Re: Fantastico,

Twenty years ago...that means you were here in 1992?

Re: in retrospect,

That was, of course, in the era of Herbert von Karajan. Back then, only the richest could afford a ticket for the festival. No chance for us music students...Therefore I also, at that time, only saw the audience going to and coming out of the concerts. Oftentimes one wondered if this was a festival of classical music or a fashion show at Dior's...A lot has changed since; tickets are still pricy, but not what it used to be like. One still is well advised to reserve many months in advance, though...
Cheers,
Eric

takes me back also....

Hello again Eric, I am so envious that you are there in Salzburg, my home for three years, 1952-1955. Untersburg still brings tears. Thanks for posting. Charles Baxter

Re: takes me back also....

Thanks for your message, Charles! Interesting to know you lived in Salzburg in the 50s - Salzburg must have looked quite a bit different then!!
I'm glad I was able to stir up some lovely old memories of yours - I'm always so happy when people tell me that! :-)
Many greetings to you,
Eric

Wow, Eric!

I have been reading the conversation between you and Roberto. This place has had a long and memorable history for both of you! Music and medicine come together in the mountains! That is so cool!
My greetings from the sunny California,
Marc

Re: Wow, Eric!

It must be spring in full bloom in California right now...! :-)
Salzburg is the place I've been living and working in for the last 24 and a half years. And it hasn't come to an end...
Many people who came to study in Salzburg and then returned back to their home countries tell me they miss Salzburg. This is the message I get time and time again on Facebook, for instance, whenever I post a photo I took in Salzburg or it's surroundings. This proves to me that I'm not completely un-objective...:-)
Cheers, Marc,
Eric

Untersberg on the throne

Excellent idea to let the Untersberg sit enthroned on the Hohensalzburg! This is the art of improvisation true musicians can use for many other things in practical life, as well as for photography.
Best wishes to continue this way,
herzliche Grüße von Peter
P.S.: wenn's so gar nicht gemeint war, dann war's eben Zufall...

Re: Untersberg on the throne

Nochmals danke, Peter! Oh nein, Zufall war das nicht - so ein Motiv lässt man sich nicht entgehen!
Herzliche Grüsse,
Eric
