since you see touch smell you could you would you believe and finally taste the food. and in our series 100 german must reads a family story striking parallels between 1930 s. germany and 19 sixty's race toward america. now this friday a brand new season of concerts kicks off in the ballin film monique with the arrival of the belle enough in the morning because new principal conductor carol patrolling from the classical world will be watching of course as the orchestra is considered one of the world's great and patrolling co follows in the footsteps of the likes of habit from carry on how they are bought and simon rattle i'll be chatting tool kit spokesman and principal cellist or enough money after this look at the orchestras new maestro.

petrenko that intensity is breathtaking. when he's leading in the orchestra he gives everything it's hard to imagine why he has a reputation for being shy and reserved in private. the russian austrian prodigy made his conducting debut at age 23 and became general music director at the bavarian state opera in 2013. this friday he's taking over the berlin philharmonic the only 1st class orchestra in the world where the musicians choose their own chief conductor for trying to will be a very different leader to his predecessor the great simon rattle who thrived in the limelight. to turn pro for his part plans on letting his conducting do the talking.

it looks like it well and indeed doing the talking is a spokesman of the orchestra with me now and of course the principal challenged olaf manning i thank you for coming in a new season a new conductor after the inaugural concerts in the film only on friday something else new as well in the the oaks is going to play out from there the brandenburg gate exciting times was then exciting to be honest i think the perfect match for the orchestra and playing at the barn but back to our 9th of beatle thing you can imagine this is all special for the musicians and i think i think for berlin i think of for me to this time the audience and the guys outside it's really the perfect us why you see the perfect choice. i think in a way it's it's always about the chemistry of an ok guy and that she's going to go

for me because and if this is the perfect match then there is special atmosphere to be created and i think for no cause for having a chief conductor aware of your audience here's a concept and comes our of a concept and it's different than coming into a concert this is what we all need each making arch electing the chief conductor is very unique to the orchestra because it is done by the orchestra democratically i mean it's a bit like election of a new pope without the white smoke in that you into a into a room somewhere and old mobile phones a cost a side and you have to decide who you want to have as the new conducted that this now happened 4 years ago i was amazed rigid but it didn't it didn't work the 1st time you have to go back into the room and do it all again and out comes the result

care of for trying is everybody in the orchestra now right behind him absolutely absolutely and what's working in the 1st time i mean there's some room for for thoughts of course but i think for the orchestra it was the obvious choice and it still is and we've played some concerts together in the last season already you know he came to do already 2 years ago and it's it's the right decision and i think it's a luxury that we can decide and be responsible for what you can now many of the orchestra have side projects you apart from being the spokesman apart from the digital concert hall which you founded you all one of the 12 cellists of the berlin film monica bellina philip monaco must get the name absolutely. not many pieces specifically written for china so where does the repartee. so in the repertoire eyes and there are some pieces played played and composed of the.

same thing when this was the starting point but i think. nearly 90 percent of the life which was arranged rooms using french music or different stuff ok. and a quick mention of the digital console because you were the founder of it is proved extremely successful why actually though did you get it started to rich and i think the idea was hoarding the classical music in the society and also in the media and t.v. broadcasting of classical music of cons it's got cd sales got down it's hard to get the classical music hoot in society and having every crohn's that now in the internet streamed throughout the world is fantastic for us all of money thank you very much for coming in i should be there on saturday night. at the brandenburg gate and have

a wonderful concert on friday as well as the inaugural concert with europe for trying thanks so much now in our series 100 german must reach we have a monumental book which was originally written in full pots and the story encompasses a large part of the 20th century it's called anniversaries and the author. wrote it as a kind of diary now women tend to keep diaries most of the men so this mail makes is protectionist a woman is more. dear diary some people think that writing journals isn't for grown up man. i'll show them an entry every day 2000 pages it's going to be a literary classic. and . it takes some serious kohona as to publish a 2000 page diary even if it's fiction author over your own son's epic novel

anniversaries originally came out in for all you the protagonist because you know cusp starts her year long journal in august 19th 67 is a german woman who's been living in new york for 6 years with her daughter marie she's got quite a biography growing up under the nazis then the east german regime ben her escape from the baltic sea to the hudson river she writes down everything she can to pass it along to her daughter. in the beginning you wanted to go back to germany believe me but after just 6 months you stared at the supermarket girl's mouth the 2nd time she showed you a $1.00 bill and asked you if you knew the name of the man on it and you said george washington and she said do you like him and you said yes ma'am. interweaves her personal life with quotes from the new york times about the vietnam war or the u.s. civil rights movement because he knows diary entries jumped through time and space

from new york in the sixty's to her tiny german village in the twenty's and thirty's when the nazis are gaining support author over your own zone lived in new york himself which is where he started writing anniversaries it took him more than 15 years to complete it so one calculated that if you spent a half an hour reading this book every day it would take you half a year to finish it so if you do decide to go for it you'll be spending lots of time with great literature and if you actually finish anniversaries you have something to brag about. the kitchen. theory design studio in london designs what it calls immersive food for all the senses it's not just about taste and presentation by can say mission star restaurant touching smelling and even hearing also involved working with an experimental psychologist top chef joseph youssef is making the dining experience

a feast for all the senses. do you mushrooms taste more like they came from the forests when they served on a wooden platter. is so all they ate now out of a shell sweet also. is this a sauce or is it abstract. at the london restaurant kitchen theory menus are designed to speak to all of our senses and to experiment with how sound color or even the shape of a food can influence eating experience each time we eat as a multi-sensory activity but it depends on how much mindfulness perhaps is going towards that petfinder required for the 1st course a plate of jellyfish chef just a few serve is a way that many people find jellyfish off putting and yet. it has more than a journey it's kind of texture it has a kind of bite to read not something that my team and i discovered when we 1st tried it and it had a kind of safety for crunch to remove all this is actually really really present.

ok but what's it like with the sounds you hear it. when you eat it you can hear the noises making when you're eating it but will say in hoxton you an. experimental psychologists child spence is head of the cross my lab at oxford university he's here to study diana's experiences. too much testing in the science lab it's not like really getting stick in people's brains galaxy which part of the brain lights up you can find things out. nothing like a social dining experience to try and catch people in the wilds much as possible back in the wild the main course squid resort to is served with calligraphic designs projected on to the table does that impact its taste intensity. or a fact that your brain can't quite make sense of what it's seeing what's the food what's

the alt which was leading the other is kind of attention capturing say more like he's pay attention to everything it. turns out the more people really focus on what they're reading most places they take him. but the biggest shock comes last with desire as ships where interested generally in this idea of emotional engagement through food how can you kind of engage people in a kind of stimulate certain emotions and one emotion that we thought was kind of under rated a dining experience is. a. fish. would you eat it it's the glass shot even if it is made of sugar. such a different texture and you get something very kind of hard as you can hear it does sound like the crunching of glass the 1st mouthful was did shock me but now that i

know it's ok. one thing's for sure all those who die in a kitchen theory leave you with a whole new awareness of how different sensory experiences come together when we think. of it i think our senses might get a bit confused anyway that's all from arts and culture.
