Muthspiel & Orjazztra Vienna

International Brucknerfest Linz 2025. La Melodia della Strada - Omaggio a Federico Fellini.

Christian Muthspiel and his 17-piece ensemble Orjazztra Vienna pay homage to the legendary Italian film director Federico Fellini. Inspired by Fellini's cinematic masterpieces such as La Strada - Das Lied der Straße, Stadt der Frauen, Schiff der Träume or Ginger und Fred the musicians bring romantic, melancholic, dramatic and comic scenes to life.

They combine an orchestral, at times almost symphonic approach to contemporary jazz with plenty of improvisational freedom. In this way, Muthspiel opens up opulent, fantastic and theatrical worlds of sound with his 'audio film' consisting of four sequences and 17 musical scenes, which in many places are reminiscent of the film music compositions of Fellini's artistic 'partner in crime' Nino Rota, from the excitingly swelling "opening credits" to the exuberant "closing party". The images in your head arise all by themselves - regardless of whether you know Fellini's films or not.
