Arabella, the darling of Viennese society, has no qualms turning down suitors. She’s waiting for the «right man», one who will lead her off to a better life. And she finds him in the Croatian landowner Mandyrka.

Strata Records is an independent label from Detroit which published Jazz-, Funk and Soul records in the early 70’s.

That would be absurd.» (Hotel Manager in «The Lobster») Im Film The Lobster  (2015) von Giorgos Lanthimos hat eine zukünftige Gesellschaft entschieden, dass Menschen ausschliesslich in romantischen Paarbeziehungen leben dürfen.

Bach, Bruckner, Messiaen and focus artist Christian Schmitt: four organ virtuosos share the stage on this concert evening. While Bach and Messiaen also revolutionized the organ literature as composers, not a single work by Bruckner for the instrument of his choice has survived.
