En rejse ud af Prag II

Pavel Helge — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:40:58 +0000

Inden vi forlod Jihlava og hotel Gustav Mahler, følte vi det absolut nødvendigt at trille en æresrunde på byens smukke og aldeles fornemme Masarykovo Namesti. Vores danske GPS foreslog urets retning rundt om pladsen, men det viste sig at være en uheldig beslutning, da en ung jihlavanesisk betjent, efter kun 100 meter i sydgående retning, vinkede [...]

En rejse ud af Prag

Pavel Helge — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:00:04 +0000

Prag er en af Centraleuropas smukkeste storbyer. Derfor er der også omkring 40.000 danskere der besøger byen hvert år. Rigtig mange kommer igen, og jeg ved, at flere af pavel-helges gæster har besøgt byen mere end 10 gange. Jeg forstår udmærket den fascination. Prag er dragende. Men det store fokus på hovedstaden fjerner samtidig opmærksomheden fra [...]

Smichovs jernbane kongerige

Pavel Helge — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:50:43 +0000

Rejser du med børn til Prag og bliver fanget af regn er her et af byens bedste tip. Kralovstvi zeleznic Jernbane Kongeriget ligger i en enorm kælder midt i det nye Smichov, Prag 5, ved shoppingcenter og hoteller, nær metrostationen Andel. Slut-målet for projektet er 1008m2 modeljernbane, størst bliver en model af jernbaner i Tjekkiet som [...]

Vin i Tjekkiet – Høst 2010

Pavel Helge — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:36:31 +0000

Høsten står for døren i Tjekkiet. Det indvarsler en række festlige weekender i både Prag og provinsen , hvor den tjekkiske vin fejres. Fra september til november drikkes Burcak, en most på de friske druer som er en unik tjekkisk specialitet – nok et kuriosum mere end en delikatesse. I anledningen af de mange vinfester og [...]

Prag september 2010

Pavel Helge — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:09:47 +0000

Prag kultur i september er emnet i denne måneds kulturkalender. I september er der et hav af koncerter i Prag. Hør Sting, ungarske Besh O Drom eller måske amerikanske Wilco til Stimul Festival.

Mucha i Prag

Pavel Helge — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:34:26 +0000

Alfons Mucha, den kendte tjekkiske Art Nouveau kunstner, fejres i år for 150-året for hans fødsel. Alfons Mucha blev født i Moravien, fik sit kunstneriske gennembrud i Paris med Sarah Bernhardt og satte endda sit præg på Prag. Hans sidste enorme arbejde, den Slaviske Cyklus, gav han som en gave til Prag by, malerierne hænger dog [...]

Kutna Hora fotografier (2)

Pavel Helge — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 06:51:34 +0000

Skt. Barbara kirke i Kutna Hora er emnet for de fleste billeder i dette indlæg. Vi havde tidligere billeder fra flere seværdigheder i Kutna Hora >> Vi skrev om Kutna Hora som sølvby >> I Kutna Horas forstad Sedlec findes et berømt knogle- kapel>> I sæsonen 2010 kører vi til Kutna Hora hver lørdag >> Her [...]

August 2010 i Prag

Pavel Helge — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:00:15 +0000

I august er Prag varm, alle kulturinstitutioner har sommerprogram og byen er fuld af turister og lokale på sommerferie. Dagtemperaturen er gennemsnitligt 23 grader, men vi har ofte flere rigtig varme uger, hvor sveden pibler på grund af sol og over 30 grader. Drik masser af vand. I denne kulturkalender har vi netop fokus på ferie- og [...]

Prag markeder med fødevarer

Pavel Helge — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:16:45 +0000

Nye markeder i flere Prag bydele bygger på en ide om lokale produkter, direkte fra producent til forbruger. I hal 22 på Prags marked findes sådan et frugt- og grøntsagsmarked allerede længe. Ideer om friske fødevarer er endelig ved at finde fodfæste i Prag, ligesom ønsker om mere økologi. Det seneste halve år har set åbningen [...]

Franz Kafkas banegård i Prag

Pavel Helge — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:00:43 +0000

I Prag findes der fire større banegårde. Banegård hedder Nadrazi på tjekkisk.Vi skrev tidligere om Wilsonova, hovedbanegården i Prag >> Masaryks banegård skal nedlægges og bygges om til shoppingcenter. I Smichov ligger den vestlige banegård. Dette indlæg handler om den nordlige banegård Nadrazi Franze Kafky eller Prag Holesovice, som flere kender den. Togene fra Berlin – med [...]

Furthermore, you'll have the chance to create an animated film as they're made today, using digital technology.

Through unique specimens, models and a selection of what we call “toys” you can investigate the Earth in a different way than your everyday experience, books or movies. Let us escort you through a volcano experiencing an earthquake, around a Devonian tropical reef or through a Carboniferous forest. You can also meet a skeleton of the giant dinosaur Amargasaurus or the well known Australopithecus “Lucy”. Come and explore the story of Earth from its very beginning through the present human age. When leaving the show-rooms, we hope you will take with you an even greater appreciation of the Earth than before.

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.

The name Otakar Lebeda is not widely known to the general public, due in part to the fact that his paintings disappeared into private collections and in part to the persistent lack of professional appraisals of his work.

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!
