The commission for a new Clarinet Concerto from the great American composer Aaron Copland came from a rather unlikely source: Benny Goodman, the man known as the King of Swing. Goodman was one of the most famous and important jazz musicians of all time, but in the late 1940s, swing music was on the decline, and bebop had taken over. Goodman experimented with bebop for a time but never fully took to it in the way that he had so mastered swing. Goodman then turned towards the classical repertoire, commissioning music from many of the great composers of the time, such as Bela Bartok, Darius Milhaud, Paul Hindemith, Francis Poulenc, and of course, Aaron Copland. Copland eagerly agreed to the commission, and spent the next year carefully crafting the concerto, which is full of influences from Jazz as well as from Latin American music, perhaps inspired by the four months Copland spent in Latin America while writing the piece. What resulted from all this was a short and compact piece in one continuous movement split into two parts. With an orchestra of only strings, piano, harp, and solo clarinet, Copland created one of the great solo masterpieces of the 20th century. It practically distills everything that makes Copland so great into just 18 minutes of music. Today on the show we'll talk about the difficulty of the piece, something that prevented Benny Goodman from performing the concerto for nearly 2 years, as well as the immense difficulty of the second movement for the orchestra. We'll also talk about all of those quintessentially Copland traits that make his music so wonderful to listen to, and the path this concerto takes from beautiful openness to jazzy fire. Join Us!

Depuis le temps que nous accueillons des artistes dans nos murs, pour des représentations mais aussi pour des semaines de répétitions, nous avons pu entrevoir une grande diversité des façons de travailler chez les chorégraphes. Certains imposent la pratique du yoga, de la méditation ou lisent des poèmes à leurs interprètes avant de commencer la journée de travail. D'autres préparent méthodiquement leur espace jusqu'à nettoyer le sol eux-mêmes avant d'y danser, quand certaines équipes ne commencent pas avant 14h et laissent filer les répétitions jusque tard dans la soirée. Il y a des chorégraphes qui arrivent le premier jour de répétition avec un spectacle déjà entièrement écrit, et d'autres qui écrivent la danse au fur et à mesure, à partir des propositions des interprètes.L'invité de cet épisode a pour sûr, sa manière bien à lui d'organiser le travail de plateau. Nous l'avons enregistré à distance depuis son bureau à Nantes, sa parole est aussi précise et ciselée que sa danse. Rencontrez aujourd'hui Louis Barreau, qui incarne à merveille la combinaison de l'exigence et de la générosité. Bruno Lobé, directeur du Manège, nous explique comment il a découvert son travail.

„Moderne Musik“ - das war seinerzeit kein Schreckenswort. Zumindest nicht, solange man sich nicht mit der Zwölftonmethode eines Arnold Schönberg auseinandersetzen musste. Nebst der „Wiener Schule“ blühten auch die Neoklassik eines Igor Strawinsky, die Volksmusik-Anklänge bei Béla Bartók und Leoš Janáček, oder die letzten symphonischen Versuche des großen finnischen Spätromantikers Jean Sibelius.

SynopsisDecades before the Cuban revolution, some decidedly revolutionary sounds had their birth in that country's capital city on today's date in 1930 during a concert of ultramodern music presented by the Havana Philharmonic.The concert offered the premiere performance of a new Piano Concerto by American composer Henry Cowell, who also was the soloist. Cowell's concerto broke new ground — and perhaps a few piano strings — by employing what Cowell dubbed “tone clusters.” These dense, dissonant chords were produced by pounding the keys of the piano with the fist, palms or extended forearms.Cowell also took his new techniques to the Old World in the 1920s and ‘30s, performing concerts of his works in Europe. These attracted the attention of Bela Bartok, who asked Cowell's permission to employ tone clusters in his works, and Arnold Schoenberg, who invited Cowell to perform for his Berlin composition classes.Cowell's oft-stated goal was to embrace what he described as “the whole world of music,” whether dissonant or consonant, radical or traditional, Western or non-Western. Perhaps that ideal was even more revolutionary than his Piano Concerto must have seemed back in 1930.Music Played in Today's ProgramHenry Cowell (1897-1965) Piano Concerto; Stefan Litwin, piano; Saarbrucken Radio Symphony; Michael Stern, cond.

