Finally: After the long Corona interruption, the audience was offered wonderful entertainment on the opening day of the river festival by Josef Brustmann and his colleagues.
Wolfratshausen
- As is well known, the best comes at the end. And so Josef Brustmann ended the successful opening evening of the river festival with his “Brustmanns Lust”. In his own words, “a bit coarse, a bit g'schert and a bit roarroarroar”. The audience went wild. After a lot of musical variety, there were a few bitterly angry Gstanzl that you could let yourself melt on your tongue like sour drops on the way home. And yet you can hardly get the excellent formulations of the old stage handler on the line. Something like: If you change him, is he Frau Baerbock? And that he would not have chosen Spahn if he (Spahn or Brustmann?) Had been bisexual? A little bit sheared. And as before, really good.
In his inimitable way, namely chatting to the next piece of music with cabaret-like contributions, Josef Brustmann gave, among many other things, insights into his childhood, which he had spent only a few kilometers away from the stage in the Waldram district. With many siblings - everyone was in the audience - and even more music. Just as the Loisach rushed by in the background, the evening rippled easily and effortlessly. Like the moon, which conjured light reflections into the water, Brustmann put anecdotes and, with the support of his band, songs into a large, successful whole. Franz Schubert's "Winterreise" was played by internationally successful musicians Benni Schäfer (Geretsried, bass, tuba and vocals), Martin Regnat (Bad Tölz, diatonic accordion, Canadian timple - similar to a ukulele - and vocals), Luke Cyrus-Goetze (USA,versatile guitarist with dobro, steel and electric guitar) and Mathias Götz (Munich, trombone) on Friday evening on the Loisachufer, palpable and soulful. The Irish trash polka "Hägart's dance" came across as snappy. The "mountain vagabonds" are rousing and the song of the "chief evening wind" is profound. It's actually unbelievable that the formation “Brustmanns Lust” actually only played in front of an audience for the second time in this composition.that the formation “Brustmanns Lust” actually only played in front of an audience for the second time in this composition.that the formation “Brustmanns Lust” actually only played in front of an audience for the second time in this composition.
At first, Brustmann gave regular encores - "without first disappearing backstage," as he noted. Among them was the legendary poem "Müller, du 0" and the touching love song "Es ist schön" by the Austrian poet Theodor Kramer. Some of the women in the audience felt a subtle blush on the cheeks of the latter. They were convinced that it was the best song of the evening. Seldom has sensuality been so sensitively transformed into music. The roaring audience even clapped another encore. For them, the artist, who initially satirized the BR advertising slogan “I am the Josef - and there I am at home”, came back on stage all by himself. With the melancholy song “Roter Mond” he captured all the nuances of the evening again. A real home game for the native Waldramer - and finally again in front of an audience.
