The Music Critic

Volker Werner

Джон Малкович, Aleksey Igudesman

Aleksey Igudesman has created a sardonic mix of the most evil music critiques of the last centuries written about some of the greatest works of music. Equipped with a frivolous potpourri of musical insults, John Malkovich slips into the role of the evil critic who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev to be weary and dreary.

Mad for Seven

Maggie Chastettin

Miha Ferk, Sabina Hasanova

Three musicians play a mad piece in 7/8, trapped under the spell of the number 7. Playing passionately together, each musician is possessed by 7 in a different way. Who can tell what is real and what is not?