Scotland-based American conductor Kellen Gray is Assistant Conductor of the English National Opera and Assistant Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. He's attuned to the orchestral repertory, including Bela Bartok, Antonin Dvorak, Aaron Copland, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. He's also passionate about championing African-diasporic composers, and has two critically acclaimed albums - African-American Voices 1 and 2 - with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Suzanne spoke with Kellen Gray about his introduction to music growing up in South Carolina, and how it continues to impact his work as a conductor.
Throughout the history of Western Classical Music, folk music has imprinted itself as an invaluable resource for composers from all over the world. In fact, it's easier to make a list of composers who never used folk music in their compositions than it is to make a list of the composers who did! This tradition began long before the 20th century, but the work of composers like Bartok and a resurgence in the influence of nationalist music sparked a massive increase in composers using folk music throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. Bartok is thought of as the king of using folk music, as he was essentially the worlds first ethnomusicologist. But Stravinsky, who used dozens of uncredited folk tunes in his Rite of Spring, as well as Bernstein, Copland, Gershwin, Grainger, Vaughan Williams, Szymanowski, Dvorak, and so many others embraced folk music as an integral source for their music. This was in stark contrast to the second Viennese school composers like Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and post World War II composers like Stockhausen, Boulez, and others who deliberately turned their backs on folk music. One composer who straddled both worlds during their lifetime was the Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski, a brilliant composer whose career started out in the folk music realm, though not entirely by choice, and ended up in music of aleatory, a kind of controlled chaos! One of his first major works, the Concerto for Orchestra is the topic for today's show, and it is heavily influenced by folk music from start to finish. It is a piece also inspired and might even be a bit of an homage to the great Bela Bartok and his own Concerto for Orchestra, which was written just ten years earlier. Lutoslawski, if you're not familiar with him, is one of those composers that once you learn about him, you can't get enough of him. I'll take you through this brilliant and utterly unique piece today from start to finish. Join us!

Dieser Tage spielt Kirill Gerstein in Wien Bartóks Drittes Klavierkonzert, das letzte vollende Werk des ungarischen Komponisten, 1944 im amerikanischen Exil geschaffen. Da zählte Bartók bereits zu den „Klassikern der Moderne“. Begonnen hat er stilecht mit einer Rhapsodie im Gefolge von Franz Liszt, dann war er radikaler Avantgardist und zwischendurch auch Volksmusikforscher – und in jeder Phase hat er ein Klavierkonzert komponiert: Wilhelm Sinkovicz unternimmt im Musiksalon diesmal eine akustische Bartók-Zeitreise.

JJ and Matt are joined by Victor Rice and Kristoph Toth to discuss their new project, Heritage: On Bartok's Path, which combines ska with traditional Hungarian folk songs. A true ska visionary, Rice conceived of the new genre-mixing album years ago, and enlisted Toth's band, the Pannonia Allstar Ska Orchestra to make it a reality. We talk Scofflaws! We talk about Samba Rocksteady! And of course, we talk Bela Bartok!
SynopsisToday's date in 1931 marks the birthday of the first notable Native American composer of concert music. His name was Louis Ballard, and he was born in Devil's Promenade in Oklahoma. His father was Cherokee, and his mother Quapaw. As a young boy Ballard attended – but managed not to be irreparably damaged by – one of those notorious boarding schools where Native American students were taught to forget everything about their own language and culture. Ballard somehow remained rooted in Quapaw language and traditions at the same time his interest in European classical music developed, and in 1962 became first American Indian to receive a graduate degree in music composition.Inspired by the example of Bela Bartok, who incorporated the folk music of Eastern Europe in his works, Ballard attempted to do the same with Native American source material in concert works both large and small. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1971 and in 1974 his orchestral piece Incident at Wounded Knee was performed at Carnegie Hall and taken on an Eastern European tour by Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, who had commissioned the work.This Louis Ballard chamber piece for two winds and piano is entitled “Mid-Winter Fires.”Music Played in Today's ProgramLouis Ballard (1931-2007): Mid-Winter Fires (Amy Morris, f; Mark Serrup, ob; Mary Goetz, p.)

Béla Bartók verabschiedet sich mit seinem frühen Violinkonzert gleich doppelt: von seiner Geliebten Stefi Geyer, die nichts mehr von ihm wissen will - und von der Spätromantik. In dem 1908 vollendeten Werk kündigt sich ein radikaler stilistischer Wandel an. Von Michael Lohse.
Synopsis Any composer who sets out to write a violin concerto knows that his or her new work will be measured against the famous concertos of the past. But in the fall of 1936, when the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok decided to write a violin concerto, he asked his publisher to send him some recent work of his contemporaries. After seeing what Karol Szymanowski, Kurt Weill, and Alban Berg had accomplished in the form, Bartok set to work, with much input from his violinist friend, Zoltan Szekely, for whom the new concerto was being written. Bartok was in America when Szekely premiered his Concerto with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Willem Mengelberg. It was only in America, some years later, in 1943, that Bartok first heard his Concerto at a New York Philharmonic concert. He wrote, "I was most happy that there is nothing WRONG with the scoring. Nothing needs to be changed, even though orchestral accompaniment of the violin is a very delicate business." If Bartok was happy with the scoring, he wasn't very pleased with one New York music critic, who wrote that he didn't think the new work would ever displace the great violin concertos of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, or Brahms. "How is it possible to write such an idiotic thing," commented Bartok. "What fool fit for a madhouse would want to displace these works with his own?"

