Joseph Haydn lived in the 1750s
in the Michaelerhaus at Kohlmarkt 11,
a few steps from Demel's.
Michaelerhaus windows
are reflected in the table.
Clicking on the image
will take you to an article
by the New York Times music critic Antony Tommasini,
Is That in Your Job Description, Maestro?
A heartwarming tale of stormy weather,
delayed flights, an orchestra forced
to conduct in street clothes
and the unplanned bravura debut by conductor David Robertson
as a singer during the St. Louis Symphony's concert
last Friday at Zankel Hall in New York City.
Enjoy! :-)
Would love to be sipping that coffee!

Oh I do not mind having rendezvous with (or in?) Vienna if only for a cup of coffee!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until computers come with perfumers so that I can at least smell the coffee.
ReplyDeleteVICKIE,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you would enjoy it - it tasted as good as it looks. ;-9
ASH,
oh yes. :-)
JUJU,
would you believe that in the morning I cannot even smell coffee?
In the morning, I need the more delicate flavour of tea, unless I am in Italy, there I drink coffee from morning to midnight. ;-)
ARIJA,
I am glad I was able to share that delightful story with you.
I loved it, wished the Maestro would come to Vienna and sing here too! :-)
A BRUSH WITH COLOR,
ReplyDeletethat article should be considered for the Pulitzer Prize and the conductor for an Emmy Award!
ALLIE,
the cup is on its way! :-)
Happy Wednesday to you too!
THE GIRL FROM CHERRY BLOSSOM STREET,
Oh, I am sure we both would enjoy it! :-)
BUTTERNUT SQUASH,

FREEFALLING;

How can I help you? ;-)
Oh, what I would give to sit in a café in Vienna this morning!
ReplyDeleteA much better coffee in the photo than the one I'm having now while reading this. Though to be fair it is organic coffee from South America from a neighbourhood coffee cafe and store.
