a danger of kitsch in Stefaniensaal?

All hearts in the concert hall beat a little faster at the first notes of Edvard Grieg’s Morning Mood. Hardly any other work of the classical period gained as much popularity as the Norwegian Romantic’s two Peer Gynt suites. Is there a danger of kitsch in Stefaniensaal? Fortunately, David Orlowsky is joining us to play his klezmer clarinet concerto. Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer from Zurich conducts the evening’s programme with great passion.

He makes his clarinet sing and does not shy away from musical experimentation. As a foster child of Giora Feidman, the Thuringian-born sound individualist honed his skills at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, among others, and has long been regarded as a trendsetter in world chamber music. With his trio Klezmorim, he has given klezmer music a new voice for over 20 years and has already been honoured with the ECHO Klassik Award three times.

Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective has played in unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and has worked with outstanding conductors.
