German Things

German Things invites you on a thrilling sonic journey that spans the breadth of German musical imagination – from the gentle bloom of the Pril flower to the unmistakable beep of an iPhone ringtone. In this masterfully staged concert film, an ensemble of world‑class musicians and virtuoso performers illuminate the rich tapestry of Germany’s classical, contemporary and pop traditions. Witness the powerful “Tagesschau‑Musik” for Hammond organ and orchestra performed by Hans Carste, a stirring excerpt that conjures the gravitas of a national news broadcast. Experience Gerhard Winkler’s “Capri‑Fischer” and Klaus Doldinger’s multifaceted works – “The Pril Flower,” “The Crime Scene,” and the playful “Boat Ringtone” – all reimagined through the inventive paraphrases of Jan Kohl and Frank Heckel. Feel the electric energy of Diego Ramos Rodriguez’s avant‑garde “The Theory Of Everything” (excerpt) as it crescendos into a moment of pure awe. Pop legend Nena delivers the heartfelt trio “Somehow, Somewhere, Sometime,” while the timeless vocal repertoire of Franz Schubert, reinterpreted by Jan Kohl, adds an ethereal touch. Cap your experience with the majestic “The Hebrides” by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, a soaring finale that echoes the timeless spirit of German greatness.
