Ernst Molden & Der Nino from Vienna

Ernst Molden & Der Nino aus Wien - Our Austria

Ernst Molden and Der Nino aus Wien are among the most sought-after acts in the Austrian music scene - and have been a classic highlight since the opening of the Theater im Park. Ernst Molden has been performing at the highest level for years - "Molden's new albums are among the most beautiful ever recorded in Austrian pop." (Die Presse, Samir H. Köck) - and Nino Mandl, described as "the best young songwriter in the country" (Gerhard Stöger in Falter), traverse the park side by side for an entire evening, sonically evoking their hometown. They also showcase where the great role models come from. With "Unser Österreich," they reached number 3 in the Ö3 album charts in 2015, of course without ever having played there. In the summer of '26, they will have some new songs with them.

"Ernst Molden and Nino focus here primarily on local songs from the 1970s and early 1980s, giving new, streamlined life to the works of Wolfgang Ambros, Georg Danzer, Falco, André Heller, and Ludwig Hirsch. The often dubious and sometimes grandiose original arrangements are replaced by two guitars, and anyone who believes that Falco's 'Nachtflug' has no place in this setting is sorely mistaken." (G. Bus Schweiger/Skug)
