Carol petraeus goes in intensity is breathtaking. Was. When hes leading an orchestra he gives everything its hard to imagine why he has a reputation for being shy and reserved private. The russian austrian prodigy made his conducting debut at age 23 and became general music director at the bavarian state opera in 2013. This friday hes taking over the berlin philharmonic the only 1st class orchestra in the world where the musicians choose their own chief conductor to train there will be a very different leader to his predecessor the great simon rattle who thrived in the limelight. To train her for his part plans on letting his conducting do the talking. It looks like it well and indeed doing the talking is a spokesman of the orchestra with me now and of course the principal challenged manning i thank you for coming in a new season a new conduct after the inaugural concerts in the film only on friday Something Else new as well in that the oaks is going to play open air at the Brandenburg Gate exciting times what then exciting to be honest i think the triangle is the Perfect Match for the orchestra and playing at the brandenburg at 29th of beatles than you can imagine this is all special for the musicians and i think i think for berlin a time before meeting frist im the audience and the guys outside its really the perfect us why you see the perfect choice. I think in a way its its always about the chemistry of an orchestra and the chief conductor often has and if this is a Perfect Match then there is special atmosphere to be created and i think for no cause for having a chief conductor where the your audience hears a concert and comes our off the prong served in a different mood then coming into a concert it is what we on the edge making arch electing the chief conductor is very unique to the orchestra because it is done by the orchestra democratically i mean its a bit like election of the new pope without the white smoke in that you into a into a room somewhere and old mobile phones a cost a side and you have to decide who you want to have as the new conducted that this now happened 4 years ago i was amazed rigid but it didnt it didnt work the 1st time you had to go back into the room and do it all again and out comes the result care of for trying to go is everybody in the orchestra now right behind him absolutely absolutely and whats working in the 1st time i mean theres some room for for thoughts of course but i think for the orchestra it was the obvious choice and it still is and weve played some concerts together in the last season already he came to do already 2 years ago and its its the right decision and i think its a doctrine that we can use and be responsible for what you can now many of the orchestra have side projects you apart from being the spokesman apart from the digital concert hall which you founded you all one of the 12 cellists of the ballad philip monica bellina philip monaco must get the name absolutely right not many pieces specifically written for the cello so where does the record. So in the repertoire is there some pieces played played and composed of the. Famous saying when this was the starting point but i think. Nearly 90 percent of the life which was the right insurance use a french music or different stuff ok. And a quick mention of the digital console because you were the founder of it is proved extremely successful why actually though did you get it started to rich and i think the idea was hoarding the Classical Music in the society and also in the media and t. V. Broadcasting of Classical Music of cons its got. To do you say its got down its hard to get the Classical Music in society and having every crumbs that now in the internet streamed throughout the world is fantastic for us all of money thank you very much for coming in will be there on saturday night. At the Brandenburg Gate and have a wonderful concept on friday as well as the inaugural concert with europe for trying thanks so much now in our series 100 german must reach we have a monumental book which was originally written in full pots and the story encompasses a large part of the 20th century its called anniversaries and the. Song wrote it as a kind of dari now women tend to keep diaries most of the men so this male makes is protectionist a woman is more. Dear diary some people think that writing journals isnt for grown up men. Ill show them an entry every day 2000 pages its going to be a literary classic. It takes some serious kohona is to publish a 2000 page diary even if its fiction author over your own sons epic novel anniversaries originally came out in for all you the protagonist because even starts her year long journal and august 19th 67 is a german woman whos been living in new york for 6 years with her daughter marie shes got quite a biography growing up under the nazis then the east german regime ben her escape from the baltic sea to the hudson river she writes down everything she can to pass it along to her daughter. In the beginning you wanted to go back to germany believe me but after just 6 months you stared at the supermarket girls mouth the 2nd time she showed you a 1. 00 bill and asked you if you knew the name of the man on it and you said George Washington and she said do you like him and you said yes maam. Interweaves her personal life with quotes from the New York Times about the vietnam war or the u. S. Civil Rights Movement because he knows diary entries jumped through time and space from new york in the sixtys to her tiny German Village in the twentys and thirtys when the nazis are gaining support author over your own zone lived in new york himself which is where he started writing anniversaries it took him more than 15 years to complete it so one calculated that if you spent a half an hour reading this book every day it would take you half a year to finish it so if you do decide to go for it youll be spending lots of time with great literature and if you actually finish anniversaries youll have something to brag about.
