I was fascinated to speak with Ada Witczyk, who does a niche thing - contemporary music on a baroque instrument - and who has enrolled an entire community in her vision!  Ada Witczyk is the fearless champion of contemporary music for baroque violin. Described as 'the new wave wizard' (South West Londoner), Ada Witczyk has inspired over 200 new works for baroque violin and counting. Singled out by BBC Music Magazine as their 'Instrumental Choice' and receiving a 10-star review, the 2023-24 season also marked the release of her album of contemporary music 'New Baroque' on First Hand Records (available on all platforms).  The 2024-25 season sees Ada perform and visit the Technical University of the Shannon in Limerick, Ireland as a guest lecturer during their online music video production series "The Millennium Sessions". She releases her second album "New Baroque-Sonatas" on First Hand Records and performs a programme filled with exciting contemporary pieces on baroque instruments at the Limerick Early Music Festival. Ada's new album is available this month! Follow her at her website, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify!    Thanks for joining me on Crushing Classical!  Theme music and audio editing by DreamVance.

Today's episode features a conversation with Josu de Solaun as he describes the new heights and depths of artistic expression he experienced in studying the Taubman work with Edna Golandsky. Josu was not injured when he came to the Taubman approach. He wanted to understand what he did well at the piano and to discover his limitations in order to play with more freedom, power, speed and artistic expression. https://www.josudesolaun.com/In the 2023 edition, the ICMA jury expressed: "Josu de Solaun is one of the most impressive discoveries of the past decade. Not only is he a technically impressive pianist, but his interpretative imagination also knows no limits. His interpretations ideally reflect De Solaun's ability to engage with works symbiotically and at the highest energy levels. Free of aesthetic dogmas, the pianist creates cosmoses of a solitary nature."He is also the sole Spanish pianist to win first prizes at the José Iturbi (2006) and George Enescu (2014) international piano competitions since their inception in 1980 and 1958, respectively. Esteemed pianists like Elisabeth Leonskaja (1964) and Radu Lupu (1967) have previously won the Enescu Competition.In 2019, President of Romania Klaus Iohannis appointed him Officer of the Order of the Cultural Merit of the Republic of Romania, acknowledging his artistic work and promotion of George Enescu's music—whose complete works for piano he recorded under the NAXOS label—and Romanian musical culture globally.Josu, trained by Salvador Chuliá and pianists María Teresa Naranjo and Ana Guijarro in Spain, later studied in New York under pianists Nina Svetlanova and Horacio Gutiérrez, enabling him to exhibit his musical artistry in various forms. Further studies in New York included composition with Giampaolo Bracali and conducting with Robert Isaacs and David Gilbert, along with chamber music with Robert Mann (Juilliard Quartet) and Isidore Cohen (Beaux Arts Trio).Jessica Duchen of BBC Music Magazine praised: "De Solaun allows the expression to lead at all times, no matter how intense the virtuosity. There is always an elastic vitality in his interpretations, a warm and intimate approach to his phrasing, and a beautiful, sweet tone."Justo Romero in Scherzo declared: "It is difficult to imagine a more powerful and creative pianism. De Solaun is one of the most interesting virtuosos of the contemporary keyboard. Spanish and non-Spanish. A vigorous, wise pianism, of refined workmanship and great musicality. We are before a true colossus of the piano, a true virtuoso, in the old style, who makes use of his resplendent technique and the extroverted dramatic, his strong artistic nature to conjugate versions that combine brilliance and effusiveness, fire and delicacy, always with an intense pianistic foundation, all with naturalness, strength, power, sonorous opulence, and intense expressive sense."The Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman. This knowledge can help them overcome technical and musical challenges, cure and prevent playing-related injuries, and lead them to achieve their highest level of artistic excellence.Please visit our website at: www.golandskyinstitute.org.

