Dienstagssalon with Max Rademann and Torkler Bornstein
Only the best from jazz, indie pop, electronics, improvisation and new music! Talk show host Max Rademann regularly invites both well-known and unknown musicians to the Tuesday Salon to present them to the audience in a relaxed atmosphere, musically and in casual conversation.
The Dresden musicians Wolfgang Torkler (piano) and René Bornstein (double bass) are dedicated to expansiveness and deceleration and create a sound cosmos all their own. The work with acoustic samples and loops, pedal noises or beard noise fit organically into the overall sound.

After his postgraduate studies, he received a scholarship abroad in 1997 as part of a master class and studied at the “Berklee College of Music” in Boston (USA).
In 1999 he met the actor Rolf Hoppe and an intensive collaboration developed with numerous live programmes and 2 CD productions. As pianist and main composer of his Latin band Tumba-ito he travelled to Cuba and released 2 CDs so far (“Viajantes” ’05, “Gozando la Vida” ’11). In 2006 he worked together with Heinz Rudolf Kunze. There are already 5 solo CDs by Wolfgang Torkler, “unvorhergesehenes” (’97), “land” (’00), “luftjahre” (’05), “raum” (’08) and “über die See” (‘2014). In 2015 he produced a selection of his solo compositions on a trio CD with musicians from Boston and Cyprus/Turkey.
