JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 Hours' (directed by Hong Sang-hoon), which aired yesterday (2nd), heightened interest by following the footsteps of artists in Austria, which celebrated the 131st anniversary of diplomatic relations. With the addition of explanations by conductor Ahn Woo-sung and docent Lee Chang-yong, we were able to learn in depth about great music and art artists, including Mozart, Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele.
First, in Salzburg, which is considered the largest musical city in Europe, we were able to find traces of Mozart by visiting Mozart Square, Mozart's birthplace, Salzburg Cathedral, and Mirabell Palace. In particular, Mozart's birthplace displayed the violin he used in Vienna, his hair, a wig, and the score of the Requiem he composed right before his death.
Also, the organ played by Mozart, who worked as an organist at Salzburg Cathedral, and the marble hall where Mozart played at the age of 6 for the archbishop at Mirabell Palace caught the eye.
Next, we headed to Belvedere Palace, which has the largest number of Gustav Klimt's works and also has many of Egon Schiele's works. Related to works such as Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss', which has very different interpretations depending on who the main character is, 'Judith', a sensual expression of the hero Judith who saved the country, and Egon Schiele's 'Death and the Woman', which imitates the composition of 'The Kiss'. The colorful story increased immersion.
Afterwards, following the Klimt Villa, where Gustav Klimt's actual studio has been restored, the Leopold Museum of Art, which houses the world's largest Egon Schiele collection, was able to see representative works such as 'Self-Portrait with Berries' and 'The Cardinal and the Nun'.
Meanwhile, on this day's broadcast, a fortune-telling tour in Hong Kong was also conducted. Starting with Dashi Woo-yan, who curses people she doesn't like, the New Year's fortunes of Kim Sook, Jeon Hyun-moo, and Lee Chan-won made it more fun to watch. Above all, Lee Chan-won burst into cheers as he said that his luck will explode for at least 30 years. When the fortuneteller said that one should expose one's forehead for good luck, Kim Sook arranged Lee Chan-won's bangs so that his forehead was visible, making him laugh.
Like this, JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 O'clock', which provides fun from the footsteps of Austrian masters to MCs' New Year's fortunes, is broadcast every Monday at 8:50 pm.
