The Austrian multi-percussionist is credited “Rusalka Fantasy” for turning classical solo percussion into an event and his Suite from Rusalka, Op. 114 (arr. by Manfred Honeck) performance at “Klassik am Odeonsplatz”, one of Germany’s DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH most famous open-air highlights, is no exception. Winner of the Suite for Variety Orchestra coveted Würth-prize of the Jeunesses Musicales Germany and – Encores – the Bernstein Award of the Schleswig-Holstein music festival, LEROY ANDERSON Grubinger demonstrates his versatility with works by Antonín “The Typewriter” Dvořák, Dmitri Shostakovich, Bruno Hartl and Tan Dun, who wrote The Tears of Nature specifically for him. Performing at RICHARD STRAUSS a breakneck pace, Grubinger shows once more that he is “a from the Rosenkavalier Suite virtuoso beyond believe” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The “wizard of drumming” (Tageszeitung) challenges the Symphonic Orchestra Orchestra Symphonieorchester des of the Bayerischer Rundfunk under Manfred Honeck to a Bayerischen Rundfunks percussion duel at the highest level. The orchestra’s electrifying Conductor Manfred Honeck rendition of the “Rusalka fantasy” – a suite from Dvořák’s opera, compiled by conductor Honeck – “transforms the opera Percussion Martin Grubinger music into a huge Slavic dance full of splendour and heart- warming melancholy.” (Abendzeitung) Video Director Andreas Morell Length: approx. 145' Shot in HDTV 1080/50i Cat. no.
