of the, the driven by passion, percussion instability by the labor and her energetic performance is made with love the rear and elaborately produce the past as to feeling due from virginia and done by desire germans and their love of cycling. these stories and more coming up on your own, maxed the living bus and leave us passion is percussion. to professional musician discovered

her love of drumming on a beach in bulgaria as a child. and since then has dedicated her life to music, we caught up with her as a solar performance in vienna. the . this is one of germany's rising stars in the classical music world, german, mo, gary and percussionist, vice to leave us for me. life and very, very big energy that brings the most intense emotions from inside of us already and her young age. she's reached the pinnacle of her career. she performs around the world as a soloist. here in vienna's concert house, she's rehearsing for a piece for percussion. by austrian composer friedrich sir in the beginning it was challenging for me, need to find the connection to this music because it's very,

very intense. um, and quite aggressive also, my 1st impression was because of some kind of must clean energy. must calling aggressiveness that, that i don't really feel how, how i will stand on the stage and, and interpret this music with all this convincing and discussion in every conductor martin also appears performing this piece for the 1st time with her. you've been testing the experience to conduct with the the s o s i see. so energized and dramatic and into the music. so it's a matter of trying to get everybody in that same zone. it's really fun, city of us and leave a, comes from a musical family. her father taught her and her siblings to play violin for her. another profession is unimaginable. it's what i always wanted, and i always worked for this and it's just

a dream come true. now that i can play with the most wonderful artist through the most wonderful conductors, and this really amazing pieces that there were only some certain percent of the classical percussionists are female, including one of her role models who's paid the way for her career. the 1st percussion soloist was a woman for the 1st person who went in front of the orchestra and was evelyn glennie. she's still premier in works and yeah, she was the door opener back in the concert hall. the doors are beginning to open for tonight's concert. i practice every day. musicians have actually no holidays and i practiced all day probably to up to 10 hours. playing percussion definitely keeps me in shape each probably 3 times more than all my friends around me. and i still can't get enough it's. we use our whole body when

we play for a movie, practice is up until the audience takes their seats. a career highlight occurred in 2023 when she received the prestigious leonard bernstein toward worth 10000 years money. she's already spent on some of the instruments used in tonight's performance . the yes fantastic. and the audience reaction you can feel it was on fire and she's such a not just a wonderful percussionist, but such a performer was amazing. it's when you're in the flow and your loving every, every moment and, and you feel, now's the time you had the rehearsals and foot in the concert to you always give

like 50 percent more and yeah, it was, it was amazing. was is very intense. and what does the future hold? half a lot to finance of for new pieces. what keeps the composers for different defense projects like for of course, for orchestral, a lot the new works are waiting for us in the future. and nice concepts and product with that confidence, dressing leave is showing the world how she marches to the beach of her own drum. the you think you know about every type of cost to out there? well, we've discovered another you probably haven't heard of yet. you won't find these noodles in any supermarket in the world. they're called

a suit pending day. the threats of god. these noodles are sacred, aka. what makes them special is that very few people can make them. why is that your lead thumbs up at the end? so it takes a lot of patience and will power to learn it. well, if you want to, if you think you can learn this here in a snapshot and then master the technique to all done that, it'd be, you'd better not come up and going practices into the menu on. but there's just one city where these noodles are made. up in the mountains on the italian island of sardinia and the mediterranean. here, 2 families guard the secret of this cost. but one man is willing to show us how to prepare it. house and welcome lucca florida is vinnie. i'll show you how to make soup and in day or is it the ingredients that make it so special? water, salt, semolina, they're pretty simple actually. however, you know,

provide really plenty thought that the 1st law you have to do a lot of testing. you need the right proportion, the g should i say more law say, and you have to understand how the symbol lean, that reacts to the humidity or heat vc makeup of because it can absorb a lot of water or released. so again, i don't know if this depending on the temperature is the fit to be the last shot. the video is worked by hand not using a machine while needing it. luka can feel if it has the right consistency and the last specific there's more to take into consideration. the question and i think we this is the phase. when many people make a mistake, if they think the dough is done now. but okay. from that gent that been such, you know, if i could, but it has to be really smooth and keep getting needed. so there was

a lot of to the cavities when he gets a lot of work. it's quite tough dumped a lot. you can see within your elbows to go through because you know, we lift the dose, stand for a while, and then a few hours. it's ready. next comes the real challenge. how many strings can look a pull from this role? what's the job one? okay. what now to last 4 of 816, then 32642100. 28. 200. 56, c. a number of threads doubles each time. a wicker wheel is used to drive the cost of threads. it takes a long time to learn the technique, and there is some extra challenge to it. we're going to see that you have to do the beginning in the end as fast as possible. because while i'm still working, the sto here, it's already starting to dry seal and you can't stick fresh dough to dry though. i

said won't hold and shut back on the 3 layers of threads form a sort of match at the end. the . it's shortly looks impressive. but how are you suppose to eat these noodles any way the yeah, the during the course of in the fall temperatures, it takes a few days for it all to dry. i should hear i have dried yes for the day you i made a few days ago for the new and i'm bringing it up now. it will probably get into a new file and get more specific time to watch. after all that careful crafting it's simply broken apart from faxes. that's part of the art that we have to break it into. pieces so we can eat it 50 bucks for federal employees. but this cost

isn't served on just any ordinary day and sardine not fast. the constant is a good time and dedicated to st. francis and when we celebrate and twice a year in water, a mission all yet. so. oh, no one makes it on a different day. lockbox that is just pasta is linked to our religion and spirituality really joined their religion. but how does this specialty actually taste in the end? and how's it served? it gets cooked for a few minutes and this mutton brought before lots of sardinian cheeses, added pecorino. so in the end, it's a sort of noodles to so for the it has a strong taste and from the mutton bravo, super to that you can feel so much of work has gone into a spend that makes it even better to see. my mother always said you should enjoy. so for the day, like any other meal, with respect in due on what are the people,

anyone who wants to try so feeling day with themselves, needs a lot of luck. you can't buy these special noodles and stores not even in sardinia . just one more reason this sardine and specialty is so extraordinary. when it comes to banking, germany is way ahead of other countries. but dw reporter shop none. so data didn't know how to write a bike when she moved here from india 7 years ago. it wasn't long, however, before she took up the challenge. are you even doing that? if you don't know how to write it by claiming when it comes to this new episode of meet them yesterday, we talk about the gentleman on back, which may or may not include people watching to find out before moving to germany, i had no idea how important cycling was determined, don't blame me because everyone always told me that germany is the ultimate land of cars. rachel's clause is still very true. but the now let's say that today germany

has around 60000000 registered water vehicles, whereas that are 83000000 bites here. which means statistically, almost every gentleman has a by today, who quoted by germany is one of europe stop 5 bike friendly countries. also according to service, the gentleman city of minster is the was 2nd most bike from the city behind utrecht in the netherlands. the city has hundreds of kilometers of vice plus and state of the art infrastructure developed just for by a gentleman. cycling does more than a whole b or a sport. it is a life. maybe that's why a 97 percent of german for me know how to write it by. and so the 3 percent who don't, they're gonna put you on a do not even as a does. this is great for me because i never learned how to ride to basically back home in india. so now after living in germany for 7 years, i'm finally learning how to ride advice. i think that's when we're at the german cyprus club. i took a to do cycling course for adults here. and not only knowing how to balance myself

on a bike, but also some important sites mean in terms of like finding the perfect bike for you. reading the correct to the risk using proper life. checking if everything on your bike was and reading the street signs correctly, but don't expect to take your bike out on the streets the very next day. it's not that easy. we're almost there. but why did you almost slow bicycle so much? she for many reasons, i like being out in the fresh air and it's healthy and you want me to add on to. so you can also quickly get to the woods and up the hills office. it's like the arts and doing something for yourself. and you don't have to look for a parking space. i'm fine of what i like about cycling is that i can get it from a to be easy, but i do support at the same time small i like riding around on this whole it's also good for the environment. so i'm, we don't have to buy gas in the parking tickets and so on, something that i think cycling is really good. it's been all funded. i get it. durham is really loves terabytes. but the gentleman stay on the other hand has been reducing its cycling budget over the past few years. that's why the gentleman

cyclists association. there's fees a lot of room for improvement business vision. essentially, we need to improve the infrastructure. we have far too few backpack and the ones we have are not white enough. i can or they're not continuous. those. those are the biggest shortcomings, just to improve this, why we need major investment just for much, much more funding for cycling infrastructure. and we also need investment in research and development because to establish what biking in general can contribute to society of, to the transport transition device and whereby capacity to be built in october. and we currently only have around 400000000 for cycling. if we combine all the budget, yeah, the goal is a 1000000000 years a year for cycling. that is the problem, yada, yada, as so why did i learn cycling not only is biking cheap, fast and eco friendly, extra me. it also is a sense of equality and control. here in my neighborhood, in germany, i always see women of all ages cycling no matter what time of the day or night it is or how far they are traveling. i see them be confident, feels secure,

right on both sides. and i also wanted to experience that. so this is how i face my fears and finding learners to psycho am i to confident after this? not a 100 percent right now, but i'm hopeful the how does it decide in your country the needs of people making your red top speeds? just follow also on instagram experience, lifestyle. traditions, dining and the on set along with the local people. so you will get up close and

to shop, to success at the power stock exchange by selling shares to bill visit us canal. and with a new money, he bought the hopefully to build his a private home. nice. no, not bad. at all, the steps on the phone started died in 1902, she had no children. the castle was sold of several times and transformed into a summer resort. a christian school and even on up to college in the forty's they, i don't see the school move in here for how long they were here. and what exactly happened? well, for about 4 years until the end of the 2nd world war and well, there were some fortune to 6 a year boys appeared with the military training. and for this he has indoctrination as well as you can imagine. we don't have much information about that time because

for the holidays, some eye witnesses who could tell you what happened to your so they threw away everything that destroyed all the fields and all that because of the main entrance and the stained glass windows were damaged in war war 2, after the war, the castle was used as a shut there for refugees. and then as a training center for the read authorities, it was supposed to be demolished in the early 19 sixty's. the counsel of change your own or several times and then it was abandoned 10 years, right. tell us about as well as kind of little place, very effective for the 1st people dealing with drugs. this kind of all can take to both realities of old fashioned. nobody was interested in, so that's the reason why it's to them to, for 10 years, because nobody was willing to buy that and to use that. this was

a wonderful venue for romantic 1st consumers and all that. yes. in 1971 will stand up into a polished be not, but doesn't books and had extensive refurbishment of work done. she was well known for his fancy cars, crew keep personality and eccentric taste in interior design the going from here. what do we have here? yes, sitting on a really so yeah, i think so, but one of the pieces of furniture from the time of pools financial the not and to well, he always told the visitors of us that this was the throne of the week of tools.

but of course, that's what it was definitely, and that's the reason why our guest has the chance to sit on the throne and feel like a queen or a can we head to the kitchen. it was restored by the state of north drawing westphalia, which has been in charge of the head board students. 1989. great attention was paid to every last detailed oh god. oh my god. is a kid. next gabby shows us some secret places inside the castle, like the servants their case, and the rest of the building to it underwent 30000000 euros worth of restoration work. highlights include the ground marbles 3rd case, and many beautiful are works. few with paintings of news. this room was once the gentleman's chamber. i saw the costs of itself is

a mix of different styles. it is interesting to see how each owner left their mark here. and you, have you ever visited a castle, tell us which ones the, the smoking is harmful? no question about it, but smoking a pipe is one of the oldest habits and traditions in the world. although the demand for pipes has been declining for a long time, the craft of making them is still alive and in some places, such as in the french town of sunsets, where one of the last 5 makers, besides the tobacco pipe plays a vital role in the different french town of centerville is being considered the world capital of pipe making since the 19th century since 18. 65, the attorney years, you know, has been making pods that are known worldwide. the, the bus chapel is a mazda pipe makeup. we took over the company in 2006. the

you are telling me that this is where we turn the head of the pipe. cuz the basic material is, would get a different part is finished on each machine we produce in the series, which means i set up each machine to make a specific model like this one. this is the 1st time you end up from this or lock. i make the pipe bowl the inside and the outside value. i don't so the, this is a job with the chips flying the woods condition and quantity play a dishonesty pro. every time is too simple. the system that i've seen this is a root of a tree. heather, so it's the only one type should be made up, but because it doesn't burn easily and has no taste. our pipes are made of that. what was, will probably kill them we it takes a total of 50 production steps to turn it into upon the 10 years, you know,

for juices around 2000 of them to you to best chapel exports. a 3rd of them to the usa, the sold in france and the food in the rest of the fedex . we work with what we have, who gets important the wood blocks are well cottage, so we have as little waste as possible how long they've been over the history of the pop is represented throughout the town. it's importance has greatly diminished over time and sub has the demand about $3000.00 times on display. and this includes pipe museum, including many rarities hancock specimens. museum director antoine grandma is this. so upon may come some of that done. yeah, until p is the we are the last company with more than 20 employees that produces around to $50000.00 pipes a year. okay. but it's known to mean event on demand

a vendor. but this is ridiculously few compared to the early 20th century, my boss when san claude was still producing 30000000 pipes a year. and well, if i get caught me going to fall back into best samples after around half now the time is finished, then it's enforced with the company stem, the pipe and he was optimistic about the future if he's croft, since i suck him into something, i don't believe this craft is threatened with extinction, huh. we also train young people on the pipe is an object that people like it may not be as fashionable as it was a long time ago, but it still finds favor to on the be keeping the pipe has survived the centuries and some variations and will most likely continue to find myers in saint cloud and beyond the hours that we wrap up another edition of your max. we hope you enjoyed the show. be sure to follow us on social media for
