Klosters Music – Across borders

They turn the vocal Allegretto of Ludwig van Beethoven's 7th Symphony into a steaming gypsy jazz number and Richard Wagner's opera drama "Tristan und Isolde" into a longing tango. The seven big boys of Philharmonix know no stylistic limits for their highly musical mix. Most of them play with the Vienna or Berlin Philharmonic. That's why they call their septet "Vienna Berlin Music Club", which also includes pianist Christoph Traxler and violinist Sebastian Gürtler.

Here everyone brings their music, which they rearrange, decorate with improvisations and spice up a bit sharper. These can be classics such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms or Antonín Dvořák, but also an Australian folk song such as "Waltzing Matilda" sounds in a completely new way. This virtuoso boy group also has its own compositions in its luggage. This ensures plenty of fireworks on Swiss National Day.
