Eine Verwöhnung für die Klassikgenießer!
For those that yearn for the memorable, intimate concert experience, I've discovered quite the treat!
The "Stiftskonzerte," a concert series organized by ORF in Upper Austria to feature the province's most treasured abbeys and cloisters, opened its season last month. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of getting in one of the series' concerts at the Kremsmünster Abbey.

A wind quintet performed works by Beethoven, Schubert, Ligeti and, my favorite, Poulenc. The quintet, "Ensemble Wien-Berlin," features players from the renouned Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras. More details on their repetoire are listed on the concert series program:

The hall, known as the Kaisersaal, or the "emperor's hall," complemented the music that evening.
