Podcasts about Andris Nelsons

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?

Atvest uz Rīgu Bostonas simfonisko orķestri ir piepildījies sapnis, šodien Rīgā sacīja diriģents, Bostonas simfoniskā orķestra mākslinieciskais vadītājs Andris Nelsons. Bostonas simfoniskais orķestris Rīgā koncertēs pirmo reizi, un koncerti gaidāmi nākamā gada 11. un 12. maijā Latvijas Nacionālajā operā. Tie iekļausies Bostonas simfoniskā orķestra Eiropas turnejā, kas veltīta Dmitrija Šostakoviča mūzikai, pieminot komponista nāves 50.gadadienu. Koncertus organizē Andreja Žagara Kultūras attīstības fonds. 11. maija koncertā tiks atskaņota Šostakoviča Sestā un Astotā simfonija, bet 12. maijā līdzās Šostakoviča Piecpadsmitajai simfonijai izskanēs arī Pirmais vijolkoncerts, kurā kā soliste uzstāsies latviešu vijolniece Baiba Skride. Andris Nelsons atzīst, ka gan viņš, gan orķestris esot sajūsmā par iespēju uzstāties viņa dzimtajā pilsētā. Diriģents pieminēja, ka iepriekš viņam bija iespēja uzstāties Latvijā kopā ar Baireitas festivāla orķestri un 2018. gadā – ar Leipcigas "Gewandhaus" orķestri. "Esmu īpaši lepns iepazīstināt Latvijas klausītājus ar Bostonas simfoniskā orķestra izcilo sniegumu. Rīga man ir īpaši nozīmīga pilsēta, jo šeit mācās mana meitiņa, šeit dzīvo mani vecāki, un tieši šeit es uzsāku savu ceļu pie mūzikas," sacīja Nelsons. Latvijas Nacionālās operas un baleta valdes loceklis Sandis Voldiņš norāda, ka maestro tas ir prieks, bet operai tas esot gods: "Katru reizi, kad uzņemam mājās "savējos", tas ir īpaši," viņš saka. "Biļetes sāksim tirgot operas platformā decembra sākumā, par ko informēsim atsevišķi. Bet pēc pieredzes jau zinu, ka tas prasīs apmēram septiņas minūtes, lai biļetes būtu izpirktas." Jau tagad tiekot domāts par to, lai gaidāmie koncerti būtu pieejami ne tikai izmeklētai publikai, bet arī plašākam skatītāju lokam, par ko stāsta Andreja Žagara Kultūras attīstības fonda mākslinieciskais vadītājs Arturs Maskats. "Man ir sajūta, ka šo visu no mākoņa maliņas vēro arī Andrejs Žagars, kurš šos procesus izjūt un noteikti pat koordinē. Runājot par studentiem, noteikti ir jābūt šai atgriezeniskajai saitei. Ja pilsētā un valstī ierodas tik slaveni mūziķi, tad ir svarīga jaunās paaudzes iesaiste, pie kā mēs noteikti strādāsim. Šādas iniciatīvas un domas ir arī no Bostonas orķestra un tā vadības puses. Ir jāstrādā ar Mūzikas akadēmiju, patiesībā šis sadarbības modelis jau ir samērā labi izveidojies. Konkrētas meistarklases, kad meistari ierodas Mūzikas akadēmijā, kā tas nupat bija ar Jormu Panulu, kur studenti var būt klāt mēģinājumā un redzēt, kā programma kopā veidojas. Tas ir pilnīgi citādi, nekā vienkārši atnākt uz koncertu kā publikai. Atceros jaukos laikus, kad Andris pats devās pie Marisa Jansona Eiropā skatīties viņa mēģinājumus. Tas bija un visiem ir ļoti, ļoti vērtīgi." Bostonas simfoniskā orķestra Eiropas turneja sāksies Vīnē, bet noslēgsies Leipcigā ar astoņu dienu rezidenci Leipcigas Šostakoviča festivālā. Tajā klausītāji varēs izbaudīt Šostakoviča mūziku, kuru iecienījuši gan Bostonas simfoniskā orķestra mūziķi, gan arī pats diriģents Nelsons.    