Matilda Lloyd has already had an exceptional career at a very young age. Her first album, Casta Diva, released on Chandos Records, was BBC Music Magazine's Recording of the Month in June of 2023. She will also be a European Concert Hall Organization "Rising Star" for the 2024/2025 season. But in addition to being an international trumpet soloist, she also has her own podcast, Musical Roots, and is an Ambassador for the charity "Brass in Africa."The conversation begins with Matilda tracing her path to where she is now, from when she began playing trumpet, on through her studies with Mark David and Hakan Hardenberger. She talks about the specific teaching styles of these two great players and teachers, and then moves on to the beginning of her solo career. Although it may seem as though she had a smooth path to a successful career, that hasn't always been the case, including a time during the pandemic when she worked a job outside of music in order to put food on the table. Her take on that time shows resilience, strength, and motivation. Part 1 wraps up with Matilda talking about moving forward with her career after the pandemic, and how her practicing has changed over time.Dorico Professional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Since his incredible breakthrough in 2011, when his debut album held the no. 1 position in the UK Classical charts for a breathtaking 28 weeks, MILOŠ has built an impressive international career by performing solo recitals and concertos at most of the world's leading concert venues. His six studio albums have sold the equivalent of over half a million copies and conquered the classical album charts in multiple territories, earning him a Classical BRIT, Echo Klassik and two Gramophone Awards. Not to mention worldwide critical acclaim, BBC Music Magazine included him in “Six of the Best Classical Guitarists of the Past Century” and The New York Times cited him as “one of the most exciting and communicative classical guitarists today.” TRACKLISTDomenico Scarlatti 1685-17571 Sonata in D minor K 32 2:52Antonio Vivaldi 1678–1741Concerto for Flute, Strings and Basso continuo No. 2 in G minor “La notte” RV 4392 VI Allegro 2:16 Arrangement: Michael LewinJean-Philippe Rameau 1683–17643 The Arts and the Hours 5:15Arrangement: Michael LewinGeorge Frideric Handel 1685–1759Suite de Pièces pour le Clavecin No. 1 HWV 434 4 :074 IV MenuetArrangement: Michael LewinAntonio Vivaldi 1678–1741Concerto for 4 Violins, Cello, Strings and Basso continuo in B minor RV 580Arrangement: Michael Lewin5 I Allegro 3:53Silvius Leopold Weiss 1687–17506 Passacaille in D major WeissSW 18.6 3:36Domenico Scarlatti 1685–17577 Sonata in F minor K 466 (L 118) 5:12 Arrangement: Michael LewinAntonio Vivaldi 1678–1741Concerto for 4 Violins, Cello, Strings and Basso continuo in B minor RV 580Arrangement: Michael Lewin8 III Allegro 3:21Johann Sebastian Bach 1685–1750Partita for Solo Violin No. 2 in D minor BWV 10049 V Chaconne 15 :11Alessandro Marcello 1669–1747Concerto for Oboe, Strings and Basso continuo in D minor 10 II Adagio 3 :42Luigi Boccherini 1743–1805Quintet for Guitar, 2 Violins, Viola and Cello No. 4in D major G 44811 IV Fandango 3:50after the 2nd Movement of String Quintet in D Major “Del Fandango” G 341Silvius Leopold Weiss 1687–175012 Fantasie in C minor WeissSV9 2:20François Couperin 1668–173313 Les Barricades mystérieuses 3 :43The Mysterious Barricadesfrom Pièces de clavecin, Second livre, ordre n° 6Antonio Vivaldi 1678–1741Trio Sonata for Violin, Lute and Basso continuo in C major RV 8214 II Larghetto 3:51 Arrangement: Michael LewinThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

With “a prodigious clarity of diction” (Scherzo) and “a moving tendresse” (BBC Music Magazine), Esther Yoo has been described as “the model of a violin soloist in the modern age.” (The Strad). In 2010, she became the youngest prizewinner of the International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition, and of the Queen Elisabeth Competition two years later. She talks about both. In 2014, she became a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and in 2018 she was selected as one of Classic FM's Top 30 Artists under 30. In 2020, she was named one of WQXR's ‘20 For 20' artists to watch.  We talk about the value of competitions, the physical and mental health of performing musicians and lots more on this delightful episode.

