Austria Travel: A peaceful country drive through rural Styria Sunday, April 3, 2011
Thisvideo clip was taken on July 31, 2007 during my trip to Austria, my home country. First I did some discoveries in my home town of Weiz: I explored the famous pilgrimage church called Weizbergkirche which was built in late baroque style and consecrated in 1776. What astounded me was the size and beauty of this church, considering that it serves a city of barely more than 9000 people. Then I moved on to another architectural gem in the Weiz area: Schloss Thannhausen or Thannhausen Castle was built in the 1500s and features a gorgeous Renaissance courtyard with three levels of arcades and is still often used for concerts and special events. After an interesting drive through the Weizklamm (Weiz Gorge) on a main road framed by vertical limestone cliffs that is so narrow that often it doesn't accommodate two cars side by side I arrived in the mountain village of St. Kathrein am Offenegg, a popular tourism destination with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. Then I explored another touristic highlight of the Weiz area: the "Katerloch", one of the largest limestone caves in Austria with a wide variety of dripstones, many of which are reminiscent of animals, human beings and other identifiable objects. The highlight of this cave is the so-called "Seenparadies", the "Lake Paradise", an underground lake located 135 metres below the cave entrance. I had a chance to interview the operator of the cave after visiting this underground wonderland and learning about the ...

WACHAU Austria Friday, March 25, 2011
As with almost anywhere within the Wachau, the clocks of the dreamy town of Stein seem to run a little slower than in other parts of Austria. Its well preserved ensemble of old houses is not uncommon and the Wachau region enjoys a good reputation for its fine historic treasures and elegant buildings. Krems is like a fairytale town. The wrought iron signs on its buildings and its wonderful historic atmosphere are truly captivating. The former stronghold and subsequent rival of Vienna contains several beautiful lanes and imposing buildings that reflect the wealth of its former citizens. Amid the vast terraces of the Wachau vineyards is the village of Weissenkirchen, in which several hospitable inns provide their customers with an ideal opportunity to sample the wines of this region. Wine growing has a long tradition in this section of the Danube and the area between Krems and Melk is one of the oldest cultivated landscapes in Austria. The Wachau is a landscape full of warmth as well as being steeped in history and age old traditions.

Beethoven Sonata Op.109 1st Mov. Dohnanyi Rec.1960 Sunday, March 20, 2011
Erno Dohnanyi was born in what was then Hungary,in 1877. He was a pupil of Istvan Thoman and Eugen d'Albert,both of whom had studied with Liszt.At the age of 18,he composed his Piano Quintet of which Brahms commented,"I couldn't have done better myself." It was Brahms who arranged for its first performance in Vienna in 1895. Not long therafter (around 1900), Dohnanyi became considered to be the greatest Hungarian pianist and composer since Liszt. Pianists of such stature as Josef Hofmann,attended his recitals and many of his compositions found their way into recitals and orchestral concerts. Dohnanyi's love of the music of Mozart,Beethoven and Brahms, was evident in his ealiest recitals and concerts.While many other pianits were playing solon type music and showy operatic transcriptions at the turn of the 20th century, Dohnanyi was playing Beethoven Sonatas and Mozart Concerto's. His 1928 recording of the Mozart Concerto in G K453, was for many years the only recorded version available. Dohnanyi conducted the orchestra from the piano. That was 80 years ago. Needless to say, he was highly criticized for doing so. However,unlike Schnabel, Dohnanayi also admired the music of composers such as Johann Strauss (as did Brahms) and Leo Delibes whose music he transcribed to play as bon bons to end his recitals. As a composer,Dohnanyi was a Romantic who had a great respect for classical form. He was very much influenced by the music of Johannes Brahms who, as mentioned earlier ...

