Podcast appearances and mentions of anna magdalena

1723 begann die Ära Bach in Leipzig. Doch nach seiner Wahl zum Thomaskantor erlebt Bach eine "wunderliche, der Music wenig ergebene Obrigkeit". Claus Fischers Feature über ein Jahr, aus dem dennoch Musikgeschichte wurde.

WBCQ/The Planet airdate - 12/7/24 Welcome to Fluxedo Junction! Each episode we bring you the best music of all genres from throughout the world, and this week we'll be speaking with singer-songwriter and keyboardist Joe Mugnai. We've featured his music on this show in the past as part of the group Already Taken, but Joe also releases music under the moniker Dadio, and his latest release is the new single, Anna Magdalena.

Diese Hochzeitskantate ist so zauberhaft! Man denken könnte, Bach hätte sie für seine eigene Hochzeit mit Anna Magdalena geschrieben. Allein die ersten Takte der Eingangsarie sind laut Maul & Schrammek Weltkulturerbe.

Maya Beiser – InfInIte Bach: J.S. Bach's Six Cello Suites (Islandia Music Records) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Maya Beiser by “I'll never forget. I think I was 10. My father said, ‘Maya, you have to decide: It's Carnegie Hall or Wimbledon,'” cellist Maya Beiser says, “And I remember telling him, ‘I don't think it's going to be Wimbledon, so why don't we do Carnegie Hall?'”Beiser did not disappoint her father. She has performed at Carnegie Hall many times over the years. She admits her father wasn't all that keen on the crazy contemporary music for which she's best known. However, he would have loved her latest recording, which is why she dedicated it to him. It's called Infinite Bach,' and it features the composer's famous cello suites.“The earliest musical memory that I have is of Bach, specifically the Bach cello suites,” she says. “I grew up in the northern part of Israel, in the Galilee, at a time where there was constant threat of war. And we spent actually a lot of time in shelters during my early childhood. I grew up in a commune. It was called a kibbutz.“And my father would always just listen to music. He bought this old recording of Pablo Casals performing the cello suites, and that is the earliest memory of my childhood, is the pleasure of just listening to that music in my parents' little house. It was the sense of safety and the connection that music always had for love.“I never thought I was going to record the Bach suites, because I always felt that there were enough recordings out there. There were wonderful cellists who have already done that, and I felt that I had a different mission. I'm 60 now. So it was kind of a big, momentous moment. For years, I had to juggle being a mother and a partner and all these things, and then the pandemic. During that time, my partner and I found this house in the Berkshires. We just fell in love with that place because it was inspiring. It had this separate converted barn; it just had the most incredible acoustics.“The first day I was there, I just took my cello and I sat in the middle of this empty space and just started to play the Bach suites. I all of a sudden realized that this is what I want to do for the next year. I imagined the cello as this sort of giant organ that takes over, and I wanted to create all these different reverbs and delays, but without any artificial electronics.  I wanted everything to be acoustic.”You say in your liner notes that some believe the suites bear a whisper of Bach's wife. Why did you include this?“All my teachers were men; all my mentors were men. And they always told me, you need to listen to Pablo Casals and Rostropovich and Pierre Fournier. I can give you the list. They were all older men. There was no model of how a woman would think of this music.“There are people who claim that Anna Magdalena, Bach's wife, was actually the one who wrote the suites. And whether it's true or not, the idea intrigued me. So I just liked to think about it as if I'm presenting a feminine Bach.” Maya Beiser: InfInIte Bach (Official Music Video) Water, The Prelude in D minorTo hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.GiveawayMaya Beiser New Classical Tracks GiveawayYou must be 13 or older to submit any information to American Public Media/Minnesota Public Radio.

Anna Magdalena, die zweite Frau Johann Sebastian Bachs, ist durch ein "Notenbüchlein" weltberühmt geworden. Mahan Esfahani und Carolyn Sampson bitten in einer neuen Einspielung zum intimen Hauskonzert.

Bach wrote this suite, one of a set of six, in the early 1720s, possibly as a wedding present for his second wife, Anna Magdalena. The collection later became known as the “French Suites”, but the name is misleading, given that each work contains movements inspired by dances from various national traditions. No. 5, for example, includes a German Allemande, a French Courante, a Spanish Sarabande, and an Irish/Scottish Gigue.Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