Šīs nedēļas otrajā pusē tiks atklāta jau 99. Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra (LNSO) sezona. Atklāšanas koncertos 20. septembrī Viļņā un 21. septembrī Latgales vēstniecībā GORS skanēs LNSO jaunās sezonas rezidējošā komponista Artura Maskata “Tango” un divu angļu komponistu opusi – Gustava Holsta svīta “Planētas” un Ralfa Vona-Viljamsa “Sinfonia antartica” jeb “Antarktikas simfonija”. Pie diriģenta pults stāsies Tarmo Peltokoski, kas ar šo koncertu aizsāks savu noslēdzošo sezonu LNSO mākslinieciskā vadītāja un galvenā diriģenta amatā. Ar viņu tiekamies uz sarunu Klasikā. Ieva Zeidmane: Tikko ir beidzies mēģinājums un tā noslēgumā orķestris spēlēja Artura Maskata "Tango". Arī pats komponists bija klāt. Vai viņam bija kādi padomi, ieteikumi? Tarmo Peltokoski: Komponistam bija tikai dažas sīkas piezīmes, viņš atstāj lielu brīvību, un tas vienmēr ir patīkami. Vai šis skaņdarbs Jums šķiet iedvesmojošs? Cik noprotu, šis tango Latvijā ir modernā klasika. Piemēram, Andris Nelsons ir to atskaņojis ar pasaules klases orķestriem, ir ieraksts ar Vīnes Filharmoniķiem, viņš to atskaņojis arī Bostonā. Šis tiešām ir skaņdarbs, ar kuru Latvija ir pazīstama pasaulē. Parunāsim par Ralfu Vonu-Viljamsu. Pirms aptuveni diviem gadiem ar LNSO atskaņojāt viņa piekto simfoniju, drīz arī "Jūras simfoniju" un tagad programmā septītā. Kas jūs saista šī komponista mūzikā? Vona-Viljamsa mūziku apbrīnoju kopš 18 gadu vecuma. Šis darbs vienmēr ir bijusi mana kaislība, esmu vēlējies atskaņot šo Sinfonia Antartica. Tas ir programmatiskās mūzikas meistardarbs, kas sākotnēji tapis kā mūzika filmai "Antarktikas Skots". Vēlāk šo mūziku komponists pārstrādāja, izveidojot simfoniju. Tā šeit nekad nav atskaņota un es nesaprotu, kāpēc, jo tas ir īstens meistardarbs. Mūzika ir fantastiska un nelīdzinās nevienam citam darbam. Vai esat redzējis arī filmu? Jā, tā ir ļoti interesanta filma par Roberta Falkona Skota neveiksmīgo ekspedīciju uz Dienvidpolu 1912. gadā. Diemžēl viņš gāja bojā, un par to arī ir šī filma. Mūzika atspoguļo šausmas. Vai, skatoties filmu, arī saklausījāt, kuri mūzikas fragmenti pārnesti uz šo simfoniju? Jā, protams, šīs saiknes var dzirdēt. Tomēr simfonija ir patstāvīgs darbs, lai to izbaudītu, nav obligāti jānoskatās filma. Mūzika ir ļoti atmosfēriska, var sajust aukstumu pat neskatoties filmu. Mūzika ir ārkārtīgi ilustratīva, vai ne? Tā ir. Komponists izmanto apjomīgu sitaminstrumentu plejādi, tostarp arī vēja mašīnu. Šī mūzika ir priekštecis lielai daļai kinomūzikas, piemēram, Džona Viljamsa radītajam. Brīžiem izklausās pēc "Harija Potera". Vēju, vientulību un Antarktikas tuksneša plašumus attēlo sieviešu kora balsis no aizskatuves. Skan tiešām baisi un biedējoši. Vēl ir arī solo soprāna balss? Jā, arī soprāna solo balss aizskatuvē dzied bez vārdiem. Un vēl ir ērģeles, tās trešajā daļā rada patiešām šausminošas izjūtas. Mūzika ļauj redzēt ainavas, arī neskatoties filmu... Es tā domāju. Lielākā daļa cilvēku šo mūziku nekad agrāk nav dzirdējuši, bet vēl mazāks skaits ir to, kuri ir redzējuši filmu. Tāpēc ir ļoti interesanti, ko šāda programmatiska mūzika var panākt, kā tā rosina iztēli. Lielāko daļu šīs filmas mūzikas Vons-Viljamss radījis, neskatoties uzfilmēto. Viņu ļoti iedvesmojusi iespēja mūzikā attēlot sniegu, puteni, aukstumu. Tieši tā! Otrajā daļā arī pingvīnus un vaļus, trešajā daļā – milzīgo ledāju, jūtam dabas varenību un šausmas. Savukārt ceturtajā daļā ir vairāk personīgu lietu. Un fināls izvēršas par traģisku maršu. Pirms katras daļas partitūrā ir arī dažas teksta rindas, citāti no dažādiem avotiem. Tur ir angļu dzeja, psalma rindas, fragmentiņš no Vecās Derības. Un pirms pēdējās daļas ir citāts no Roberta Skota paša rakstītās dienasgrāmatas, no ieraksta, kas veikts neilgi pirms nāves. Un šoreiz koncertā arī skanēs ierakstīta balss, pirms katras daļas šīs rindas tiks