It was my privilege to be joined for this episode by acclaimed Canadian Composer and Pianist, Frank Horvat to discuss his own journey with mental illness; the effects it's had on him personally, as well as professionally; and now his advocacy work reaching out to young musicians to discuss their own struggles.Over the centuries, many of the composers that we know all too well, were also battling mental health issues. It's only recently that the stigma surrounding this is beginning to lift and people can have an open dialogue without being judged. But what is the link between creativity and mental health? How does it affect a composer's output or a performer's interpretation of music? Please join me for this very special episode.Frank's BioFrank explores a wide array of themes in his music from love to the environment, mental health and social justice issues. He gives his audiences time and space to reflect in this fast-paced world. Frank's compositions tell deeply personal stories while permitting audiences to ponder their own.His works have been featured on over twenty albums on labels including ATMA Classique, Really Records, and Centrediscs. With composition premieres on four continents, his music has been showcased internationally in theatre, feature films, and radio/TV networks including BBC Radio 3, Bravo, CBC, CBS, Discovery, HBO, Vice, and featured in publications such as Gramophone, The Strad, BBC Music Magazine, Toronto Star and Vancouver Sun.Frank's 2021 album, Music for Self-Isolation, was listed in the top 5 classical albums of the year by CBC Classical, plus, Frank's other 2021 album, Project Dovetail, was included in CBC Music's ‘must hear' Fall albums.For more with Frank, please check out his linktree: https://linktr.ee/frankhorvatPiano Therapy Virtual Tour: https://frankhorvat.com/ptvt__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

In a special episode, we're joined by a panel of independent experts to examine where next for the BBC, as it undertakes another review into impartiality in the wake of Lineker and pressure from the Government.Dr Graham Majin (Lecturer Bournemouth University, Author Truthophobia) gives us the historical context - Is impartiality dying? Or just evolving?Roger Bolton (ex-Feedback, host of Roger Bolton's Beeb Watch) explains why leaked Whats App messages showing political pressure on BBC journalists from Downing Street is particularly concerning.And Faraz Osman (Gold Wala Productions) fires a round of quick-fire impartiality questions, from how to cover Brexit to whether politicians should be allowed to host on TV.PLUS the BBC faces its biggest strikes in a decade: change might be inevitable, but could it have been handled differently?Also on the programme: We speak to Freya Parr, writer for BBC Music Magazine, to find out the latest on the BBC Singers, faced with closure in its 99th year.

Since the 1980s, composer Kaija Saariaho has been lauded for her explorations of sound and music, from tape and live electronics mixed with layered orchestral textures, to opera, song cycles and smaller scale pieces. In the BBC Music Magazine's top 20 composers of all time, Kaija Saariaho is the only one alive today; as she moves into her eighth decade, there's no sign that she wants to stop creating the magical sounds she has become known for. Kaija was born in Helsinki in Finland, but since 1982 has spent most of her time living and working in Paris. Keval Shah meets Kaija in Helsinki just as her most recent opera Innocence is having its Finnish premiere - part of her 70th birthday celebrations. But there's not much time for Kaija to rest after the conclusion of this huge, 10-year project. A text message prompts her to start thinking about a new work and a new challenge: a trumpet concerto. We visit jazz trumpeter Verneri Pohjola on a grey Helsinki day (with plenty of candles) to find out how Kaija's composition process develops through collaboration with the musicians who will be playing or singing her music. And we hear some unexpected trumpet techniques that may find their way into the new concerto - from flap tonguing to what Verneri calls ‘white noise'.

- Jest jeszcze taka drobna niewiadoma, co potem. Na razie to jeszcze nie jest nagroda, ale świadomość, że BBC nominuje nasze nagrania jest niesamowita. A wszystko to mieści się w jednej wspaniałej kompozytorce - Grażynie Bacewicz. W jej charakterze, jej mistrzostwie, jej geniuszu - mówiła w "Poranku Dwójki" maestra Agnieszka Duczmal o płycie "Bacewicz: Music for Chamber Orchestra vol. III", która jest nominowana do nagrody BBC Music Magazine Awards 2023.

