Today's bands:
I met Angus, doco, Lupo, SibSerag and thecrow_ at the Hauptmark tonight and we started by listening to the Amsterdam Klezmer Band. Klezmer-Gabber?! WTF?! Okay, not only that, but also classic Klezmer and Klezmer combined with Hiphop, House and Raggae elements. Basically, a Klezmer band plus the two DJs Cmon & Kypski. Weird but very good mix.
My parents, my sister and I went to the opera house of Osnabrück yesterday and watched Giaccomo Puccini's opera Turandot. It was an highly entertaining performance with excellent singers and orchestra. Especially Ricardo Tamura (Calaf) and Iordanka Derilova (Turandot), who are not only very expressive singers and convincing actors, they can also sing at a volume that brings down the walls of the theatre, while still maintaining perfect modulation... Truely amazing. The choir was almost equally impressive. It used to be only average in the past, but this time I was listening mouth agape. There is only one word to describe their performance: perfect. Of course, everyone else was also very good, a great team on stage.

This year's Bardentreffen here in Nürnberg was great again. We (Angus, Dal'Noc, Eisfuchs, lynard_, Reesa, sibserag, thecrow_ and I) listened to many excellent bands and had lots of fun. On Saturday night I cooked the traditional Reitersuppe. Well, the tradition is that I cook that soup on Saturday night of the Bardentreffen for my guests. :-)
