Aki Nuredini's Ristorante SOLE in Vienna's Annagasse has an exceptional reputation, especially in music circles. Better one
should say: sound. Everything here is melody: the harmonious architecture, the classics in harmonic tonality on the menu,
and finally the Padrone himself, a father figure for all the singers, performers, directors, and audiences of the nearby temples
of the muses: the State Opera, the Musikverein, and the Konzerthaus. The richly illustrated volume offers insights into the biography of the Padrone, into the local history of Vienna's Annagasse
and the rich Viennese musical life of the last 30 years: it is about role debuts and cancellations, first performances, reprises,
artist quotations, which - from a distance in time - often read with thoroughly amused astonishment... The Authors
