Franz Kafkas Literarisches Umfeld in Prag

For five decades Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923-2013) held a central position in the musical world. That centrality was reflected in a series of top orchestral and operatic posts and in his interpretations, free of self-regarding eccentricities. His modest but highly effective conducting technique also made him the ideal recording artist. Sawallisch was a Bavarian born in Munich, city of orchestras and a great opera company, which he headed for 21 years. He started his career as an outstanding pianist and remained a sought-after accompanist to great Lieder singers and instrumentalists. Volume 1 of a complete conspectus of his Warner Classics recordings (made for Electrola and EMI Classics between 1954 to 1997) includes wonderful Lieder and song collaborations, as well as famous concerto accompaniments for eminent soloists and a heartwarming traversal of Schubert's secular vocal and sacred choral music with Bavarian Radio colleagues. But the main focus among the 65 discs is on his symphonic achievements: Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bruckner and Dvorák - the latter's Eighth Symphony was his first published recording, from 1954. Richard Strauss, an early influence, is strongly represented. This 65CD-box brings together all the non-operatic recordings that the German conductor and pianist Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923-2013) made in the years from 1954 to 1997 for EMI Classics and Electrola (now Warner Classics).

This is the eight volume of a new series launched by Diapason. 12 CDs in 1 box containing beautiful Schubert piano music.

Birgit Schmidt beschäftigt sich in diesem Buch mit den monetären Folgen, die ein Flughafen – hier der Flughafen Wien – seinem Umfeld auferlegt. Der Fokus liegt auf den Preisminderungen für Wohnimmobilien, den Gesundheitskosten und der Zahlungsbereitschaft zur Vermeidung von Fluglärm. Die hierzu verwendeten ökonomischen Verfahren werden ausführlich erläutert und die Autorin zeigt in einer Gegenüberstellung, wie diese externen Kosten aus Sicht der Bevölkerung und aus Sicht des Verursachers unterschiedlich taxiert werden.

Around 1800 Vienna was, alongside Paris, one of the European centers for guitar performance. The instrument was well suited for the idiom of Viennese classicism and ideal for domestic music-making and it was promoted by figures such as the virtuoso Mauro Giuliani and the composer/publisher Anton Diabelli.
