Greatest Clicks

The SKO plays the way you like it! ... namely the greatest hits with the most clicks of the SKO pieces on Spotify: from evergreen baroque classics streamed millions of times such as Bach's Air, Pachelbel's Canon (no, it's not the only work by this composer) or Vivaldi's crisp Four Seasons to crown jewels of Viennese classical music and classics of the future, which all predictions say will include Valentin Silvestrov's meditative works - not least thanks to reference recordings such as those delivered by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra. And the best thing about it? The music of the Sternstunde is handmade, in real time and in color by a top ensemble whose self-imposed goal long before digitalization was and always will be to introduce the whole world to classical and classical-like music. It is musically presented by someone whose first upright walk, by his own admission, led directly to the piano. Today, he is not only an award-winning cabaret artist, entertainer and "pianist" with countless shows on radio and television, he also has a huge output of songs and lyrics that he has always written himself: Lars Reichow.
