When internationally renowned artists get involved out of love for their adopted country, it is a gift of a special format. This is the case with pianist Liese Klahn, who once again invites you to a concert in her beloved Pfarrstadl Huglfing.
Huglfing – Last year, Liese Klahn, who in the spring of 2021 chose Gut Achberg as her home together with her husband, the conductor and composer George Albrecht, who has since passed away, had already initiated a first Pfarrstadl talk concert with touching music written by Robert Schumann. At that time, she had "fallen in love" with this extraordinary concert space and was also enthusiastic about the transverse axis to St. Magnus Church and its ambience.
First concert unleashed creative ideas in the village
The response to the first concert, which was filled to capacity, was enormous. This gave courage and unleashed creative ideas. Many discussions with the parish council and the mayor followed. Here, too, both sides immediately felt the fruitful potential of this encounter. Klahn, once a master student of piano legends such as Kempff and Kämmerling, pianist, song accompanist, chamber musician with such a special focus on historical keyboard instruments, had shaped musical life in Weimar with her husband for decades. And so it may not hurt that her countless artist encounters there are allowed to resonate in Huglfing. The axis, which Klahn is now forging on September 17 in the new Pfarrstadel concert, is without a doubt a rarity.
Outstanding artists as guests
In cooperation with Deutschlandfunk and the Klassik-Stiftung Weimar, a CD with works by Franz Schubert has just been created. Schubert, composer of Viennese Classicism, who, in contrast to Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, was actually a true Viennese of the petty-bourgeois milieu, who can already be regarded as a highly sensitive Romantic, who always acts emotionally as a friend and consolation of all tender souls, created touching violin sonatas. His "Arpeggione" also represents a milestone for violoncello and fortepiano in the blissful canon of the great cello literature. From the late phase of his astonishingly profound early work, as well as from his maturing period, the violinist Erich Hörbarth, cellist Peter Hörr and Liese Klahn on fortepiano now bring exactly these sound delicacies in historically informed garb to the Pfarrstadl.

Klahn has a long-standing artistic friendship with her two chamber music partners. The Viennese Hörbarth, a pupil of violin eminence Sandor Vegh, shone as concertmaster with Harnoncourt, as first violinist of the "Viennese String Sextet", the "Quatuor Mosaique", and as a university professor in Leipzig he influenced an entire generation of violinists.
Long-standing president of the Klassik-Stiftung Weimar provides discussion
Cellist Peter Hörr, once Switzerland's youngest university professor in Bern, also has a broad, award-winning musical experience as a soloist, chamber music partner and teacher. While Heinrich Schiff and the Scola Cantorum in Basel once shaped his work, he now also devotes himself emphatically to works of classical modernism as a conductor.

My Area
None other than the former president of the Klassik-Stiftung Weimar, Hellmut Seemann, could be won over as an interlocutor. For 18 years, the art-loving lawyer kept one of Germany's largest cultural foundations on course in Weimar, which is steeped in history. In the historic Pfarrstadl, you can look forward to his eloquent bridge between Schubert and Goethe, Weimar and Huglfing.
