Podcasts about Ludwig van Beethoven

 Swan Songs Portland has a simple but powerful mission: to provide free, intimate concerts for people at the end of their lives and pay local musicians to perform them. The nonprofit fulfilled its first concert request last autumn when it hired a mariachi band to play for a person terminally ill with cancer, surrounded by her friends and family. It is the first affiliate of Swan Songs, which was founded in Austin, Texas 20 years ago.   Currently serving Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties, SSP has nearly 50 musicians – and growing –  it can call on short notice to perform an array of requested musical styles, from Beethoven to Bob Dylan-esque folk and rock. Jim Friscia is Swan Songs Portland’s board president and concert planner. Karyn Thurston is a musician and  board member of SSP who performs with her partner, Ben Grace, in the folk music duo Story & Tune. They join us, along with Terri Burton, who had requested a concert for her dying mother that Grace performed earlier this year.

En el otoño de 2014, un viernes cualquiera, Carlos Alsina y Rubén Amón (junto a David Gistau y Manuel Jabois) le robaron un rato de radio a La Brújula para hablar de otras cosas. Disertaron sobre ‘Interstellar' y de ‘Las uvas de las ira', sobre qué significa ser cultureta en un mundo (con Rajoy en el gobierno y un Felipe VI recién proclamado) en el que empezaban a abrirse paso, lentamente, las plataformas audiovisuales y los libros electrónicos. Así nació La Cultureta hace ya más de diez años, como espacio experimental, y su éxito no tardó en provocar emanciparla y establecerla como contenido independiente y reconocible, "clandestino y autoparódico".Lo celebramos, este viernes de junio de 2025, de la mano de Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares y Sergio del Molino. Y lo hacemos colándonos en uno de nuestros lugares predilectos: la sala de conciertos. Junto a piano, violines, clarinetes y timbales, nos adentramos en la historia de las orquestas y sus instrumentos. Y divulgamos una de las pasiones culturetas por antonomasia: la música clásica.¿Cómo nacieron las orquestas? ¿Cómo y por qué fueron incorporando sus diferentes instrumentos y secciones? ¿Y cuáles son las historias de sus propios miembros? Indagamos en todo ello desde la Escuela Superior de Música de Madrid, donde disfrutamos de música en directo (Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi) bajo la batuta del director de orquesta Pablo González, con quien también hablaremos y divulgaremos nuestra pasión.

El observatorio Vera Rubin ha ofrecido sus primeras y espectaculares imágenes del firmamento. Este gigantesco telescopio, situado en Chile, está equipado con una cámara de 3.200 megapíxeles, la mayor del mundo. En solo una noche ha descubierto 2.000 asteroides, la décima parte de todos los hallados por el resto de telescopios en un año. Durante la próxima década se encargará de mapear el universo en movimiento, con una sensibilidad, escala y velocidad nunca vistas hasta el momento, abriendo una nueva era en la astronomía. Hemos entrevistado al cosmólogo Juan García-Bellido Capdevila, catedrático de Física Teórica en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, investigador del Instituto de Física Teórica (CSIC/UAM) y miembro de la Real Academia de Ciencias. Alejandro Muñoz nos ha informado de un proyecto europeo liderado por el CSIC para desarrollar un sistema de alerta temprana para prevenir la mortalidad de pinares y encinares. Con testimonios de Alberto Hornero, investigador del Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible. Hemos informado de la Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología que elabora cada dos años la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT). Los españoles muestran un alto grado de confianza en la ciencia y la tecnología y un creciente interés por esos temas, así como un convencimiento de que los beneficios que reporta son mayores que los perjuicios, pero echan de menos una mayor sensibilidad social y una mejor comunicación. La aleación, el arte de mezclar metales con otros elementos, ha sido durante mucho tiempo una piedra angular de la ciencia de los materiales y la metalurgia. Por el contrario, la desaleación se ha conocido principalmente como un proceso corrosivo que degrada los materiales y debilita su estructura. José Manuel Torralba nos ha contado una investigación del Instituto Max Planck que ha convertido estos dos procesos aparentemente opuestos en un concepto innovador y sostenible de síntesis de nuevos materiales. El doctor Pedro Gargantilla nos ha hablado de la sordera de Beethoven, de sus posibles causas y de cómo le influyó en su vida diaria y en su creatividad. Con Javier Ablanque al mando de nuestra máquina del tiempo hemos viajado al Méjico precolombino del siglo X para presenciar un curioso fenómeno físico, la Cola de Quetzal, la reverberación que se produce en la escalinata de la pirámide de Chichén Itzá.Escuchar audio

