A wonderful performance and incredible playing by the musicians—a quartet—who clearly play straight from the heart. The pieces were familiar, lovely, and emotionally moving; they played Mozart, Monti, Strauss, and other composers. At the entrance to the concert hall, located inside an ancient fortress, you can buy drinks, and restrooms are close by. I recommend arriving a little early so you can make your way to the concert hall calmly and without rushing, as well as take in the view from the panoramic terrace. The funicular ride was also enjoyable. We loved everything and highly recommend it👏🏻

The performance was beautiful and a bit funny. the lady playing the cello was very capable of switching English and German which helped understand the piece a bit more. The moment of climb to the hall was unforgettable because we couldn't really find it but the performance was well worth the effort.
