Rehearsing with SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart - a marvelous ensemble! - for "The Nightingale" by H.C.Andersen composed by Ugis Praulins... 3 concerts with dvd and cd production - one of them for children with the Nightingale being read inbetween the music... and totally sold out - heartwarming when classical music gets popular...

"The Nightingale" by Ugis Praulins- great success in Germany!
A wonderful week with "The Nightingale" with the marvelous SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart and Klaas Stok - ending with an intense and very well received concert in Stuttgart Liederhalle tonight, which will be broadcast January 24. A slightly shorter version performed for 900 children a few days ago - with the fairy tale being told between movements - will be video-online Dec.20, and a similar version for young people will be released on cd next year. Am so happy that this work - with a Grammy nomination and an Echo Klassik Award - is coming across so well to all kind of audiences...

Tonights first "Nightingale" in Mannheim with the absolutely marvelous SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart went well - tomorrow midday we make a filmed version for 900 children with the H.C.Andersen Fairytale being told inbetween the music. SWR has made great info-material for school classes to study beforehand, and a little video is made by a few of the children, inspired by Ugis Praulins music....

Der lettische Komponist Uģis Prauliņš setzte das Märchen im Jahr 2010 musikalisch als Werk für 20-stimmigen Chor und Blockflöten unter dem Titel The Nightingale um. Das etwa 30-minütige Konzert wurde im März 2011 in Dänemark mit der dänischen Blockflötistin Michala Petri uraufgeführt und im Dezember 2013 erstmals vom SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart auf einer deutschen Bühne gezeigt.