Prior recordings by Duo Gazzana have seen the Italian sisters garner much praise and critical acclaim for their “imaginative playing, and willingness to color outside the customary lines” (Fanfare). The BBC Music Magazine called their interpretation of César Franck's Violin Sonata “a masterclass”, and the German Spiegel magazine considers them “one of the most interesting new chamber duos, capable of successfully linking seemingly disparate artists like Ligeti, Ravel, and Messiaen with conviction.” In a continued balancing act of combining inventive contemporary works with traditional classical repertoire on ECM New Series, this time the duo of Italian sisters Gazzana ventures back to the 19th century for impassioned interpretations of Robert Schumann's Sonata op. 105 and Edvard Grieg's Sonata op. 45. Premiere recordings of Estonian composer Tõnu Kõrvits's Stalker Suite and notturni, each in four movements, make up the contemporary part of the program.Track Listing:1 Kõrvits: Stalker Suite / I.

Synopsis For their February 2013 cover story, the editors of BBC Music Magazine, came up with a list of the 50 most influential people in the history of music.  Bach was on it, as you might expect – but so was Shakespeare. Any music lover can see the logic in that, and cite pieces like Mendelssohn's music for “A Midsummer Night's Dream” or Tchaikovsky's Overture-Fantasy entitled “Romeo and Juliet,” or all the great operas based on Shakespeare's plays, ranging from Verdi's “Falstaff” to a recent setting of “The Tempest” by Thomas Adès. And speaking of “The Tempest,” in New York on today's date in 1981, Sharon Robinson premiered a new solo cello suite she commissioned from the American composer Ned Rorem,  a work titled “After Reading Shakespeare.” “Yes,” says Rorem,  “I was re-reading Shakespeare the month the piece was accomplished… Yet the experience did not so much inspire the music itself as provide a cohesive program upon which the music be might formalized, and thus intellectually grasped by the listener.” Rorem even confessed that some of the titles were added AFTER the fact, “as when parents christen their children.“   After all, as Shakespeare's Juliet might put it, “What's in a name?” Music Played in Today's Program Ned Rorem (b. 1923) — After Reading Shakespeare (Sharon Robinson, cello) Naxos 8.559316 On This Day Births 1835 - Austrian composer and conductor Eduard Strauss, in Vienna; He was the youngest son of Johann Strauss, Sr.; 1864 - Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist Johan Halvorsen, in Drammen; 1901 - American composer Colin McPhee, in Montréal, Canada; 1926 - American composer Ben Johnston, in Macon, Ga.; 1928 - American composer Nicolas Flagello, in New York City; Deaths 1842 - Italian composer Luigi Cherubini, age 81, in Paris; 1918 - French composer Lili Boulanger, age 24, in Mezy; 1942 - Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, age 70, in Larchmont, N.Y.; Premieres 1807 - Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 (first public performance), in Vienna, at a benefit concert conducted by the composer; 1885 - Franck: symphonic poem "Les Dijinns" (The Genies), in Paris; 1897 - Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 (Gregorian date: Mar. 27); 1908 - Ravel: "Rapsodie espagnole" (Spanish Rhapsody), in Paris; 1911 - Scriabin: Symphony No. 5 ("Prometheus: Poem of Fire"), in Moscow, conducted by Serge Koussevitzky and with the composer performing the solo piano part (Julian date: Mar. 2); 1981 - Stockhausen: opera "Donnerstag, aus Licht" (Thursday, from Light), in Milan at the Teatro alla Scala; This is one of a projected cycle of seven operas, each named after a day of the week; 1994 - Peter Maxwell Davies: "Chat Moss" (the name of a quagmire in Lancashire) for orchestra, in Liverpool by the orchestra of St. Edward's College, John Moseley conducting; 2000 - Corigliano: "Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan," at Carnegie Hall, by soprano Sylvia McNair and pianist Martin Katz; An orchestrated version of this song-cycle premiered in Minneapolis on October 23, 2003, with soprano Hila Plitmann and the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano; Others 1895 - Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, age 22, makes his operatic debut at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples, singing the lead tenor role in Domenico Morelli's comic opera "L'Amico Francesco."

