Dresden

moderated a Russian from Berlin six sound body on the stair-Repnin

by Reinhard Heinrich

That is, the governor-general of Saxony (1813-1814) Prince Nikolai Grigorievich Repnin-Wolkonski (Fig. ) maybe dreaming but can not be:

Russian folk songs - from the lone birch tree to "Kalinka", alternating with Robert Schumann and the (Wilhelm!) Müller, whose desire to wander was, then again the Polovtsian Dances from "Prince Igor". A musical program of the entire German-Russian romanticism in elementary and high culture was performed on the Stairs to the Brühl's Terrace. To be a better place, it could not have, even if the staircase has been decades of quite usual for this event. And a better sound either.

Finally, it would not have existed without the Russian governor signed the stairs. He ordered her built and commissioned Gottlob F. Thormeyer with the design. , Ending finally see the world built in stone, the era of absolutism in Saxony. The people now had access to property Brühl Terrace. Strange how a (enlightened) Russian prince brought elements of democracy to Saxony, instead of Napoleon Bonaparte as "emissary of the revolution" it introduced from France. No - Thor Meyers Repnin-staircase (or Repnin Thormeyer-stairs) is a secret Russian monument in Saxony, breaking with cultural path effect. Only right and it was that last Saturday there the "great Russian soul," sang in both languages.


than you would have to take the Kügelgenhaus. After all, was born Wilhelm von Kügelgen in St. Petersburg and his mother's native language (at least one of them) was Russian. But there would be over a thousand Dresdner did not go in, which is the feast for the ears and throat did not want to miss. Kehl feast indeed, for she sang with, where they could. Only for "Kalinka", because there was great uncertainty in the text German public - in the German verses. Who knew almost no one. The chorus in Russian then everything worked.

And on the side, before the old parliament building, sat on his throne Friedrich August the Just in Ernst Rietschel molded in bronze (and that great art), reflective listening, her lowered gaze since 2008 (coincidence?) Plasterstein tacked on from where in 1813 Napoleon took off the parade (one of the two "smallest monuments" of Dresden). Since he could now think about his fealty to the "Emperor" - Listen and Russian songs.

the moderator of the grand evening Wladimir Kaminer (image) knew the Dresdner far more than satirical author and entertaining reader of his stories in the house of the book. Begets him as "an expert in German-Russian relations" to be used here by the humor of the organizers of such efforts, the musical works of the German-Russian romance a bit to get to the bottom of the current facts. And it has worked.

As for the reality: Even Clara Schumann went on tour in 1843, including to Russia system to merge by 6,000 dollars, so Schumann family had something to life.

We should be grateful that the Dresden Music Festival in its "6,000 dollars" (or whatever it costs) up to now have still got somewhere. At least approximately. has a steady job for Robert Schumann in Saxony, where not already in the 1840s. He went to Dusseldorf in 1849. Where he was going well today?

Let us at least the music festival in Dresden remain!