Helene Wildbrunn, Liebestod, Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (Unpublished take ,1919) Sunday, February 13, 2011
The great Austrian dramatic soprano Helene Wildbrunn (1882-1972) in "Mild und leise" from Act 3 of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. This take, which was unpublished, was made in 1919 for Deutsch Grammophon. Wildbrunn was one of the most outstanding Hochdramatische of her era. Among her admirers were Lotte Lehmann, who wrote of her 'noble art'. The following biographical notes come from "Subito-cantabile: a site for collectors of great singers of the past" (www.cantabile-subito.de): "She was a pupil of Rosa Papier-Paumgartner at the Conservatory "Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde," who had previously taught Anna Bahr-Mildenburg and Lucie Weidt. At the beginning of her career she sang contralto and mezzo roles and made her debut at the Municipal Theatre in Dortmund in 1907. In one season she sang twenty-three roles! Having married her tenor partner Karl Wildbrunn, she gradually began to take over the soprano repertoire but even in 1913 she still sang Waltraute, Erda, Fricka and Brangäne. In the following year she was engaged to the opera house in Stuttgart and she concentrated chiefly in the dramatic Wagner repertory where she stayed for five years. Her subsequent roles were Rezia, Amelia, Leonore, Brünnhilde in Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, Valentine in Les Huguenots, Kundry and the Marschallin. From 1918 she was a member of the Berlin State Opera and in 1925 at the City Opera where she shared the dramatic roles with Margarete Bäumer . In 1919 she sang at the Vienna State opera ...

The Ambush of Mugs! Friday, January 7, 2011
Drinking tea or coffee in an interesting beverage ceramic mug and a conversation gets more interesting if the subject happens to be pottery. No mugging story when involved in the illustrious tea ceremony Cha-no-yu that essentially means water for tea. A tea ceremony based on the etiquette of serving tea.
Cha-no-yu literally means tea and hot water and refers to the Japanese Tea Ceremony. An elaborate ceremony, where the tea gets prepared gracefully, with expertise and practiced motions, where the powdered tea gets measured out into a bowl, water gets added, and the tea gets whisked with a bamboo whisk to serve a guest. Intricately crafted pottery forms an important part of this ceremony.
Ceramic pottery gets made with the ancient techniques of making fired clay objects. Ceramic or porcelain vessels have gained significance due to several reasons. Unlike metals and plastics, the hard fired clay continues to be resistant to almost any liquid, gas, acid, or alkali. The brittle earthenware also holds up to high temperatures. No mean mug story, the intricacies of the making of a ceramic mug.
Consider the high temperatures of between about 1200 degrees Celsius and about 1400 degrees Celsius that the kiln gets fired at. The strength and translucence of porcelain arises from the formation at high temperatures within the clay body of the mineral mullite and glass. A simple yet heated argument and no fights or abuses to make a ceramic mug.
The origins of the naming of porcelain can be traced to a shiny Venus-shell called porcella in old Italian. Question the age of porcelain and step back in time to the years between 25-220 AD. Today as in the past porcelain continues to be valuable to the table and the kitchen, to the bathroom the tile.
Porcelains characteristically are of high strength, are resistant to the passage of electricity and are also resistant to chemical attacks. Wise are the ways of a dentist, when making false teeth, caps, and crowns out of porcelain. The wisdom of the wisdom tooth unmatched here.
The word ceramic finds origins in the Greek word kermikos that literally means the earth of potters or pottery. Ceramics as a singular noun refers to the craft of making things out of ceramic materials. Since ages traditional crafts have used traditional clays for the making of pottery. Raise a toast to the making of a ceramic mug.
Milk is known as latte in Italian and thus the naming of the Latte mug. Latte mugs are especially for people who prefer less of espresso and more of milk with a thin layer of froth. Use Latte mugs and pretend to have found the legendary land of milk and honey.
Jumbo mugs or Grande mugs are larger than the regular coffee mugs. A jumbo drink of hot coffee or creamy cocoa and this ceramic mug finds an important place at the study table. Cappuccino mugs or soup mugs along with saucers are smaller than the latte mugs.
A Beer Stein has a hinged lid and a thumb lift handle. A traditionally German beer tankard this ceramic mug known as a Beer Stein. Coffee Barrel mugs, Diner mugs, Bistro coffee mugs, Vienna coffee mugs, Travel mugs and Camper coffee mugs are other porcelain mugs with varied patterns.
A message via a ceramic mug as the medium has found importance as a valuable gift. Ornate patterned ceramic mugs of varied shapes and sizes have found prominence on shelves at gift shops. Corporations are frequently using ceramics for promotional purposes. There have been various instances of ceramic coffee cups being packaged with coffee powder. No mean message in a bottle story this ceramic mug inscribed with a message.
Mugs shaped into animal faces are not recent additions to collections of ceramic mugs. Matte finish, glazed finish, marble, and other textures on mugs have been found to interest many a table. The story of the ceramic mug continues as the journeys continue from the kiln to the table and various other places.
Scream a Happy Birthday message on a mug and certainly get excused from being penalized for doing that belatedly. Inscribe with a personal message and the cup becomes a favorite of a favorite. Pull out a character from the cartoons, print on a mug and the kid finds a smile.
Coffee or tea whether hot or cold, beer whether light or strong, the clay of the potter holds forth an elegant approach to a drink. For the love of the earthen with a down to earth approach, a ceramic mug with an interest in consumption.
The mug and the drink ambushed.

