Thank you for joining us for the last 3 seasons! It's hard to believe, but we are starting a new season. We are excited about the upcoming episodes! We continue our conversation about the context of time, the experience of the audience, and the structure of a concert programme. François plays a beautiful air for us with its exquisite ornaments, and together we read another movement from a duet by Michel Pignolet de Montéclair. A bonus at the end of the episode - a crash course from François on how to recognise and improve the ornaments that are already in the score and masquerading as main notes.

This is the first part of the episode with flute and bagpipe player, founder of the ensemble Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien François Lazarevitch and the last episode of season 3. Thank you for following us and listening to the podcast!  We look forward to the next season with many inspiring conversations and pieces to listen to. This spring, on my way back to Basel, I passed by beautiful Rouen and its magnificent Gothic architecture. It was an incredible evening spent at Francois' house drinking tea and talking about the legendary teachers he had met along the way, the mystery that draws us to music, the aesthetics of modern life that help us express ourselves in ancient music. This conversation was a wonderful joy of interaction.

Today I had an inspiring conversation with a Royal Academy professor, lutenist Elizabeth Kenny. We talked about the lecture she gave at the Basel lute Days conference. We tried to find a way to connect early music and its discourse with the modern reality of the #blacklifesmatter and #metoo movements, and how we should deal with the context of such different eras. Elizabeth Kenny is one of Europe's leading lute players. In twenty years of touring she has played with many of the world's best period instrument groups and experienced many different approaches to music making. She played with Les Arts Florissants 1992-2007 and with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment 1997-2015 and still returns to initiate seventeenth century projects such as The Hypochondriack and A Restoration Tempest. https://elizabethkenny.co.uk As a soloist she is committed to a diverse range of repertoire, from the ML Lutebook (a much-praised CD released on Hyperion records)to new music for lute and theorbo: she has premiered works by James MacMillan, Heiner Goebbels and Benjamin Oliver, and these will be recorded alongside seventeenth century solo music for theorbo in October 2018 for Linn records. With Theatre of the Ayre she judged the National Centre for Early Music's Composers' Award in 2016. Liz Kenny is Director of Performance at the University of Oxford, and professor of Lute at the Royal Academy of Music. she was Professor of Musical Performance and Head of Early Music at Southampton University 2009-18. She was an artistic advisor to the York Early Music Festival from 2011 to 2014.

Our guest today is the outstanding recorder player Erik Bosgraaf. https://www.erikbosgraaf.com Erik is a visiting professor at the Krakow Academy of Music in Poland and gives master classes all over the world. He also teaches the famous recorder class at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where he himself studied. He is widely regarded as one of the most virtuosic recorder players in the world and certainly the most inspiring, with endless possibilities. His repertoire ranges from medieval music to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the music of tomorrow. As a soloist, he is regularly invited to conduct the orchestra himself. In today's interview, we talk about the etymology of the word "recorder," the vibe of Amsterdam in music, reading music as an important skill, and Darina will turn into a strange thing at the end of the episode! The piece of the episode - a sonata by J. J Quantz, written for recorder, traverso and basso continuo.

One may ask: How is the subject of historical dance related to the main theme of our podcast, namely sight-reading? In our humble opinion, this connection is close and long lasting, and is very much determined by the context of the period and its surroundings. And why? Listen to our episode with professional dancer and violinist Mojca Gal and the founder of Les Soirées Amusantes, an association dedicated to the lifestyle of the late 18th century, Christian Robardey-Tanner. In today's episode, these unique guests will shed light on 18th century literature and explore the context of the time, dances, social behaviour, and intellectual games. Together we will consider historically informed performance practise, tempi, and other important existential questions. We will also sight-read some dances together. Aimabile by Feriol was recorded by Mojca with the help of Thys Grobelnik.

Today's episode is a series of interviews with Ukrainian musicians now living in Switzerland. Some of them fled the war, others settled here and decided to stay. Among them is a German musician who helped his friends get their parents out of Ukraine during the war. They are all my friends and it was the most emotional conversation I have ever had. They told me and Sébastien their stories, they talked about what they experienced during the war and how it affected their relationship with music.

