Hans Theessink - Jedermann Remixed - The Soundtrack (Blue Groove) 22.07.2011
Kein anderes Stück ist so mit den Salzburger Festspielen verbunden wie Hugo von Hofmannsthals Spiel vom Sterben des reichen Mannes.
Der ORF und die Salzburger Festspiele produzieren ein außergewöhnliches Projekt: anhand von Archivbeständen aus neun Jahrzehnten entsteht eine komplette "Jedermann"-Aufführung. Regisseur Hannes Rossacher setzt ein kulturhistorisches Puzzle von Alexander Moissi bis Nicholas Ofczarek zusammen und gestaltet einen Film, der in noch nie dagewesener Weise die Erfolgsgeschichte des Phänomens "Jedermann" erzählt. Den eigens dafür kreierten Soundtrack liefert der international renommierte Blues- und Roots-Musiker Hans Theessink mit eigenen Kompositionen, aber auch Bearbeitungen von Liedern der Rolling Stones oder von Tom Waits und Nick Lowe.
Max Nagl - Irresberg (Extraplatte)
Every few years, the tunes that are waiting to be recorded, mount.
Due to lack of a band and finances to pay musicians and recording studios
I have started to record these tunes myself and over a course of time they complete themselves,
with the help of my collection of “little” Instruments such as jaw harp, percussion instruments,
plastic guitars and an old sampler etc.....of course alongside my saxophones.