Great Things to See on Holiday in Vienna Monday, January 3, 2011
Vienna is the largest of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most important city. Many holiday makers come to Vienna and stay in self catering holiday accommodation. Many families and couples rent self catering holiday apartments as holiday rentals in Vienna.
It is not only the political capital of Austria but also its cultural and economical centre. Despite its small size Vienna has marked its place not only on the Austrian landscape but also on the world map. In 2001, the city centre center was given the status of World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
A study of 127 world cities conducted by an Economist Intelligence Unit in 2005 ranked Vienna, with Vancouver, first for the quality of life. As of 2008, Mercer Human Resource Consulting has listed Vienna to have the 2nd highest quality of living.
The city proves to be an interesting study for a history lover. Originally a Celtic settlement, the city was founded around 500 BC. In the heart of the city lies the district of Innere Stadt. This district was once surrounded by walls and open fields so as to render potential attackers without any kind of cover.
In 1857 the walls were brought down to allow the city to grow and eventually mix with the nearby villages. In place of the walls, a boulevard was created called the Ringstrabe. There are several such places that bring together history and beauty.
Vienna is often aptly described as the temple of culture. One can spend an indefinite time admiring and relishing its culture. The district is full of museums; it also has a dance center, children's museum and a theatre. One must visit the homes of legendary composers like Mozart and Haydn.
A visit to Vienna State Opera is also worthwhile. It has a neo-renaissance facade and auditorium and a stage built with state-of-the-art technology. One can also watch the famous Lipizzan stallions perform at the Hofburg Palace. The structures surrounding the Ringstrabe are themselves a major tourist attraction.
They include the Rathaus which is a neo-gothic designed building that is also the seat of mayor and the local government; the Burgtheatre; the University; the two museums of fine art and natural history; and the Staatsoper.
The beautiful city of Vienna offers various tours that allow the visitor to admire its beauty from different angles. These tours follow different paths for example one tour scouts the locations of the famous films. There are bus tours, boat tours and tramway tours. Riding the traditional Fiaker or the horse drawn carriage is a romantic though expensive way to see the city.
One must not forget to visit the international icon of Vienna i.e. The Wiener Riesenrad, built in 1897 to commemorate Kaiser Franz Josef's silver jubilee. This Ferris wheel may not be as big as the latest big wheels but it looks charming and gives a sense of romance.
Vienna also hosts various festivals around the year. For example the Viennale Film Festival organized in the last two weeks of October. One should enquire about the various festivals going on in the city during their visit and visit them to experience the spirit of Vienna.
It is now possible to understand why so many people come on the vacations to Austria. There are some stunning self catering holiday apartments that act as an ideal base to explore the culture of Vienna. Holiday rentals offer great value for money and there is a superb selection of self catering holiday accommodation to rent as holiday homes in Vienna.