Michela Graziani"Bach"Pedro Eirasil ramo e la foglia Edizionihttps://ilramoelafogliaedizioni.itTraduzione a cura di Michela GrazianiStrutturato non in capitoli convenzionali, ma in quattordici sezioni, il libro parla di tutto ciò che ruota attorno alla figura del compositore tedesco: la musica in primis, a cui si aggiungono il ricordo di Bach attraverso la lettera della seconda moglie, Anna Magdalena, del 1750, la lettera di Gustav Leonhardt all'amico Nikolaus del 1973, il montaggio cinematografico di Straub e Huillet nel 1968 (dove Leonhardt ha interpretato Bach), Lisboaleipzig di Maria Gabriela Llansol; il ricordo di Anna Magdalena Bach nella biografia romanzata di Esther Meynell; i dibattiti musicali intrapresi da un gruppo di tecnici del suono newyorkesi; il silenzio della musica durante i viaggi della deportazione, tra cui quello di Etty Hillesum; il tema universale della vita e della morte e l'effetto catartico della musica celebrati nelle varie sezioni.La scrittura fluida, ora di impronta moderna, ora contemporanea, abbinata a un meticoloso e filologico approccio testuale e ad affascinanti intrecci intertestuali, rappresentano la cifra stilistica di Pedro Eiras che permette al lettore di lasciarsi trasportare in spazi e tempi diversi, solo apparentemente lontani tra loro.«Non si può risuscitare il XVIII secolo, ma inventare il passato in base al nostro desiderio. Per questo inventiamo il nostro desiderio. Per questo Esther Meynell è fedele soprattutto quando ritrae la scena più inverosimile: Anna Magdalena che sorprende Johann Sebastian a comporre, fuggendo, piangendo, proprio come piangiamo noi oggi.»Pedro EirasProfessore di Letteratura Portoghese presso l'Università di Porto e ricercatore presso l'Istituto di Letteratura Comparata Margarida Losa, dal 2001 Pedro Eiras è autore di opere di finzione narrativa (Bach, Cartas Reencontradas de Fernando Pessoa, A Cura, O Mapa do Mundo), teatro (Um Forte Cheiro a Maçã, Uma Carta a Cassandra, Um Punhado de Terra, Bela Dona), poesia (Inferno, Purgatório, Paraíso), saggistica (Esquecer Fausto, Tentações, Os Ícones de Andrei, Constelações 1, 2 e 3) e altri testi di più difficile classificazione (Boomerang, Substâncias Perigosas, [...], Regras para a Direcção do Espírito), solo per citarne alcuni. La sua produzione teatrale è stata rappresentata e tradotta in vari paesi europei. Nel 2006 Esquecer Fausto ha ricevuto il premio PEN Clube Português rivolto alla saggistica; nel 2021 Inferno è stato premiato a Vila Real con il prestigioso premio “António Cabral”. Vari libri di Pedro Eiras sono stati pubblicati in Brasile, Francia, Inghilterra, Romania.

Fifteen years ago, cellist Matt Haimovitz famously brought the Bach Cello Suites to folk clubs and rock venues. Now, he brings us a completely new intepretation of these classics works, informed by the manuscript copy made by Bach's wife, Anna Magdalena.

Über 8000 Kilometer ist Anna Magdalena Bössen durch Deutschland geradelt - auf der Suche nach ihrer eigenen Identität. Gegen Kost und Logis trägt sie auf der Reise Gedichte vor. Wir wiederholen ein Gespräch mit der reisenden Rezitatorin aus dem Jahr 2016. Moderation: Anja Scheifinger

Zu Gast in der 23. Ausgabe ist die Berner Grossrätin Anna-Magdalena Linder von der Grünen Partei. Thema war die Motion «Konversionstherapien im Kanton Bern verbieten», die am 10. März im Grossen Rat debattiert werden soll. Sogenannte Konversionstherapien wollen Menschen mit einer homosexuellen Veranlagung zu heterosexuellen Menschen «umpolen». Die «Therapien» erfolgen in der Falschannahme, dass es sich bei Homosexualität um eine Krankheit handelt, die es zu «heilen» gilt. Allerdings hat die Weltgesundheitsbehörde WHO 1984 Homosexualität von der Liste der Krankheiten gestrichen. Schwule und Lesben sind nicht krank und können daher nicht wegen ihrer sexuellen Orientierung «behandelt» werden. Du brauchst Hilfe? https://habqueerbern.ch/beratung

