Chatoyant melodies of Alpine horn, mountain echo, unique green of Swiss Alpine meadows, freezy freshness of air, crystal cleanness of mountain lakes, birds’ warbles in a shadows of the trees and something more were brought one autumn evening in Almaty by Swiss music group “Mytha” leading by Hans Kennel.

Captivating play of Alpine horn quartet – “Mytha” – is absolutely uncommon for a Kazakh ear nor for Swiss, who got used to listen such sounds only in the mountains and strictly on purpose: gathering cows herds or shouting from one mountain to another to give a sign, – and unique voice play of Betty Legler made public of “Kazakhconcert” applause standing and not only once; hands of those who was video-recodering that evening were completely off.

The evening turned out well. The hall was full of people, ovations, great mood. Everyone who made this concert was encored: Almaty Youth Jazz Band leaded by Tagir Zaripov who played great ‘autumn’ compositions, and Swiss guests who discovered secrets of Unterwalden and Schwyz cantons together with Muttertal that are dear to Swiss musicians that much that it was absolutely clear from the first note.
