Karajan – Best of
Karajan – Best of
There are very few vivid legends such as Herbert
von Karajan! His name is a synonym for musicality, perfection and passion. Comparable perhaps
only with Enrico Caruso or Maria Callas, but with
the exception that the conductor (born on April
5th, 1908 in Salzburg and died on July 16th, 1989)
could eternally preserve a great part of his oeuvre thanks to the television era. His career is accompanied by very early recordings and even
the very young Karajan is documented on film.
His last life decade was dedicated to quality do-
cumentation on a very high level of his most im- cert repertoires Karajan decided to integrate
portantoeuvres for future generations. In 1982 some of his favourite operas like “Don Giovanhe founded Telemondial, contracted the king of ni”, “Don Carlos”, “The Knight of the Rose ” or

Herbert von Karajan Profile
Karajan – So kann die Welt nicht bleiben
Phenomenon Karajan
Das Phänomen Karajan
In 1982 Karajan founded Telemondial, and with the best studio technicians
he once again started to produce sound recordings. Next to important studio productions of popular concert repertoires Karajan decided to integrate
some of his favourite operas like “Don Giovanni”, “Don Carlos”, “The
Knight of the Rose ” or “Falstaff”.
In this portrait Uli Märkle, the Telemondial manager and long time Karajan
companion, illustrates the cooperation with the Maestro, whose total dedication to music became next to proverbial. Uli Märkle also describes a humorous and in many questions interested contemporary with a liking for
westerns and “Bratwürstel”. The new found film cuts show Karajan with
Nicolai Ghiaurov as Don Giovanni in Salzburg, Jess Thomas as Siegfried and
Grace Bumbry as Carmen. But also rehearsals out of Telemondial concert
productions, that were first presented at the inauguration of the Karajan
Centrum, are integrated in this ORF production.
This Karajan portrait also includes interview clips that Heinz Fischer Karwin
recorded with the famous conductor.

Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra –
a unique lifelong cooperation, slightly clouded
only by minor disharmonies. Karajan was appointed head of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra at an early stage of his famed international
career, when he succeded Wilhelm Furtwängler
in 1954. The Vienna State Opera, the Salzburger
Festspiele and the Vienna Philharmonic were later stops on his illustrious path through the
world of music.

Program 1983: Rossini’s William Tell Overture,
Smetana’s Vltava from Má Vlast, Sibelius’s Valse triste, Josef Strauss’s Delirium Waltz and Johann Strauss’s Overture to “The Gipsy Baron”
The long-term relationship between Karajan and
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra still remains a
one-of-a-kind phenomenon. Not surprisingly, Karajan chose Beethoven’s “Eroica” to be performed at the anniversary concert “100 Years Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra”. Without a doubt, Karajans “Eroica” marks a highlight in the history of
classical concerts – and certainly one of Karajan’s
own career.

Orchestra marked the undisputed highlights of
Berlin’s concert life. Three times these magical
moments of classical music were captured on video. In these three concerts, Karajan conducted
works of two composers he had cherished for all
his life: Richard Strauss and Anton Bruckner. All
three of them – inspiring performances, brilliantly arranged and conducted as they are – have set
a benchmark for all following generations of
bandmasters.

Herbert von Karajan had an exceptionally close
relationship to Japan. He had his first appearance as a guest conductor with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in 1954. A few months later – after Furtwängler’s death – he came to Tokyo and
Osaka in 1984 on his first world tour with his Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. At this celebrated
appearance in the Symphony Hall Osaka he performed Mozart’s Divertimento No. 15, Richard
Strauss’s Don Juan and Respighi’s Pini di Roma.
If you want to experience how popular Karajan
was in Japan, you have the best possibility to do
so with this recording.
On May 1st 1987, a memorable concert took
place in Berlin. The official kick-off to the celebrations of Berlin’s 750th anniversary was a concert
performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,
conducted by Herbert von Karajan. The concert
aired live on TV, with the Berlin Philharmonic performing “Also sprach Zarathustra” by Richard
Strauss as a dramatic symphony with opulent
sounds and lyrical intermezzos as well as “Divertimento No.17 in D- major”, Köchel catalogue No.
334, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Opening of the Berlin Chamber Music Hall in
October 1987 would remain one of the last appearances of Karajan in Berlin. On this occasion,
Karajan conducted Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”. The
part of the solo violin was played by one of the
best violinists in the world, who also was the favourite musical partner of Karajan at the time:
Anne-Sophie Mutter. A passionate young musician, she became – next to Karajan and the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra – the third star of the
evening. Karajan directed the concert while playing the cembalo himself.