In today's interview we talk to a Belgian musician, an eminent flute player, researcher and professor Barthold Kuijken. Barthold visited Basel as part of a conference dedicated to historical flutes of the 19th century. Sebastien and I were pleased to hear in this episode not only the flute-related thoughts of our guest, but also his perspective on other aspects of music, the educational system, life and its context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barthold_Kuijken The Flute in the 19th Century, watch the conference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkSVSF3m1ZE Discover more video footage on our Telegram channel, Instagram, Facebook, etc. https://insightreadingenlightenment.carrd.co Write to us if you want to support us insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com Darina and Sebastien #Kuijken #bartholdkuijken #harpsichord #insightreadingenlightenment #earlymusicpodcastinsightreadingenlightenment #flute #fortepiano #baroque #baroquemusic #podcast #earlymusicpodcast #romanticmusic #darinaablogina #sebastienmitra #darinaabloginapodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/insight-reading/message

Today's episode is dedicated to the biblical story in which King David laments the death of his son Absalom. This plot and the piece "Fili mi Absalom" written by Heinrich Schütz are relevant to the latest reality and at the same time to the Passion story. Absalom, the third son of King David and his wife Maachah, seemed to have everything he wanted, but like other tragic figures in the Bible, he tried to take what was not his. Absalom's story is one of pride and greed, of a man who tried to thwart God's plan. Instead, his life ended in violent ruin. David was heartbroken over the death of his son, the man who had tried to kill him and steal his throne. He loved Absalom with all his heart. David's grief showed the deep love of a father over the loss of a son, as well as regret over his own personal failures that led to many family and national tragedies. The motet "Fili mi Absalom" from the collection in 1629 Symphoniae sacrae I, Op.6 (No.13) was composed for a bass voice, 4 trombones and basso continuo. We talk with great musicians Johanna Bartz, Valerio Zanolli, Tin Cugelj, and Adrian King about the 17th century instrumentation tradition, the structure of this composition, and the possible interpretation of Madness and Mourning. We recorded this episode in January before the war in Ukraine, but we realised how relevant the music is to the new reality.

In today's interview, our conversation partner Johannes Keller, teacher at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and musician, will talk about a unique instrument recreated from a coin and historical flyer of the 16th century (!), based on the descriptions of Vicentino. Arciorgano is the only prototype of this instrument in the world which exists within the walls of the Schola. We will learn more about Vicentino's theory, humanism and Ancient Greece, hear the difference between minor and neutral thirds, learn about new Vicentino harmonies and the mysteries of historically informed design.

The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all. We will find out in today's episode featuring the brilliant singer Maya Amir. https://aicf.org/artist/maya-amir/ Maya's album on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1LVvM5W9d9fMPYGD2cvZoD?autoplay=true https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmJWvGzUx7k05kbgoCuX2A The score on the music stand for today is an early cantata by George Frideric Handel for voice, traverso or oboe and basso continuo. George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) wrote at least three versions of the cantata to the text Mi palpita il cor. These were composed during the first years after he had established himself in England some time between 1710 and 1713. The musical material of the different versions corresponds only in parts. The information found in sources appears to be rather complex. In the Händel Werke Verzeichnis(HWV) only four versions of the cantata are recorded (a-d) although at least six versions of the complete cantata as well as single arias exist. The various copies also show considerable differences and embellishments of which the origin is partly not known. The score: https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/a/a6/IMSLP282369-PMLP458234-Mi_palpita_il_cor.pdf The text: Arioso e Recitativo: Mi palpita il cor, né intendo perché, agitata è l'alma mia, né so cos'è. Tormento e gelosia, sdegno, affanno e dolore da me che pretendete? Se mi volete amante, amante son; ma, oh Dio, non m'uccidete, che il cor fra tante pene più soffrire non può le sue catene. Arioso e Recitativo: I feel my heart beating for reasons I do not know, I feel my soul in turmoil but ask myself for what. Anguish and jealousy, fury, grief and pain, what is it you demand? If you want me to love, I will be loving: but, oh God, do not kill me, since my aching heart no longer can abide its chains. Aria: Ho tanti affanni in petto, che qual sia il più tiranno io dir no'l so. So ben che do ricetto a un aspro e crudo affanno e che morendo vo'. Aria: My worries are so plentiful that I can no longer discern, which of them are worst. I sense that in me dwells a cruel and bitter pain, and that I will die.
