EDITORIAL
Dear Members and Friends,
The year 2014 was a very important, exciting and successful one for the IMZ International
Music + Media Centre:
After 30 years we have moved the Avant Première Screenings from midem in Cannes
to Berlin and founded our own and internationally unique trade-fair for performing arts
films, the Avant Première Music + Media Market in Berlin.
Thanks to all dedicated IMZ members and friends who have contributed to this event it
was a huge success, already in its first edition! We had the opportunity to welcome more
than 320 participants from all over the world, started a cooperation with EFM/Berlinale
and thereby strengthened the position of both performing arts films in the international
film industry and the IMZ itself!
For successfully implementing joint projects, initiatives and events such as the video library & special lecture at Classical:NEXT, the International Emmy® Awards Semi-Final
Judging, a special IMZ session at the IAMA Media Day, the Film Festival at Wiener
Rathausplatz, open air made-to-measure music film festivals for the general public
in Brno, Yekaterinburg and Curitiba, industry film screenings and the 2nd edition of the
IMZ Academy at ITF Golden Prague Festival, the IMZ World Music Film Screenings
at WOMEX, a lively exchange with Opera Europa at their Autumn Conference in Brno
and many more – it takes trustworthy and valuable cooperation partners, to whom we
owe a debt of gratitude, our sincere thanks for having once again made an important
contribution to promoting and fostering the cause of the IMZ.
If not for their support as well as the support of all our IMZ members, the IMZ could not
look back on such a successful year that has led us into a new era. Therefore, on behalf of the IMZ board members and our creative and hard-working IMZ team in Vienna:
Thank you for another wonderful year!
As for now, we are preparing and heading for the 2nd and even larger edition of Avant
Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015, with an extended programme from
Avant Première Screenings presenting the latest 550 programmes of 70 companies
worldwide to panel discussions tackling industry relevant topics or a special presentation by Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institut presenting TIME Lab to the public. Last but
not least we are proud to welcome big names of the scene to Avant Première’s Special
Screenings: tenor Placido Domingo, conductor Daniel Barenboim and stage director
Phillipp Stölzl as well as the 2Cellos Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser will be presenting
their latest films in person.
Therefore we are already looking forward to seeing you at Avant Première Music + Media
Market Berlin 2015 and at one or the other interesting IMZ event in the upcoming year!
Best wishes,
Arild Erikstad
IMZ President

IMZ AT INTERNATIONAL PALADINO MEDIA
FILM FESTIVAL AT THE
CURITIBA BIENNIAL –
FICBIC CYCLIST SQUARE
OPERA HOUSE
15 November 2014 | Curitiba,
Brazil
Just as the paladins in ancient history were those who
protected the Good against the Evil, the team of paladino
media aims to protect music and musicians. Besides the
three record labels paladino music, Orlando Records
and Austrian Gramophone, the company also runs a
CD distribution division for the Austrian market, its own
web store and the sheet music publishing brand paladino music. The company’s philosophy is a holistic approach towards artists’ projects, to provide services from
curating artistic content to publishing, distribution and
PR. Company owner and CEO Martin Rummel is not only
an internationally renowned musician himself, but also a
passionate advocate for classical music in general. He is
a member of the board of Austria’s Independent Labels’
Association VTMÖ and president of the association of the
Austrian classical music producers. Besides the knowledge of its own team, paladino media relies on a strong
international business network of affiliates.

On 15 November, Brazil’s Proclamation of the Republic
holiday, the International Film Festival at the Curitiba
Biennial – FICBIC celebrated with a more than special
screening: the opera Carmen, conducted by Andris Nelsons. In partnership with both, the Austrian Embassy and
the IMZ, FICBIC promoted the first ever outdoor Opera
screening in Curitiba.
The screening took place at Cyclist Square, located right
in the heart of the city and second home to an alternative
crowd, always inclined to new experiences. Carmen also
attracted to the Square opera fans and students of music from all over the city. About a hundred people were
expected to show up, but due to the cold weather, few
of them saw the screening until the end. Those who did,
of course, were mesmerized and are hoping to see more
opera shows in the next editions of the Festival…

current Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor Sakari Oramo.
The Stockholm Concert Hall is world famous for hosting
the annual Nobel Prize Concerts attended by both, the
Nobel Laureates and the Swedish Royal Family. Recent
guest artists have included Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming and
Riccardo Muti.
Even though mastery of the vast classical symphonic repertoire is the core objective of the RSPO, the orchestra
actively strives to renew and broaden the range of music available for a symphony orchestra through annual
new music festivals and commissions of new pieces. The
RSPO presents two annual festivals – the Stockholm International Composer Festival and the Composer Weekend,
the latter focusing exclusively on contemporary Swedish
composers.

Messa da Requiem is in itself a work

of blazing brass, mighty choral masses and tour-de-force passages for
four soloists, a work of deepest and
most heartfelt intimacy, a mass for
the dead without any mawkish undertones. (102205 / 108136)
It was a truly affecting and appropriate farewell – the spirit of Claudio Abbado was present in music,
words, and silence. With a deeply
moving concert the Lucerne Festival
Orchestra paid tribute to this extraordinary man: “The emotional intensity
was unbelievable; this could only be
achieved by true musicians, by those
capable of love.” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) Friends and associates look
back fondly on Claudio Abbado and
speak of how they experienced these
moments of grief and farewell.

Music
in the Air
A Film by Reiner E. Moritz to celebrate 50 years
of IMZ – International Music + Media Centre
Music on television has come in various guises over the last
5O years. It was already part of the programme mix at the
very beginning and is still around, more sophisticated than
ever, live and event driven and at it’s best reaching millions –
at any rate more people than those experiencing music
in opera houses, concert halls or other venues. Television
has been instrumental in popularizing music, preserving
precious moments of music making and helping to create
music and performances which would not exist without it.

Bernstein, Anna Netrebko, Igor Stravinsky, Arturo Toscanini,
