Program:
"To be or not to be - a Shakespeare evening"
The second round of the Musical Salons, deliberately conceived as an intimate format by baritone Georg Nigl, is a combination of song recital and reading that is a school of listening. And that sharpens the senses! Everything in the town hall's ornate fireplace room is geared towards concentration. This creates a closeness between artists and audience that is simply not possible in the large concert hall. Georg Nigl can therefore move for long stretches in a world between singing and declamation, which Alexander Gergelyfi accompanies with intuitive harmony on the clavichord - a forerunner of the fortepiano - in the most delicate and breathy phrasing imaginable. This lends the compositions a touching simplicity that harmonizes wonderfully with the selected texts, which actor Sven-Eric Bechtolf recites pointedly. After Mozart and Bach last year, Shakespeare and Schubert are now the focus of these experimental salons with their beguiling mixtures of fragile and delicate sounds - rating: particularly valuable!
