The Brandner Kasper has become legendary.

Its original version is now available on CD, read like no other by Beni Eisenburg, with music.

The Museum Tegernseer Tal has now presented them in Tegernsee.

Tegernsee

– The “Story of Brandner-Kasper” has become legendary.

The Museum Tegernseer Tal, which is devoting a special exhibition to what is probably the most famous “resident” of the Alpbach above Tegernsee, has now immortalized the original by Franz von Kobell on CD.

Beni Eisenburg and Edmund Schimeta presented them in the Tegernsee Baroque Hall.

Beni Eisenburg entered the stage in a moody mood.

"Whoever thinks now, 'Mei, duad der Weil,' I understand that," joked the now over 80-year-old former local and cultural curator.

"But I was asked to pick up Brandner vom Kobell, and I'm happy about it." And it was a pleasure.

Who else but Eisenburg should have read this version of Brandner Kasper in dialect?

The Dürnbacher reads from the original, which was first published in 1871 in the "Flying Leaves".

Eisenburg speaks in his so special, sonorous way of telling in fine Bavarian, which only a few master.

The Ur-Brandner-Kasper, which the mineralogy professor and writer Franz von Kobell wrote 151 years ago as a “melancholy exorcist” in times that were sad for him, only covers a few pages.

That was surprising for the audience, who filled a good half of the baroque hall.

Because most people are more familiar with the long theater version by Kurt Wilhelm or the one from the Munich Volkstheater.

Did Brandner Kaspar come from Tyrol?

Edmund Schimeta, head of the Tegernsee Valley Museum, explained that there are countless adaptations.

You learned amazing things.

For example, that Beni Eisenburg himself played Boanlkramer in a theater production in the 1970s.

And that in the register books of the Tegernsee valley there is never a Brandner Kasper named, but one from Brandenberg in Tyrol.

The same Kasper Brandner had come to the monastery pharmacy in Tegernsee to get medicine, but died here suddenly.

Franz von Kobell was a respected hunter, his book "Wildanger" served as training reading for many decades.

Schimeta reported about this, and also about the last wolf, which was killed in 1837 at the Söllbachgraben by forest warden Hohe Nadel.

An imprint of the skull of this last wolf is still preserved in the Tegernseer Tal Museum.

Contemporary musical examples accompany the reading

While the diverse lectures were already impressive for the audience, the evening became even more magical thanks to the musical accompaniment.

The string music Höß-Hornsteiner-Halmbacher, the Gmunder Kaffeehausmusi (Martha and Helmut Höllwart, Michael Rieke) and the Seer Dreigesang (Klaus Altmann, Birgit Halmbacher and Martha Höllwart) presented music from that time.

There was the Tegernseer Minuet or the Stephanie-Polka, which Duke Max composed in the 19th century.

There were songs that Franz von Kobell recorded.

The folk music archive of the district of Upper Bavaria and music professor Sepp Hornsteiner took care of the up-to-date processing.

In the end, the Seer Dreigsang, which should definitely get together more often for performances, rose to the "Verkehres Jodel" and the atmosphere in the old Tegernsee Baroque Hall changed almost into the sublime: upstairs, in the ceiling painting of the Baroque Hall, the cheerful muses of the Poetry, dance, music, the monastery is in the picture with a wide view of the lake.

Just like in the painting, the rain paused briefly outside, the fog revealed the view of the lake and mountains, while the music played and Eisenburg read how Brandner goes into paradise: "And the twoa stenga now in an' far' A hall with a transparent wall like polished mirror glass and there we were blessed far and wide in the garden with the loveliest flowers in all colors and with a big Baam full of apples and pears Pfersi' and Pomerantsch'n (...

CD and exhibition with audio station

The CD with Eisenburg's reading of the "G'schicht von' Brandner-Kasper" in the original by Franz von Kobell with historical music examples from the folk music archive of the district of Upper Bavaria is available for twelve euros at the Museum Tegernseer Tal in Tegernsee.

The special exhibition "In the Bavarian Paradise" can be seen there from Sunday, May 15, 2022 to October 3, 2022 - and before that at the second "Long Night of Art" at Tegernsee on May 13 and 14, 2022. The reading is can be found in the exhibition itself at a listening station.

Information is available on the museum's website.
