A local orchestra served up served as a musical backup and the audience that played the jury now this wasnt the first time that until a gas can and paul surface engaged in a musical tete a tete with an audience participation but with each round they are gaining in popularity and of course we were on hand to see who triumphed. These are two very different characters who are competing against each other each with his own distinct way of playing. The first round of the evening in the spot and starts with pianist. Good competitor andreas karen strikes back with a powerful response. Now the public is asked to vote for the first time who came out on top in the first round. Of it yeah thank you thank you very. Relaxation exercises in the afternoon before the concert the two of and battling it out on stage since two thousand and ten. It all started as a festival in hong kong where there was only room for one pianist together they came up with the idea of a duel in which the audience could decide who would return the following year since then theyve toured worldwide so whos better. I think im more popular i have a totally different style and im sure its because of the charm i exude. Off the top of the perhaps i have the more classical way of playing the most russian along cerebral cup. I think i have Something Interesting as a new to bring to the audience we. Have a special individual sound but you know individual and clung to something thats often sought after. The winner of the first round is the first to be accompanied by orchestral instruments in the second round. Oh a poet poet those are my violins you just go over there. For his piece with the strings andrea selected mozart. For a stark contrast pose selected a piece by wagner. And i think he was able to win over the audience with all. Of these spots on the plexi got the clear winner is both. Stuff to Pay Attention to his interpretations how he makes the piece his own also how he performs his facial expressions and how he gels with the other instruments might be good for me its more about the joy of playing in the entire picture that i have when i listen im a musician myself so i know a bit about it i have to decide in the end chills sell during the song i always lease him very carefully and to make my decision. Is the jury so they realize i dont have to be an expert to evaluate what thats about my feelings. After eight years in concerts all over the world its clear to undress karan that the piano battle is also about something else. Democracy when we play in china for example its a fantastic example of the idea that every voice counts. Or we see in different cultures how well the concerts have been accepted and appreciated. Going on. Its now time for the concert grand finale. In the end its the final round thats decisive in determining the victor of the evening there was alters very close up there. Under his care and won over the german public with his charm but he shouldnt rest on his laurels at the next concert in a totally different country the results could be totally different.

Time not aboard a luxury train for a trip that takes in some of scotlands most amazing sights now traveling on the royal scotsman not only takes guests on a luxurious journey through the Scottish Highlands it invites them to take part in the local culture from calling area pleasures to dancing in a kilt but participants on this trip should have deep pockets a three day journey on the train costs about three thousand euro still it is a trip to remember. The kilt is never out of fashion in the scottish capital edinburgh and in order to feel like a local from the us just picking out the bike one for this trip on the royal scotsman. Today is to the royal family the firm has been a family run business for six generations. Of the clerk. I wish i could women. They said there would be a formal evening and we would either be in black or formal killed rather than carrier around with me for the entire vacation i opted to rent from going to be in the country im going to wear their dress. The train is waiting at edinburgh is way station that we sit by general manager michael and. Them on board with a traditional gaelic toast. The train its milled across the the fold of the observation car at the rear of the train has a small sweeping views of the scottish countryside. To treat. A round trip loops around from edinburgh to cut continuing on to any more and then inverness in the heart of the highlands to. The camp you. See towering over. The showers by. The brook a fizzles the Scottish National flower to trace the title. To the first afternoon of the trip begins with a classic afternoon tea of sandwiches and scums enjoyed in the company of fellow travelers in the spacious lounge. The oil scotsman evokes a more elegant era of travel enjoyed a century ago we talking back to tradition when this was the best way of travelling right scotland. Travelling from country state country strings with your own private road we carry just the best of produce from on sea from mad partying on to shooting fishing and shooting do we really. And thats exactly what the forty passengers on board do on they stop at the highland a state of the americas one posse shoots clay pigeons.

