Aus Fürst Pücklers Opus Magnum: „Tutti Frutti“ - Musikalische Lesung mit Gerhard Vondruska und Andreas Wolter

In the organizer's words:

On the 167th anniversary of Alexander von Humboldt's death:

Encounters & Reflections, aptly formulated from the pen of Prince Herrmann von Pückler-Muskau: the anonymously published 5 volumes of "Tutti Frutti" appeared in 1834. Stylistically idiosyncratic and modern, he combined the stories with political observations, anecdotes and reflections on the state, culture and art, spiced up with satire. "Tutti Frutti" provoked a lively, sometimes controversial response, which also gave rise to speculation about a ban.

Prince Pückler (1785-1871), the "garden artist", bohemian and Orient traveler: Whatever he undertook, he caused a sensation. He was a chronicler of his time. When a new "Pückler" appeared, the top ten thousand were eager to get their hands on a copy. His reference book "Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärten" (1843) is still considered standard reading for gardener training today.

With music from his era.
