it's a very different cuba than it was a year ago because of the pandemic but i'm really looking forward to seeing my cuban musician friends from healy a profiler and finding out how they have spent this last year. january 2021 a much quieter habana than usual face masks a compulsory everywhere long lines for food a total lack of tourists and absolutely no live music on the street. i'm back here for a concert with the have an a lyceum orchestra to celebrate our project mozart the mumble 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. are our.

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 i think there have been movement off but if it is terrible that you begin to value things differently sometimes we have so much work and so many common sense that we're all exhausted but i think this is helped us value more what we have like being able to play music than you know whether it was i remember to have a chance to see each other again. hear one year after mozart 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 your together again. since i know you have really missed the money but that they get more to how it has been there 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 sanity when you can't use anymore you feel empty inside when you think something's missing. missing. reach in the broader the your lot and have your continue concertmaster of the orchestra visit me for a cafe seato at the apartment i stay in in havana. now that i know of some we do occur. most of the. week for cubans music is like how they really

you know it's necessary for a life. i mean we need 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 say how did you feel in this time where you couldn't play and we were 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 we don't look as governor we have our quartet. every week we had 2 to 3 concerts and then to sit at home and have nothing to do except practice. simply. not something we. during the lockdown have you won the talent to combine it with an online cuban music computing. with his version of bach's shack on i had no live music yet here

and so i asked have you if you would maybe play something for me up here so at least we hear something live you think. ok at the moment we have nothing to do suddenly everything's cancelled again but we have to say salaries so we're very lucky. and. 'd you need the cameras matic saxophone star of mozart he lives in a suburb of havana. and.

here is a. few. nice to have you here thank you both of them tell me how it's been here for you none of them we aren't used to anything like this. we're learning create new music. new productions and also now everyone has their own so sometimes i go to my friend's house and we play music in his bedroom. there's not only very. it's wonderful to be on a have 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 couple. of friends. time to leave cuba. we're meeting up with a russian german pianist. the small classical music. is among the world's best known young pianists she's played in major concert halls and prestigious festivals. thanks. ships' has recorded. 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 records. the band's quarter asked us very kerman's 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. thanks like your 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 what 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 piano a lot of us 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 call reason 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 on is basically 2 full songs are ation that you can say this is 50 percent folk music i realize how wrong we use the word

classical music a prick office piano sonata which. this is not classical music this is modern music or if we talk about here. this is romantic music this is not classical music and. this. this is classical music and i do play 'd. i do play classical music but i play also manteca and contemporary music and also

some vile congress last pieces. different melodies are going from different centuries from different countries and how they may totally 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 emotion you will never forget the small one that made you cry and you will never forget the moment it 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 a ball. 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 knew and loved. d.w. classical music has attracted 5000000 visit if you visit 2 you'll find lots to keep you in thrall from portraits of her 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 we accompany her to copenhagen for a performance with the danish national symphony orchestra with a work that is rather unusual at sar for music. in the w.b. magog that the get the back to the bat and then that this might sound like jibberish but it's how drummers and percussionists talk to each other build it. they can also use sporting analogies to get their point across. have you ever played tennis or golf but went on with this that's all of them if you find things

at the right of the room. mr clinton dr long the telepathic is working with a caution section of the danish national symphony orchestra. 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 was a bit more swinging than usual the danish national symphony orchestra plays a piece spain mexican composer sylvester after the not delist miles

it was written in 1039 as a song story. you've read doesn't percussionist perform for once a 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 big or has 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 we 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. fragile other instruments join the party the peace builds to a king gloria as christian. the professionals are thrilled. has turned the normal history of hierarchy on its head . to sort of this is sort of a master class

a week like this because in classical music normally replaced with the melody has not this time the military has to play to the reason. that. i move like the black sheep of the self. because i am not a classical trained decision i am a self-taught chess guy. along i don't see that as a positive. i love it when we get new stations 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 it's not so pretty. you're.

most of what i've learned i've learned from 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 i'm happy to meet you that's with while you were in the band i mean. the memory is that you're thank you very much. so the band has picked up a new member and a new sense denmark meets mexico and the result is pure it's superman it's. dark. in germany where the organ has been named 2021 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 a larger than life experience he says 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 is it attempts to encompass. all of human experience. the organ is the biggest the lowest on 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 church as. instrument reflected god's omnipotence with its infinite seeming sounds dylan heights above and beyond the everyday world. can you still hear. this is the smallest. 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 virgin every day.

it's like meditation an exercise in one. boston needed by the instrument. goodman club you actually touch a key in a piano he goes ping ping your name and your nitrous of if you touch it here there's a current of yes which means it is my material that your son believable silence and then on the. 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 a deep anticipation and excitement and 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 r.d.o. 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 carpenter is 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 node is played every few years. thanks. to its bands organ is an instrument that lives. i'm certainly. always beginning again my my journey with the organ with this organ insurance to use does and all grew. is of the organism instrument which doesn't just give itself up to the player would have to watch it has to be concrete about or if you feel like a conqueror. when you sit down to play the organ sectors run for i know altered states. and now finally the organ has been nominated instrument of the year a crowning glory for the queen of instruments. from
