Английская Википедия:Bio's Bahnhof
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox television Bio's Bahnhof (Bio's station) was a music talk show presented by Alfred Biolek on German television from 1978 to 1982. It was produced live with performers of a wide range of music genres in a former railroad depot. Biolek was awarded the Adolf-Grimme-Preis in gold for the series in 1983.
Program
Alfred Biolek tried a new concept in Bio's Bahnhof, which he conceived for the broadcaster WDR in Cologne: a mix of music genres, and an unusual setting in a former industrial site.[1] He collaborated with stage designers Шаблон:Ill and Шаблон:Ill. Flimm searched for large halls with an original atmosphere around Cologne, and found a tram depot in Bonn, and a former depot of the Шаблон:Ill in Frechen, which was chosen.[1][2]
The central idea of Bio's Bahnhof was a mix of many music genres, including pop music, hunting ensemble, classical music and contemporary music such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mauricio Kagel. Biolek talked with composers and performers, meeting many representatives of the different styles.[1]
Kate Bush made her first television appearance in the first issue of Bio's Bahnhof.[3] The show also presented dance ensembles, but rarely as they were expensive, compared to individual performers. Sammy Davis, Jr. was available for only 5,000 DM, because Fritz Rau used the appearance as advertisement for his tours.[1] Stars were encouraged to present something unusual, for example a duet of two artists who normally don't perform together; in 1979 Adriano Celentano sang a duet with Elke Sommer, Angelo Branduardi with Esther Ofarim, in 1980 Udo Lindenberg performed with Nana Mouskouri, and in 1982 Mario Adorf with Milva. The American Helen Schneider performed the German traditional "Heidenröslein" in 1978. Biolek, as amateur, sometimes performed with his guest, dancing with Hazy Osterwald and the Kessler-Zwillinge, singing with Caterina Valente and participating in a "clowns" act.[1]
Each show was meant to present one humorous entry, such as comedian Emil Steinberger.[1] The group Folies Parisiennes, of men dressed like Mireille Mathieu and presenting her song "Akropolis Adieu", had to come a second time by popular demand.[1]
In 1982, Biolek decided that he had experimented in enough fields in the show, and wanted to try something else.[1] A later sequel was named Шаблон:Ill (At Bio's). Ten years after the last show, a special edition was aired on 2 October 1992 from the roundhouse of the former producer of locomotives, Orenstein & Koppel in Babelsberg.[4]
Awards
In 1983, Biolek was awarded the Adolf-Grimme-Preis in gold for the series.[5][6]
