Self-Titled Summer | Kreisky (2007, Austria)
Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 104 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. This solid indie/noise rock quartet is essentially the side (or, parallel) project of frontman Franz Adrian Wenzl, aka Austrofred, aka "Austria's leading Freddie Mercury interpreter". Though this s/t album - Kreisky's first of soon-to-be seven - sounds nothing like Queen, after listening to it you're likely gonna want to catch up on what's going on in the Austrian music scene.

Self-Titled Summer | Kreisky (2007, Austria)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 104 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point of origin(s): Formed by Franz Adrian Wenzl and Martin Max Offenhuber in 2005, Kreisky is a rock quartet from Vienna, named after the longest-serving Chancellor of Austria. Wenzl and Offenhuber were previously the electronic duo Gelée Royale. Also, since 2002 and to the present day, Wenzl performs in various media (music/radio/TV/film/books) under the persona Austrofred aka “Austria’s leading Freddie Mercury interpreter”, with his music being Austropop lyrics over the instrumentals of Queen tracks. Yep.[1]
The original Kreisky lineup was Wenzl (vocals, keyboard) and Offenhuber (guitar) plus Gregor Tischberger (bass) and Klaus Mitter (drums). This is their debut release. - Tasting notes: Indie rock, noise rock, not Queen
- Standout track: I dig the mini-set of tracks 3 to 6 (“Verschollen in Europa”, “Vandalen”, “Energie”, “Nichtschwimmer”), and also the closer track (“Mit der Musik kamen die Spinner”).
- Where are they now?: This album made a splash in the Austrian indie scene, as did Kreisky’s following releases. Around the same time as this s/t, Offenhuber, Mitter, and Tischberger were also in the Austrian noise band MORD, who would tour with the legendary Damo Suzuki in 2009 and together put out the live improv EP DAMO MORD, featuring Damo on vocals. Tischberger left Kreisky in 2017, and Helmuth Brossmann is now on bass. The band has six studio albums (plus a live album) thus far, with a new one, Adieu Unsterblichkeit, coming out in October.

Happy listening!

Olga Neuwirth -- ....miramondo multiplo... -- Håkan Hardenberger, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra conducted by Alan Gilbert
https://youtu.be/0DZPHhz8z28?si=1IX0qaT7oblj7k0_
Here's a trumpet concerto by Olga Neuwirth, an Austrian contemporary classical composer.
It's divided into five movements or arias, and is full of references to other pieces of music by Bach, Mahler, Miles Davis...I picked up a couple of those but missed many more, I'm sure. I wonder if a work of art that plays off or refers to another work or works fails in some respects if it cannot also stand on its own for the uniformed listener, viewer, or reader. Think, for example, of Picasso's 1954/55 series of paintings and drawings "Les Femmes d'Alger", which draws on Delacroix's " Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement". I'm sure there have been viewers who have enjoyed looking at the former without being aware of the source that inspired Picasso - and there is nothing wrong with that, even if other more informed viwers have a ricer experience.!
I've listened to the piece three times and I'm not sure if I like it that much - with the exception of the fourth aria, which is lyrical,magical and otherworldly, without falling into beauty spa music cheesiness. That movement starts at 11:37 and could be a stand alone piece.
