantastic and the orchestra was absolutely […]
On Tuesday I have been to the ballet. They showed Peer Gynt, a Nordic tale by Henrik Ibsen with the famous music of Edvard Grieg. It was not a classical ballet production but much more fantastic. I thought it fit […]
On Sunday I had been to a concert of the Windsbacher Boys Choir in the St. Markus church in Erlangen. I knew most of the pieces and the choir was good as always. They also sung my favorite piece from […]
Ich war heute mal in einem Konzert: Mahler bis jetzt, von Studenten der Musikhochschulen Wien und Graz. Es gab zunächst Lieder von Mahler in einer Bearbeitung von Schönberg. Die waren sehr fein! Dazwischen gab es Intermezzi, komponiert von zeitgenössischen Komponisten, […]
Gestern war ich mal wieder in einem Konzert, sozusagen mein persönlicher Jahresauftakt. In der Alten Oper in Frankfurt habe ich Jan Lisiecki erlebt. Wer seinen Namen noch nicht kennt, er ist ein 22jähriger Pianist, der bereits zur Weltspitze zählt. Ich […]
I forgot to mention that on Saturday I have been in theatre. I watched the Christmas story – the actual Christmas story compiled from the 4 Gospels. It is an off theatre in Frankfurt that plays in an old factory […]
Heute war ich in Mahler 8 oder auch „Symphonie der Tausend“. Seit einem guten Jahr möchte ich die Symphonie schon live hören und nun endlich hat es geklappt im Musikverein mit dem Tonkünstler Orchester. Ich hatte eine Karte in der […]
Yesterday evening the Ring ended with „Brünhilde“. It consisted of the third act of Walküre and a lot of Götterdämmerung. Contentwise maybe the weakest part but of course not musicalwise. The singers were again very good and the orchestra as […]
Today we heard the second part of the Ring Trilogy, Siegfried. It consisted of large parts of the first Act of Walküre and obviously a lot of Siegfried. They straightened it a bit but it was nevertheless nearly 4 hours […]
I started a little concert marathon again. Today I heard the first part of the Ring Trilogy (!) at the Theater an der Wien, one of the smaller opera houses in Vienna (they have in total 4). The Ring Trilogy […]
