FEEL THE EDGE
- DISCOVER MIHAEL'S PORTRAIT OF THE BLACKBIRD!
Performing The
Blackbird Song
by A.Müllenbach
in 2004, Paar drew a decisive attention. Performance featuring a
charming musical theatre, as well as a number of modern playing techniques,
some of which came to reinforce the onomatopoeic feature of the
programmatic piece, immediately earned acclaims from both the audience and
the critiques, additionally resulting with the top prizes at the Ohrid and
Padua International Competitions. The attached footage highlights the show
from the 29th Samobor Autumn, renowned Croatian Music Festival and stands
as the first in the sequence of a nearly dozen performances followed
throughout the Italy, Austria, Romania, Macedonia and Croatia. Although
frequently approached as a stand-alone piece, the Solo remains an
integrative part of a major complex - the Zeit-Schatten Quartet
(cl./vn./vc./pf.).