Beethoven – 9 Symphonies

Famous Overtures
Berühmte Ouvertüren
Herbert von Karajan conducted the world-famous New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra only once in 1987. In doing this
he ennobled an institution that until then had
perpetually been in the hand of a single colleague. Clemens Krauss, Willi Boskovsky and Lorin
Maazel had always been responsible for a complete series. Then Karajan came, conducted and
succeeded! Since then the star conductors
change annually – from Muti to Kleiber, from
Mehta to Abbado. Today, one anxiously anticipates who will be the superstar of next year’s New
Year’s Concert. The main opinion is that Karajan
put the ideal balance of light-footed joy and musical brilliance in this Viennese Music. Contributions to this success were Kathleen Battle with
the “Frühlingsstimmen Walzer”, the State Opera
Ballet and the famous white horses, the Lippizaner. The New Year’s Concert 1987 – it is really a
great moment of musical history!
Beethoven and Karajan – a lifelong love affair;
decades of struggle. The result: new unexpected
interpretations time and time again. The studio
productions of Telemondial were recorded in the
years 1982 – 1986 in the Berlin Philharmonie
with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. They
bring the possibly most popular symphonies into
the concert halls of the world in perfect balance
between obliging architecture and innovative
magnitude that was such a great concern to the
contemporary Beethoven. You can characterize
these 9 Beethoven symphonies as the heart of
Karajan’s legacy.
The compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven as
well as those of Richard Wagner or Richard
Strauss stand in the center of Herbert von
Karajan’s oeuvre.

From the 1984, 1985 and 1986 concert seasons,
one Beethoven-performance by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under their longtime director
Karajan stands out above all others. Beethoven’s
Concert for Violin in D-Major, performed by AnneSophie Mutter, turned out to be downright unsurpassable. A truly timeless masterpiece, that
perfectly balances the simplicity of chamber music through the soloist’s highest virtuosity with
the overall tone of Beethoven’s arguably most
popular composition. Throughout his life, Karajan always maintained a sense for perfection and
aesthetics. Together with “his” Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the young Anne-Sophie Mutter,
he left behind a recording that can only be called
consummate and perfect.
During 1985 and 1986, two Richard Strauss concerts with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra were taped: “Don Quixote” and “A Hero’s Life”. The subjects couldn’t
stand in a harsher contrast within each other:
The endearing hero who fights windmills on one
hand, the bombastic protagonist, who shows
any kind of soft manners only in side-matters, on
the other. Hardly have Herbert von Karajan and
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra produced two
other works with such a differentiated, opulent
and beautiful sound.
Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” in the
orchestration of Ravel is one of the most popular
works in concert literature. His interpretations of
an exhibition that really existed in his days are so
well put that you can literally see witch “Baba
Yaga” or the “Biddies” hatch out of their eggs in
front of your imaginary eyes. And if you feel that
the walls of the Berlin Philharmonie are starting
to sway because of the intensity of sound when
standing in front of the Big Gate of Kiev – then
you know, that this concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the highlights of
Karajan’s entire career. Even those, whose access is by video only, will testify to that phenomenon. If you want to know why Karajan is considered a “Magician of Sound”: Watch this! His
sheer talent becomes the event here.

Symphonien No. 4/5/6
Johannes Brahms only composed four symphonies. During 1986/87, Karajan recorded both
No.1 and No. 2 with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. As with works of Beethoven, Bruckner
and Strauss, Karajan’s interpretations of Brahms
fall in the category of “eternal validity”. Both
concerts were obviously planned as part of a
complete cycle of Brahm’s works, only to be interrupted by Karajan’s death, thus leaving it a
torso. For Brahms-aficionados, the torso still poses a highlight of all times.
Besides his passion for Beethoven, Brahms or
Tchaikovsky, Karajan also harbored a special
connection to French composers. Thanks to his
French wife Eliette, his villa in southern France
and last but not least his personal elegance, he
developed an intensive relationship to impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovksy – similar to Mozart or Beethoven – was almost always working along the fine line between what is
now called classical music and light music. His
compositions are even known to people who
have never set foot in a concert hall or never
went to see a ballet performance, because his
catchy tunes are widely used in the world of advertising. Just think of “The Nutcracker” or “Swan
Lake”. His three most popular symphonies are
numbered 4, 5 and 6 in his work-catalogue. Whenever Karajan interpreted them, the audience
responded with outright rage. Among all the
thrilling and exciting performances the Maestro
has left behind, the three Tchaikovsky symphonies Karajan recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the Musikverein in 1984 absolutely stand out.

Herbert von Karajan’s Dvorak-interpretations
with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, most
notably symphonies No. 8 and 9, are legendary.
Symphony No. 9 “From the New World” stands
very much in the tradition of Beethoven, but is
completely riddled with a slavic tune and a melancholy way that Karajan and the Viennese implied so inimitably. Dvorak’s 8th and 9th symphonies captured for eternity – recorded at the
Musikverein.
The second orchestra of importance in Karajan’s
life was the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. An
artistic friendship spanning decades developed,
driving the orchestra to great achievements
while at the same time inspiring the sensitive
conductor. This congeniality of souls can especially be heard in the works of Anton Bruckner,
a composer from Upper Austria. His Symphony
No. 8 in C-minor, recorded live at the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna, is a document of absolute
superlative.
Herbert von Karajan also often confronted
himself with spiritual music. Especially the Mozart, Verdi and Brahms Requiem were always
performed in the utmost quality, whereas before
all else Verdi’s Messa di Requiem demands excellent opera voices. In the Musikvereinssaal in
Vienna in 1984 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the soloist quartet Anna Tomowa-Sintow, José Carreras, José van Dam and Kurt Moll
was available.
The Mozart Requiem in 1986, again in the Vienna
Musikvereinssaal with the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra, features Anna Tomowa-Sintow again
as the soprano, Vinson Cole as tenor, Paata Burchuladze as bass and Helga Müller Molinari as
alto. Whereas the Brahms German Requiem, in
1985 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra,
Kathleen Battle, soprano, José van Dam, baritone, along with the Vienna Singverein guaranteed
an unforgettable event.

