Einleitung Im Rahmen einer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz am 2.2.2015 haben sich der Oberbürger- meister der Stadt München und der Ministerpräsident des Freistaats Bayern bemüht, eine neue Perspektive zur Lösung der seit ca. 10 Jahren öffentlich diskutierten Konzertsaalprob- lematik in München aufzuzeigen. Danach sollte die Philharmonie im Gasteig, da der gesamte Gasteig ohnehin saniert werden muss, im Rahmen einer zweijährigen Schließperiode ab 2020 zu einem erstklassigen Konzertsaal umgebaut werden. Insbesondere sei eine hervorra- gende Akustik für Symphonieorchester angestrebt. Der Herkulessaal sollte zu einem nicht genannten Zeitpunkt ebenfalls renoviert werden. Beide Säle sollten dann dem Symphonieor- chester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (BRSO) und den Münchner Philharmonikern (MPhil) zur gleichberechtigten Bespielung zur Verfügung stehen. Dazu sollten auch Aufenthaltsräume für das BRSO im Gasteig geschaffen werden, möglicherweise in dem Bereich, der jetzt der Musikhochschule zur Verfügung steht; diese müsste dann anderswo untergebracht werden.

Integral to this concept is the variable and highly subjective distinction made by various parties between “good” and “evil,” “right” and “wrong,” “us” and “them.” This thesis examines these concepts as they relate to the actions and manifestos of the Red Army Faction (die Rote Armee Fraktion) in 1970s Germany, and seeks to understand how its members became regarded as terrorists.

  • Konzerthäuser in Deutschland
    Raoul Mörchen Konzerthäuser in Deutschland >> Konzerthaus – Was ist das? Was ein Opernhaus ist, ist leicht gesagt. Ein Opernhaus ist ein Haus, in dem Opern gespielt werden. In Opern- häusern werden gemeinhin die zur Aufführung kommenden Opern auch selbst produziert, und zwar ganz oder zum Teil mit eigenem Personal, mit einem eigenen Ensemble, mit einem eigenen Orchester, auf jeden Fall werden die Opern programmiert von einem eigenen Betrieb, einer eigenen Verwaltung, einer eigenen Dramaturgie und einer künstlerischen Leitung. Ein Opernhaus ist somit ein spezifischer Gebäudetypus – mit Auditorium, Bühne, Bühnenmaschinerie, heute auch mit Orchestergraben – und eine kulturelle Institution, die diesen Gebäudetypus entsprechend bespielt. Was ein Konzerthaus ist, lässt sich dagegen nicht so leicht sagen. Für Konzerte braucht es kein eigenes Haus – ein Saal tut’s eigentlich auch. Genau genommen spielt sogar die meiste Musik in Deutschland, auch die klas- sische, nicht in Konzerthäusern, sondern in Konzertsälen. Und selbst der Konzertsaal ist bei näherem Hinblick weder architektonisch noch soziologisch eine so fest greifbare Entität wie das Opernhaus: Was gestern Abend noch Konzertsaal war, kann vielerorts morgen früh schon leergeräumt werden für einen Kongress oder eine Tagung, für eine Firmenpräsentation oder gar für einen Trödelmarkt. Beinahe jede mittelgroße und große deutsche Stadt verfügt über solche Säle, die als Mehrzweckhallen mehr oder minder oft Aufführungsstätte für Konzerte sind. Ihre Eignung dafür stellt diese beliebte Mischnutzung nicht von vornherein in Frage: Säle wie die alte Duisburger Mercatorhalle oder die Beethovenhalle in Bonn haben sich Jahrzehnte lang als Konzertort bewährt und sind von Musikern und dem Publikum angenommen, manchmal sogar liebgewonnen worden. Historisch betrachtet hat in solchen Mehrzwecksälen das öffentliche Konzert sogar seinen Ursprung genom- men: Sowohl in England, wo sich das bürgerliche Konzertwesen in einer stark merkantil ausgerichteten Ge- sellschaft bereits im frühen 18.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.
