The worlds of gods and men are separated by a vast chasm. This was an idea that fascinated Goethe, Wagner and Hölderlin. The latter was particularly pessimistic about man’s role: to him, fate was nothing more than ceaseless drifting, a blind struggle. Brahms encountered Hölderlin’s poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion’s Song of Fate) in his mid thirties, immediately recognising the potential ...

Away from the tourist trail in Northern Cambodia there is an unspoilt place in the virgin forest, where rare orchids and fragrant frangipani grow, where birds of paradise fly and breath-taking colours await, along with secretive jungle creatures and a perfumed air of peace, combining to create a unique retreat from the modern world.

Six to three. Any Hungarian football fan knows exactly what that means. In fact, much to Hungary’s pride, even the hardcore enthusiasts in England understand the reference. Sixty years ago this week, November 25, 1953, the Hungarian football team defeated England by a score of six goals to three.

- food & drink
Awash with wine as we are in Hungary, it’s nigh on impossible to imagine that globally, we could be in crisis. If anything, I’m noticing more cellars adding their bottles to the supermarket shelves, which may simply mean that marketing has upped a notch or two. Or perhaps I’m being a little more adventurous and dipping my palette into new waters. My current favourite wine region is Szekszárd; ...