On June 6, 2021, Bach Society Houston will present a concert called “Music in the Americas at the Time of Bach," which can be streamed online. The concert’s theme—“eighteenth-century music” outside the European geographical context and repertoire typically implied by the term—might raise questions for BSH audiences. Our episode today will explore some of those questions with Dr. Glenda Goodman, Associate Professor of Music at the University of Pennsylvania and author of the book Cultivated By Hand: Amateur Musicians in the Early American Republic (Oxford University Press). Dr. Goodman joins us to discuss how her book—and concerts like the one I just mentioned—can help us consider, and then expand, some of our assumptions, definitions, and labels around European-derived music during Bach's lifetime and in the generation or two following him. Resources mentioned in the show: Image from an 18th-century American music notebook at Dr. Goodman’s website “Notes on Bach” episodes with Dr. Andrew Talle about his book Beyond Bach and the Anna Magdalena notebooks Vast Early America episode of the history podcast “Ben Franklin’s World,” featuring Dr. Karin Wulf and other scholars Dr. Candace Bailey, Unbinding Gentility: Women Making Music in the Nineteenth-Century South (University of Illinois Press)

Earlier in November, Bach Society Houston performed works from the two Anna Magdalena Bach Notebooks; you can watch the concert here. These notebooks, which originated in 1722 and 1725, respectively, were owned by Anna Magdalena Bach, J.S. Bach’s second wife. These two manuscript collections contain keyboard and vocal works of varying levels of complexity, composed by multiple people and entered into the notebooks by different scribes, including Anna Magdalena herself. In our own time, some of the more elementary pieces in the books are still well-known as teaching pieces for piano students. The notebooks are one of the few surviving sources related to Anna Magdalena Bach, who has been the subject of research, conjecture, devotion and fiction across centuries and continents. With us to talk about Anna Magdalena's musical and domestic life, her Notebooks and other sources related to her, and how we know what we think we know about her is Dr. Andrew Talle. Dr. Talle is Associate Professor of Musicology at Northwestern University and a scholar of music and society in eighteenth-century Germany. He is author of the book Beyond Bach: Music and Everyday Life in the Eighteenth Century. Stay tuned at the end of the interview to hear more about his new research into popular music in the Leipzig of Bach's time.

El compositor barroco escondía bajo las sábanas mucha más información de la que podíamos sospechar. Sólo con su segunda esposa, Anna Magdalena, tuvo trece hijos....

As seis Suítes para Violoncelo de Bach sobreviveram graças a Anna Magdalena Bach (1701-1760), a segunda esposa do compositor alemão. Como afirma o jornalista canadense Eric Siblin no livro As Suítes para Violoncelo, “em algum momento entre 1727 e 1731 ela fez uma cópia do manuscrito original de Bach para um violinista, Georg Heinrich Ludwig Schwanenberger. Quase três séculos depois, aquilo que é conhecido como o manuscrito de Anna Magdalena ainda é o que se tem de mais próximo do original de Bach”. A edição das partituras das suítes encontrada em 1890 pelo violoncelista catalão Pablo Casals – que trouxe à luz as obras até então praticamente desaparecidas – se baseou nesse manuscrito. Esses trechos do livro de Siblin foram lidos no programa Manhã com Bach, da Rádio USP (93,7 MHz), transmitido nos dias 3 e 4 de outubro de 2020. O programa foi o quinto episódio de uma série que comemora os 300 anos das Suítes para Violoncelo de Bach, obras-primas da música universal criadas em cerca de 1720 na corte de Köthen, no leste da Alemanha, onde o compositor trabalhava na época como regente da orquestra do príncipe Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen. O programa apresentou a Suíte para Violoncelo Número 5 em Dó Menor (BWV 1011), além da cantata Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, “Louve o Senhor, minha alma” (BWV 143). Ouça no link acima a íntegra do programa. Manhã com Bach vai ao ar pela Rádio USP (93,7 MHz) sempre aos sábados, às 9 horas, com reapresentação no domingo, também às 9 horas, inclusive via internet, através do site da emissora. Às segundas-feiras ele é publicado em formato de podcast na área de podcasts do Jornal da USP. As edições anteriores de Manhã com Bach estão disponíveis neste link.

Gewoonweg lief, vind ik het. Johann Sebastian informeert in juni 1740 of hij een ‘kneu’ kan ontvangen, een zangvogeltje, want zijn vrouw Anna Magdalena is ‘een zeer groot liefhebster van zulke vogels’. Dat betekent dat er in de woonkamer van de Bach’s een kooitje was met een zingende kneu… Euh, hoe klinkt een kneu eigenlijk? Francois (Le Grand) Couperin, Rondeau ‘Les Bergeries’, BWV. Anh.183 (uit: Klavierbuchlein Anna Magdalena Bach, 1725), Cristine Plubeau (gamba), Oliver Baumont (clavecimbel)