nolasītas. Domāju, ka tas ir svarīgi. Ne vienmēr šīs rindas tiek iekļautas atskaņojumos. Jā, komponists nav norādījis, ka tās noteikti ir jāiekļauj. Bet, manuprāt, ir interesanti klausīties arī tekstu. Sieviešu kora balsis un ērģeles ieskanas arī Gustava Holsta svītā "Planētas", kas arī ietverta šajā programmā. Vai ir kāda saikne ar Vona-Viljamsa simfoniju? Manuprāt, šī ir lieliska, ārkārtīgi interesanta programma, jo abu šo lielo darbu noslēgumā aiz skatuves dzied sieviešu koris, jo abi komponisti – Vons-Viljamss un Holsts bija angļi, turklāt labākie draugi. Pirms diviem gadiem manos pirmajos koncertos LNSO galvenā diriģenta statusā piekto un pirmo simfoniju atskaņojām, atzīmējot Vona-Viljamsa 150. dzimšanas dienas gadskārtu. Savukārt šo sestdien, kad sniegsim koncertu Rēzeknē, apritēs 150 gadi kopš dzimis Gustavs Holsts. Un mēs atskaņosim vienu no iecienītākajiem viņa darbiem svītu "Planētas". Tātad viss labi sader. Turklāt Holsta vecvectēvs bija dzimis Rīgā. Daudzi šo faktu nemaz nezina. Holsts ir teicis, ka "Planētas" ir noskaņu gleznu virkne. Katrā daļā viena noskaņa? Jā, daļām ir arī nosaukumi. Marss ir kara vēstnesis, Venēra – miera vēstnese, Merkurs  -  spārnotais ziņnesis un tā tālāk... Un svītai turpinoties, viss kļūst aizvien mistiskāks. Ļoti raksturīgi, bet ne īpaši izteiksmīgi, jo šī ir tāda kosmiskā mūzika. No tās arī Džons Viljamss iedvesmojies, rakstot mūziku filmai "Zvaigžņu kari". Īpaši no pirmās daļas "Marss" un vēl no citām lappusēm. Vai Jūs interesē astroloģija? Nē. Bet Holstu interesēja. Iedvesma rakstīt svītu "Planētas" nākusi no kādas sarunas par astroloģiju. Vēlāk viņš teicis: "Es mācos tikai to, kas mani iedvesmo mūzikai. Un astroloģiju esmu mācījis visai pamatīgi." Jūtat Holsta mūzikā šo viņa interesi? Mani interesē citas lietas. Pirmkārt, šī mūzika ir ļoti angliska. Un man patīk britu mūzika un britu kultūra. Svarīgs ir arī fakts, ka abi komponisti bija draugi. Jā, protams, planētas, astronomija – tas ir interesanti. Bet mitoloģija ir vēl interesantāka! Šīs planētas sasaucas ar mitoloģiskām dievībām, dažādu kultūru dieviem un dievietēm. Un man ir pašam sava teorija. Diez vai kāds jebkad par to ir aizdomājies: Vons-Viljamss un Holsts bija divi briti, labākie draugi mūzikā. Savukārt 20.gadsimta angļu literatūrā ir līdzīgs labāko draugu pāris: Džons Ronalds Rūels Tolkīns un Klaivs Steiplzs Lūiss. Protams, pazīstamākais Lūisa darbs ir "Nārnijas hronikas" – septiņas grāmatas tāpat kā septiņas planētas. Un nesen Oksfordas zinātnieks Maikls Vords publicēja grāmatu ar nosaukumu "Planēta Nārnija", izsakot versiju, ka katra no septiņām Nārnijas grāmatām atbilst vienam no septiņiem debesu līmeņiem senajā mitoloģijā. Man šī doma liekas ļoti interesanta. Un patiesībā, diriģējot Holsta "Planētas", es domāju par Nārnijas grāmatām. Diez vai kāds tā ir darījis, bet man tas šķiet aizraujoši. Protams, tādas tiešas saiknes ar Nārniju jau šeit nav, tā eksistē manā galvā. Nezinu, cik populāras šīs fantastiskās bērnu grāmatas ir Latvijā. Bet, piemēram, es, klausoties "Planētu" pirmo daļu "Marss", domāju par Nārniju grāmatu "Princis Kaspians". Venēra būtu grāmata "Burvja māsasdēls", Merkurs – grāmata "Zirgs un viņa zēns", "Jupiters" – grāmata "Lauva, Ragana un drēbju skapis", šajā daļā parādās Ziemassvētku vecītis jeb Santaklauss. Tiek teikts, ka viņš ir dzīvespriecīgs. Savukārt Holsta "Planētās" Jupiters ir prieka vēstnesis. Tas ir ļoti aizraujoši, turklāt tur tiešām ir daudz tādas "Santaklausa mūzikas". Un "Jupitera" vidusdaļas lappuses droši vien ir vispazīstamākās no visa tā, ko Holsts rakstījis. Jo tai vēlāk pievienots Sera Sesila Springa Raisa teksts un tā kļuvusi par patriotisku himnu I Vow to Thee, My Country, ko briti dzied visos svinīgajos pasākumos: kronēšanas ceremonijās, bērēs, atceres dienās. Tā ir visangliskākā mūzika, kādu vien var iedomāties, man tā ļoti patīk.           

