Prospect and retrospect

The Dresden Music Festival gets in the mood for 2011 – with a special concert and a new venue!

That evening at 8pm, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Jan Vogler are going to perform in the bright inner courtyard of the recently opened Albertinum in Dresden. The complete program of the next festival (May 18 to June 5, 2011) will be announced mid-October. – The Dresden Music Festival has left »Russlandia«, but not without keeping the memories of the 2010 festival alive. Anybody who wants to remember the wonderful atmosphere and the outstanding artistic performances may have a look at the impressions linked here.

Favorite tunes on CD

In 2007, Jan Vogler had already recorded some of his favored pieces for his album »My Tunes«, with music ranging from Bach to Mancini. For »My Tunes 2«, the cellist has again chosen some popular melodies, and did another recording together with the Dresdner Kapellsolisten for Sony Classical. This new album focuses on the »human voice« of the cello, including dreamy opera arias and songs by Gluck, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Wagner, but also »Oblivion« by tango-king Astor Piazzolla. »My Tunes 2« is available in stores and in our online shop from June 18.