On June 29th 1985, an event of singular artistic
importance took place. In the presence of Pope
John Paul II, Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra performed Mozart’s Coronation Mass
in the Basilica of St. Peter’s in Rome. With Kathleen Battle, Trudeliese Schmidt, Gösta Winbergh
and Ferruccio Furlanetto, soloists of highest international reputation had been selected to participate. The choir of the Vienna Singverein completed the cast of great performers. Those who
were there became witness to a meeting of a truly great Pope with one of the greatest conductors
of all times, who – together with a world-class
assembly of musicians – created an inspiring atmosphere on that memorable evening in Vatican
City. An evening never to forget, even when only
watching it on TV.
One year later, after the violin concerto, he recorded Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis”, again with
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. For this recording, he recruited an international cast of singers, of which José van Dam and Letta Cuberli
stand out. Interestingly enough, he called on the
choir of the Vienna Musikverein to perform with
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Oscar Alemán – A Swinging Life
Oscar Alemán
Villavicio (Javier Calamaro)
Villavicio (Javier Calamaro)
The band of Paul Porcelli transits a completely
original musical terrain: the mixture between the
Tango and Jazz. It is composed by Paul Porcelli on
tenor sax, Jorge Fasce on guitar, Maxi Rozenblum
on bass and Claudio Eidler on drums. Pablo Porcelli covers classic tangos, his own compositions with
an air arrabalero who puts his stamp on music.
He astounded Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington tried to lure him away from Josephine
Baker, who kept him as the best member of her
orchestra. He fled from Hitler and rejected Juan
Perón’s attempts to get him to play at his public
functions. During the golden age of the tango, he
attracted multitudes with his outstanding jazz.
Of mixed indigenous and spanish blood, born in
the land of the tango, Oscar Alemán was one of
the greatest guitarrists in history, but that cannot define him. To classify him as a jazz guitarrist
is to restrict him even more. He was a showman
who excelled at playing the guitar and interpreting jazz, because that was the kind of music he
loved and what best suited his style. That is what
led him to be a protagonist of the Parisian music
scene in the 30s and one of the outstanding figures of Argentine performance for decades. This
film documents Alemán’s exciting and surprising
life and the tragic family history he had to overcome while it recaps the story of popular music
in the 20th century.
Javier Calamaro presents Villavicio. Recorded
live on October 20th 2006 in the Cablevision Studios and produced by Javier Calamaro himself,
Villavicio includes a total of 19 tracks: the romantic “4 roses and a candle”, “Hail”, “Guilty and
convicted” and “darkness and deafness”, composed specially by Javier Calamaro and pianist
Leandro Chiappe. The repertoire is completed by
classic tango songs as “Garúa” –“Drizzle” with a
taste of rock- “Yira yira”, “Tomo y obligo”, “Equipaje”, ”Desencuentro”, “La última curda”, “Yuyo
verde”, “Malevaje”, “Los Mareados”, “Sur” and
“Melodía de arrabal” – featuring Chino Laborde.
There are some new versions included in previous albums, like folk song “El corralero”, “Navegar”, “Mesas vacías” and “Mátame suavmente”.
This work took 21 months of production and means a change of path for Javier Calamaro’s career.

Koukourgi
Koukourgi
A recording from Stadttheater Klagenfurt,
Klagenfurt 2010
The debut performance of Koukourgi fell victim
to the revolutionary reign of terror in Paris in
1792/93. Cherubini was forced to break off from
composing the piece on the eve of the so-called
September massacres when he was only halfway
through the finale. The incomplete score was
long believed to have been lost and was only rediscovered a few years ago in Krakow.
Heiko Cullmann, the musicologist and chief dramaturge at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt, has succeed in making the manuscript accessible to the
public in a new version for the stage. If we think
of his tragic opera, Medea, we think of Cherubini
as an artist who excels at portraying wounded
souls. With Koukourgi, however, he created music full of wit and spirit. During a period that offered little by way of enjoyment, he produced a
feather-light score of almost unlimited richness
of form. The libretto humorously blends irony,
the magical and the historical, private yearnings

and political utopias. The plot takes place in China in days of old. When Fohi the nobleman learns
of the love affair between his adopted son, Amazan, and his natural daughter, Zulma, he banishes him. Fohi’s castle is then seized by enemy
tartar soldiers, although Zulma succeeds in fleeing to the camp of the timid Commander Koukourgi. She asks him – of all people – to rescue her
father. Koukourgi places Amazan at the head of
his troops, and thanks to Amazan’s bravery, the
battle is won and Fohi is freed. But it is not Ama-
zan who is offered Zulma’s hand in marriage;
instead it is the pathetic and cowardly Koukourgi,
who dozed through every battle. In despair,
Amazan launches himself into a new fight against
the Tartars …