We are broadcasting from Studio E at the Linde Center for Music and Learning on the sprawling Tanglewood Campus, which opened in 2019. We begin by meeting our hosts this morning. Chad Smith is the Julian and Eunice Cohen President and CEO of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), which he has led since last year; he previously served as President and CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and we welcome back our dear friend Andris Nelsons - the fifteenth music director in the BSO's history.

Tony Fogg is a dear friend to this program and has been with us since we first broadcast here some 2-decades. Tony was born in Australia and was trained as a pianist at the Brazilian Academy of Music and at the University of Sydney. In 1994 at the invitation of Seiji Ozawa, he came to the USA to take up the position of Artistic Administrator of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Now, as Vice-President of Artistic Planning, he assists BSO Music Director, Andris Nelsons, with the scheduling of all performances by the BSO, as well as overseeing the Pops and Tanglewood Music Festival.

Die 28-jährige Dirigentin und Pianistin Anna Handler assistiert 2024/25 Andris Nelsons beim Boston Symphony Orchestra. Schon als Schülerin wurde ihr musikalisches Führungstalent entdeckt und gefördert. Prominente Mentoren und renommierte Spitzenorchester begleiten ihren bisherigen Weg. Weitere Debüts stehen an. Wie hat sie das bis hierher geschafft? Und wie soll es weitergehen?

Harte Arbeit und eiserner Wille: Die Münchner Dirigentin Anna Handler ist neue Assistentin von Andris Nelsons beim Boston Symphony Orchestra. Das sei ein Geschenk, so die 27-Jährige im Interview mit BR-KLASSIK. Auf sie kommt nun eine erweiterte Lehrzeit zu.