A prolific concert performer, Andrew has appeared with the Berliner and Wiener Philharmoniker, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with Sir Simon Rattle; the Orchestre de Paris, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and London Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Harding; the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the ScottishChamber Orchestra with Robin Ticciati; the Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest, the Orcherstre Métropolitain and the Philadelphia Orchestra with Yannick Nézet-Séguin; the Accademia Santa Cecilia with Semyon Bychkov; and the Staatskapelle Berlin with Daniel Barenboim. Andrew made his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden as Jacquino Fidelio, returning for Flamand Capriccio, Tamino Die Zauberflöte, Tichon Katya Kabanova and Narraboth Salome. He has also appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, the National Theatre Prague; La Monnaie Brussels; the Salzburger Festspiele; Hamburgische Staatsoper, Theater an der Wien, the Lucerne Festival and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Staples has staged Le nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte, Cenerentola and La bohème in London, at the Jordan Music Festiavl, Musique Cordiale in Provence and the Menton Festival. His celebrated semi-staging of Die Zauberflöte for the Lucerne Festival, conducted by Daniel Harding culminated in a full staging in Stockholm's Drottningholm Palace Theatre with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Andrew believes firmly in the evolution of cultural content for screen. Bringing his experience on stage both as a performer and director, he has made a series of music films. Aiming to bring cinematic techniques and rigour to the pre- and post-production phase of his projects, his films aim to capture the thrill of live performance and present it to an audience on screen who desire something more than an archive or stream of the event. The potential to create and evolve in this space is huge and he enjoys the opportunity to collaborate with artists, organisations and cultural broadcasters. In 2021 he received the Royal Philharmonic Society Enterprise Fund Trailblazer Grant, presented in association with Harriet's Trust, in order to support and advance the making of such music films. As a photographer, Staples' work has been featured in the Times, The Evening Standard, Lawyer Magazine, the front cover of The Strad, the BBC Music Magazine, various CD cover images, The National Portrait Gallery's magazine and a number of artist's and ensembles photographs including Tim Mead, Mary Bevan, the Borodin Quartet, The King's Singers, The Gabrieli Consort and Players and Voces8.

Als das BBC Music Magazine 151 der weltweit bekanntesten Dirigenten bat, die ihrer Meinung nach größten Sinfonien aller Zeiten aufzulisten, stand Beethovens Dritte, die Eroica, an erster Stelle. Sie entstand aus Beethovens eigenem Kampf, als er langsam sein Gehör verlor. Die Musik ruft extreme Gefühlsschwankungen hervor; einerseits fühlt man sich menschlich und lebendig, andererseits steht man Herausforderungen gegenüber. Durch diese Achterbahn der Gefühle von Glück, Traurigkeit und schließlich Triumph gilt Beethovens dritte Symphonie als zeitlose Hommage an den menschlichen Geist.

Playing with ‘an inherent nobility that speaks to the heart' (International Record Review), he is celebrated for combining ‘brilliant technique with the confidence to take risks' (Bachtrack) and his ‘utterly convincing' interpretations (BBC Music Magazine). Recognised as a rising star since winning the BBC Young Musician strings category and being the top European prize-winner at the Menuhin Competition in 2010, Smart now enjoys concert appearances with the UK's leading orchestras, including re-invitations to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Fiona Maddocks played music as a young girl at the Royal College of Music on Saturdays, but after a frightening experience at a Masterclass with Nadia Boulanger, she knew for certain she didn't want to be on stage, or indeed be the centre of attention at all. While studying English at Cambridge, she spent her spare time playing the violin with chamber groups and orchestras, before setting out in London as a young hopeful writer and finding the doors well and truly shut. From her early role running a radio switchboard for incoming calls, via politics and current affairs, Fiona was later part of the team that set up Channel 4, was the first music editor of The Independent and founding editor of BBC Music Magazine.  She was also chief Arts feature writer of the Evening Standard, and is the author of four books from Hildegard von Bingen to Harrison Birtwistle, all of which she negotiated alongside the demands of bringing up a young family, almost single-handedly. Now, as Chief Music Critic of The Observer, Fiona is the only woman in that role on a UK broadsheet newspaper. Fiona's books can be found here and her literary agency can be found here