Agrippina
Agrippina
A recording from the State Theater Saarland,
Saarbrücken 2009.
Agrippina is the second and final opera that
George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) wrote during his travels in Italy between 1706 and 1710.
With its compositional urgency and sensual facets, the work, which was premiered on 26th December 1709 in Venice, is not only considered to
be a highlight of Handel’s first creative period,
but also as a “repository of themes” for later
operas composed in London.
Agrippina will go to any lengths to secure the imperial throne for her son, Nero. She has her husband, Claudius, declared dead and plays off her
two admirers, Pallas and Narcissus, against one
another. In addition she also attempts to involve
the beautiful Poppaea, who is desired by both
Claudius and Nero as well as by Claudius’ General, Otho, in her intrigue. In the end Claudius relinquishes the throne in favour of Nero. Otho renounces his claim to power and marries Poppaea.
Agrippina has achieved her objective.

Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro has always been the
most-performed opera at the Salzburg Festival.
Mozart’s musical comedy was first programmed
in 1922 – and until 2009, it saw no less than 240
performances. In 1963, Figaro was sung by the
Welsh bass-baritone Geraint Evans, who had a
gorgeous voice and plenty of Mozart experience
and was also an actor who kept his role in perfect
balance, despite its many facets. This recording
of Le Nozze di Figaro documents a performance
that demonstrated like few others why the opera
bears the subtitle “The Day of Madness”.
The new production created for the opening of “The Marriage of Figaro” was the first of three

According to statistics drawn up by the Salzburg
Festival, Così fan tutte is the third most-frequently performed work at the festival after Le nozze di

more popular Don Giovanni into fourth place.
Few other operas have had such a loyal following
among Salzburg audiences.
None of Mozart’s great operas, it seems, brings
with it such interpretative problems and none is
as difficult to assess as “La clemenza di Tito”,
which Mozart wrote in 1791, shortly before his
death, for the coronation of Leopold II as King of
Bohemia. The tendency either to admire the piece immoderately or to dismiss it as unperformable is not just a recent phenomenon.

is the psychological exploration of the eponymous character, who in her ambivalence of enchanting beauty and cruel nature differs from all

“Manon Lescaut” was Giacomo Puccini’s first
great musical success. The opera was premièred
in Turin in 1893 and performed in the German
language for the first time in Vienna in 1908.
With highly expressive cantilenas, Puccini tells of
the fate of Manon, who is driven to a fatal ending
by her longing for expansive luxury and true love.
The sensational success of Manon at its premiere
at the Opéra Comique in Paris in 1884 confirmed
Jules Massenet’s status as one of the outstanding French opera composers of the late 19th
century. The opera was based on the novel “Die
Leiden des jungen Werthers” (“The Sorrows of
Young Werther”) by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1774. It brought overnight
fame to its young author, now generally acclaimed as Germany’s greatest writer.

“Roméo et Juliette” was Gounod’s last great stage success. The Paris Universal Exhibition, which
took place in the same year as the work was premiered – 1867 – contributed to the popularity of
this opera beyond France’s borders. The opera
tells the story of Romeo and Juliet and their tragic
end, which to a certain extent is a popular version of “Tristan and Isolde”. The world premières
of these two works took place only two years
apart.

Vienna 1997
This opera, which is generally considered to be
Richard Wagner’s most accessible work, has had
an enduring resonance even beyond the circle of
die-hard Wagner fans for over 150 years. The
spooky legend of the seafarer who is damned to
travel the oceans of the world eternally, and a
range of musical highlights such as the “Sailor’s
Song”, have ensured that the work has enjoyed
lasting, unbroken popularity.
The 1786 première in Vienna’s Burgtheater was
personally directed by Mozart from his seat at
the harpsichord. Its success was enormous at
the time. Emperor Josef II had felt obliged to subject the libretto for the première to the censor,
but the Vienna public was quite able to read between the lines.

Salzburg 2010
In celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Salzburg Festival and thus the 90th performance of
“Everyman”, the play about a rich man’s death
has been thoroughly reworked and largely recast.
Nicholas Ofczarek is a young, contemporary and
entirely convincing new occupant of the title role
of Everyman, which is being performed on
Salzburg‘s Domplatz. The Vienna Burgtheater actor, who was born in 1971 and who has succeeded Peter Simonischek in the title role after eight
years, portrays an arrogant, brutal businessman
whose credo – by no means uncommon today –
is that money equals power. He is highly credible
in his depiction of the lead character’s fear of
death and his belated transformation.
Ofczarek is accompanied on stage by the multi
award-winning actress, Birgit Minichmayr, as his
paramour.