One of the oldest operating whisky distilleries in the highlands. Its home to the world famous splendid Scotch Whisky sure this week old. Cameras arent allowed in selling allegedly because alcohol bases pose a danger of explosions we wouldnt want to provoke an untimely end to the trip and the sounds are just. Breathtaking scenery. Its time for drinks in the lounge jeff and the others up dressed to impress others. Now invite you to take up boises in the dining room its just not so thank you i feel the striding to dinner in a kilt takes abuse of getting used to like assuming. You know this culture seven for a start his motto of a reason he prefers regional ingredients and if he doesnt have something in his kitchen he knows where to get it. Its one of. The fishermen who came to the junction give me a couple of plate of. The goal which i thought i thought best pieces to leave the. Malique who gives the berries shooters fresh helps you put some also. Things that. You can get. Some of the oil scotsman dont dine in individual groups they seated at a long table face no seating arrangements that makes it easy to strike up a conversation and feels the convivial mood on board. The train rumbles along the eastern coast to aberdeen and finally south to dun d. The last stop on our journey the evening ends in the observation car where everyone agrees real men wakefields. Feels totally comfortable. Im not sure and were all. Like you are absolutely incorrect place right here. Which is why don jeff composite the chance to dance of being on the platform at dandy a veritable scottish highlight of the journey. The artist in our next report sees the exhibitions as a medium for putting his work in motion be it light sound or images french artist philippe. Perino currently has a show running here in berlin where visitors can expect to see Floating Fish yeast cultures and even an artificial lake that forms rings so what is the concept behind his creations well we met up with the artist to hear about his work and inspiration. Elegantly floating up and down in their surreal aquarium these fish shaped balloons are guided by artificially circulated air. This is one of the pieces that french artist believe probably no has installed in billings volga gropius fell for his summer exhibition. Children let me show you a little gold of a mark of my from the fish a very long time ago in a shop in japan called my room is a fish bowl it was are usually some where newsreel but i thought that was really amusing. And it motivated me to produce these animated fish balloons of all their movements seem very lifelike they dance. Just because i know his animated not just the fish but the entire museum he said an artificial pond installed in the atrium. Lightning flashes and the water eddies as if the winds of a thunderstorm were blowing through the halls of this venerable building. Mines each he realized to what extent this building can become transparent impermeable when you think about torontos works thats something he always does on his exhibitions transform a building into an organism on. The surface of the water ripples as if touched by invisible insects above or sudden currents below. Mechanical devices and technology are used to create fantastic organic forms. The lighting constantly changes ok generally sounds from outside the building are transmitted inside by microphones everything is constantly in motion. And. This is the you see that with this switching between fast and slow between light and dark cycles or at which you have something to do with life as if this exhibition itself were basically a living organism. And thats actually true at least for the high tech bio reactor the pulsing center of the shell. It contains a colony of yeast fed with alcohol and heat attached to electronic measuring tools and provided with data from the exhibition. But i know has been exhibiting the reactor for a few years now for him its a vital organ not the heart though more the viscera. Not to stop. For me the reactor is almost like the intestines because its job is to digest and store and thats exactly what the yeast. That enters data into the system but thats the but it isnt the brain it ferments and thereby produces oxygen or feeds on that sometimes it gets both alcohol and oxygen at the same time. Then one yeast organism feeds another one with oxygen on them there are very different patterns and parameters and all of these parameters are closely connected to what happens in the exhibition and the exhibition becomes a kind of cosmos for them with what was it. Put more simply when the virtual fireflies light up its because the yeast wanted it so the algorithms of their metabolism generate electrical impulses that can be used to raise or lower the Window Blinds or even play the piano. I. Was in the scientist in the interesting thing is the east really is an organism which just like us humans can be subjected to stress tests so theres a reaction thats very close to how the human body also reacts yet not be misread like that. You can imagine that its like a kind of incubate or that radiates out into the exhibition so that you sense how much things are connected to each other i just managed to get busy as im doing a bit and. It takes time to fully appreciate the exhibition sometimes the works appear inscrutable and filippo i know doesnt want to explain his art hell only say that its a single endless process. With some words impossible to say when the works are really finished. You can get close to being done but you never really achieve it. The sound of berlin streets service says the soundtrack to the exhibition. The lines between inside and outside are blurred. One of the installations is made solely of transparent plexiglass you cant see through it with filippo nose work everything is connected as fluid and complex as so much in our lives in the twenty first century.
