Music in the Giant 2005

01.05.2005 Swarovski Kristallwelten Wattens

For the second time, the Swarovski Crystal Worlds will be opening their doors in Wattens from 25th to 29th May 2005 for the “Music in the Giant” festival. Highlights of “Music in the Giant 2005” include top class chamber music, a combination of literature and music as well as a personal appearance by the French pianist, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, readings by Hungarian Nobel prizewinner, Imre Kertész, and an evening of song with baritone, Matthias Goerne.

Initially conceived as a year-round series of individual concerts, since 2004 the five-day festival has captivated audiences with its close cross-linking of single events and the opportunity to present an artist in all facets of his abilities. In 2005, the spotlight falls on the French pianist, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of the most diverse interpreters of today’s music scene. Aimard, who as a young man won the international competition, “Olivier Messiaen”, has made a name for himself principally with performances and recordings of contemporary music but is equally an outstanding interpreter of the classical repertoire.
