This week's Gramophone podcast is a special focus on one of the most significant of 20th century composers, Dimitri Shostakovich, the 50th anniversary of whose death we mark this year. As our guide to his music we're privileged to have conductor Andris Nelsons, who, together with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has just reached the end of a journey through all his symphonies, plus the concertos for cello, piano and violin, all recently released by Deutsch Grammophon. Across half an hour of fascinating insight, he tells Editor Martin Cullingford about how he responds to Shostakovich's music and life, and about what makes the composer's music so distinct, and so remarkable.

11. maijā pirmo reizi vēsturē Rīgā muzicēja viens no vecākajiem un slavenākajiem ASV simfoniskajiem orķestriem – Bostonas Simfoniskais orķestris, kuru jau 11. sezonu diriģē latvietis Andris Nelsons. Orķestris ir devies Eiropas tūrē ar komponistam Dmitrijam Šostakovičam veltītu programmu – šogad aprit 50 gadi kopš viņa nāves. Par to, kāpēc Rīgas iekļaušana šajā tūrē ir īpašs notikums un kā vakar izvērtās pirmais no abiem koncertiem Latvijas Nacionālajā operā saruna ar muzikoloģi un LR3 „Klasika” direktori Gundu Vaivodi.   Vakar īsi pēc ierašanās Rīgā Andris Nelsons, Baiba Skride un Bostonas Simfoniskā orķestra vadība tikās arī ar Latvijas medijiem, un viņu teikto līdzās viedokļiem no pirmā koncerta varēsiet dzirdēt LR „Klasika” raidījumā „Pārmijas”.

Andris Nelsons un Baiba Skride sadarbojas jau vairāk nekā 20 gadus, un viņiem ir neizskaidrojama muzikālā saprašanās, kas ļauj abiem uz skatuves justies brīvi un veiksmīgi. Diriģenta Andra Nelsona vadītais Bostonas simfoniskais orķestris, kurā šajā koncerttūrē pievienojusies arī vijolniece Baiba Skride, komponista Dmitrija Šostakoviča daiļradei veltītās 2025. gada Eiropas koncerttūres laikā sniegs koncertus Vīnē, Prāgā, Leipcigā un pirmo reizi – divos vakaros (11. un 12. maijā) ar divām atšķirīgām programmām – arī Rīgā.

Seit 2014 ist Andris Nelsons beim Boston Symphony Orchestra Chefdirigent. Gleich in seiner ersten Saison hat Nelsons mit einem Schostakowitsch-Zyklus begonnen, der jetzt zum 50. Todestag des Komponisten bei der Deutschen Grammophon komplett vorliegt. Für die beiden Cellokonzerte von Schostakowitsch konnte Nelsons den bald 70-jährigen Starcellisten Yo-Yo Ma gewinnen.

Bob Malone has quite literally helped shape the sound of modern trumpet playing around the world. He's been designing trumpets for nearly 40 years and is widely recognized as one of the premier trumpet designers in the world. His instruments are played in major orchestras across the globe, and his influence can be heard through the artistry of many of the finest trumpet players of our time.I've had the privilege of knowing Bob for almost 50 years, and watching his evolution—from passionate trumpet player to visionary instrument designer—has been nothing short of inspiring. So it was a real pleasure to sit down with him and explore the journey that has defined his life's work.In Part 1, we kick off our conversation by diving into how Bob has applied the Japanese concept of Kaizen—the philosophy of continuous improvement—to his work over the years. From there, we go back to his early days as a trumpet player and explore how his passion for the instrument led him to the world of design and craftsmanship. He shares how key figures like Larry Minick and Tom Stevens mentored him and helped shape his path, leading to the founding of Bob Malone's Brass Technology, and eventually, his pivotal role at Yamaha Corporation.Bob also recounts his first major design collaboration with trumpeter Bobby Shew—a project made possible through the support of his close friend, Kenzo Kawasaki.In Part 2 [Subscriber Content], we get into some of Bob's experiences working with a remarkable roster of trumpet luminaries, including Håkan Hardenberger, John Hagstrom, Allen Vizzutti, David Bilger, Chris Martin, Tom Rolfs, Wayne Bergeron, Bo Nilsson, and conductor Andris Nelsons. His stories are a fascinating glimpse into the minds of these incredible musicians and the collaborative process behind great instrument design.And since Bob has spent so much of his career on the road, we also talk about his favorite travel destinations, memorable meals, and how he manages the inevitable jet lag that comes with a global career.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

2024 jährt sich der Geburtstag von Anton Bruckner zum 200. Mal - ein Grund zum Feiern! Auch für die CD-Labels. Kürzlich haben Christian Thielemann und Andris Nelsons ihre Bruckner-Zyklen vollendet. François-Xavier Roth ist mit dem Kölner Gürzenich-Orchester, wo der Franzose Chefdirigent ist, mittendrin - seine Gesamteinspielung der Erstfassungen könnte einen spannenden Kontrapunkt setzen. Die ak-tuelle Aufnahme von Bruckners Dritter Symphonie ist jedenfalls ein starkes Statement.
