Today we hear from a CMPI fellow and student at Midwest Conservatory in Schaumburg. Lily plays Brahms, Bach and Wieniawski; plus the Fantasy No. 1 of Japanese composer Ikuma Dan. The post Lily Yoshihara, 18, violin appeared first on WFMT.
Andrés Amorós dedica un cuarto programa a este pianista ruso muy respetuoso con la labor de los compositores. Andrés Amorós dedica este programa a las interpretaciones que Sviatoslav Richter realizó de Brahms y Debussy. Se subraya la filosofía del pianista ruso, que se consideraba a sí mismo un mero ejecutor al servicio de la obra, mostrando un respeto absoluto por la partitura y el compositor, por encima de cualquier lucimiento personal. Esta actitud le diferencia de otros virtuosos y define su enfoque artístico. En su acercamiento a Johannes Brahms, Richter exhibía una afinidad particular, prefiriéndolo incluso a Schumann. Su interpretación del Scherzo del Concierto para piano nº 2 es un ejemplo de su fuerza controlada y su renuncia al sentimentalismo. Richter aborda a Brahms con la potencia y la hondura requeridas, pero siempre manteniendo una sobriedad y una fidelidad extremas al texto musical. La selección de Claude Debussy demuestra la enorme versatilidad del pianista. Richter era capaz de adaptarse a estilos muy diferentes, recreando las atmósferas y el color del impresionismo francés. Se escuchan fragmentos de Cloches à travers les feuilles y L'Isle Joyeuse, piezas en las que el pianista logra evocar el misterio y la alegría jubilosa con una claridad y una técnica prodigiosas, sin perder la esencia etérea de la música. Finalmente, se destaca la figura de Richter como un artista único y enigmático, alejado de los circuitos comerciales y de la autopromoción. Su dedicación a la música por encima de todo queda reflejada en anécdotas como la creación de su propio festival en un granero en Francia, buscando la acústica y el ambiente perfectos. Se le recuerda como un intérprete puro más que como una estrella del piano.
There's a moment in Mel Brooks' “History of the World Part 1” where we're told that shortly after the first artists came the first art critics…..I'll leave you to determine what happens…. The music world is certainly not short of people with opinions in regards to others' ability to perform and provide nuance to the work they present for us as music lovers to listen to. In the classical world, interpretation of the canon of baroque, classical, romantic and modernist music can be a mystery to some of us who are not classically trained musicians. There's no shortage of classical soloists who've captured the wider public's imagination, yet have their critics as well. Welcome to episode 128 of See Hear Podcast. Glenn Gould is regarded as one of the great pianists of the 20th century, known in particular for his love of and heavy focus on the composition of J.S. Bach. However, he wasn't unanimously revered. Pianist Alfred Brendel was vocally not a fan. Even Leonard Bernstein who did love Gould's approach covered himself before a TV broadcast of a Brahms piano concerto by saying Gould's approach was not going to be for everybody. Therein lies the heart of the matter – when you depart from an accepted orthodox style of playing of the canon, you're going to upset people. Glenn Gould upset some people. BUT….the reason he is still being talked about was for what he DID, not what he didn't do. He's most famous for his first and last released recordings, Bach's Goldberg Variations (1955 and 1981). Even there his recordings are wildly different, and the latter upset some who championed the earlier recording. He's also remembered for his intellect and could discuss may other issues outside of music – something he did on radio and TV specials. In 1993, film director Francois Girard released a brilliant biopic / documentary called “Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould”. Like its subject, the film takes a wildly different approach from the accepted norm of musician biopic. As the name implies, the film comprises of 32 shorts featuring narratives, interviews, performance and experimentation that provide a strong sense of Gould's character. There is a 3 act structure, but not in the usual way that you get in a conventional musician biography. June 2025 sees the reissue of the film by Criterion, and I was thrilled to welcome Francois to the podcast to talk about this film and Gould in general. Unfortunately, we couldn't coordinate the timing to have Tim or Kerry available, but I still had a fascinating conversation with Francois that I hope you find illuminating.