This Day in Legal History: Federal Housing AdministrationOn June 27, 1934, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created through the National Housing Act, marking a major shift in the federal government's role in the housing market. The FHA was designed to address the housing crisis of the Great Depression, when foreclosures were rampant and private lenders were reluctant to issue long-term mortgages. By insuring loans made by private lenders, the FHA significantly reduced the risk of default, making it easier and more affordable for Americans to buy homes.The FHA introduced standardized, amortized 20- and 30-year mortgages—innovations that quickly became industry norms. These reforms expanded access to home financing for middle-class families and jump-started suburban development. However, the agency's early policies also entrenched racial segregation through redlining, where predominantly Black neighborhoods were systematically denied FHA-backed loans.While the FHA has since evolved and is now part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), its legacy is a mix of increased homeownership and the deepening of racial disparities in wealth and housing. The legal framework it helped establish continues to shape U.S. housing policy today, making it a pivotal moment in both real estate law and civil rights history. Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy voiced alarm over the state of American political discourse during a recent international judicial forum, warning that the tone of current debates poses a threat to democracy and freedom. Speaking without directly referencing President Trump, Kennedy criticized the rise of identity politics and emphasized that civil discourse should be about issues, not partisan affiliations. He argued that judges are essential to a functioning democracy and must be protected—both physically and in terms of public respect.Other speakers, including South African jurist Richard Goldstone and U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, echoed Kennedy's concerns. Goldstone condemned personal attacks on judges who ruled against the current administration, while Salas highlighted the growing danger judges face, referencing her own experience with targeted violence and the record-high levels of threats now being reported in the U.S.The event underscored a growing consensus among jurists worldwide: that political attacks on the judiciary undermine democratic institutions and risk eroding the rule of law.Retired US Supreme Court Justice Kennedy warns 'freedom is at risk' | ReutersA federal judge has rejected a joint attempt by Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to finalize a reduced settlement in their long-running legal battle over unregistered XRP token sales. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres criticized both parties for proposing a $50 million fine in lieu of a previously imposed $125 million penalty and for attempting to nullify a permanent injunction she had ordered.Judge Torres ruled in 2023 that Ripple's public XRP sales weren't securities, but $728 million in sales to institutional investors violated federal securities laws. While both sides appealed, they later proposed to settle—if the court would cancel the injunction and approve the reduced fine. Torres refused, stating they lacked authority to override a court's final judgment involving a violation of congressional statute.She emphasized that exceptional circumstances justifying the request were not present and that vacating a permanent injunction would undermine the public interest and the administration of justice. The SEC and Ripple still have the option to continue their appeals or drop them entirely.The case is notable amid a broader shift under President Trump's second term, during which the SEC has dropped several high-profile crypto enforcement actions. XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market value.SEC, Ripple wants to settle crypto lawsuit, but US judge rebuffs them | ReutersThe Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with its plan to end automatic birthright citizenship by narrowing the scope of judicial injunctions. Previously, lower courts had issued nationwide injunctions blocking the policy, but the Court ruled these injunctions should apply only to the parties involved in the lawsuits. This means that the policy can now proceed in most states, except those like New Hampshire where separate legal challenges remain in effect. The Court's decision followed ideological lines, with the conservative majority backing the administration and liberal justices dissenting. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, emphasized that courts must not overreach their authority even when they find executive actions unlawful. In contrast, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the ruling could erode the rule of law by allowing inconsistent application of federal policy across states.The ruling does not address the constitutionality of ending birthright citizenship, leaving that question open for future litigation. The Trump administration's executive order, issued on January 20, 2025, reinterprets the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause to exclude children born in the U.S. to non-citizen or non-resident parents. This reinterpretation challenges the longstanding understanding established by the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which confirmed that nearly all individuals born on U.S. soil are citizens. The administration has argued that judges lack the authority to impose broad injunctions and that states challenging the policy lack standing. While the policy remains blocked in certain jurisdictions, the administration can now continue planning for its implementation and potentially face a patchwork of future legal challenges.Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship planIn a piece I wrote for Forbes yesterday, the Trump administration briefly floated Section 899, a provision dubbed the “revenge tax,” as a retaliatory measure against countries imposing taxes deemed discriminatory toward U.S. companies—particularly tech giants. This measure, hidden within the broader One Big Beautiful Bill Act, proposed punitive tax increases on income earned in the U.S. by individuals and entities linked to “discriminatory foreign countries.” The policy was a response to international developments like the OECD's Pillar 2 framework and digital services taxes (DSTs), which the U.S. perceived as disproportionately targeting American firms.Section 899 would have enabled the Treasury to impose annual 5% tax hikes on everything from dividends to real estate gains, even overriding exemptions for sovereign wealth funds. What made the provision particularly aggressive was its vague triggering criteria—any foreign tax Treasury considered “unfair” could activate the penalties, without congressional oversight.Despite its bold intent, Section 899 was ultimately abandoned. It generated concern among investors and foreign governments alike, with critics warning it would destabilize capital markets and act as an unofficial sanctions regime. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent eventually signaled its withdrawal, citing improved diplomatic relations. Though shelved for now, the idea may resurface if international tax disputes escalate.Section 899—The ‘Revenge Tax' That Didn't SurviveA double dose of me this week, another piece I wrote for Forbes:The Pro Codes Act, currently before Congress as H.R.4072, poses a serious threat to public access to the law by allowing private organizations to retain copyright over technical standards—even after those standards are incorporated by reference into statutes and regulations. Although pitched as a transparency measure, the bill effectively transforms enforceable legal obligations into intellectual property governed by restrictive licenses and online viewer limitations.The Act would require standards to be “publicly accessible,” but this access might mean only being able to view documents behind login walls, with no ability to download, search, or integrate them into legal or compliance tools. This is particularly troubling in areas like tax law, where these standards often form the basis for determining eligibility for deductions or credits.By commodifying access to legal standards, the Pro Codes Act would introduce a two-tiered system: well-resourced firms could pay for commercial access, while small legal clinics, nonprofits, and individuals could find themselves effectively barred from the rules they're legally obligated to follow. The result is an unequal legal landscape where justice becomes contingent on financial capacity.The bill directly undermines a key legal principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 2020: laws and materials carrying the force of law cannot be copyrighted. Permitting private entities to control access to mandatory standards shifts power away from the public and toward entities seeking to monetize compliance.Pro Codes Act—Or, What If The Law Came Behind A Paywall?This week's closing theme is Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn—a composer whose elegance, intellect, and structural precision made him one of the early Romantic era's brightest voices. Born into a wealthy, culturally vibrant German-Jewish family in 1809, Mendelssohn was a child prodigy whose musical maturity arrived astonishingly early. He played a pivotal role in reviving J.S. Bach's legacy and was admired for his orchestral works, choral music, and virtuosic piano writing.Composed in 1841, the Variations sérieuses reflect a side of Mendelssohn that is often overshadowed by his lighter, more lyrical pieces. Written as a contribution to a fundraising album for a monument to Beethoven, the work pays tribute to that master's weight and depth. In this set of 17 variations on a solemn original theme, Mendelssohn channels both Classical form and Romantic intensity. The variations begin introspectively but grow in technical difficulty and emotional force, culminating in a stormy, almost defiant finale.Unlike many variation sets of the time, which favored decorative flourishes, Mendelssohn's sérieuses live up to their name: they are dense, architecturally rigorous, and deeply expressive. The piece showcases his command of counterpoint, his sensitivity to dynamic contrasts, and his ability to build drama without sacrificing formal clarity. It's music that demands both interpretive depth and virtuosity—qualities that have kept it central to the serious piano repertoire for over 180 years. Mendelssohn once described music as a language too precise for words, and this piece speaks volumes in that tongue. It is a fitting and focused way to close the week.Without further ado, Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn – enjoy! This is a public episode.

