Vi ønsker Stastny novy rok godt nytår med en kort gennemgang af de 10 mest læste blogindlæg fra 2011. Heldigvis er de bedst besøgte sider på pavel-helge.dk, også dem vi skal leve af.

Prag mindes Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

Pavel Helge — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:40:22 +0000

I går morges døde tidligere præsident Vaclav Havel i sin søvn. Den officielle webside hrad.cz med kondolencebog > Onsdag til fredag vil være officielle sørgedage i Tjekkiet. Begravelsen finder sted på fredag kl.12 i Skt.Vitus katedralen. Siden nyheden bredte sig har tjekkerne sørget. Det er en umulig opgave for os at indfange Havels betydning i [...]

Prag nytår 2011-12

Pavel Helge — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:32:28 +0000

Nytår i Prag er fest, farver og gode øl. Alt det Prag er kendt for. Byen får også mange gæster og det ses på hotelpriserne. I år kan vi tilbyde et pænt 3*** hotel med central adresse til €108/DBL/nat i de dyre nætter, 28.dec til 2.januar. Det er en fornuftig pris, syntes vi. Hotellet har [...]

En perle på bunden

Pavel Helge — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 07:00:22 +0000

Den Gamle by i Prag hedder på tjekkisk Stare Mesto. Denne ældste del af Prag fik status af by først. På tværs af Stare Mesto, fra Krudttårnet og Obecni Dum mod øst til Karlsbroen mod vest, skær den middelalderlige kroningsrute sig langs smukke faceder og mange berømte Prag seværdigheder. Vi har på Facebook henvist til [...]

Pavel Helge — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:00:16 +0000

En favorit restaurant i Prag

Pavel Helge — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:14:46 +0000

I Prag findes der mere end 6000 restauranter, siges det. Hvordan vælger man så den rigtige? Vil du spise tjekkisk med de lokale, er det bedste tip simpelthen at gå efter øl- prisen. En rimelig, lokal pris på fadøl, er næsten lig med garanti for at resten af menukortet er til at betale. Udvalget af [...]

Vin i Mæhren

Pavel Helge — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 10:36:07 +0000

Mæhren (Morava) er den østlige region i Tjekkiet. Den sydlige del, som grænser op mod Østrig og Slovakiet har fire sub-regioner som producerer en meget stor del af alt vin i landet. Varme dage fulgt af kolde nætter og jordbunds forhold giver de rette betingelser. Mæhriske vine vinder nu priser overalt. I den forløbne weekend [...]

Volga (RU, crossover) - Jazzdock, Prag 5 9/11
“Volga” is a fanciful blend of postindustrial electronics and archaic percussion coupled to the boundless and finely nuanced voice of Angela Manukian chanting old ritual songs of Russia in her melodic interpretation. If the former has some approximate analogies to Western experimental music, then on the whole the project does not quite fit into traditional categories of electronica/world music, Russian or Slavic folk, or pagan music. Rather all these elements are interwoven in the group’s work into a new music phenomena.

Speed Caravan (F) - Akropolis 25/9
Speed Caravan er en trio anført af den formidable arabiske lutspiller, Mehdi Haddab, der har rødder i Algeriet. Haddab spiller altså en seriøs spade af en oud (den arabiske lut), hvor han dels tager alle de traditionelle toner fra dette herlige båndløse instrument, og så giver det hele effektboardet af fuzz og overdrive, når det er det, der skal til. Altså klar heavyrock spillet på oud!
