Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl Nielsen

In deze week van Kalm met Klassiek werken we toe naar Moederdag, aanstaande zondag 11 mei. In alle muziek die langskomt staat het moederschap centraal. De aflevering van vandaag is daarin een bijzondere, want aan presentator Ab Nieuwdorp was het de taak om het weekthema 'Moeders' te combineren met het thema van vandaag: Bevrijdingsdag! En het is hem nog gelukt ook. Hij legt je uit wat de link is, maar hij begeleid je vooral naar ontspannende muziek. Het gaat om twee kortere delen uit 'De moeder' van de Deense componist Carl Nielsen. Wil je meer Kalm met Klassiek?

Donald Macleod explores Danish composer, Carl Nielsen, through his temperaments Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) is probably the most eminent Danish composer. Known mainly for his talent as a symphonist and for his incidental music for 'Aladdin', he also pushed the boundaries of Romantic music, whether in his work on the voice or his exploration of dissonance. Born in the fairy tale-looking island of Fyn, his music is indeed full of characters: Nielsen was fascinated by the multiplicity of human emotions and personalities. To the extent that they frequently were the source of his musical creativity. After all, he was himself a passionate character, something that transpires in his very scores, in which the composer often hides behind the music. This week, inspired by his second and fourth symphonies, Donald Macleod invites you to discover Carl Nielsen's story through the prism of five different aspects of his temperament.Music Featured: Saul og David (Prelude to Act II) Symphony No 2, Op 16, FS29 ‘The Four Temperaments' Fynsk Forar, Op 42 (excerpt) Polka in A major, FS1 Little Suite for strings in A minor, Op 1 (3rd mvt) Aladdin Suite, Op 34 (excerpt) Søvnen, Op 18 String Quartet in D Minor, FS 3d (3rd mvt) Saga-Drøm, Op 39, FS 46 Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, FS 119 (1st mvt) The Heavens darken, vast and silent, FS 106 Dream about ‘Silent Night', FS 34 Farewell, my respectable native town!

Den unga döden skapar teologiska problem, samtidigt dras vi till korta konstnärliga liv. Michael Azar funderar över livets och dödens längd. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vi vet inte, säger kyrkofader Augustinus, varför goda människor så ofta rycks bort av en förtidig död, medan de som inte alls borde ha fått födas tvärtom får leva ett långt och behagligt liv.Nej, konstaterar han. Vi människor kan aldrig riktigt förstå varför så är fallet. För Gud däremot finns det en mening bakom allt – också med det som för människorna framstår som grymt och orättvist. Utifrån den evige och allvetande gudens blickpunkt finns det nämligen ingenting sådant som en nyckfull död. Ingen träder in i dödsriket utan att Han vet om det. Det tycks rentav följa ur Guds själva väsen att han inte bara har förutsett, utan också förutbestämt hur och när var och en av oss ska lämna jordelivet.För Augustinus finns det uppenbarligen någonting trösterikt i tanken att döden inte slår blint, utan lyder som ett viljelöst redskap under den Evige Faderns nådiga plan. Ändå kan kyrkofadern inte undvika att – här och var – uttrycka sin oro över alla de svårigheter som en sådan gudsbild ger upphov till. Om Gud verkligen är allsmäktig och allvetande framträder ju människan som inte mer än en simpel marionett, utan fri vilja och förmåga att bestämma över sitt liv, sin död och sitt postuma öde.Så här skulle den engelske 1600-tals poeten John Milton säga om en sådan slutsats: ”Må jag hamna i helvetet för det, men en sådan Gud kan aldrig vinna min aktning”.Den som inkallar Gud som ett värn mot döden hamnar förr eller senare i frågan om hur vi istället ska skydda oss mot den makt som håller döden i sin hand. Man kan förvisso undra vad det finns för poäng med att tro på en Gud som låter till synes oskyldiga spädbarn gå bort i de mest plågsamma sjukdomar – medan skoningslösa tyranner får leva friska, tills de blir mätta på både dagar och nätter.Den inflytelserike muslimske tänkaren Abu al-Hasan al-Ashari – verksam i Irak några hundra år efter Augustinus – är inte lika pessimistisk vad gäller människans förmåga att förstå Guds avsikter. När Gud låter barn och ynglingar gå ur tiden, så är det i själva verket för att rädda dem från ett än värre öde.”Låt oss föreställa oss”, säger han, ”ett barn och en vuxen som båda dog i den sanna tron – men att den vuxne fått en högre plats i himlen än barnet.Barnet kommer därför att fråga Gud: 'Varför gav du den mannen en högre plats?' 'Han har gjort många goda gärningar', kommer Gud att svara.Och då kommer barnet att upprört invända: 'Men varför lät du mig dö så tidigt att jag hindrades från att göra gott?'På vilket Gud i sin tur kommer att svara: 'Jag visste att du skulle växa upp till en syndare; det var därför bättre att du dog redan som barn.'” Det är inte så att man direkt avundas Guds arbetsbörda. Tänk att behöva räkna ut det moraliska värdet av alla människors ännu inte genomförda synder – och sedan med alla upptänkliga medel, inklusive barmhärtighetsmord, försöka säkerställa att dessa synder inte ytterligare belastar våra skuldkonton.Abu al-Hasan al-Asharis resonemang för tankarna till en rad berömda exempel från västerlandets kulturhistoria. Jag tänker till exempel på kung Oidipus som uttryckligen förbannar den fåraherde som räddade Oidipus från döden när han var ett spädbarn. Om han hade låtit mig dö, klagar Oidipus, hade jag ju sluppit det fruktansvärda öde som väntade mig i livet.Men vad för slags tröst – om man nu inte nöjer sig med de himmelska makternas – kan vi annars uppbåda när vi står inför dem som ryckts ifrån oss i blomman av sin ålder?Jag tänker kanske särskilt på dem som vi idag betraktar som mänsklighetens befrämjare på grund av de djupa avtryck de satt i de sköna konsternas historia. En Masaccio, en Caravaggio, en Mozart, en Edith Södergran eller en Charlie Parker.Sorgen över deras alltför tidiga bortgång handlar inte bara om att de aldrig fick möjligheten att skapa allt det som de fortfarande bar inom sig när döden stal deras lyra från dem. Utan också om att många av dem tvingades lämna världen med känslan att deras namn var skrivna i vatten, ovetande som de ofta var om den enastående betydelse de skulle komma att få för eftervärlden.Somliga finner viss tröst i ett estetiskt perspektiv på dödens verk. Som när den danske tonsättaren Carl Nielsen skriver att Mozart ”måste dö tidigt, för att bilden av honom skulle kunna fullkomnas”. I en sådan vision är det just det intensivt levda och hastigt utbrända livet som möjliggör den förevigade skönheten. I samma anda har många säkert svårt att tänka sig Alexander den store, Arthur Rimbaud, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Che Guevara eller Bob Marley som gamla, modfällda och kraftlösa.Likt Akilles måste de möta den svarta gudinnan just när de befinner sig på höjden av sin skaparkraft.Eller tänk bara på den förkroppsligade – och mycket unga gudom – som Augustinus ständigt sjunger lovsånger till. Hur skulle vi ha förhållit oss till Jesus om han i stället hade dött på korset i samma höga ålder som den Job som lämnade jordelivet som 140-åring?En variation på samma tema finner vi i föreställningen om det så kallade romantiska geniet. Här antas den förmodade genialiteten just vara intimt förbunden med den snabbt framskridande liemannens gärningar. Varken Novalis, Schubert, Lord Byron, Keats, Shelley, Chopin, Stagnelius eller systrarna Brontë hann fylla fyrtio innan ödesgudinnorna klippte av deras livstrådar. Genikulten tillåter oss kanske att för ett ögonblick glömma deras dödsvåndor. Genikulten tillåter oss för ett ögonblick att glömma deras dödsvåndor. Livet må vara kort, men bara på villkor att konsten är lång – eller som det ibland heter: evig.”Den som gudarna älskar dör ung”, säger Lord Byron mot al-Ashari.Kanske är detta rentav en ganska vanlig fantasi bland unga musiker, skalder och konstnärer. Det sägs till exempel att Kurt Cobain redan i barndomen såg framför sig att han en dag skulle bli medlem i den så kallade ”Club 27” – det vill säga, att han skulle dö i samma unga ålder som till exempel Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix och Janis Joplin.Det var tragiskt nog en föraning som kom att besannas.Så stark är den estetiska myten om den ungdomliga dödens skönhet, att den en dag också lyckades infiltrera mitt eget medvetande. För det var med all säkerhet den som låg bakom min förvåning när jag en dag vaknade och insåg att jag fortfarande var vid liv, trots att jag hade hunnit fylla hela fyrtio år. Mitt i glädjen över att ha fått leva så länge, kunde jag faktiskt ana en obehaglig strimma av narcissistisk missräkning.Det var som om min nyvunna ålder förvandlats till ett hånfullt tecken på att jag hade gått miste om chansen att höra till de unga dödas utvalda skara – som om jag hade låtit livet segra till priset av förlorad odödlighet.Michael Azaridéhistoriker och författareMusikMy my hey hey (akustisk) samt Hey hey my my av Neil Young med Crazy Horse, från ”Rust never sleeps”, 1979.