The Best Selling Monks – A Miracle with Side Effects
Die Bestsellermönche – Wunder mit Nebenwirkungen
Over a million copies of the “Chant Music for Paradise” CD have been sold over the past two years. The monks from Heiligenkreuz Abbey have
topped the charts across the world with their
Gregorian chants and left stars such as Madonna
and Amy Winehouse trailing in their wake. But
how did this unusual joint venture between commerce and prayer come about? And what effect
has their unexpected worldwide popularity had
on the monks’ lives? The documentary pursues
these questions and looks behind the scenes of
their success. It scrutinises the view of the world
held by Heiligenkreuz Abbey, an institution that
is considered to be ecclesiastically conservative,
reveals PR and marketing mechanisms and discusses the question of the extent to which the
success a CD of this kind can be sustained.
“The Best Selling Monks – A Miracle with Side
Effects” is the extraordinary story of the clash
between money and prayer.

Der Klang Hollywoods – Max Steiner und seine Erben
This documentary uses previously unpublished
materials and contemporary witnesses to tell the
story of the astonishing career of composer Max
Steiner. Shaped by the musical world of Vienna,
Max Steiner brought the music of Richard Strauss
and Gustav Mahler to Hollywood, where he established a new musical genre for the nascent “talkies”: symphonic film music. He produced musical scores for over 300 films, including classics
such as “Gone with the Wind” and “Casablanca”,
was recognised with three Oscars and still has an
influence on film music composers – such as the
Austrian composer Gerrit Wunder – today.

Childhood in Limelight
Kindheit im Rampenlicht
When assistant priest Joseph Mohr wrote the text
to “Silent Night” in 1816 and teacher Franz Xaver
Gruber set it to music two years later, no-one
imagined that it would become the most well
known Christmas carol in the world, sung today
in over 350 languages and dialects around the
globe. In a time of acute poverty and political disturbance following the Napoleonic wars, Joseph
Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber wanted to reassure
people in their area, many of whom were sailors,
by producing a simple Christmas carol with guitar accompaniment for the local sailor’s church.
This documentary follows the development of
the song, by searching out the traces and places
of its composition and setting it in the wider historical context. Original documents, re-enactments
and interviews with experts shed light on the
true origins of “Silent Night”, beyond the many
legends which surround it.
The reopening of the Vienna State Opera with
Beethoven’s “Fidelio” in November 1955 was the
beginning of a new era in Austria. Hit in an American bomb attack at the very end of World War II
it later on became a symbol for the cultural rebirth and strength of a country. This documentary
presents a crucial point in history by gathering
almost all the main witnesses of this era and exquisite archive-footage as well as using reinactments and CGI-animations.
They are world renowned and a symbol of Austria: away from the spotlights, however, the life of
the Vienna Boys’ Choir is much less glamorous.
Everyday life in the choir’s boarding school is
characterised by strict discipline – the school’s
timetable includes hours of practice and vocal
exercises – and the young boys struggle constantly with bouts of home-sickness, often not
seeing their parents for months at a time. This
music documentary follows the boys around for
a year, looking behind the scenes of their touring
and boarding-school life and capturing their very
personal stories in intimate pictures.

senting songs of the ancient Silk Road. Intimate
portraits of the young boys give exclusive insight
into the laborious education at Palais Augarten
in Vienna, their nomadic life, work and dreams
and their thrilling adventures while shooting
scenes for their project along the famous Silk
Road.
In the process Curt Faudon, accompanied the Vienna Boys’ Choir on tours across the USA, Japan
and Australia and interweaves touching encounters with musicians and children in Usbekistan,
Shanxi, Xinjiang and Gansu with historic performances of the choir.
A musical journey littered with gaudy pictures,
dreams and an affectionate homage to music –
from medieval chansons, Renaissance music
and pieces by Schubert to modern day classics,
from western European melodies to the songs of
the Silk Road, including unexpected highlights
from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, China and

This documentary shows three South African singers with impressive voices who originate from
the townships around Cape Town. They grew up
surrounded by poverty, criminality and hopelessness, but thanks to their voices have carved out
a new future for themselves and thus found a
means of escaping their situation. The film observes the singers not only at rehearsals, auditions and performances but also provides an intimate glimpse of their everyday lives.
This intriguing search for devotees and connoisseurs of Richard Wagner’s “The Ring of the Nibelung” takes us on a spectacular journey from the
far flung coast of the Philippines to Manaus in
the Amazonian rainforest and a tiny Berber village in the Sahara. As well as encounters with
Prince Charles, Franz Welser-Möst and Achim
Freyer, viewers also meet Star Wars fanatics and
Lord of the Rings fans. But what parallels do these modern fables have with Wagner’s epic? Is
Wagner’s grandiose theater work a global myth,
that is relevant to us all or is it the music of the
rich and powerful? Does power in the operas always equate with the person in possession of
the ring? A funny and irreverent film about an
awe-inspiring myth, which has touched countless people profoundly since its inception.
It seems the “Flying Dutchman”, the mysterious
seafarer from Richard Wagner’s opera, has found
someone worthy to carry on his legacy. Real-life
Dutchman and modern-day adventurer Henk de
Velde who has already circumnavigated the globe solo in his sailboat five times.

