The artistic and cultural year 2024 ended with a very unusual concert by pianist and composer Larissa Richter. At the same time, it marked the end of the much acclaimed and versatile exhibition "The successful casting" by Gerold Jäggle. Inspired by the wonderful bronze sculptures of Gerold Jäggle, she took the guests back to the Baroque period, the world of George Frederic Händel, who worked in Germany, Italy, but above all in England in his time. With the pieces "The harmonious Blacksmith" and "Sarabande und Variationen in D minor" she opened the concert evening in an artful and refined way. Together with Maurice Ravel, one of the most important representatives of Impressionism in music alongside Claude Debussy, she enchants the audience with Far Eastern music stories such as "Laideronette, Impératrice des pagodes" and a Baroque dance "Pavane pour une infante défunte". The romantic composer George Bizet, whose opera Carmen is known worldwide, conquered the audience with an Afro-Cuban dance, the Habanera, interpreted by Larissa Richter in the spirit of the master. At the end, she introduced the multifaceted and rhythmically passionate Spanish world of Isaac Albéniz and Joaquin Turina Pérez. The work by Turina Perez "Chansons de la nuit" and the "Suite España" by Albéniz did not fail to have an effect. The audience was unanimous: a great concert at the end of the year, which included all the stages of the life of the artist Gerold Jäggle. He himself enjoyed his journey through time in a very personal way.
