Winner of the Spätlese round: Elmar Bringezu.
If Elmar Bringezu were allowed to add his two cents, Deutsche Bahn would soon have to hire "delay supervisors". That's the name of one of his funny poems that the Heidelberg writer read at the latest edition of the "Spätlese" reading series in the Felina-Areal theater.

Baroque sound experience

Baroque sound experience
Elmar Bringezu is a flutist with the Heidelberg Philharmonic. Together with his colleagues he convinced at the concert in Kälbertshausen.
Hüffenhardt - Carnival is over. The time for quieter tones has come. At the church music evening in the Kälbertshausen church, the audience experienced that chamber music can also be lively and full of energy - and that professional musicians don't let a little mishap throw them off the beat.
Cantor and organist Martin Schreiner had won well-known musicians for the evening. Caroline Korn on violin and viola and flute player Elmar Bringezu are members of the Heidelberg Philharmonic, cellist Heike Wagner teaches trombone playing as her main job.
Pastor Christian Ihrig was pleased that the concert was not played in the Hüffenhardter, as originally planned, but in the "smaller, more intimate setting" of the Kälbertshausen church. He was also pleased with the good attendance - "after what must have been an intensive and exhausting week of carnival". The focus of the evening was on pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel and Georg Philipp Telemann from the mid-18th century, "the center of the Baroque", according to Schreiner, who entertained the evening with quotations and a poem about Johann Sebastian Bach led. It all started with a Bach Sonata in G major, in which all four musicians participated. Experts do not agree on whether this work really came from Bach. It seems certain that the bass part was penned by him, the rest could be the work of one of his students. "Regardless of who it is by: the piece sparkles with vitality and energy," says Schreiner. As a soloist, the cantor played the Prelude and Fugue in C major for organ, "an undoubtedly genuine piece by Johann Sebastian Bach," as he jokingly remarked. The two Philharmoniker each contributed a solo piece by Telemann. Professional musician Bringezu presented himself very humanely, playfully playing the Allegro in George Frideric Handel's Sonata in E minor and promptly suggesting: "Let's repeat that, I misread it." The quartet also performed pieces by two of Bach's sons, such as a fugue by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. The eldest son of Johann Sebastian would have turned 300 this year. He followed in his father's footsteps in the most traditional way, but also explored boundaries, as Schreiner explained.
Rarity The last piece was the very rarely played Sonata in E minor by Bach's son Johann Christoph Friedrich, for which Caroline Korn exchanged the violin for the viola. The piece represents a transition from baroque to classical.
The series of church music events will be continued on Good Friday, April 2, at 5 p.m. in the evangelical church in Hüffenhardt. Violinist Götz Engelhardt from the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra plays "Music for the Passion" with a string ensemble and the church choir.