Discovering Haydn
Heute schon Haydn gehört?
Several years back, kown director Christine Mielitz staged a most controversial production of Richard Wagner’s “Parsifal” at the Vienna State
Opera. Werner Boote attempts to document the
origins of the opera and vividly tells us some real-life backstage stories surrounding the history
of “Parsifal“.
Who would have believed it? While taking an inventory of books at a library in the German city of
Dresden, a musical masterpiece was accidentally
discovered from one of history’s most famous
musical personalities. This work, which had been
attributed to another composer for around 200
years, forms the starting point for a musical biography of the maestro Don Antonio Vivaldi.
Alongside the world premiere of this piece, a setting of Psalm 110 “Dixit Dominus, RV 807”, in
Dresden’s cathedral, the film also presents a colourful recreation of Vivaldi’s life and work. From
his birth in Venice, the film follows the life of the
composer to Dresden and Leipzig and finally Vienna. Renowned Vivaldi experts, such as Professor Peter Ryom, reveal fascinating background
information about the pieces. Well known interpreters of Vivaldi, such as the virtuoso Giuliano
Carmignola and the Venice Baroque Orchestra
round out this “rediscovery” of the maestro with
marvellous performances, including a never before recorded violin concerto.
This symphonic documentary takes the 200th anniversary of composer Joseph Haydn’s death as a
starting point for a cinematic examination of arguably the most important pioneer of Viennese
classical music. What emerges primarily is the
biography of a highly talented man, born into a
provincial family of simple means, who was
caught between difficult circumstances and
great but often fortunate or accidental achievements.
In a gripping search to uncover the legendary
Grail in Spain, the documentary team may have
found the true Holy Grail. An adventure story that
seems to be taken from Indiana Jones translates
the fascination of the “Parsifal” opera into film.

Wolfgang Who?
Wolfgang Wer?
Composer Viktor Ullmann, a pupil of Schönberg
and promising musician prior to Hitler’s rise to
power, was 46 when he was killed in Auschwitz
on October 18, 1944. Even while at the Theresienstadt camp he composed “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” (The Emperor of Atlantis), an opera symbolically dealing with the national socialist terror
that was to mark his own and his ensemble’s
doom.
Johann Strauss the Elder, one of the original fathers of the Vienna Waltz, celebrated his 200th
anniversary in March 2004. He was the genius of
music to revolutionize 19th century light music in
collaboration with Josef Lanner, leaving thus an
imprint on the spirit of the Biedermeier period.
Nobody would have guessed at that time that
Strauss the Elder was later to stand in the shadow of his son: After all, also Strauss the Elder
and his own orchestra swept a massive audience
away in standing ovations. He is definitely the
originator of light music as a mass phenomenon.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a trade mark. Yet:
the man behind the name and the music remains
a mystery. This two-part documentary tells the
story of this most remarkable musician, showing
his years travelling Europe as a wunderkind under the vigilant eyes of his father and picturing
his rebellion, initial triumph and final defeat in
Vienna in the 1780s. Numerous world famous interpreters like conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt
and pop icon Prince among others speak about
Mozart’s impact and importance.

Placido Domingo and Clemens Hellsberg are ambassadors for Hear the World, a Swiss foundation
dedicated to increasing worldwide awareness of
the importance of hearing. The film documents
cultural events involving the subject of hearing
and deafness, from classical music and dance to
drumming for the hearing impaired. It portrays
the daily life of individuals who have made outstanding creative achievements despite being
deaf or hearing-impaired.
Austria boasts a very active young dance scene,
which has assumed a remarkably independent
role within the international world of dance. The
Vienna Dance Biennial of 1982 to 1994 contributed a great deal to the importance that dance has
acquired in Austria over the years; the Internationale Tanzwochen Wien and the ImPuls Tanz festival, now held for fifteen years, have added
further impact to the scene. All these events
have fostered the country’s role in dance and
have attracted new audiences.
Mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager, a native
of Salzburg, Austria, lives her life spanning the
gap between professional success and dedication to her family. In the last ten years, she has
become one of the most renowned Austrian singers, as well as the dedicated mother to her

“Donna Anna” Netrebko. After countless standing
ovations, stadium concerts, video shoots and CD
recordings, Anna Netrebko is the undisputed global diva of the opera world. She has fundamentally changed the genre with her image as a modern, down-to-earth, beautiful woman in tune

Tiago, or cooking in her new apartment in Vienna.
Her father, Yuri Netrebko, tells the viewer, “Right
from kindergarten Anna was always the one who
led everyone else in singing.” Massimo Giordano,
the tenor, marvels at Netrebko’s presence. “She
has a very special energy and lives completely in

