She's so good.. I was there when she won the Innsbruck Cesti Prize years ago, and heard her again multiple times in Bregenz and in Karlsruhe. Thanks for the link, I am very much looking forward to listening to that.

Zu der Zeit war die YAR einer der Staaten, die Briefmarken in fragwürdiger Qualität und meist ohne Bezug zum Land zur Devisenbeschaffung an westliche Motivsammler (bzw. eher Kinder) verhökerten. Bzw. windigen Händlern den Druck und Verkauf lizenzierten. Knapp vor Betrug mit Fantasiestaaten.

Don't spend money on the seats there (as they are really uncomfortable and can be relatively far away from the stage), but take the 5-10 pound ticket as a "groundling", standing in the yard. It's an essential part of the fun. One might get a bit wet, though...

I'd suggest a rewrite of some of the dialogue, though, to give the whole thing more Jane Austen flair and a bit less comedy. Yes, the mothers and grandaunts are a lot of fun in novels and movies, but that's because they are only a small part of the whole thing. Too much here, I think.

Die Ökonomen haben durchaus Mittel, auch Sozialstaat, Gerechtigkeit, Zufriedenheit etc. in Modellen abzubilden. Die, die immet in den Medien kommen, tun es nur nicht. Solange "die Wirtschaft" = Grossunternehmen verstanden wird, kann sich nichts verbessern.

Oh no, Hilary Hahn can't play in the Proms due to an injury. Isabelle Faust surely is a fine replacement, but I've heard her so often locally and was so looking forward to hearing Hahn live again after 20 years or so. #bbcproms

Die DB redet gerade wieder von 60% Pünktlichkeit. Meine Stichprobe gestern und heute: 2 Fernzüge, beide >12 min verspätet. 6 Nahverkehrszüge: 1x 4 min, 1x 6 min (das gilt DB noch als pünktlich), 4x > 10 min. Also 0% Fernverkehr, 33% Nahverkehr. Plus Aufzüge kaputt, Tür defekt, Toilette defekt.

Schön aber die immer noch aushängende Versicherung, dass alle Aufzüge zugänglich bleiben. Da steht ja auch nichts von "funktionieren" ...

Fotografieren dürfen und veröffentlichen dürfen sind zwei ganz unterschiedliche Dinge.

Bzw.weniger Hausrecht i.e.S., damals wurde ein fiktiver Benutzungsvertrag angenommen, weil da irgendwo "Foto verboten" aushing (wobei ich mich lange mit einer Museummitarbeiterin unterhalten hatte, die sich über die Fotos für Wikipedia freute, was mir die Gerichte aber grundlos nicht geglaubt haben)

Ich konnte auch nur mit Wortspiel beitragen... Der Kubismus an sich war ja sehr kurzlebig, und der bekannteste Kubist ist noch ewig urheberrechtlich geschützt, daher mache ich in Museen gar nicht erst Fotos...

Bei nicht urheberrechtlich geschützten Kunstwerken sind Museen normalerweise eher dankbar über die Aufmerksamkeit und die Werbung. Die REM Mannheim haben mich allerdings mal verklagt, BGH hat (m. E. gegen jede Vernunft) Hausrechtsverletzung angenommen. Also um ganz sicher zu gehen lieber fragen.
