a very different cuba than it was one year ago because of the pandemic but i'm really looking forward to seeing my cuban musician friends from here and finding out how they have spent this last year. january 2021 a much quieter havana than usual facemasks a compulsory everywhere long lines for food a total lack of tourists and absolutely no live music on the streets. i'm back here for a concert with the have an ally see him orchestra to celebrate our project mozart the mambo the concert will now be streamed without an audience but we are simply happy to play together again and meet with the. conductor jose antonio mendez padrón known as pepe arrived in style for the 1st rehearsal. r r. well

. i said oh yeah today i feel good because we are hassling but otherwise we're all stressed because of the situation here and everywhere else. and there have been movements off but if it really is terrible that you begin to value things differently sometimes we have so much work on so many concerts that we will exhausted but i think this is helped us value more what we have like being able to play music than you know whether most remember to have a chance to see each other. then here one year after mixer team member is the best

like how they bring you know it's necessary for the life. i mean we need it too but i have a feeling cuba is very special if it is in your bodies you need to dance you need to sing you need to actually how did you feel in this time where you couldn't play them and. merely sent. because we felt every day that this energy was missing his passion we have plenty. enough several projects we have the orchestra with pepe we have a string orchestra with maestro. we have our cortez. every week we had 2 to 3 concerts. and had nothing to do except practice. simply. during the lockdown have you won the talent to combine it with an online cuban music competition with his version of bach's shack on i had no live music yet here

in havana so i asked how do you know if you would maybe play something for me up yes or at least we hear something live you think. and then ok at the moment we have nothing to do suddenly everything's counted again but we have the state salary so we're very lucky. c to. union the charismatic saxophone star of mozart lives in a suburb of havana. yeah

and look for. sarah and friends adios have time to leave. them. we're meeting up with a russian german pianist ships. the small classical music. oldish says among the world's best known young pianists she's played in major concert halls and prestigious festivals. thanks. ships' has recorded 11 albums. in 2017 she caused a stir when she released an album of piano covers of tracks by german techno band

scooter. we catch up with her at a recording studio in cologne we want to know how she feels about the distinction between popular and classical music and what made her record scooter songs. the band's quotes are asked. crimmins person i to do this album and this should be something critical to our songs but the rest do what you want we started to create. piano pieces very different from what scooter are doing. in but the melodies are recognizable and after the album was released people were asking me. things like you are classical pianist you're playing classical music and now you're doing something new why are you doing something new this is nothing new

basically what we did there it was taking a melody and doing something new creative with that like a very transcription and this is something the composers did in the last 5 centuries. and this knowledge. was originally compulsory 1929 in france what we did with this melody. like with. 'd

old piano lovers all pianists and all the piano concerto number one pitcher called ski the 3rd movement which is the famous beginning. and this is a very famous ukraine and folk song which is in russian called region we divide and that means iran come out let's dance together and then they were dancing all together and you see the most famous. piano concerto which is performed today on all the stages and so one is basically for song ration where you can say this is 50 percent folk music i realized how wrong we use that the word

classical music a precautious piano sonata which. this is not classical music this is modern music or if we talk about. this is romantic music this is not classical music and. this. this is classical music. i do play ready. i do play classical music but i play also romantic and contemporary music and also

some viral congress on pieces. different melodies are going from different centuries from different countries and how they inspire different artists into something new but in the end all of this. doesn't really matter because what music is about. you will never forget the small one that made you cry and you will never forget the moment they gave your goals bombs or make you have the special memory of a special emotion because because we never forget emotions. and this is what all those us about this is what music is about.

for lots more emotion and great music this is her you tube chant d.w. classical music catch fish d.w. present brilliant young musicians taking the concert halls and opera houses of the world by storm as well as the reigning stars we all know and love. d.w. classical music is attractive 5000000 visit if you visit to find lots to keep you in thrall from portraits of a standing musicians to fool and concerts. you find award winning t. w. documentaries about beethoven we have lots on him mozart verde bucknor and other famous composers was. one

playlists is entitled music a maestro and is presented by the mexican conductor along drugged up. in our next report meat company heard to copenhagen for a performance for the danish national symphony orchestra with a work that is rather unusual and start from music. in that that would be magog that did that get the back to the book about the din that this might sound like jibberish but it's how drummers and percussionists talk to each other don't get. they can also use the analogy sick at the point across. have you ever played tennis or golf but went on with this that's all of them. finding the right the rhythm.