Mit ihren 28 Jahren hat die deutsch-kolumbianische Dirigentin Anna Handler eine Bilderbuchkarriere hingelegt: Sie dirigierte in Salzburg, beim BBC Philharmonic Orchestra und dem Münchner Rundfunkorchester. Nach einem Vollstipendium an der New Yorker Juilliard School wird sie ab September 2024 Stellvertreterin von Andris Nelsons beim Boston Symphony Orchestra. Doch auch in ihrem Werdegang laufe nicht immer alles glatt, verrät Handler im Gespräch mit SWR2.

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.

Today's episode is the second half of my conversation with a long-time friend, Kevin Fitzgerald, current Associate Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony.Last week we spoke about preparing for job applications and auditions, and today we will continue the conversation and hear all the behind the scene stories of navigating the business.As 2021 Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellow and four-time recipient of Career Assistance Grants from The Solti Foundation U.S., Kevin Fitzgerald is at the forefront of the next generation of conductors. Recently, Kevin was invited as one of the twenty conductors to participate live in the 2023 Mahler Competition with the Bamberg Symphony.In addition to his post as Associate Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony, Fitzgerald has recently guest conducted the Rochester Philharmonic, North Carolina Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of Pittsburgh. In his commitment to uplifting communities through music, Fitzgerald conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in 2017 with musicians from the Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids Symphonies to raise over $10,000 for the International Rescue Committee and Freedom House Detroit. In 2016, he also co-organized and conducted an impromptu performance called “Requiem for Orlando,” which featured over 400 volunteer musicians in a dedicated performance for victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.Since then, he has participated in masterclasses with Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony, Andris Nelsons and Alan Gilbert at Tanglewood among many others. Kevin is based in Raleigh, NC, with his husband, violist Kurt Tseng, and their two dogs Bennie and Chipper.

Bei den Osterfestspielen in Salzburg wagt sich Jonas Kaufmann erstmals an eine der schwierigsten Wagner-Rollen: Tannhäuser ist eine mörderische Partie. Im Graben zelebriert Andris Nelsons mit dem Gewandhausorchester Langsamkeitsorgien. Und ein Sänger überstrahlt alle.

As a member of the Berlin Philharmonic, Gábor Tarkövi has performed under many great conductors, and so I ask him to talk about how he thinks the Berlin Philharmonic has changed from the time of Herbert von Karajan to the present. Then, using Andris Nelsons as an example, Gábor talks about what he thinks makes a conductor great. Having played first with the Bayerische Rundfunk (Munich Radio) Orchestra and then the Berlin Philharmonic I ask Gábor about the changes he had to make in his playing when he first got to Berlin. And finally, Gábor speaks about his final concert.

The Portsmouth Sinfonia billed themselves as “indisputably, the worst orchestra in the world.” They have brought joy into the lives of millions. In the fifth episode of Ghost Echoes, we learn about the importance and healing effects of failure. Music and Sound Notes: -- The recording of Vivaldi's Concerto for two trumpets heard here is NOT Matthew Parsons and his colleague Glenn Skelton. It is in fact Michel Rondeau (presumably double tracked) and organist Alaine Letendre, sourced from Musopen. -- Here's Chi-Chi Nwanoku's BBC performance of Failing by Tom Johnson. -- The snippets heard shortly after are from “It Never Entered My Mind” performed by the Miles Davis Quartet, the third movement of Bach's Italian Concerto performed by Glenn Gould, the first movement of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto performed by Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Teodor Currentzis conducting MusicaEterna, and Hans Abrahamsen's let me tell you as sung by Barbara Hannigan with Andris Nelsons conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. -- All the tracks by the Portsmouth Sinfonia are from their debut album, The Portsmouth Sinfonia Plays the Popular Classics. The works excerpted from here are Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, the first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony, and “The Blue Danube” by Johann Strauss II. Further reading, listening: -- Information on the Portsmouth Sinfonia came from Cornelius Cardew: A Life Unfinished by John Tilbury and this piece by Eric Grundhauser. -- Thanks to Berlin Atmospherics for the applause SFX.