A treat for fans of Gyles's diaries, as this week we've got another edition of the gap year diaries... so that's two in a row! In this episode, we start off with a visit from the writer/performer Tama Matheson, who brought Beethoven to life so brilliantly on an episode of More Rosebud a couple of weeks ago. Tama tells Gyles and Harriet about his forthcoming show about Beethoven: 'I Shall Hear in Heaven', on 6 and 8 August, tickets are available from www.operahollandpark.com. Then we get into Gyles's diaries. In this episode, Gyles visits Texas and Louisiana, and is shocked by the racial inequality he sees all around him. He goes to San Francisco and LA, and is intrigued by the hippies. And he eventually flies home, where he is greeted by a new baby niece and Sally, his girlfriend. Gyles tells Harriet about his x-rated, secret diary, and about his thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey. Enjoy this! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

History is something big that happens in the past that you look back on and wonder about… ofttimes we only know about it from the pages of a book, old video footage, relics in a museum, or something like that, but there are also living resources for history in the memories of older people and indeed in your OWN head. This Quackcast was inspired by me thinking about musicians like Prince, Queen, and David Bowie- many younger people now are looking back on them as if they were musical geniuses, like Beethoven and Mozart, but I can clearly recall when they were just pop-musicians, you were interested to hear their latest stuff on the radio of their latest video but it wasn't ground shaking. They were not considered super dooper massive cultural icons then, in fact they had less regard and hero worship than most modern young celebs do now! Your average popular “influencer” probably gets more regard now than David Bowie did back in the 70s and 80s. As Generation Xers Banes, Tantz, and I were part of a world in the later days old the cold war, when it was at its peak, before the end. This flavoured all of culture in all sorts of direct and indirect ways and if you don't understand that then you can't properly understand those cultural products that came out of that time. All the massive prosperity of the west and ultra-capitalism from the 1950s onwards with the USA solidly driving all western culture was because after WW2 the world was split in 2 and everyone had to unite around the USA because they were the strongest power militarily and economically in opposition to the “communist block”, NATO vs the Warsaw Pact. It's the reason American media from Hollywood stayed as so huge, the reason American influence in music was so primary, and the same with style, design, and technology. But there are plenty of direct influences too, a character like James Bond makes no sense outside of that split world, in fact nor does any spy fiction that came from then. The Klingons in Star Trek were Russians. The action genre in movies solidly had to do with the cold war- Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's career's were formed around Cold War influences… What big aspects of history where you “there” for? The fall of the Berlin Wall, Perestroika, 9/11, The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the start of myspace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the beginnings of social media and influencer culture, the rise of reality TV, the fall of bookshops…? This week Gunwallace was inspired to craft a musical theme to Capricious Infection - A mystical, magical, stargazing sound here, touches of Journey of the Sorcerer by The Eagles.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gambling. One would think that with the steely blue eyes of Steve McQueen and the highest-stakes poker game ever concocted, we'd be cooking with fire with this next film. Instead, we get one of the most boring 100-minute movies committed to celluloid. Nearly an hour of this movie is preamble and exposition and when we finally get to the poker game we might as well have just had the Kid lose in the first few hands. There are many ways to approach a good poker movie, and this movie chooses literally none of them. Join us as we yawn through 1965's The Cincinnati Kid on Have a Good Movie!

En el otoño de 2014, un viernes cualquiera, Carlos Alsina y Rubén Amón (junto a David Gistau y Manuel Jabois) le robaron un rato de radio a La Brújula para hablar de otras cosas. Disertaron sobre ‘Interstellar' y de ‘Las uvas de las ira', sobre qué significa ser cultureta en un mundo (con Rajoy en el gobierno y un Felipe VI recién proclamado) en el que empezaban a abrirse paso, lentamente, las plataformas audiovisuales y los libros electrónicos. Así nació La Cultureta hace ya más de diez años, como espacio experimental, y su éxito no tardó en provocar emanciparla y establecerla como contenido independiente y reconocible, "clandestino y autoparódico".Lo celebramos, este viernes de junio de 2025, de la mano de Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares y Sergio del Molino. Y lo hacemos colándonos en uno de nuestros lugares predilectos: la sala de conciertos. Junto a piano, violines, clarinetes y timbales, nos adentramos en la historia de las orquestas y sus instrumentos. Y divulgamos una de las pasiones culturetas por antonomasia: la música clásica.¿Cómo nacieron las orquestas? ¿Cómo y por qué fueron incorporando sus diferentes instrumentos y secciones? ¿Y cuáles son las historias de sus propios miembros? Indagamos en todo ello desde la Escuela Superior de Música de Madrid, donde disfrutamos de música en directo (Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi) bajo la batuta del director de orquesta Pablo González, con quien también hablaremos y divulgaremos nuestra pasión.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of death, knife fights, gunfire, murder, sexual misconduct, parental trauma, parental negliect, parental abuse. We weren't aware there was such a thing as being a method director, but this legendary film seems to have proven that's a thing. Because it's one thing to make a schlocky B-movie for teenagers about juvenile delinquents. It's another completely to try to reverse engineer that terrible movie into art for a budding movie star and enable his worst tendencies while also having an affair with his 16-year-old co-star, and his other co-star, and possibly him. This movie is a mess, which is actually being kind, because its director might be even more of a disaster. Somehow a bad movie with great acting gives us perhaps some of the greatest trivia of all time. We're deep in our angsty feels as we watch 1955's Rebel Without a Cause on Have a Good Movie!

1824 ist kein gutes Jahr für Schubert: Zoff unter Freunden, ein Opern-Flop und eine schwere Infektion. Er ist näher am Tod als am Leben – auch musikalisch. Er komponiert das Streichquartett in d-Moll – auch bekannt unter dem Titel: "Der Tod und das Mädchen" ... Von Ben Süverkrüp.

