Haydnkirche/Bergkirche Photo

Photographer’s Note

Joseph Haydn, one of the greatest figures of classical music who invented the form and structure of the symphony and the string quartet, developped the sonate form as the most important compositional principle till today and presented the world with so many beautiful masterpieces, died in 1809. He was first buried in Vienna then, in 1820, brought back to Eisenstadt where he had lived and worked for more than 40 years in service of the Esterházys. Since then he rests in the Bergkirche, also called Haydnkirche.

The Bergkirche was built between 1715 and 1803 according to the plans of Prince Paul I Esterházy, the same prince who ordered the erecting of the Haydn Hall and called Haydn into his court. In 1954 the Haydn Mausoleum was installed in the church.

I hope you will like my photo and note but believe me, meeting two giants (Haydn and Rostropovich) is far more exciting. Try it!

Hallo Laszlo,
ein schönes Bild dieser Kirche.
Die gelbe Fassade der Kirche bildet einen schönen Kontrast zu den umgebenden Grautönen. Die Farbe wirkt trotz der schlechten Lichtverhälnisse recht kräftig. Auch die Schärfe ist sehr gut. Die Perspektive ist gut gewählt, auch wenn mich die Baustelle vor der Kirche ein klein wenig stört. Aber das kann man sich halt leider nicht immer aussuchen. Zusammen mit deinem informativen Text aber auf jeden Fall eine gelungene Präsentation.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

Guten Morgen László!
Eine Kirche wie ein Gebirge, und eine riesige "Dachlandschaft". Ein wirklich interessantes und ungewöhnliches Gebäude, das insgesamt wunderschön zum Turm hin aufsteigt. Auch die vielen Statuen sind schöne Details. Zusammen mit dem hörenswerten Link wieder ein "runder" Beitrag hier auf TE.
Grüße an die gesamte Mannschaft aus dem nasskalten Siegen bei 3°C! Brrr!

Ciao Laszlo,
è giusto rendere omaggio al grande compositore con questa interessante foto. Molto strana l'architettura di questa chiesa, non saprei definire lo stile, forse barocco, anche se un tetto così non l'ho mai visto. Purtroppo il cielo molto nuvoloso non ti ha permesso di enfatizzare l'immagine con una bella luce, anche se hai dimostrato di sapere gestire la situazione benissimo. Bravo!
ciao, buon w.e.!
Paolo

Helló Lazlo,
Ez a templom nagyon egyedi és csodálatos építészet. Nagyon kíváncsi a különböző tetők szokatlan formák.
Kiváló perspektíva, összetétele és a részleteket.
Üdvözlettel,
Charo

Laszlo,
The cloudy sky helps bring out the nice colors in this fine church. The architecture is great and you have captured it perfectly here. I like the contrast between the front part of the church and the rear. The angle of the shot creates nice depth and direction for the scene.
TFS,
Asa
