Wien. Rennweg. Balkan

Not my new address, but a cd I bought yesterday at "Büchergilde". It's by "Wiener Tschuschenkapelle", musicians I missed to see at their concert in Berlin last month. Great Balkan music, I liked it when listening to the songs published on the web.
Since I had to buy my quarterly book/cd/picture at Büchergilde (a traditional workers' book club, my grandfather was a member more than 50 years ago), I went for it. And the Sevdah-lovesongs they had done on "Bosanske Sevdalinke".
It was just the right music to enjoy after I had been to the opera "Aleko", by Rachmaninow, very romantic, very lively, on gipsies and love and jealousy and murder. Not his best work, but done wonderfully at "Neuköllner Oper". It was the last performance of the founder and musical director Winfried Radeke, after more than 30 years. Standing ovations!
The music made my day!
