Also the concert season 2021 was suffering under the pandemic restrictions. Again and again the festival management tried, with great help of their very flexible agenda, to fix new dates. And that made it possible to record some of the evenings, programmed in the Vol. 40.

The classical orientated program made it on 2 CDs incl. A world premiere from Kit Armstrong (for Alfred Brendel). Like in previous years the 3rd CD has been reserved for a Jazzline performance, executed and composed by A Bu who installed an energetic, exciting and diversified agenda with 12 tracks.