I got there. The main thing was that I would be

Basso Star René Pape
Starportrait René Pape
Opera houses are keen to snap him up, while
orchestras and star soloists bring out their best
under his direction. Nikolaus Harnoncourt secured his place in the history of classical music long
ago with his great love of music and exceptional
performances. This documentary accompanies
the 80-year-old world renowned conductor and
aristocrat on his tireless search for musical perfection, presenting along the way some of his
greatest moments in classical music. In a very
personal interview Nikolaus Harnoncourt recounts his career and explains his musical credo, his relationship to his native land and his
thoughts on ageing. Filmed rehearsals and interviews with his family and colleagues give an authentic insight into the life of the star conductor
and convey an impression of his reasoned and
yet emotional way of thinking and working.
The styriarte music festival was first held 25 years ago. At the time the idea was to bring Nikolaus Harnoncourt, the pioneering conductor,
closer to his home town. This worldwide star has
remained at the heart of the festival to the present day and plays a key role in shaping the program with productions that have caused an international sensation. „styriarte” has become the
star conductor’s “home game”. Over the course
of the years he has recorded cycles by Schumann, Beethoven, Haydn, Brahms, Mendelssohn
and Schubert here, and brought musical projects
to fruition that would not have been possible elsewhere.
René Pape is one of the most outstanding singers of a new generation of opera-singers. His
genre not only encompasses the great Wagner
roles but also includes young roles with sexappeal, from Don Giovanni to Escamillo. The documentary shows the balancing act between the
star and the private person René Pape in portraying the singer in the thrilling world of opera with
all its joys and tensions and in his everyday life,
the opera-singer as jet-setter traveling from one
country to another. On the tour accompanying
René Pape we meet artists like Daniel Barenboim
and Placido Domingo.
The documentary shows the chronology and
highlights of the past 25 years and, among other
things, provides a glimpse of Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe’s
enthralling and enjoyable rehearsals for Bedrich
Smetana’s symphonic cycle, “My Fatherland”.

Is the most famous symphony orchestra in the
world in reality a family business? After taking a
closer look, one might get that impression. The
intertwining, genealogic history of the Vienna
Philharmonic’s members dates back to the
orchestra’s very beginnings. The chair on which
clarinettist Peter Schmidl now sits was once occupied by his father, and his father before him.
Similarly, solo-cellist Franz Bartolomey can also
look back on an extensive family tradition. The
Vienna Philharmonic is truly unique in the world
in building on the family histories of its members
to create such a rich artistic legacy.
The Austrian Markus Hinterhäuser, extraordinary
pianist and Concert Director at the Salzburger
Festspiele, is impossible to categorize. He has
established himself as an allround-artist and
creative lateral thinker – you won’t find any of
the well-known, common composers at one of
his increasingly rare concerts. One is much more
likely to come across Morton Feldman, John Cage,
Giacinto Scelsi, or Galina Ustvolskaya. A very intimate portrait, showing this exceptionally talented man at work as well as his private sides following him to La Spezia, his birthplace in Italy.
Seiji Ozawa guides the artistic fate of one of the
most renowned opera houses in the world as
musical director of the Vienna State Opera for
five years. To do this, Ozawa ended his more
than 30 year involvement with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood festival.
The film also shows Ozawa away from his work,
for example in his house in Tokyo, in which a TV
team was welcomed for the first time, or on the
ski slopes.

Musikalisch-Kulinarisch –
Vivaldi und Venedig
These rather unconventional documentaries follow the trails of famous composers. Vivaldi, Verdi,
Strauss, Mozart, Puccini or Rossini – not only are their musical gems being featured, but also their
respective culinary passions.
The city of Venice has produced many great artists. One of them, Antonio Vivaldi, is again en
vogue these days. In a colorful and culinary documentary, Georg Madeja retraces Vivaldi’s life
and career in his home town – also focusing on
all the gastronomic delights that have been savored and even portrayed since the 18th century.
With Donna Leon, Ensemble Barucco and others.
Besides portraying their homelands with its people and pictur-esque sceneries, the documentaries
focus on the culinary prefer-ences of these famous men. From simple pleasures to lush and exquisite
specialties – their tastes were at least as different as their compositions turned out to be!

Verdi and the Emilia Romagna
Verdi und die Emilia Romagna
Vienna’s Two Strausses
Wiener Sträusse
Mozart and Da Ponte
Mozart und Da Ponte
A musical-culinary portrait of Giuseppe Verdi and
his native region between Busseto and Parma,
including an excursion to the opera festival of
Verona.
The music of an entire era has been shaped by
Johann Strauss the Elder and the Younger in a
way that it has never been shaped before. In those days, Vienna not only enjoyed the latest compositions of the Kings of Waltz, but also indulged
in a perfect fusion of cuisines from the different
lands of the Habsburg Empire. Therefore the film
deals with Viennese waltz and imperial Austrian
cooking. Finally, Eduard Strauss, one of the last
direct successors of the Strauss dynasty, relates
stories of the family’s rich history over time.
A singular union between the two composers has
given rise to three famous operas: “The Marriage
of Figaro” (Le Nozze di Figaro), “Don Giovanni”
and “Così fan tutte”. Setting out from Da Ponte’s
native Venice and his exile in Gorizia in the Italian
region of Friuli, we are following the librettist to
Vienna, the place of his lucky encounter with the
composer W. A. Mozart. Together the two Musicians travel to Salzburg and Prague immortalizing
their love of contemporary culinary delights in
their joint musical oeuvre.
Tracing the tracks of Verdi, we follow a regional
landscape and its inhabitants, and explore its peculiarities, simple dishes and specialties. He was
already in his early thirties when the successful
composer withdrew to the solitude of Sant’Agata.
Committing himself to the simplicity of country
life, he preferred to entertain guests, usually serving his own local produce, sometimes even prepared by himself.

