Rheingold – Ein Meisterwerk von Rüdiger Oppermann

Neben den Klangwelten gibt es von Rüdiger Oppermann auch Sonderprojekte wie die »Reise in die Anderwelt – The Brendan Voyage«. Dieses Jahr ist er mit dem Projekt »Rheingold« auf einem Schiff auf Rheintournee. Wetterbedingt hat die Gruppe heute nicht auf dem Schiff, sondern in der Tullahalle in Maximiliansau gespielt. Die Akustik war super, und das […]

Rüdiger Oppermann auf dem Watthaldenfestival

Spätestens wenn Rüdiger seine rote Harfe auspackt, an den Verstärker hängt und somit die Stromgitarrenemulation einschaltet, verlassen die älteren Semester fluchtartig das Veranstaltungsareal. Danke für das beeindruckende Konzert, Jungs :) .

The Hurdy-gurdy explained

About 20 Years ago, I started to built a hurdy-gurdy, but never finished it. This evening, I found some videos of Patty Gurdy explaning her instrument and the Buzzing Bridge. BTW: I found her solo of “Leaves And Lemons” quite impressive, though some postprocessiong might be involved. And it reminds me of a concert by […]

Das Portativ

Sofern überhaupt dürften die meisten diesen Instrumententyp nur von mittelalterlichen Abbildungen her kennen. Noch seltener wird man es auch hören können, wie beispielsweise das Stück O Gloriosa Domina aus dem Buxheimer Orgelbuch, gespielt von Ernst Stolz. An größeren Orgeln kann man, im Gegensatz zum Pianoforte, einzelne Töne bauartbedingt nicht in der Dynamik beeinflussen. Umso beeindruckender […]

Klangwelten @ Tollhaus 2015

For the 29th time, the Klangwelten festival took place at Tollhaus. Rüdiger Oppermann once again invited several musicians from all over the world, including Africa, Papua, and China. Unfortunately the online programme at Tollhaus already disappeared, so that I cannot provide more detailed information. After Al Di Meola and Hiromi Uehara, this was the third […]

Reise in die Anderwelt – The Brendan Voyage

Paid by the city of Worms, Rüdiger Oppermann produced “The Brendan Voyage – Reise in die Anderwelt”, which was presented at Tollhaus yesterday, well, a couple of minutes ago :) . We enjoyed the concert as we did concerning the other Oppermann concerts during the last years. I’d like to thank the Tollhaus and Rüdiger […]

Klangwelten live at Tollhaus 2013

Once again we attended the annual Klangwelten concert which took place for the 27. time this year. Musicians included: African Heart Beat (Uganda) Ngau Jau (Borneo) Jatinder Thakur (India) Mahindra Khan (Rajasthan) Rüdiger Oppermann (Germany) Due to an intense working day, I was a bit late, but we decided to attend anyway and didn’t regret. […]

Klangwelten live at Tollhaus

Once again[1,2] Rüdiger Oppermann brought a couple of outstanding musicians to the Tollhouse yesterday. You never knew what you can do with string instruments alone until you heard it :) . In case you get the chance, don’t miss it. You won’t regret.

Klangwelten celebrating its 25th birthday

Klangwelten is celebrating its 25th birthday, and we just attended the concert at the Tollhaus in Karlsruhe, where I already heard them two years ago. The event was just marvellous. Park Stickney’s instrument sounded more like a guitar than a harp, the singing of Katajaq (Inuuk) was more than impressive, Enkh Jargal’s singing and playing […]