Tom Service intrepidly explores Bluebeard's Castle - the one-act Symbolist opera by Hungarian composer Bela Bartok first performed in 1918 which features just two characters: Duke Bluebeard and his fourth wife Judith. Newly married, he brings her home to his murky castle for the very first time, where she finds a torture chamber, armoury, treasury, garden, and lake of tears. And unfortunately for Judith, it's not long before she discovers just what happened to those first three wives... With Harvard Professor of Folklore and Mythology Maria Tatar. Producer: Ruth Thomson

Synopsis In January of 1939, the famous jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman was playing each night at New York's Paramount Theater. On today's date that year he also appeared on the stage of Carnegie Hall. The occasion was the American premiere of a new chamber trio by the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok, commissioned by Goodman at the suggestion of Bartok's compatriot, violinist Joseph Sizgeti. The work was billed as a two-movement “Rhapsody” for clarinet, violin and piano. Now, in 1939 Goodman was at the peak of his popularity with the swing-crazed youth of America, and the New York Times music critic felt the need to write: “There is no indication that Bartok wrote the clarinet part for Benny's clarinet, so jitterbugs reading this review have been simply wasting their time. The work is as Hungarian as goulash, and Mr. Goodman was artist enough to restrain himself from any insinuation of swing. Indeed, considering that he had probably left the stage of the Paramount Theatre some minutes before he appeared on that of Carnegie Hall, the purity of his style and the bright neatness of his technique were particularly admirable.” The following year, Goodman and Szigeti recorded the trio with Bartok himself at the piano. For that occasion, Bartok added a third movement, and the resulting work was re-titled Contrasts.

Reimagining an opera is a delicate balance. Discovering a new perspective while honoring the spirit of the original work requires a special level of care and artistry. So how does one reimagine an opera like Bela Bartok's haunting Bluebeard's Castle, a work straight from the realms of Gothic horror, for a new audience? Director Daisy Evans and conductor Stephen Higgins come to the mic for this episode of BlinkOpera to talk about their inspiration and process of rediscovering this chamber opera as an exploration of a very familiar experience - traveling a path of a life with dementia. Welcome to Season 3 of The Atlanta Opera Podcast's BlinkOpera, the series built to give you an introduction to operas told from the artists who actually perform them and know them intimately. So, let's listen to the highlights, unpack the plot, and hear about performance anecdotes in a time-efficient and fun way! Recording: Bartok: Bluebeard's Castle; London Sinfonietta; Stephen Higgins
Johan Julius Christian Sibelius, compositor finlandês, morre em 20 de setembro de 1957 devido a uma hemorragia cerebral. Considerado excepcional artista na Finlândia, desempenhou papel determinante entre finais do século XIX e princípios do século XX na criação de um estilo musical próprio. Sobre o valor de sua obra, há posições controversas: enquanto o crítico e filósofo alemão Theodor Adorno o considera amador e antiquado, o compositor húngaro Bela Bartok o situa entre os grandes de seu tempo.Veja a matéria completa: https://operamundi.uol.com.br/hoje-na-historia/31324/hoje-na-historia-1957-morre-o-compositor-finlandes-johan-sibelius#:~:text=Johan%20Julius%20Christian%20Sibelius%2C%20compositor,de%20um%20estilo%20musical%20pr%C3%B3prio.----Quer contribuir com Opera Mundi via PIX?

This week, I ask you to join me in learning the life and legacy of one of music history's most beloved, but just as misunderstood composers, Edvard Grieg. This special episode is essentially my thesis condensed into a 30 minute podcast episode, and will cover Grieg's upbringing, education, personal life, his place as Scandinavia's most significant musicians, and the mark he left on Parisian culture during the Belle Epoque as one of its most popular composers. In the process, we will better understand how Grieg left a remarkable and personal influence on the generations after him, from Maurice Ravel, to Bela Bartok, to Duke Ellington, to John Cage, and many in between. It is my hope that you come away from this episode with a newfound appreciation of Edvard Grieg's music, life, and legacy.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/theamericanskald)
Vier Musiker am Rande des Nervenzusammenbruchs, irrwitzige Tempi und vertrackte Rhythmen zwischen Jazz, Balkan und höherer Mathematik - mit seiner Sonate für zwei Klaviere und Schlagzeug betritt Bela Bartok 1937 kammermusikalisches Neuland! (Autor: Ben Süverkrüp) Von Ben Süverkrüp.
Episode 5 is with Jose Nugent, a fiddle player from East Clare who lives and breathes inclusivity in her musical practice. Josie was inspiring to talk to about how she has made it her life mission to use her musical abilities for the power of good. We talk about her passion for teaching music to young people with learning difficulties, therapeutic work with autistic children and older adults with dementia, as well as her cross-community work in the North. She also has a thriving solo practice as a fiddle player and is hugely influenced by the modal structures of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok. We hear a sample of a a jig 'A Cambridge Cycle' from Josies solo album 'Modal Citizen' which you can find at www.josiebrianmusic.info.
Just as Bela Bartok gave a voice to the folk music of Hungary in the 20th century, Alberto Ginastera did the same for the music of Argentina. Many call Ginastera one of the most important South American composers of the past century.
