The Twiolins - Grünstadter Sternstunden

The Twiolins - two violinists with no fear of genre boundaries - have a deep love for opera, but no intention of sitting still for hours through a single plot. So they race their audience through centuries and operatic worlds at breakneck speed.

The programme runs from Bach's "Erbarme dich" through Saint-Saëns' "The Swan" and Rossini overtures to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries". Then the musical time machine lands in the present: film music and classics like "New York, New York" and the "Minor Swing" from Chocolat round off the evening.
