Oswald von Wolkenstein - politician, knight, world traveler and at the same time poet, musician and legendary figure: his songs tell of adventures on journeys throughout Europe, to the Council in Basel (where his second song manuscript was also produced), of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and of his shipwreck in the Black Sea. But they also show us how closely connected he was to his homeland, South Tyrol, when he sings about the cold winters in his castle or vividly describes the awakening of spring in Val Gardena. His enigmatic personality ultimately turned him into a local legendary figure. Legend has it that there was a magic spell on his hand that caused him to break any musical instrument he touched. This is why he was called "Man de fyèr": iron hand. In the concert, these two poles of the "last minstrel" are brought together and linked with his legend.
