60 minutes. they want to know what makes the devil you. love and banning. i'm not even allowed to watch my own car and everyone was later holding everything. up getting are you ready to meet the germans then join a racist do it under w. the organs is the most philosophical instrument the least spontaneous instrument. lure ever forget the moment it gave your goals bonds. this is what music of football.

i am. classical music that transcends borders pianist shops is equally at home with tchaikovsky island techno. a mexican conductor a danish orchestra and a unique relationship. and the queen of instruments the organ more versatile than many might think. but 1st to cuba where horn player stero willis caught up with some old friends. hello and welcome to hop on the queue but i'm sara willis and exactly one year ago i was here standing on this where singing dancing and playing my horn with the musicians of the hub and the lyceum orchestra. for.

it's 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 obama 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 concert will now be streamed without an audience but we are simply happy to play together again when we get. a. conductor jose antonio mendez padrón known as pepe arrived in style for the 1st

rehearsal. but. 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 yeah instead of moving up but if it really is terrible that you begin to value things differently sometimes we have so much work and so many concerts there. exhausted but i think

this is helped us value more what we have like being able to play music. whether most ready to have a chance to see each other again here one year after mixer team member is the best thing that's happened this year and you're really happy to be with and make music with you again in the morning simply to be all together again. since then i haven't really missed it but that they get water how is have enough for you with no music on the street do you enjoy it as a musician to have silence or do you miss the live music that is a city which you can hear it has its own sun when you can see yours anymore you feel empty inside and you think something's missing. missing. out of viola and have your continue concertmaster of the orchestra visited me for a cafe seato at the apartment i stay in in havana. i know some will do the corona. that.

was to be done every. week for cubans music is like nothing really you know it's necessary for the life. i knew we needed to but i have the feeling cuba is very special if it is in your bodies you need to dance you need to sing you need to find out how did you feel in this time where you couldn't play them and it was. really sad. because we felt every day that this energy was missing this passion we have and we play. enough several projects we have the orchestra with pepe we have a string orchestra with maestro has got to land we had our quartet. every week we had 2 to 3 concerts. have nothing to do except practice. simply. not something wait. during the lockdown

have you won the talent took an online cuban music competition with his version of bach's shack on i had no live music yet here and so i asked how do you know if you would maybe play something for me up here so at least we hear something live you think. and then ok at the moment we have nothing to do suddenly everything's cancelled again but we have the state salary so we're very lucky. and. 'd you need

the charismatic saxophone star of mozart he lives in a suburb of havana. yeah . nice to have you here thank you. i mean how is it going here are you not overcome we aren't used to anything like this. and you learn and create new music. new productions and now everyone has their own you see sometimes i think with my friends names and we play music in his bedroom. there's not anything for us. it's wonderful to be on a rooftop in the winter i've really enjoyed being back here but it has been sad to see the difficulties people are facing here right now but the positivity of my

cuban musician friends always shines through and today i even saw a little sign of hope the 1st live street music i have seen here on this trip enjoy and. sarah and friends. time to leave. we're meeting up with russian german. ships. the small classical music. oldish. known young pianists she's played in major concert halls and prestigious festivals. shops has recorded.

in 2017 she calls just 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's songs. the band's quarter asked us. clemons 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 schools are doing. and but the melodies are recognizable and after the album was released people were asking. 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 variation or transcription and this is something we're composers did in the last 5 centuries. and this melody. was originally compulsory 1929 and france what we did with this melody. like with.

'd old john a lot of us all pianists know the piano concerto number one for a 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 reason we divide and that means iran come out led them together and then they were dancing all together and you see the most famous. piano concerto which was performed today on all the stages and someone is basically for song ration if you can say this is 50 percent

folk music i realized how wrong we use that the word classical music precautious piano sonata which. this is not classical music this is modern music or if we talk about. 'd this room on sick 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 dark on renaissance pieces. different melodies are going from different centuries from different countries and how they meet tony inspired different artists to do something new but in the end all of this. doesn't really matter because what music is about is the motion you will never forget the small one that made you cry. and you will never forget the moment that gave your goals bombs are made you have the special memory all the 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 visit her you tube channel d.w. classical music catch. 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 knew and loved. d.w. classical music has attracted 5000000 visitors if you visit you'll find lots to keep you in thrall from portraits of extending musicians to fool and concerts. you'll find award winning t.w.

documentaries about beethoven we have lots on him mozart verde bogner and other famous composers was. one playlists is entitled music a maestro and is presented by the mexican conductor along. in our next report we company her to copenhagen for a performance with the danish national symphony orchestra with a work that is rather unusual and start from music. in that you'd be magog that did that get the back to the book about the bin 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 their point across. have you ever played

tennis or golf but went on with this that's all of them if finding the right is a rhythm. for mr clinton dr alondra delap era is working with a caution section of the danish national symphony orchestra. to get it. it's rare for these musicians to take center stage like this. i always come up with a plan because i don't know what kind of situation i'm going to have what kind of level of the players 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 swinging than usual the danish national symphony orchestra plays a piece by mixing composer so best welters they're not there last night yes it was written in 1039 as a film school. here it doesn't profession as perform for once it 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 the biggest like this always some small adjustments we have to do small adjustments all the time to 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 category as question. the

professionals are thrilled teleporter has turned the normal orchestra hierarchy on its head. to sort of this is sort of a master class that week like this because in classical music normally place to the melody has not this time the middle has to plea to the reason. that. i moved like the black sheep of this i was troubled. because i am not a classical trained decision i am a self-taught yes guy. along sees 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 simply.

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 out there and so i'm i'm happy to meet you that's with while you were in the band i mean. the memory is that you're think we re. so the band has picked up a new member and a new sense denmark meets mexican and the result is pure it's super it's. dark. in germany where the organ has been named 2021 c.

instrument of the year. its 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 in a larger than life experience he 1st addresses possible transformation of the material into spirit in christ something like tone plus color over time he's like the sound of the universal i call it transcended is it attempts to encompass all of human experience. the organ is the biggest the lowest am the

highest the loudest and the quietest of instruments it consists of pipes bellows and keyboard. 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 killing 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 the word in every day. it's like meditation in exercise and when i'm. asked unaided by the instrument. goodman club you know if you touch a key in a piano he goes ping ping your name and your natasha verco if you touch it here there's a current of yes which means that ear is my material is that your son believable the silence and then on the floor and. invited 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 breed the instrument 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 carbon dear is not the 1st to distort the sounds of the organ in turn them into something almost unrecognizable. in 1907 the composer john cage created a radical piece called as slow as possible which is currently being performed in