Dans la prestigieuse salle du Musikverein, à Vienne, en Autriche, temple de la musique classique connu des mélomanes du monde entier, se déroulent des concerts pas comme les autres. Des concerts Souvenir qui s'adressent aux personnes atteintes de démence. Le but est de réveiller leur mémoire, à travers la musique et ses émotions. Cet après-midi, la magnifique salle Brahms du Musikverein de Vienne, en Autriche, accueille un concert un peu particulier, Souvenir, destiné aux personnes atteintes de démence et leurs accompagnants. Ils sont plusieurs dizaines à s'installer lorsqu'un trio de jeunes musiciens commence à jouer un programme spécialement conçu pour eux. Mélange de classiques et de variétés du 20e siècle. Une animatrice introduit chaque morceau et encourage même les spectateurs à chanter. On voit des mains en attraper d'autres, des têtes qui se posent sur l'épaule du voisin. C'est le but de ces concerts : réveiller les émotions et la mémoire des spectateurs. Pari réussi pour Elfriede, 84 ans, qui a quitté sa maison de retraite avec son accompagnant Walter. « J'ai toujours aimé me rendre à des concerts et celui-ci était beau, magnifique. J'ai aimé toutes les chansons. C'est toujours un plaisir et quelque chose de spécial au Musikverein. Je crois que je pourrais y aller tous les jours », confie-t-elle. « Par la musique, on peut toucher les personnes atteintes de démence au niveau émotionnel. Ces concerts permettent de bien travailler sur leur mémoire, car après, on en reparle. On leur demande de quoi ils se souviennent. Alors, on chante à nouveau ensemble certains morceaux du programme », abonde son accompagnant. Organisés depuis 2022, ces concerts sont bien fréquentés et pas uniquement par des personnes atteintes de démence. Peter, par exemple, accompagne son fils autiste, Alex. « Mon fils écoute des concerts sur YouTube toute la journée. C'est ce qui le calme. Certains autistes ne peuvent pas supporter quand il y a trop de bruit ou trop de personnes dans une salle. C'est pourquoi les gros concerts sont difficiles. Les personnes ayant des besoins particuliers ne sont malheureusement toujours pas intégrés correctement dans la société. Mais ici, on rencontre d'autres familles avec des enfants handicapés et de nombreuses amitiés se sont déjà nouées », témoigne-t-il. Pour les musiciens aussi, cette expérience est remplie d'émotions, comme l'explique le pianiste Shimon Krizek et la violoniste Susanna Budzinski, tous deux polonais : « Je me souviens que lors d'un concert au cours duquel j'ai joué une aria. Un spectateur, probablement un ancien chanteur, a tenu la dernière note aussi longtemps que cela est possible. J'ai donc dû moi-même tenir cette dernière note. Parfois, j'ai l'impression que je vais me mettre à pleurer. C'est vraiment fantastique », explique, ému, le pianiste. « Habituellement, le public reste assis à apprécier la musique, mais ici, certains se mettent à chanter ou à danser. Ils nous envoient une grande énergie. C'est une expérience très enrichissante, non seulement pour les artistes, mais aussi pour le public, car il est scientifiquement prouvé que la musique aide les personnes atteintes de démence », abonde la violoniste. En Autriche, environ 170 000 personnes sont actuellement atteintes de démence. À lire aussi«Expériences vibratoires»: un cycle d'ateliers pour initier les personnes sourdes à la musique

Johannes Brahms lässt sich Zeit mit seinem Violinkonzert. Vielleicht, weil er sich mit der Geige als Soloinstrument nur bedingt auskennt. 1878 macht er sich endlich an die Arbeit – und das Ergebnis gefällt nicht jedem Geiger ... Von Christoph Vratz.
In the words of The New Yorker, Charles Neidich “is an artist of uncommon merit -- a master of his instrument and, beyond that, an interpreter who keeps listeners hanging on each phrase.” Charles is the artistic director of the Wa Concert Series at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York, which he founded with his wife, clarinetist Ayako Oshima, in September 2017. This concert series is inspired by the Japanese concept “wa”— meaning circle, but also harmony and completeness; each performance is thus paired with visual arts and offers a variety of culinary delicacies prepared by Ayako Oshima. In recent seasons, Charles has added conducting to his musical accomplishments. He has led the Cobb Symphony Orchestra and Georgia Symphony in performances of the Franck Symphony in D Minor and Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (also playing the solo clarinet part). Charles commands a repertoire of over 200 solo works, including pieces commissioned or inspired by him, as well as his own transcriptions of vocal and instrumental works. With a growing discography to his credit, he can be heard on the Chandos, Sony Classical, Sony Vivarte, Deutsche Grammophon, Musicmasters, Pantheon, and Bridge labels. His recorded repertoire ranges from familiar works by Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, and Brahms, to lesser-known compositions by Danzi, Reicha, Rossini, and Hummel, as well as music by Elliott Carter, Gyorgy Kurtag, and other contemporary masters. Although Charles became quite active in music at an early age, he opted against attending a music conservatory in favor of academic studies at Yale University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in Anthropology. In 1975 he became the first American to receive a Fulbright grant for study in the former Soviet Union, and he attended the Moscow Conservatory for three years where his teachers were Boris Dikov and Kirill Vinogradov. Charles Neidich has achieved recognition as a teacher in addition to his activities as a performer, and currently is a member of the artist faculties of The Juilliard School, the Manhattan School of Music, the Mannes College of Music. During the 1994-95 academic year he was a Visiting Professor at the Sibelius Academy in Finland where he taught, performed and conducted. Mr. Neidich is a long-time member of the renowned chamber ensemble Orpheus.
John Eliot Gardiner legt sein erstes Album nach seiner Auszeit vor: die vier Brahms-Symphonien mit dem Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam.In keinem Takt klingt Gardiners Brahms bürgerlich behäbig oder selbstzufrieden. Immer wieder treibt er die Musik unerbittlich nach vorn. Dann ist alles Puls und Drama. Wer Brahms liebt, sollte das hören.

