MARCHE MIXTAPES

Dear all,

writing this as I’m taking the train along the coast of Italy’s second-most-overlooked region, Le Marche (pretty hotels!), on my way to get some final bike rides in and hopefully at least one more half marathon along the shore.

[full Substack in my bio]

Definitely helping with that is @jessgillamsax, who has just dropped her new album SHINE which is a sensational mixtape combining 900 years of music, ranging from compositions by Hildegard von Bingen to an arrangement of CPE Bach’s Flute concerto and contemporary works such as the title track. You’ll get instantly addicted to it!

@francescotristanoofficial was in top form at his “Bach & Beyond” show at Theater Basel last weekend which I had the pleasure to co-present.

The city itself I really recommend hospitality-wise, too: got a good night’s sleep in the cozy design hotel @volkshausbasel (designed by the Elbphilharmonie’s architects Herzog & de Meuron) …

… after our post-concert hang at @camparibarbasel …

… where you get superb ambiance, rich Apéro Plättli and Negronis in all their forms.

‹Francesco Tristano - Bach&Beyond› - am 10.10. 🎹

Wo endet Klassik und wo beginnt elektronische Musik? Für @francescotristanoofficial stellt sich diese Frage nicht. Der luxemburgische Pianist, Komponist und Produzent bewegt sich mit selbstverständlicher Leichtigkeit zwischen Konzertsaal und Club, zwischen Johann Sebastian Bach und Techno, zwischen Flügel, Synthesizer und elektronischen Sounds.
Bach ist dabei seit Beginn seiner Karriere ein Fixpunkt und eine unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle. Tristano interessiert sich für die rhythmische Kraft dieser Musik, für ihren Groove und ihre erstaunliche Nähe zu musikalischen Formen der Gegenwart. Am Klavier und mit Electronics lässt er diese Verbindungen hörbar werden und bringt Werke aus mehreren Jahrhunderten in einen unmittelbaren Dialog.

Dabei geht es ihm nicht darum, Klassik und elektronische Musik einfach miteinander zu vermischen. Tristano denkt Musik vielmehr als einen gemeinsamen Klangraum: Epochen, Genres und Stile begegnen sich, überlagern sich und eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf scheinbar Vertrautes.

Am 10. Oktober ist Francesco Tristano erstmals im Theater Basel mit seinem Programm ‹Bach & Beyond› zu erleben. Er nimmt das Publikum mit auf eine Reise über die vermeintlichen Grenzen musikalischer Genres hinaus.

Präsentiert in Zusammenarbeit mit @davidsdearest .

⏱️ 10.10., Grosse Bühne

Impromptu Invites

Dear all,  Swipe for my current recommendations or read it in full on Substack ..

The Invite is hilarious and already a hit! A situational, penelopecruz-ing comedy at its finest, directed by Olivia Wilde, who also stars alongside Seth Rogen and Edward Norton. It marked my two-month-streak of going to the cinema (after Odyssey in August) - something we all should do a lot more often! - and I also consider it the legitimate successor to Carnage in the genre Kammerspiel.
[Note to self: re-watch Carnage and book a trip to beautiful @solomeoofficial to watch the play by Yasmina Reza.]

Obviously, Oktoberfest is the main attraction in Munich right now - impromptu alternatives are as follows: Tonight @chenreiss at Kammerspiele and ...

… on October 2nd, @francescotristanoofficial returns to @bergson. More recommended experiences on my website!

Still flabbergasted it took me two years after its release to properly discover @jakub.jozef.orlinski’s amazing program #LetsBarock!

Also, would also kindly ask any audience members of Semele at the Bayerische Staatsoper to report back how many backflips he pulls off throughout the production. These days, I tend to plan my personal concert & opera outings based on the density of surprises in the production and what happens on and also off stage around the musical part. taken in Munich, Germany by @davidsdearest