Hector Berlioz
Hector Berlioz: Aus einem
Künstlerleben
Musically-Culinary – Joseph Haydn
Joseph Haydn
Revered lady-killer, composer and gourmet –
Giacomo Puccini knew all about the bright sides
of life and definitely enjoyed them eagerly. Born
in Lucca, he kept a close relationship to his culinary- rich hometown as well as to his parent’s
home throughout his entire life devoting his culinary passion to the cucina povera, the “simple
cooking” and pure produce of the Tuscany region. Excerpts of opera-classics like “La Boheme”,
“Tosca” and “Turandot” – shot at the opera-festival of Torre del Lago – complement this musicalculinary tour through Puccini’s life and palatine.
This most recent episode follows the footsteps of
the composer Hector Berlioz as “Musically-Culinary” travels for the first time to France. Using
the Symphonie Fantastique as a Leitmotiv, the
documentary gives an outline of Berlioz’ life and
musical accomplishments, placing both within
the social context of his time.
There are landscapes that appear to have evolved out of the spirit of their artists and artists
who exude the spirit of the landscape in which
they were born, like Joseph Haydn. While retracing the life of Joseph Haydn, we discover not
only his music but also the beautiful landscape
of Central Europe, its people and incomparable,
delectable cuisine. The film takes an ironic turn,
confronting a fictive Haydn with himself and the
impact of his creative work. Stunned he witnesses the amazing transformation of the Kaiser
quartet into the German national anthem – in a
football match!

Tango – A Strange Turn
Faszination Tango
Orquesta típica – Tango or Death
Orquesta típica – Tango oder Tod
Si sos brujo – A Tango Story
Si sos brujo – Eine Tango-Geschichte
A feature musical, “Tango, A Strange Turn” tells
the story of contemporary young tango artists
who narrate their own histories and their relationship to tango. Eight groups of new-generation
musicians and dancers appear—each filmed in
locations tied to their history. They perform
twenty-two compositions of both new and traditional songs. The music is accompanied by informal conversations that allow us to get acquainted with the lives and thoughts of the musicians
and dancers. Dance holds an important place in
the film, from the movements of non-professional young couples dancing with great skill, to the
experienced steps of older couples who help us
to see the differences and similarities between
tangos of different eras. Buenos Aires is also integral to the film. Tango lives in its streets, in the
way its residents walk, in people’s gestures and
gazes—even in the waiter carrying a cup of coffee to a customer.
This is a documentary film that tells the story
about a tango orchestra who travel all over the
world playing the historical Argentinian music.
Twelve guys looking like punk rockers pushing a
piano down the street. Their sound is elaborate
but raw. Their music is politically committed
while historically linked to counterculture; still, it
is part of a genre more than a hundred years old.
This is their story. This is Buenos Aires 2006. Nicolas Entel directed the film, which was mostly
recorded in Buenos Aires, though he registered
images during the first European Tour that Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro did around Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He also filmed during a mini tour in Uruguay.
A young Argentine musician races to find legendary maestros from tango’s golden age in order
to save the lost oral transmission of style before the secrets of “the real tango” are lost forever. “Si Sos Brujo” follows this dream to create
a tango orchestra school, and the relationship
between its founder and driving force, the young
double bass player Ignacio Varchausky, and the
87-year-old maestro he calls out of retirement to
conduct it: the mythic violinist, composer, and
bandoneon player Emilio Balcarce. In this race to
recover cultural heritage, Ignacio must convince
Emilio Balcarce to return to the rehearsal room.
In collaboration with legendary tango figures
including Pepe Libertella, Raúl Garello, Néstor
Marconi, Ernesto Franco, Julián Plaza, Leopoldo
Federico, Atilio Stampone and Víctor Lavallén,
Emilio must lead his young students to the very
heart of tango, introducing them to its beloved
composers and its greatest orchestras.

Esquina Homero Manzi
The junction of San Juan and Boedo streets is a
historical corner of Buenos Aires steeped in local tradition. The bar that was built on this site
in 1927 became a symbol of the urban culture of
the Forties, hosting many of the popular musicians who turned tango into the foremost artistic
expression of Buenos Aires. Every day hundreds
of tourists visit this unique and charming place,
which is protected as a building of historical importance. It was essential to save it, and to bring
back the magic of tango beat. The corner of San
Juan and Boedo represents the heart of the arrabal. It is a fitting place where to recreate the
atmosphere of the days of cobbled streets and
malevos while, at the same time, incorporating
modern facilities and comfort. Intimately linked
to local tradition and culture, “The Corner” is a
place dedicated not only to the people of Buenos
Aires but also to all music lovers.
