The 82-year-old Fritz Jurmann is the nestor of Vorarlberg concert criticism. The writer Robert Schneider recently met him and interviewed him for the “Krone”.
He is appreciated by his colleagues in his field for his vast musical knowledge and elegant way of writing. The executors are afraid of him because he listens well and does not allow himself to be fooled. He remains incorruptible, even if he has taken someone into his heart. Then harsh but always objective words are spoken. Since 1952 he has not missed a single multiple premiere at the Bregenz Festival. At the age of 82, he still exudes an unbridled passion for discovering musical talent in the region. He recently had to stop playing the liturgical organ, which he has been practicing for decades, because his legs no longer work as he would like. “You know, in churches the stairs to the organ galleries are often steep and dark. It’s just become too risky for me.”
