Baroque on the rocks
This very personal program includes my favourite works by Tobias Hume, Sainte-Colombe, Marin Marais and Karl-Friedrich Abel [and Michael Jackson]
When I start the tour to my favourite summit at six in the morning it is still cold, foggy, and dark. I say to myself “I better go otherwise I won´t make it back by nightfall”. As I hear the forest brook sparkling beside me it mixes with the waves of Abel´s Arpeggiata in my head. When I pass the marmot colony the playful Allegro from the Solosonata by Telemann starts. Hearing the waterfalls on the halfway has a similar relaxing effect on my tired legs like the resonances of Les Voix humaines by Marin Marais. On the top, when I am lucky, I can see the Grossglockner and the full harmonies of the victorious battaglia by Tobias Hume sound. Being in the mountains and overlooking nature I always had the most amazing music in my head, experiencing it with all senses. I would like to take this feeling on stage and share it with the audience.
