Les Brunes and Beethoven: Long Live The King!

23/06/2023

I Am Bacchus.
So said Beethoven. "Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken."
And I am a bit of Red Bull, too... "To some it's Napoleon, to some it's philosophical struggle, to me it's allegro con brio." That was conductor Arturo Toscanini talking about Beethoven's Eroica Symphony.
We will make the Beethoven Eroica Masterclass and Competition for Condcutors in Bucharest at the Bucharest Music Institute this July. Sign up today!

After my conducting a spectacular Rite of Spring in Kyoto, why not celebrate the arrival of spring with a Sauternes? Beethoven just might approve. The joy of wine and music on IamBacchus.com

The New Year has past, Strauss has been played, the voice of Spring is on its way, and what better way to warm the heart then to hear the songs of nature calling, (even if in winter) and to listen to Beethoven's Pastoral...

Most people know I am the Principal Conductor of the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra. Orchestra Simfonică București - Bucharest Symphony Orchestra
Mostly everyone knows I love a good wine. IamBacchus.com

Today, March 9, is an important date in Romanian tradition. It is celebrated with ritual drinking. Tradition requires men (and why not women?) to drink 40 glasses of wine on this day for the 40 martyr saints (in some regions they drink 44 glasses!). This tradition, however, seems to draw its roots from the celebrations dedicated to the Roman god Bacchus.

On this day, graves and the gates of Heaven are believed to open, and the souls of the dead descend among the living. Who would I drink with? Beethoven, of course.

For this reason, I happily announce on this March 9 day of drinking my revised website of www.Iambacchus.com, taken after a quote from Beethoven:

“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.”

So be a Bacchus, have some wine, and take a look at the site and sign up for the newsletter or contact me to subscribe. On these pages, wine and music are presented in parallel, in concert, in a duet of delicious parables about symphonies and scores and oenophile experiences. What to serve the mind and mouth. Where wine and music meet, over a theme, a composition or a concert, and the best of life can be savored. I AM BACCHUS is your portal to a more maliciously delicious musical life.

IamBacchus is where classical music conductor John Axelrod shares his passion for wine, food and music, as well as his events and products.
