INTRODUCTION The European Diploma for Protected Areas was awarded to the Wachau Protected Landscape in 1994 and renewed in 2009 along with the initial condition and 8 recommendations. For the next renewal an on-the-spot appraisal was undertaken in 2018. I visited the area from 9th to 11th September 2018. The visit was extremely well organised by the World Heritage Municipalities Wachau Association (Verein Welterbegemeiden Wachau) which is responsible for site management, in particular by the manager Dipl.-Ing. Michael Schimek. That was very important as the time for the visit was limited, unexpectedly the vintage started earlier, so it was really a success to assure presence of all key representatives at the site (Annex 1 - programme of visit). Representatives were all very competent and keen to help me to understand issues about the protected area. I would like to thank all organisers of the visit for the helpful, enthusiastic and very open assistance during the on-the-spot-appraisal mission, and all experts and representatives I met during these 3 days: Bgm.

    Kinsky Trio Prague

    KINSKY TRIO PRAGUE Veronika Böhmová - Piano Lucie Sedláková H ůlová - Violin Martin Sedlák - Cello Founded in 1998, the KINSKY TRIO PRAGUE is one of the outstanding Czech chamber ensembles. Since 2004 the Trio has had the honour of bearing the name ‘KINSKY’ by kind permission of the aristocratic Czech family from Kostelec nad Orlicí. The Trio studied at the Academy of Music in Prague under Václav Bernášek, cellist of the Kocian Quartet and has taken part in several master classes (e.g. with the Guarneri Trio and the Florestan Trio). The Kinsky’s international career has taken them all over Europe (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, England, France), the U.S., Canada, Mexico and also the Seychelles. In 2007 - 2009 the Kinsky Trio Prague organized its own series of chamber concerts at the Stone Bell House, an historic inn on the Old Town Square in their home city of Prague. They regularly record for Czech Radio, and their concerts have also been broadcast in Mexico and the U.S. Since 2009 the Kinsky Trio Prague regularly record CDs for the French label Praga Digitals (distributed by Harmonia Mundi). Their recording of complete piano trios by Bohuslav Martin ů has been warmly recommended by international music critics (Diapason, Gramophone, Classica, Harmonie, etc.). The other CDs include compositions by Czech composers Foerster, Novák, Janá ček and Fibich, and less known Russian trios by Borodin, Rimsky Korsakov and Arensky. …The Kinsky Trio catch the spirit of both early sets very neatly in performances of great charm and dexterity. ...