In 1968 verschijnt een speelfilm waarin Gustav Leonhardt, als acteur met poederpruik, Johann Sebastian Bach speelt. Maar de hoofdrol is weggelegd voor Christiane Lang. Zij speelt de tweede vrouw van Bach: Anna Magdalena. De film is gebaseerd op een ‘historische’ roman uit 1925, waarin het leven -tussen ‘Wahrheit und Dichtung’- van Bach wordt geschetst. Het leven van alledag, gezien vanuit het perspectief van Anna Magdalena. De feiten: In Cöthen was Bach kapelmeester en hij werd er weduwnaar. Toen Bach de uitstekende zangeres Anna Magdalena Wilcke contracteerde, kon hij niet vermoeden dat hij enkele maanden later met haar zou trouwen. Zij schonk hem 13 kinderen, van wie slechts zes hun jonge kinderjaren hebben overleefd. Haar naam is ook verbonden aan twee bundels muziek, waarvan de tweede ‘Notenbüchlein vor Anna Magdalena Bach’, muziek bevat van gasten, van Bach en misschien ook wel van haarzelf. Het leven van Bach gezien door de ogen van zijn vrouw. Met de actrice Saskia Bonarius. Eerder uitgezonden op NPO Radio 4 in 'De Bedding'; 17-08-2013

In Ep. 28, we take a closer look at the life of Anna Magdalena Wilcke, beloved second wife of Sebastian Bach. Anna came from a long line of musicians, and was an accomplished musician herself. At the age of 20, or possibly sooner, she attained a coveted position as soprano in the Cöthen Capelle then under Sebastian's direction, who often featured her as a soloist. After their marriage in 1721 and subsequent move to Leipzig, she was a key player in the Bach family business, teaching students, copying music, making sure everyone was practicing, and generally keeping things in good working order. She was also the step-mother of Bach's two famous sons by Maria Barbara, Friedemann and Emanuel, seeing them through difficult adolescent years, and mother to one of the most brilliant and influential composers of the 18th century, Johann Christian Bach, who was worshipped by no less a figure than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

It’s entirely possible that cellist Matt Haimovitz has forgotten that composers other than Bach exist. On his last visit to Classical Classroom, he talked about Anna Magdalena’s (Bach’s second wife’s) transcriptions of Bach’s Cello Suites. On the visit before that, Matt and Christopher O’Riley talked… oh wait – that was about Beethoven. But still! The guy’s obsessed! And we’re glad he is. In this episode, Haimovitz talks about his CD Overtures to Bach, on which he commissioned 6 contemporary composers to essentially build an aural bridge from our time to Bach’s. Learn about Bach and hear amazing new music in this episode.  All music in this episode from Matt Haimovitz’s Overtures to Bach.  Audio production by Todd “Mr. Robot” Hulslander with poorly executed fake hacking sequences by Dacia Clay and assistance from Mark DiClaudio.

Fiona Talkington introduces a performance of Bach's 'Wedding Cantata,' Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten and finds out whether Anna Magdalena might have sung this very cantata at her wedding to JS Bach in 1721. The cantata's central aria: 'To practise sweet courtship, to cuddle joyously,' features a solo oboe. Today's programme also includes an oboe concerto and a suite for seven instruments written a few years after Bach's cantata.

Bach's Cello Suite No I in G major is one of the most frequently performed and recognisable solo compositions ever written for cello. Yet it was virtually unknown for almost two hundred years until the Catalan cellist, Pablo Casals discovered an edition in a thrift shop in Barcelona. Casals became the first to record it and the suites are now cherished by musicians across the globe. The world renowned cellist, Steven Isserlis describes his relationship with the piece and why it still surprises and excites him. Fellow cellists Richard Jenkinson and Jane Salmon talk about the challenge of playing it and we hear from the Dominic Martens, a member of the National Youth Orchestra and his teacher, Nick Jones as they explore the piece together. Garden designer Julie Moir Messervy, describes how Yo-Yo Ma's recording inspired her to design The Toronto Music Garden and doctor Heidi Kimberly explains why she chose the piece for her wedding and why she believes the suite to have healing powers. While historian and author, Eric Siblin, reveals the extraordinary history of the suites and why some still argue that they was written by Bach's second wife Anna Magdalena. Producer Lucy Lunt.

This is from the “Notebook for Anna Magdalena." Apparently there is some controversy over the actual authorship of this minuet. Christian Petzold is believed to have composed two of the pieces from the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach: the familiar "Minuet in G major" (BWV Anh.II 114) and its partner piece, "Minuet in G minor" (BWV Anh.II 115). These were traditionally believed to have been composed by J.S. Bach but scholarship, particularly on the part of Hans-Joachim Schulze, has recently pointed to Petzold. The Minuet in G Major is catalogued as a BWV Anh. piece because to this day, nobody knows if Christian Petzold or J.S. Bach was the one who composed it. Petzold acted as an agent of J.S. Bach keyboard Partitas. Soprano 4 string banjo & Baritone 4-string banjo.
