21:00 Unstolen Moments Florian Bartussek

I never sleep in the afternoon. Except when when I've had to visit the Austrian authorities in the morning. Karl Kraus

Dear Listeners! Even if you've had to visit Austrian authorities in the late afternoon and have managed to accomplished what you went there to do (despite the unaccustomed hour), tonight you won't be able to sleep. At least not if you've come to Porgy & Bess. Austria's new generation of string players will see to that! Violin artistry, skilled fiddling, twanging strings, and too-tightly strung bows, the sound of clanging metal, of grumbling bowels, hysterical performance practices and applied destructive fits, twelve-tone howling, triumphal études and bitter attacks on the fingerboard... More exciting than Philharmonic contract negotiations. More erotic than grease-painted State Opera tenors. Tonight Florian Bartussek is wielding the bow. Not at the Salzburg Rest-ival... No, tonight, Porgy & Bess is holding the only respectable violin succession of 4 days before 1997 A.D! Oh come all ye shepherds - Oh come to the Club. RD