In this episode, Tom is joined by special co-host Jerry Miskell for an interview with author Stephen Johnson about his latest work, The Eighth: Mahler and the World in 1910, which was named one of the best books about classical music in 2020 by the BBC. In the book, Stephen recounts the far-reaching effect of Mahler's 8th Symphony on composers, conductors and writers of the time. Stephen re-assesses Mahler's thoughts in the context of the prevailing thought of his age, not only in relation to the artistic and intellectual movements of the time, but through consideration of political climate and historical background, and on into science, medicine, technology, mass entertainment, and even the development of modern PR. Stephen Johnson is an author, composer and broadcaster, and has been called “The authoritative British voice of classical music.” He has been a frequent broadcaster for BBC Radio 3, Radio 4 and World Service, and has written regularly for the Independent, the Guardian, BBC Music Magazine and Gramophone. (Learn more at Stephen's website.) Jerry Miskell is a viola player with the Akron Symphony Orchestra and chair of the music department at Mount Union University, where among his many duties he teaches an advanced class called Hearing Heaven: Death, Dying and Afterlife in the Music of Gustav Mahler. The 8th Symphony remains Jerry's favorite work by Mahler, although it remains just one of the two he has not performed professionally.

There you will find musical performances, musician interviews, podcast episodes, and a variety of educational resources.

In this week's episode of the Music to my Ears podcast, we speak to Paul Morley, the pop journalist and musician and, more recently, classical music devotee . Brought up in Stockport, Paul cut his teeth in music journalism in Manchester. He then went on to write for the New Musical Express, where he rapidly became one of the paper’s most respected critics, leading to regular appearances on radio and TV.In 1983, Morley and producer Trevor Horn founded ZTT Records, which soon hit both the top of the charts and the headlines with the release of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome album. In the same year, they also formed the group The Art of Noise, which had a string of hits including a cover of Prince’s Kiss, featuring Tom Jones.In more recent years, however, Paul has turned his attention towards classical music, and in 2010 took part in a BBC Four documentary called The Art of Composing, which saw him study at the Royal Academy of Music for a year. In 2020, he charted his developing interest in a new book called A Sound Mind: How I Fell In Love with Classical Music, which has now been published by Bloomsbury.Paul talked to BBC Music Magazine’s deputy editor Jeremy Pound over Zoom during the second period of lockdown in England, and told him how, from his pop and rock background, he gradually fell under classical music’s spell.Recordings featured:Brian Eno: Fullness of Wind (Variation on Pachelbel's Canon in D)Debussy: Pelléas et Mélisande: 'Je les tiens dans le mains'London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon RattleLSO Live LSO0790Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 2: I.