Send us a textDiscover the surprising journey of coffee from ancient Ethiopian tribes to its role in sparking global revolutions in this enlightening exploration of humanity's most beloved beverage."It's about connection, not addiction," I explain while sipping from my favorite brew. Coffee isn't just a morning pick-me-up—it's a cultural phenomenon that has shaped human civilization in profound ways. From its humble origins in Africa, where wild coffee plants were used by nomadic tribes for thousands of years, to becoming the catalyst for intellectual revolutions across Europe, the story of coffee is the story of human connection.Did you know both the American and French revolutions were planned in coffee houses? Or that legendary composers like Bach and Beethoven crafted their masterpieces while enjoying this aromatic elixir? As coffee spread through the Arab world in the 1500s and later took Europe by storm, it created spaces where ideas could flourish and business ventures could take root. Even Lloyd's of London, the famous insurance market, began in a coffee house!Coffee's journey reflects our own complex history—including its darker chapters of colonization and exploitation. Yet through it all, coffee has remained a powerful force for sobriety, creativity, and community. The Italians transformed coffee into an art form with their meticulous preparation methods and varieties like espresso, cappuccino, and moccaccino, elevating it from mere beverage to sensory experience.Whether you're a fellow enthusiast or simply curious about the power of this remarkable bean, join me in appreciating how coffee connects us across time and space.

Ludwig van Beethoven wrote some of the most famous music in the world—even after he went deaf. Hear the story of this determined composer who never gave up on his passion, and why his music is still played today.

O termo "cosmos", amplamente utilizado em diversas tradições filosóficas, especialmente pelos gregos, é o tema central deste episódio. O professor voluntário Tales Freitas, da sede Barra da Tijuca (RJ), conduz uma profunda reflexão sobre o significado do cosmos como mais do que o universo físico — como uma realidade ordenada, viva e dotada de leis que regem tanto os corpos celestes quanto a vida humana. Explora-se a diferença entre "universo" e "cosmos", entendendo o primeiro como o conjunto de elementos materiais e o segundo como a ordem viva e inteligente que permeia tudo. Tales destaca que o cosmos é regido por leis, formas adequadas e vida, elementos que se refletem na beleza e harmonia do mundo natural. A conversa também propõe uma aplicação prática do conceito de cosmos na vida cotidiana, comparando as leis universais com os valores e princípios que regem a conduta humana. A partir da filosofia hermética e do princípio de correspondência, discute-se a unidade entre o microcosmo e o macrocosmo, sugerindo que a consciência humana pode refletir e compreender o todo. O episódio convida à contemplação dos mistérios da vida e do universo, percebendo que, ao olhar atentamente para os pequenos detalhes do cotidiano, é possível vislumbrar os grandes mistérios do cosmos. Participantes: Tales Freitas e Pedro Guimarães  Trilha Sonora: Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60 – Adagio Allegro Vivace, de Ludwig van Beethoven

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of murder, sex work. We've jumped ahead to 1945 to tackle the question of whether it's possible for a movie to have only one likeable character but still be compelling. The verdict - still unclear. This is a bizarre movie, down to the doctor who tries to save a dying young child trying to gain sympathy for having to drive all the way out to the house in the first place. Only one main character is likeable, and fortunately Joan Crawford is up to the task with the role. In fact, for a melodrama with more of a premise than a well-rounded plot and wildly uneven acting, Joan Crawford is the glue that holds all of this together.

This is a fun episode of diaries, as we hear about the gap year travels not only of Gyles, but also of Harriet too. Because she has finally dug out an old diary, and shares a few entries with Gyles at the beginning of today's show - and they're from her gap year, which was partly spent travelling in India. Then we get stuck into Gyles's travels, which were in the U.S. We hear about his job, teaching in a school in Baltimore, his trip to New York City to stay with some relations, his Aunt Polly's funeral, and his money worries. This episode also features another brief appearance from Joan of Arc, who first appeared in the Beethoven show last week - and it features Harriet and Gyles testing out their American accents. Apologies to any genuine Americans listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David Lowery has cracked the code for having it all. In the 80s he fronted the beloved Camper Van Beethoven who rose to (indie) fame with "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and sounding like no one else at the time. Then, when they broke up in the early 90s, he started Cracker which was even more successful commercially with huge hits like "Low" and "Get Off This". Eventually, he found a way to merge the two into a single touring unit which is completely unique to them. Along the way, David has released a solo album or two, including his latest magnum opus - Fathers, Sons and Brothers - a 28-track audio autobiography of sorts. Oh, and he teaches at the University of Georgia. Who does this? No one. David joins us this week to discuss it all.  www.davidlowerymusic.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod
