rebel against the mighty google news that matters. d.w. made for mines. today don't miss our highlights. program online w dot com highlights. our want to welcome to another exciting week of euro max i'm your host meghan leave from train travel to moving ard we've got lots of ground to cover on today's show here's a look at what's coming up. the winner is the join us for a life we piano battle here in germany. all or take a luxury train ride through the scottish highlands. i'll find

luxury say warrants is a playground for the rich and famous. we kick off the show with a piano competition but this one is probably like no other you have ever seen the last weekend in the western german city of these botton two musicians took to the stage together to battle it out on their respective instruments a local orchestra served up served as a musical backup and the audience played the jury now this wasn't the first time that can and paul service 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 spartan starts with pianist tells c.b.s. . his competitor and risk 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. for 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 at 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 they've toured worldwide so who's better. i think i'm more popular i have a template different style and i'm sure it's because of the charm i exude. off the top of the perhaps i have the more classical way of playing the most russian or low cerebral cup. i think i have something interesting as a new to bring to the audience. have a special individual sound but you know individual and clung to something that's 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 with it he was able to win over the audience with all. of these

on the black sea got the clear winner is both. thank you so i 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. you get from here it's more about the joy of playing in the entire picture that i have when i listen i'm a musician myself so i know a bit about it i have to decide in the end to. sell during the song i always lease him very carefully and to make my decision les paul is the jury so they realize i don't have to be an expert to evaluate what it's about my feelings. after eight years and concerts all over the world it's clear to undress karan that the piano battle is also about something else. democracy when we play in china for example it's a fantastic example of the idea that every boy scouts. or we see in different

cultures how well the concerts have been accepted and appreciated. going on. it's now time for the concert grand finale. in the end it's the final round that's decisive in determining the victory of the evening the result is very close up there. underway as karen won over the german public with his charm but he shouldn't rest on his laurels at the next concert in a totally different country of the results could be totally different. we are now to a brief round up of other cultures stories making headlines including a six hundred year old celebration in portugal but first. how he would is remaking a german box office hit on that coming up at the top of today's express.

time not aboard a luxury train for a trip that takes in some of scotland's 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 euros still it is a trip to remember. the kilt is never a fashion in the scottish capsule edinburgh and in order to feel like a local from the us is picking out the bike plan for this trip on the royal scotsman. he's gone to. today is to the royal family has been a family run business six generations. and with the

close very dashing i was like when. they said it would be a formal evening and we would either be in black or formal killed or rather than carry your tuxedo around with me for the entire vacation i opted to rent you from going to be in the country i'm going to wear their dress. the train is waiting at edinburgh is waving the station yes we sit by general manager michael and. them on board with a traditional gaelic toast. the train it's molded across the whole of the observation car at the rear of the train has a small dick offering sweeping views of the scottish countryside. to treat. a round trip loops around from edinburgh to cut continuing on to every morning and then inverness in the heart of the highlands to visit your friend.

in the tiny room it's just not so thank you thank you striding to dinner in a kilt takes a piece of getting used to like a. book in this culture seven for stars his motto the reason he prefers regional ingredients and if he doesn't have something in his kitchen he knows where to get it. for. as that of a child she can get me a couple locals full plate of. the go to richard but the best pieces to leave a colleague who gives barely shooters is fresh helps you put some also. things that you know. we can get. from the royal scotsman don't dine in individual groups they seated at long tables 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 to the last stop on our journey the evening ends in the observation car where everyone agrees room and wakefield's . feels totally comfortable. i'm not sure it works. but i feel absolutely incorrect makes one here. which is why don jeff composite the chance to dance a dream on the platform at dandy a veritable scottish highlight of the journey. the artist in our next report sees 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 we showed you a little film of our markets are from the fish a very long time ago in a shop in japan called my room is a fishbowl it was a few people to me were material for i thought that was really amusing. and it motivated me to produce these animated fish to lose their movements seem very lifelike they dance. just because i know has 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 fender storm 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 toronto's works that's something he always does in 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 have something to do with life as if this exhibition itself were basically a living organism. and that's 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. filipe i know has been exhibiting the reactor for a few years now for him it's a vital organ not the heart though more the viscera. but this stopped. for me the reactor is almost like the intestines because its job is to digest and store and that's exactly what the yeast us that enters data into the system but the but it isn't 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 in the exhibition becomes a kind of cosmos for them with what was it. put more simply when the virtual fireflies light up it's 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. this is the fantasy in the interesting thing is the east really is an organism which just like us humans can be subjected to stress tests so there's a reaction that's very close to how the human body also reacts yet not be made me think that meant he copied you can imagine that it's like a kind of incubate or that radiates out into the exhibition and so that you sense how much things are connected to each other i get busy as of doing

a bit and i thought what is it. it takes time to fully appreciate the exhibition sometimes the works appear inscrutable and filippo i know doesn't want to explain his art he'll only say that it's a single endless process. with someone or it's 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 can't see through it. with filippo knows work everything is connected as fluid and complex as so much in our lives in the twenty first century. time now to take

a trip and one of our viewers from south america bibiana kano from colombia wrote in to us wanting to know more about sorts of land so to honor this request we're going to head to one of that country's most exclusive resorts same arts in the alps now normally this place is bustling during the winter months where skiers and snowboarders whose main priority is really to see and be seen but what about in the summertime when the snow melts while i traveled there recently to find out what else is on offer for tourists during the warmer seasons. this is the playground of the rich and famous st moritz in switzerland located in the heart of the alps here luxury meets the international jet set. but the traditional side of switzerland is also evident as with the twelfth century

leaning tower of the st morris church. modern structures like this apartment building by british architect norman foster are also making their mark. same words is mostly known as a winter sports destination but summertime has lots to offer tourists as well especially those wanting a bit of an adventure. paths that are normally covered in snow serve as hiking and mountain biking trails during the summer months steve is a former swiss banker turned professional mountain bike guy. he brings groups of all ages up here. but this isn't a sport for the faint of heart. trails here there are varying degrees of trails here from rocky to difficult to manmade so-called flow trails which everyone can do but you still have to know how

to mountain bike it's not enough just to be able to ride a bike like in a city here and getting bored is king and in summer mountain biking is gaining as queen mountain bike emits a queen. kite in windsurfing are also big draws in summer here on late civil plunges seven kilometers from st moritz surfers of all ages and nationalities can put their medal to the test on the water. alex kanye left his native france twelve years ago to live here and teach windsurfing he says the conditions are better than anywhere else although today the wind isn't as strong as it normally is. using and we're not so far from the beach there aren't big waves the wind is always present but there are different corners

of the lake where the wind is stronger or even weaker so here are the conditions for every level from beginner to professional. a visit to say morris would not be complete without chocolate. so it's. one of the oldest and best known cafes is countries are you located in the heart of st moritz is old town it dates back to eight hundred ninety four and is a popular gathering place for both locals and tourists as the by who owns this data and this cafe the most popular item is the not cake it's famous and lots of international guests buy it because it's the specialty of this region when we took collab there in terms of chocolate we have special praise. or the truffles without alcohol or some with alcohol of course we have many different

kinds of chocolates it just depends on the taste of the customer. and there's no better way to top off the days than with a massage at one of st moritz is a luxury hotels there are five of them within about a four kilometer radius. marinello negri has been working as a massage therapist in badr its policy hotel for six years. she's a specialist in are you afraid i'm astonished. that i especially anybody with an income. who's next. to find and find all of them. of course the same or says fresh mountain

water and air are also great ways to purify the body and soul. and unlike most of the attractions here these views don't cost a thing. and with that we were out of this edition of the show but before we go i want to let you in on this week's draw for an exclusive goodie bag of euro max souvenirs now we would like to know how you watch the show on your t.v. or on your mobile device just go to our website and let us now our that we're out of time so for me and the rest of the crew here as always thanks for tuning and seeing and mom. next time on your own max country karen is a wizard dexterity games. she can solve a rubik's cube in thirty seconds he even set
