Geschichten aus der Geschichte

Der Nino aus Wien

His songs reflect what the Viennese feel: in nonchalant style, Nino from Vienna has made dialect singing socially acceptable again, and has transported the Viennese song from traditional taverns to the trendy club scene. Not only has he accumulated a large fan base, he has also become a role model for many successful Austrian musicians who are now breathing new life into the genre. He just proved this in spring 2024 as part of »Die Besten aus Wien«, when André Heller brought together the who’s who of this lively scene on the Elbphilharmonie stage. Now Nino from Vienna is back in Hamburg with his new album »endlich Wienerlieder«. The album is dedicated to his grandfather, a Wienerlied singer, and pays homage to great traditions. As charming as ever, he sings about »the entire universe of human existence. As different as these songs are, they all show a lot of feeling: Nino, it seems, doesn’t give a shit. He just does it. And the result is usually good« (Die ZEIT). He never pretends to be something he isn’t. His stage name is the best example: Nino Mandl, who grew up on the outskirts of the Austrian capital, is Der Nino aus Wien: Nino from Vienna. Someone who sings about the banalities of everyday life and turns them into great music – simply and authentically, without ever exaggerating.

Der Herr der Ringe & der Hobbit – The concert

Peter Jackson’s world-famous film celebrates its 20th anniversary! The music of the hobbits and orcs comes to the concert hall stage in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra. The menacing sounds of Mordor and the Black Riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the Elves – the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth. Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies »The Lord of the Rings« and »The Hobbit« and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for it. His motifs are elementally touching when the ring unfolds its power and corrupts the bearer of all power: a parable with great contemporary relevance. Accompanied by violins, trumpets and timpani, the ensemble, soloists and choir whisk the audience away to the Shire, through the landscape of Rohan and up to Mount Doom. The melodic tones of flutes and violins are supported by green landscapes and gloomy scenarios on the screen in the background. Animations specially developed for the production add an extra dimension to this symphonic event. »The last Goodbye« and »Far over the Misty Mountains cold« are performed by soloists with powerful voices who add a personal touch to the well-known songs. »The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert« is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Full of sound, full of atmosphere, unique! With state-of-the-art technology, the Cinema Festival Symphonics will take Middle-earth fans and fantasy lovers on a musical journey through all of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit films. The impressive light and screen animations flow harmoniously with the legendary melodies and enhance the atmosphere of each individual song. The ensemble celebrates a unique sound that fully immerses the audience in the world of fantasy and provides many goosebump moments!

Aus meinem Leben

Der Tscheche Bedřich Smetana hat der Musikwelt viele große Werke geschenkt – auch in der Kammermusik. Zu seinem 200. Geburtstag breitet das Hába Quartett ein Füllhorn seiner wundervollen Kompositionen aus. Von böhmischer Melodiefreude sind sie erfüllt wie von heimischen Tänzen und Romantik. Von zwei von der Schönheit der heimischen Landschaft und der unverfälschten Musikalität ihrer Bewohner kündenden Violin-Duos führt der Bogen dabei über die mitreißenden beiden Streichquartette Smetanas bis hin zu einer Klavierquintett-Adaption seiner wohl berühmtesten Komposition: »Die Moldau«.Konzertdauer: ca. 110 Minuten – inklusive Pause
