Salzburg Fortress Concerts, Salzburger Festungskonzerte

After extensively traveling in Europe I forgot how many times I’ve visited some places, Salzburg is one of them. But, I don’t know why I recall Salzburg  as a lonely city. Whenever I go there I feel that way. This time, when I was sitting at Panorama Restaurant,  I watched awesome mountains and I looked at the panoramic view of the city and  felt same thing again, it is an alone city.

 It is a lonely city, indeed  No crowd, no traffic, no rush, no noise, no air and  lighting pollution.... and, only  serenity for me.  Of course , I came to this end with a comparison with our megapol city Istanbul!!!  

This time we had an opportunity to experience the perform of Salzburger Festungkonzerte on the Salzburg fortress.  

Before concert we had dinner at Panorama Restaurant. It is optional to have dinner before concert or not. We bought tickets accordingly to have dinner there.  Well, is it worth to pay that much money for that standard menu is open to question but it was worth to sit there to watch panoramic view and have a drink. When the weather conditions are good enough, dinner is served to guests participating in the VIP Dinner & Fortress Concert package on the panoramic terrace of the restaurant, offering a breath-taking view of the town and province. 

  The perfomance of Mozart Kammerorchester Salzburg was pretty good, especially wonderful atmosphere of the 900 year old Salzburg fortress was amazing, we experienced much more than just a concert in that amazing place.

The “Best of Mozart Orchestra Concerts” are unique to Salzburg and take place in the most magnificent hall in the city, the Golden Hall on the 900 year-old Salzburg fortress.

The richly carved portals and the four colums are fashioned out of red Salzburg marble.. The massive roof beam is one piece with 17 meters lenght.

 

 The ceiling represents a starry firmament and it is studded with about 3.000 gilded bosses

The saloon was full with so many people from all over the world. Especially I would like to state that formally dressed, elegant  people from far east. I’m not a musician, unable to criticize the performance of the orchestra but only thing I can say I enjoyed each moment in that magical place.  They performed from Mozart, Haydn, Dvorak, Vivaldi and Strauss as well.

The musical enjoyment  is well enough for me to go there once again to a concert in Salzburg.
No matter which time of the year you visit Salzburg, I believe that you’ll  find classical concerts of the highest quality with Salzburg Fortress Concerts.

The view from windows are breathtaking. We had a fantastic sunset view there, I wonder how it is like when snowing!!! Most probably it must be snowy now.

After a splendid time with full of music we  left lonely city Salzburg.  

I'll keep continue to share my notes from Kaprun region.
