When one sees the word “Erotica” in connection with classical music, one is usually safe in assuming that it’s a misprint in the title of Beethoven’s Third Symphony. And yet, at the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s concert on Saturday, it was no Freudian slip: Erwin Schulhoff’s Sonata Erotica, which the composer suggestively marked “nur für Herren” (for men only), was on the program.

Für einen fulminanten Abend im Rahmen der Styriarte in Graz sorgte Elisabeth Kulman bei der Präsentation ihres Soloprogrammes La femme, c’est moi.