In this episode of the Music to my Ears podcast, BBC Music Magazine speaks to Karina Canellakis, who is currently chief conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and principal guest conductor of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, and has been recently appointed as principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.Karina was born and brought up in a very musical family in New York. She initially studied and began her career as a violinist and played in a number of the world’s leading orchestras, and it was while she was playing with the Berlin Philharmonic as a member of its Orchester-Akademie that she was encouraged to take up conducting by Sir Simon Rattle. From that moment, she has never looked back, and has since led top ensembles across the globe, including the Dallas Symphony Orchestra where she held her first post, as assistant conductor. She is equally at home in opera, and has conducted major productions of works by composers ranging from Mozart to Maxwell Davies.Karina talked to BBC Music Magazine’s deputy editor Jeremy Pound over Zoom during the second period of lockdown, and talked to him about the thrill of of working with contemporary composers, the rarity of female role models and the sheer joy of Wagner.Recordings featured:Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf Op. 67 No. 5Alexander Armstrong (narrator), Richard Casey, Ian Buckle (piano duet)Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra/Vasily PetrenkoWarner Classics 9029575952Wagner: Die Walküre: PreludeWolfgang Windgassen (Tristan), Birgit Nilsson (Isolde), Christa Ludwig (Brangäne), Martti Talvela (King Marke), Eberhard Waechter (Kurwenal), Peter Schreier (Seemann Chor und Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, Karl BöhmDG 4497722Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (Act III): 'Denn einer nur freie die Braut'Vienna Philharmonic/Georg SoltiDecca 4786192Stephen Sondheim: Sweeney ToddBryn Terfel (bass-baritone), Anne Sofie von Otter (mezzo-soprano), Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra/Paul DanielDG 4778554 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The 9th episode of Darmstadt On Air is dedicated to composer Annea Lockwood who is interviewed by music journalist and Darmstadt tutor Kate Molleson. Annea was born in Christchurch/New Zealand in 1939 and moved to England in 1961to study composition at the Royal College of Music in London. In the same year, she took part in the Darmstadt Summer Course for the first time. Registered as Anna Ferguson Lockwood in 1961, 1962 and 1963, she attended classes by Olivier Messiaen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio and others. In Darmstadt, Annea also met Franco Evangelisti who became a close friend and it was him who recommended that she asked Gottfried Michael Koenig if she might study with him which she went on to do from 1963 to 1964. A decade later, she moved to New York where she was in touch with Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, La Monte Young and members of the Sonic Arts Union. With Kate Molleson she talks about her life as a composer, her early important experience in Darmstadt, about her glass concerts and long durational river recordings, about DIYness and the small scenes in New York. Kate is a journalist and broadcaster, based in Edinburgh. She presents BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show and Music Matters. Her articles are published in The Guardian and The Herald, BBC Music Magazine or Gramophone. She teaches music journalism at Dartington and Darmstadt. Kate recommends: "It’s so worth spending time with Annea's music. 'Tiger Balm' is just wonderful, and the 'Glass World' album, and her later river maps. Also more recent pieces like 'Wild Energy' and 'Dusk'."

V dětství doufal, že ho někdy ostatní kluci vytáhnou z domu na fotbal, ale marně. Nepřišli, a proto měl dnes jedenačtyřicetiletý virtuos Ivo Kahánek dostatek času na piano. Letos v květnu získal za album klavírních koncertů Antonína Dvořáka a Bohuslava Martinů titul pro nejlepší nahrávku roku od britského časopisu BBC Music Magazine, a kamarádů už má dávno spoustu. Zdaleka totiž nežije jen hudbou – a je s ním zábava.

Á mánudaginn tilkynnti sænska leikhúsið Dramaten frá brottrekstri leikhústjórans, Eriks Stubø. Meðal þess sem varð til þess var heimildamynd sem sýnd var í sænska ríkissjónvarpinu í lok síðasta mánðar. Halla Þórlaug Óskarsdóttir fer yfir söguna.

In the week leading up to our celebration of International Women's Day, a series of The Essay celebrating five women who have been unacknowledged movers and shakers in the world of classical music down the ages. Each of these women overcame societal expectations or personal adversity to have real influence on the music of their day, and subsequently ours.Betty Freeman was possibly the most influential patron of twentieth century classical music. From 1964 onwards, she gave a total of 413 grants and commissions for living expenses, compositions, recordings, performances and librettos to 81 artists. These include John Cage, Steve Reich, Robert Wilson and Peter Sellars and also younger composers such as Olga Neuwirth and Hans Peter Kyburz. An editor of BBC Music Magazine, Helen Wallace looks for the woman behind the list of names and discovers what drove her to play so formative a role in the lives of these great musicians.Produced by Simon RichardsonTo find out more about Radio 3's International Women's Day programming follow @BBCRadio3 and the hashtag #womensday.
