Neumarkt

With photographs by Frank Schinski. Guest Authors: Peter Gülke, Sir András Schiff and Dariusz Szymanski. Edited by Neumarkter Konzertfreunde e.V. Translations: Kristina MacVicar, George Frederick Takis and Paul Ruban.

The violinist Thomas Zehetmair swims in a lake with a water temperature of three degrees, the clarinetist Sabine Meyer drinks tea on her horse ranch, or the chamber music singer Brigitte Fassbaender shares a sofa with her cats: rarely has a photographer come as close to great musicians as photographer Frank Schinski does in the book 'Neumarkt'. The photos of artists form the core of the book about an outstanding chamber music hall that has now been drawing the stars of the classical music scene to the small city in the Upper Palatinate for forty years. This is reason enough to photograph aforesaid musicians as well as a selection of the people who first made the "miracle of Neumarkt" possible: from the founder to subscribers to in-house technicians. The series of photos are supplemented with essays by renowned authors like Sir András Schiff, Prof. Peter Gülke, and Dariusz Szymanski. 271 Seiten mit 174 Farb- und drei s/w-Abb., Großformat, Leinen (Kerber Photo/Kerber Verlag 2022) Ecken leicht bestoßen
