Rheingau Music Festival opens with Mahler's Ninth in Kloster Eberbach

's figures has become habit and impressive. Within two months in the Rheingau features 141 concerts in 38 venues, for which 115,000 tickets are sold. From a tiny sequence of four events, Michael Herrmann and his team created with the Rheingau Music Festival one of the leading classical music festivals in Europe. Meanwhile, sophisticated jazz and entertainment events have been added. All this with a minimum of public Financing, if you count out the support of public service broadcasting and state-controlled enterprises once. At the opening of the 22nd Festival Kloster Eberbach burst at the seams, as Prime Minister of Hesse and festival patron Roland Koch opened the mega-series. The rejoiced beyond the broadcast of the concerts of Hesse and praised the "business idea" and the Lord's personal performance.

It is a tradition that the Hessischer Rundfunk, the first concert of the season in his culture channel live broadcast, this time was also the inhabitants of Catalonia on the speaker to experience the sounds from the Rheingau. A monumental work in not less Experience stunning scenery but you have to spot to make it really work on you. Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9 in D major, completed the last of him, stood on the desks of the musicians of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, which was conducted by its music director Paavo Järvi. Järvi has long been one of the greats of his profession, has just extended his contract until 2013 and Frankfurt takes over next year, in addition, the Orchestre de Paris, which of course has already played at the festival.

It is exactly the kind music that tolerates a festival of this size at the start. As powerful sounds from the depths of the orchestra are dragged out, while previously an extreme pianissimo every sound made individually experienced. It is the fascinating interplay of individuals and groups, which is celebrated in the composition and so masterfully arranged by the HR-Symphony Orchestra with impressive precision and great musical enthusiasm. The morbid charm of the ninth, breaking again and again to power his car with his part in the conquest. The orchestra succeeds once more the thrilling interpretation stark tonal contrasts, the musical forces of nature with a timid reluctance deliberately does not connect. Niklas summer

How Cold Do Wine Cellars Get

Interactive's "Faust" ends in the gas chamber

Dr. Heinrich Faust has no desire to celebrate. In any case, the multi scholars a misanthrope who shows no interest in social events. That takes care of his "Famulus" Fritz Otto Wagner, little. He is determined to his master a celebration of the 60th Birthday align and if all goes well, to give him another wife. The year is 1929, are located in the Upper Webergasse 43 and take an illustrious Civil society and their staff. Heinrich Faust, the name is not randomly selected, like in the role of the enraptured man of spirit that makes seemingly inspired by nothing quite worldly. His zealous servant suspects in the burgeoning Nazism his chance to finally find the recognition that has so far denied him life.

is once again the team from the "Artists' House 43" a special form of interactive theater managed to be in the texts from Goethe's "Faust 1" interwoven with contemporary bonds. As appears "to take care a little," a Scottish officer with Jewish roots, the British occupation forces is a member, but merely want to. Soon he becomes the victim of the already hard-fascist umhauchten community, as well as his sister Margaret, who later appears out of nowhere and wins the fist of its own. The stabs with the help of Mephisto's jealous brother, Margaret is holed because of "incest". died together with fist in her room, enveloped by a light smoke. Immediately becomes clear what is implied with it. But first celebrated bourgeois-clear with a slight flick dent marks. This is due Eisenhof Sophie, an actress who turns into a devilish temptress and determined Faust's way to destruction.

The audience does not remain immovable witness, but shall directly participate as guest host, will be treated, and participates in the dance will be addressed by the actors and integrated. This is possible only with a very-present ensemble that far has more to do but to stay in a given role. Gottfried Herbe, long-time member of the Wiesbaden State Theatre, gives the thumb a graceful note, as if he is able to convey the multiple conversion of plastic and exciting. Ariane mallet is its dangerous sensual temptress whose charms apparently not he succumbs and wegbeißt with ghastly growling inner potential adversaries. Wolfgang Vielsack sycophantic allegiance is with the Fritz Otto Wagner, whose hour has come when he may distribute Jewish stars. Mario Krichbaum demonstrates versatility, not only has to speak with a Scottish accent, but later give barking hearing because of him has a spirit that denies, quickly rendered harmless. Thordis Howe is ultimately a fragile Margaret, as she stands in the book.

Is The Feeldoe A Good Product

anticipation to experience not only to Bach - Daniel Hope plays for St. John's in Mainz

three Geiger will be on 7 June 20 musical clock in the Church of St. John's and meet with their Concert contribute to the urgently needed restoration of the church is given a further financial support. The Mainz violinist Caroline Adomeit, the son of Rev. Dr. Bettina Opitz Chen, Ikki Opitz, who is engaged at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, as well as the internationally renowned Daniel Hope has put together an exciting program for it. We spoke with Daniel Hope of the concert.


How come this contact is really about?

I am using for a long time friend of Ikki. He is one of my oldest friends, because I was with him at the Yehudi Menuhin School. He is an outstanding violinist and we have a long friendship, he For me an important person. The family I've known since I was a little boy. When I talked to Ikkis mother and she told me was that the church needs help, I immediately agreed to hire me. Luckily I was in this period and could easily join free.

What is special about this friendship that keeps them so long?

