Strau$$ – A Little Dance Between the Chairs
That the waltz-drunk "Duidu, Duidu" and its relaxed counterpart "Dudidubidu" are actually just a stone's throw away from each other, not much more than "a warm embracing dance away" – this has been clear to the masters of Mnozil Brass for ages. For more than thirty years, the seven virtuosos have been effortlessly gliding between Johann Strauss and Frank Sinatra, between Shostakovich and Prince, or passionately moving from Schubert to their kindred spirits in Queen. They care little for the solemn grandeur of one side or the supposed banality of the other.
But Strauss – who was fervently admired by Brahms, Wagner, and Verdi, as well as by craftsmen and the girls from the suburbs (and even a Gershwin) – was the original father of nonchalant dancing between the chairs. Strauss was the first to produce hits at a rapid pace, he hired an arranger to work faster, and he understood that he could reproduce his sound worldwide with his brothers. He was the first to blur the lines between high and low culture and became a mass phenomenon as the waltz king – the cash registers had never rung sweeter. In Strau$$, Mnozil Brass now reveals everything about Strauss. Even the last bit.
In the end, all that remains is the naked truth.
Mnozil Brass
The Mnozil inn is located in the 1st district of Vienna, directly across from the music university. Fortunately, in 1992, seven young brass players gathered for regular musician meetings at Josef Mnozil. Classical folk music soon transformed into applied brass music, played fundamentally without sheet music, suitable for all occasions: typical brass band music, hits, jazz and pop music, opera, and operetta. Without fear, reproach, or reservations, but with a lot of Viennese charm and great finesse.
Mnozil Brass now plays around 100 concerts a year worldwide: across Europe as well as in Israel, Russia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Canada, America, and Australia. They fill venues like the Burgtheater in Vienna, the KKL in Lucerne, the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum, the opera houses of Munich, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, and Leipzig, the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus, and the Berliner Ensemble. They also fill the Mnozil inn, but in a different way.
