The Rosenborg Concert.One sunny October afternoon, the knight’s hall of the Rosenborg Castle in
Copenhagen was filled with the music of Vivaldi. The Rosenborg Castle, which was built in 1633, is the royal castle of Denmark where the crown regalia is stored. The builder, King Christian IV, loved music himself, and enjoyed it as an art, but he also saw ways to use it politically. Christian built secret sound channels in the Rosenborg castle, to impress his guests with unexpected music. The castle is still owned by the Danish Royal family. In 2021 Alexander Winkler received a special opportunity to play at this outstanding location. In this recording by Alexander Winkler the beautiful music of Vivaldi is brought together with the beauty of the historic, mysterious, and unique Rosenborg Castle. |
Bringing Beauty Into The World.
"The Mission of music is to bring beauty into the world, in my concerts i let the music do that. When it comes to bringing out beuty, it is important to chose the best pieces. Previously i have been to concerts where there were one or two pieces I wanted to hear on the program, in my concerts I make sure that there is one continous atmosphere, whith a piece on the program for every listener. Many performers in classical music will also give no explanation, story, or background to what they are playing before they play it, they simply walk right out on stage and play. I like to tell the interesting, funny, or ironic stories that lay behind every piece of classical music."