mr clinton dr long the telepathic is working with a caution section of the danish national symphony orchestra. and it's rare for these musicians to take center stage like this. i always come up come with a plan because i don't know what kind of situation i'm going to have what kind of level of the player's commitment time schedule so i have to come with a plan that whatever happens it will work but then it's great when we can take it much much further and you came and said you know that that's very good how how we were going i said but do you think you should be a bit more flexible i really love that contribution because that's exactly what i wanted. something that's a bit more hip swinging than usual the danish national symphony orchestra plays a piece being missing composer so bester welters the natural bellows miles

it was written in 1039 as a film school. here it doesn't profession is performed for once and shining the string section. when you play in a big symphony orchestra or even as a percussionist we used to just have the pulse and but in a big office like this always some small adjustments we have to do small adjustments all the time so that's quite difficult because we have 13 players that used to do that just once in sort of the same time so that it needs a lot of a lot of eyes a lot of years. gradually other instruments join the party the peace builds to a laureus question. the professionals are serious and delicate has turned the normal orchestra hierarchy on its head. to sort of this is sort of

a master class that we'd like this because in classical music. written place to the melody has not this time the military has to play to the reason. i mean like the black sheep of this i'll sample. because i'm not a classical trained decision i am a self-taught yes guy. along the delegates i don't see that as a positive. i love it when we get the sense from all those types of music it's so enriching and many times i think that if we we need to be classical musicians need more of your wealth to do what we do because it's all intertwined is not so for.

most of what i've learned i've learned from the players much more than conductors who are great but as i go and ask you know how do you do this and what else can you do and what other options are there and so i'm happy to meet you that's with while you were in the band i mean. the memory is that you're thinking the raymonds. so the band has picked up a new member and then you send them our meats mexican and the result is pure it's super it's. dark. in germany where the organ has the name 2021 instrument of the year. it sound is closely associated with the church but it's more versatile than that there's

a reason why the organ is often referred to as the queen of instruments. and organist needs not only the right shoes. but also to focus their mind and body playing the organ is a bit like a work out. the organ is a larger than life experience he cursed the greatest possible transformation of the material into spirits in christ something like tone plus color over time he's like the sound of the universal i call it transcended as it attempts to encompass all of human experience. the organ is the biggest the lowest and the highest the loudest and the quietest of instruments it consists of pipes

bellows n.-p. board. the organ dates back to ancient times during the middle ages monks started using organs in churches. instrument reflected god's omnipotence with its infinite seeming sounds stealing heights above and beyond the everyday world. can you still hear. this is the smallest but. it's this big and this is how central can you hear something. but the sound is there. yes. used to be a cultural manager but now he leads a very different life. practices get blurred in every day.

it's like meditation in exercise and when i'm. fascinated by the instrument. i'm kind of you know if you touch a key in a piano it goes ping ping your name and here in a toss of her if you touch it here there's a current of yes which means that ear is my material that your son believable the sounds and then on kind. divided cameron carpenter to come to berlin from new york. known for his unorthodox style he's one of the fastest organists in the world. he's also created his own digital organ which doesn't need when styles and sounds are transformed into binary data.

but he is a virtual also on the traditional pipe organ to a musician with unflagging passion for his instrument just walking to the console to this day feels fills me with a kind of deep anticipation and excitement nervousness and a readiness as though i'm coming to the moment that i was made for. he's taken it upon himself to read the instruments from the shackles of religion. the idea that the organ comes from church is christian propaganda it's not only about playing the organ but also about expanding ardea of what the organ is which of course includes giving the organ identity outside of church and also in people's

minds as being possible to be something other than only church. carpenter commissioned the international touring organ so he could play in other settings during the pandemic he's played free concerts all over berlin performing in the open air. he understands people's reservations about the organ. i personally struggle a lot with the organ i always have but that's not necessarily an a negative thing it of course requires a lifetime of dedication carpenters not the 1st to distort the sounds of the organ and turn them into something almost unrecognizable. in 1987 the composer john cage created a radical piece called as slow as possible which is currently being performed in eastern germany. to perform its began in 2001 and is scheduled to

end in 2641 note is played every few years. thanks. to its band's lead morgan is an instrument that lives. i'm certainly. always beginning again by my journey with the organ with this organ assurance to is does and all who . is of the organism instrument. which doesn't just give itself up to the players you know we're going to love it it has to be concrete about or you feel like a conqueror when you sit down to play the organ sectors and one for i know altered states. and now finally oregon has been nominated instrument of the year a crowning glory for the queen of instruments. from
