Von der Fußgängerzone auf die große Bühne:
Mundharmonika-Spieler Michael Hirte (44) ist das
"Supertalent 2008". Sein Schicksal und seine Musik
rührten Millionen Zuschauer, die den Hartz IV-
Empfänger im Finale der RTL-Show "Das Supertalent"
zum Sieger kürten.

Michael Hirte hat in seinem Leben schon einige
Schicksalsschläge erleben müssen. "Zum Monatsende
wird das Geld oft knapp, dann verdiene ich mir mit
Straßenmusik meinen Lebensunterhalt." Im Jahr 1991
war Michael noch LKW-Fahrer, doch dann kam der Tag,
an dem er einen folgeschweren LKW-Unfall hatte.
Zwei Monate lag er danach im Koma. "Ich habe ein
kaputtes Bein und auf dem rechten Auge kann ich
nichts mehr sehen. Aber ich habe ein Ziel." Michael
wollte in die Endrunde der quotenstarken RTL
Sendung "Das Supertalent".

"Ich möchte zeigen, was eine Mundharmonika kann!
Die Mundharmonika ist meine Stimme." Das hat er
zweifelsohne geschafft: Michael Hirte setzte sich
am Samstagabend gegen seine neun Mit-Finalisten
durch uns sicherte sich mit über 72% der
Anruferstimmen den Titel "Das Supertalent 2008".

Bereits am kommenden Freitag, den 5. Dezember,
erscheint das Debütalbum des 44-jährigen Musikers
mit dem Titel "Der Mann mit der Munharmonika" .
Darauf finden sich neben denen aus der Show
bekannten Stücken "Ave Maria", "You Raise Me Up"
(mit dem er das Halbfinale bestritt) und "Stille
Nacht" neun weitere Stücke aus den verschiedensten
Genres, darunter neben dem Schlaflied-Evergreen
"Guten Abend, Gute Nacht" auch diverse
Pop-Klassiker wie z.B. Art Garfunkels "Bright
Eyes", Cat Stevens "Morning Has Broken" und Paul
McCartneys "Mull Of Kintyre".

LUBOMÍR PLEVA (harmonica)

PAVEL KUHN’S CHORUS

OSTRAVA RADIO POPS ORCHESTRA

Conductor: PAVEL STANÉT

Few peopie can probably be found in the musicaily more sophisticated countries who have not, at some moments in their lives, tried to piay the harmonica and learn the way its pitch is manipulated by exhaiing and inhaling. Harmonica playing Is similarly widespread as, for instance, table-tennis, and a similarly wide gulf lies between an incidental pingpong dilettante and a celluloid-ball magician from (let us say) Japan, as between someone who can manage “Jingle Belis” on the mouth.organ, and a real virtuoso master of the popular tiny instrurnent.
LUBOMIR PLEVA, b. July 31, 1929, at Grygov near Olomouc, Is a true master of the harmonica, or rather the chromonica, a version of the instrument which features ali 12 notes in the octave. Since this LP recording was meant to give Pleva the opportunity to employ the full range of his technique, the entire Side 1 features compositions dominated by virtuoso elements, or concert compositions in which Pleva can demonstrate his breathing technique, his phrasing, and the entire array of the skilis of a fine instrumental soloist. Side2features Pieva in lyric compositions or entertainment numbers. Throughout, his partner Is the Ostrava Radio Pops Orchestra under Pavel Stank, a body which shows how many reaiiy good instrumentalists can be found even in Czechoslovakia’s less well-known ensembies. The reai co-author of this recording is arranger Zbyek Bittmar, also of Ostrava, who knows sufficiently the potential of this special instrument, and with whom our soioist has had a working partnership since his very first public appearances.
Lubomír Pieva took up music-making at the age offive when he started to study the violin, and upon his graduation from secondary schooi he had to choose between a musical or a sports career. Sport—track and field —won, and Pleva graduated in 1953 from the University of Olomouc as secondary school teacher of physical education. However, his interest in music had not waned: Pleva was the leader of the university’s cymbalom band, from time to time he played the bass in jazz bands, and his fans at the University Ciub often made him perform the harmonica skills he had practised on the long trips to sports meets. In 1955, Plevafirst performed at Czechoslovakia’s top amateur music competition — and placed first. (50 did he in ali the competitions in CSSR in which he took part later.) At that time he was already recording for the Brno Radio, and his success with the listeners also brought him engagements with the Ostrava Radio. Pleva has recorded by
now some 150 highly varied items far broadcasting purposes, pius incidental music far films, theatrical stages and TV shows. His international successes have also become increasingly notable since his first performance — in 1964 — far the taperecording competition organized by the Fédération lnternationale de l’Harmonica at Trossingen. He first appeared in person at the 1968 Harmonica Weltfestspiele at Lucerne, where he placed 3rd, but in a similar competition at Eindhoven (Holland) he was already lst in the harmonetta category (the harmonetta is roughly speaking — a harmonica with a keyboard), and finally, in 1972, he managed a “grand slam” at Baarn (Holland), where he placed first in both categories, and on top of that won the Main Festivai Prize far the best artistic performance. With that, Pleva secured a permanent position among the world’s best harmonica blowers, not only through his technical skill, but also because of the extensive range of his repertoire, from classical subjects to jazz improvisation. He has achieved ali that as an amateur: his actual profession is still that of secondary school teacher at Plerov, a mediumsize Moravian town.
