I love Vienna because...

Welcome to the world’s music capital! More famous composers have lived here than in any other city – in Vienna, music is literally in the air: Waltzes and operettas have their home here, and so do musicals "made in Vienna," which have conquered international audiences. In this video musicians tell us why they love Vienna.

-Valentina Nafornita: She comes from a village in Moldova, lives in Vienna, and is conquering the international opera world: the young, charismatic singer Valentina Naforniță. Our interview takes place in the Vienna State Opera, where she became a member of the ensemble in 2011. In 2013 and 2018, she was even asked to open the Vienna Opera Ball. Today, she is one of the most sought-after sopranos of her generation.

-Joshua Bell: He is the music director at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in London, lives in New York and dreams about Vienna. For him, the air here is filled with music and the spirit of the greatest musical geniuses is ever-present. View of pedestrians in the street: every other one carries a violin case.

-Walter Werzowa: The Vienna-born composer and music producer Walter Werzowa landed a number 1 hit in Europe with "Bring Me Edelweiss" in 1990. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he composed film music for blockbusters such as "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise. In 1994, he developed the audio signature for Intel: a three-second jingle of five tones, known around the world. Today, he is, if you will, a guru of audio branding.

-Yuja Wang: In May 2019, the world-class pianist Yuja Wang was visiting Vienna again. She performed at the Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert Schönbrunn with the orchestra. The outdoor classical concert, which is next held on May 21, 2020, is attended by thousands of guests each year. Millions watch on TV.

-Rebekka Bakken: We meet Rebekka Bakken in autumn 2019 in Hall E of the MuseumsQuartier. The cosmopolitan Norwegian is a singer-songwriter and celebrates international success with her music. She has something to say, in her songs and in the interview: with honesty, unadorned directness and thoughtfulness, she talks about the issues of life as well as about pleasures and the attitude towards life.

-Julian Rachlin: Julian Rachlin is a virtuoso on the violin (he plays the "ex Liebig" Stradivarius from 1704) and viola (a Lorenzo Storioni from 1785 is used), as well as a sought-after conductor. Music is his life. Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, Rachlin moved to Vienna with his family as a three year-old. He describes the relationship with his adopted home and the Viennese, who gave him a chance, as a love affair that has endured for 32 years.

-Aleksey Igudesman: A jack-of-all-trades in matters of music – at least, that's how Aleksey Igudesman describes himself to some extent. His appearances as a violinist on the world's concert stages leave behind the impression of amazing virtuosity paired with unbelievable energy that leaves no one cold.

-Juan Diego Florez: From pop to classical, from Peru to Austria: Flórez is a real Viennese by choice. He got married here, he lives here with his family, his children will grow up here. He reserves special praise for his loyal Viennese audience: the Viennese love their musicians, with all their quirkiness, even on days when they aren't in top form.

-Hans Zimmer: The German native Hans Zimmer is one of the great stars in Hollywood’s soundtrack business, with Oscars, Grammies and Golden Globes on his shelf. Hans Zimmer likes coming to Vienna. Because the people are so friendly. Because of the way he is received here. Because of the food. Because of Egon Schiele in the museum. And because here he can listen to music in refined surroundings.