When classical music plays in a baby's nursery, does it really make a difference? For Moises Llanes, those early moments with Beethoven and Brahms symphonies resonating through his crib shaped a lifelong passion that would transform orchestral education in the Rio Grande Valley.This captivating conversation reveals how a businessman father with an eighth-grade education made a pivotal decision to expose his children to classical music and piano lessons, creating the foundation for Moises's remarkable 37-year teaching career. "I just feel at home listening and playing classical music," Llanes shares, reflecting on those formative experiences that gave him both purpose and direction from an astonishingly young age.Llanes takes us through his journey from student violinist to celebrated educator, highlighting a watershed moment when, as a high school student, he recognized a critical gap in orchestral education - the lack of music literacy. This insight became the cornerstone of his teaching philosophy, creating generations of independent musicians who could truly understand music rather than merely memorize finger positions. "You don't have to figure it out, you just have to read it," became his mantra, empowering students to explore music confidently on their own.The conversation delves into Llanes's collegiate years, cultural identity challenges, and the resilience that carried him through financial hardships when his father's business collapsed. Despite briefly retiring in 2022, his passion for music education drew him back to the classroom at Lorenzo de Zavala Middle School, where he continues making an impact. His parting wisdom for aspiring educators resonates powerfully: "If you're not going to do it 110%, especially teaching, don't do it at all."Subscribe now to hear more inspiring stories from the musical community of the Rio Grande Valley, where passion, perseverance, and cultural heritage create a unique symphony of experiences.

Kaum ein Sänger-Pianisten-Duo wird so hochgeschätzt wie Christian Gerhaher und Gerold Huber. Nach einem intensiven Schumann-Projekt haben sie sich jetzt den Liedern von Johannes Brahms gewidmet, und speziell dem "Volkston" bei Brahms, der Zeit seines Lebens ein großer Sammler von Volksliedern war. Doch gerade auf diesen - bei Brahms auch immer sehr ungewöhnlichen Volkston - finden Gerhaher und Huber einen beinahe gesellschaftspolitischen Blick.
Ein Album von Christian Gerhaher - vorgestellt auf NDR Kultur.

In this week's episode, Editor Martin Cullingford met with the founder and Music Director of Bach Collegium Japan Masaaki Suzuki, along with the group's Principal Conductor Masato Suzuki, to talk about their new recording of Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem, available now on BIS – as well as discussing Bach's St John Passion, which they had performed the day prior to the interview. The interview took place last year in, appropriately enough, London's Japan House.
It's entirely possible that we would not know the name of Johannes Brahms very well if Brahms hadn't met Joseph Joachim as a very young man. Joachim, who was one of the greatest violinists of all time, had already established himself as touring soloist and recitalist, and he happened to know the musical power couple of Robert and Clara Schumann quite well. Joachim encouraged Brahms to go to Dusseldorf to meet the Schumann's, and the rest is history. I've talked about the Brahms-Schumann relationship dozens of times on the show before, but to keep it very brief, Robert Schumann's rhapsodic article Neue Bahnen(new paths) launched Brahms' career, and until Schumann's deterioration from mental illness he acted as a valued friend and mentor for Brahms. Clara Schumann, as a performer, was a powerful advocate for Brahms' music as well as a devoted and loving friend throughout the rest of their lives. Almost constantly present in this relationship was the sound of Joseph Joachim's violin. Brahms did not have a huge circle of friends, but for the often difficult to get along with composer, Joachim was a musical and spiritual companion. Brahms' legendary violin concerto was written for him, and the two collaborated closely for the entire course of their musical lives, except for one significant break. Brahms and Joachim were estranged for 7 years, until Brahms reached out with a remarkable conciliatory gesture: a concerto for Violin and Cello and that would be dedicated to Joachim. Brahms and Joachim(as well as Brahms and Clara Schumann) had often resolved disputes through music, and this was no exception. Clara Schumann gleefully wrote in her diary after Joachim had read through the piece with cellist Robert Hausmann: "This concerto is a work of reconciliation - Joachim and Brahms have spoken to each other again for the first time in years.” One would expect that a work like this would be beloved, but the Double Concerto has had a checkered history, which we'll also get into later. Clara herself wrote that it lacked "the warmth and freshness which are so often found to be in his works,” It would turn out to be Brahms' last work for orchestra, and one of the few in his later style, which makes It fascinating to look at from a compositional perspective. Partly because of the cool reception it got in its first few performances, and the practical challenges of finding two spectacular soloists who can meet its challenges, the piece is not performed all that often, though I have always adored this piece and am very grateful to Avi who sponsored this week's show from my fundraiser last year before the US election. So let's dive into this gorgeous concerto, discussing the reasons for Joachim and Brahms' break, their reconciliation, the reception this piece got, and then of course, the music itself! Join us!

One can't miss the S.K. Pierce Mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts. This magnificent mansion is a huge Victorian that takes up the whole corner of West Broadway and Union Street. The grand exterior makes it very inviting, but the ghost stories connected to this place might just make you think twice before entering. There are those that claim this home is the second most haunted house in Massachusetts. Some owners have been chased out by spirits. There could be more than a dozen spirits here and one of them may be the furniture magnate for whom the house was built and named: S.K. Pierce. Join us for the history and hauntings of the S.K. Pierce Mansion. The Moment in Oddity features the Bone Collector Caterpillar and This Month in History features Brahms born.

CSO Artist-in-Residence Daniil Trifonov, “without question the most astounding pianist of our age” (The Times of London), takes on Brahms' Second Piano Concerto, as remarkable for its rich orchestral writing as for its simultaneously glittering and muscular piano part. Dvořák's turbulent Seventh Symphony is both an expression of the composer's personal crises and a lyrical tribute to the Czech spirit.

And now I worry, as old people do, about the kids I see who are growing up in the dreadful clutter of American life, the gizmos and social media bullying, and can they find delight as I did in skating on the frozen Mississippi and discovering Liebling and Jenny found listening to Prokofiev and Brahms. I pray for our kids to be lighthearted. The darkness is out there, and Christmas becomes utterly beautiful, the circle of love and friendship, the lighted candles, the anticipation of the child, the radiant beams, the redeeming grace.

On the latest episode of ‘New Classical Tracks,' countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen and pianist John Churchwell present music by Korngold, Brahms, and Clara and Robert Schumann, as heard on their most recent recording. Listen now with host Julie Amacher!
After I post a Countermelody episode on a cherished singer, my relationship with these artists continues: one of those manifestataions is that I never stop seeking out rare and unusual recordings featuring those singers. This results in a grab-bag of fascinating and often obscure material that is simply too good not to share with my listeners. Today I present you with the second episode of such genre, which I have collectively dubbed “Rescue Mission.” On this episode I feature singers you've heard on the podcast over the course of the past several weeks and months, including, among many others, Janet Baker, Oralia Domínguez, Eugene Holmes, Ellabelle Davis, Gilda Cruz-Romo, Benjamin Luxon, Mara Coleva, Hugo Hasslo, Margaret Marshall, Gloria Davy, and Mady Mesplé, performing work by Handel, Verdi, Weill, Bach, Brahms, Boito, and Mozart. The episode concludes with Eleanor Steber (because, as I affirmed laast week, you can never have enough of her), in a 1949 performance of “Ah, Perfido!” that will have you picking your dislocated jaw up off the floor. Also expect shout-outs to friends of the podcast, old and new, as well as a certain amount of political snippiness! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.
