I still remember Nico and the Navigators (from six years ago, when I saw them live for the first time, with Rossini's Petite Messe Solenelle) as highly musical-professional jokers and general pranksters - at that time I was still "somewhat" upset by their behavior; But in the meantime this individual tendency to excitement has calmed down even with me (one just gets older and more relaxed), yes, and so today nothing can upset me too quickly. .. * Now there has been a two-person play between Ted Schmitz and Fabian Kulp. Plot goes like this: "Two men meet on stage. One is still an acting student, the other has been a tenor for years. One is brisk and confrontational, the other melancholic and pensive. In their search for contrasts, the two characters examine their patterns of thought and behavior and increasingly reflect the big questions and moods of our time. How much freedom do we have to be 'different'? How hard is it to protect social freedom?" (Source: kunst-PR-ojekte.de) So Schmitz is the one who sings and makes music (as in real life, by the way; as a lyric tenor he has had and still has stops here and there at the established houses of this world, yes, and as a songwriter and singer he is currently promoting his CD album under the title wanderingted) - and Kulp is the one who speaks and acts; the latter then acts as the real initiative slinger, who seems to be constantly trimmed to the puffiest blow-out attacks against the kellyfamily-like campfire-uridyll à la 'Kids, honestly, but I can't hear your blathering anymore, do you have something more clever and above all something more rousing to offer your listeners, no, well, then I'll help you out a bit' or so. Because also from Stephan Biewald (electric guitar, banjo and guitar), Philipp Kullen (drums) and Jan Gerdes (keyboard, harmonica, piano) not exactly igniting jumps over to us, which is simply because they just in the most congenial way with the melancholic-sad songs of good Ted, who anyway has a disarming-wonderful voice, not more and also not less than adequately strive to keep up, which in the end then of course works great. In summary, it can now be claimed that then all this chatter (between him & him) with guarantee has not been able to prevent that the current new songs (from good Ted), eight in number, could be sung / played in turn, and without any (disturbing) interference by 'nen third - - and the good Fabian should feel here for God's sake just not addressed; the music, and compared to the disdainful word, just always prevails - if it is good, yet: Unlike you. http://www.kultura-extra.de/theater/spezial/premierenkritik_imgegensatzzudir_niconavigators.php