We were struck by two very intense at the school. I was at the time of eight, he was nine, and for me personally it was very hard. I was in the boarding school I was very homesick and Ikki then very supportive of me and this time made bearable. So I have very fond memories it. We have not since been seen regularly, but there have been many meetings and it seems to us then, as in these 20 years is no time have passed.


As an artist, you always get charity requests. How do you choose that?

you're right, I am asked very often. Some I have to say, but I can not of course do everything. It needs to give me personal access. Some of Amnesty International, because I find this fantastic work is important. Here is the access of the Opitz family was given. But even through the person of Mrs. Opitz-Chen, which is involved heavily in the restoration. That is very honorable, and think it be great if I can help.

How did you select the pieces?

have denied us by phone and e-mail. Each brought his wish list and we have brought under one roof. It was important that there should be a good concert for the audience. The Double Concerto in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach with Ikki as a child I played from time to time and we wanted to perform it again later in a concert. We have never had it and I'm delighted that we now have the chance. Then we found it interesting to divide the "Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi with us, even to the different characters of the sentences highlight.

They will be accompanied by members of the Philharmonic State Orchestra Mainz, they do not know. Is this a risk?

No, I have full confidence in the musicians of this evening. We are all there to support the church, which will succeed and I certainly hope that the audience will be numerous.

tickets cost 20 € and are available in advance at the art gallery hunter Schöfferstrasse 6 or purchased at the box office. For more information: www.johannis-mainz.de

Pedestal Basin Pipe Cover

8th Symphony concert of the Philharmonic State Orchestra Mainz

It was a bittersweet evening concert, which had caused the Philharmonic State Orchestra Mainz his audience in the Great House there. The lush Symphony No. 1 in D major by Gustav Mahler, the "Titan", in which afflicted the composer four years and seven years after its premiere, he finally in 1906, revised again, filled the entire second half. With its wealth of tonal impressions Mahler had already claimed the contemporary audience enormously, Theodor W. Adorno spoke of the "swallowed" the composition of their program was. Also in the Mainz interpretation of programmatic content was barely visible, On the contrary: the enormous show of strength came here a fascinating example of almost absolute power of the musical design of musicians, the duties under the direction of Peter Hirsch a surprisingly closed impression.

had already earlier, the instrumentalists their creative flair with two unusual works of the 20th Century proved. The beginning of the 1950s created "Variations for Orchestra" by Luici Dallapiccola composed of eleven espressiven miniatures that seem even then blown gently, are sometimes thrown out with all the anger. The orchestra put the pieces always very clear and gave the music outright. In the acts of its versatility Work equally highly entertaining, it follows him like a banned as a result of acrobatic circus numbers - always with the expectation of a new and surprising twist that always occurs with predictable safety. The orchestra was found to be least willingly and with all its aural skills for this presentation available.

Luigi Nono's tribute to murdered by the Nazis in 1943, communist writers Julius Fucik (not to be confused with the same wind music composers) from the Czech Republic on the other hand gets torn up as expected and disturbing. A year after its composition in 1951, Nono was the way even the Communist party in Italy at. The oppressive interrogation situation that Nono has captured device to a single charge of individual, lost acting brass phrases to monotonous, long lying strings sounds. This is a short dialogue, in Mainz Greg Trakis and Stefan Walz, unfortunately, presented somewhat schematically.

Nembutal, How Is It Made

anniversary concert in the Wiesbaden Begkirche

When the mountain church was inaugurated 130 years ago, they met in the immediate vicinity, about 100 feet, upset a neighboring community. Just ten years before the synagogue was opened on Michel Berg, köännte today to celebrate anniversary of 140, would they are not on the morning of the 10th was November 1938 by the National Socialists and their obedient followers destroyed and half a year later, seventy years ago, therefore, completely demolished. Quite consciously remembered Bergkirchen Cantor Christian Pfeifer at the anniversary concert also to this part of the Wiesbaden church history.

With the choir of the Mount Church offers the community a very powerful chorus, the line breaks in Whistler for greatness and thereby permanently as one of the most versatile vocal ensemble of the city turns out. Even with the Brahms motet "Why is light given to the weary," presented the 50 singers of her spectrum of sounds to the test. Gentle homogeneity in the overall appearance and high sensitivity in the implementation of the score draw from the choir as well as the huge dynamic subtleties, which they use as a design element.

In other works, such as the excerpts from Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger's Mass in E flat was a very clear voice guidance, by which the various vocal groups demonstrated clear of each other deposed, and yet a deep and comprehensible understanding of the musical context. Also impressive is the meaty moments in extreme pianissimo.

Andreas Carthusians had imagined at the beginning of the rarely played Organ Sonata No. 1 of Christian Fink, which was simultaneously performed with the inauguration of the Mount Church "Wiesbaden Tonkünstlerfest. The work is very lush and full of lies
chromatic games, worked the Carthusian sent out had been realized and resolute. Together with the solo cellist of the Wiesbaden State Orchestra, Stephan Breith,
he performed on harmonium, among them "Kol Nidrei Adagio" by Max Bruch. The two musicians conveyed the expressive melodies and sentimental but without too much pathos.