How can we engage children with classical music in the museum environment? Today, I'm talking to Cecilie Skøtt about how to engage students with the music of Carl Nielsen through a blend of philosophical questioning and the art of slow listening. Cecilie Skøtt is a mediation designer at Hans Christian Andersen's House and the Carl Nielsen Museum in Denmark. Cecilie plays a key role in crafting and delivering school programmes for both museums, as well as interacting with visitors of all ages on weekends and holidays. With a passion for literature and dialogical teaching in the arts, Cecilie focuses on easing classroom-related anxiety and uses her expertise to create memorable museum experiences for children and familiesToday we're chatting about how the Carl Nielsen museum engages students in classical music. At the museum, they've been teaching from an Open Questioning Mindset (OQM) and using Philosophical Dialogue for a few years now. OQM is both a teaching method and a mindset developed by Peter Worley to engage students in different topics, concepts, and stories. The method offers different tools and techniques for asking open and engaging questions, and to quickly create an environment where children feel safe and comfortable speaking their minds. Slow listening is a natural extension to the philosophical questioning environment and allows children to deeply connect with Nielsen's music . In two new programmes developed for schools the Carl Nielsen Museum combines all three to engage students with classical music.Listen to discover more about the Carl Nielsen Museum, philosophical questioning techniques and slow listening.

De Deense componist Rued Langgaard kon moeiteloos voortbouwen op de verworvenheden van met name Carl Nielsen. Tegelijkertijd moet de muziek van Nielsen hem in de weg hebben gezeten, want Langgaard koos een zo eigen weg dat hij in zijn vaderland nauwelijks begrepen werd. En merkwaardigerwijs niet omdat hij te modern was, maar te eigengereid. De […]

SynopsisThe adjective most commentators turn to when describing the six symphonies of Carl Nielsen is “quirky.” Certainly, the great Danish composer had a wicked sense of humor and loved poking fun at anything pompous and pretentious — including the conventions of writing a symphony. Just when the audience members think they know what is going to happen next — or should, in a conventional symphony — Nielsen delighted in throwing them a curveball. For example, as any seasoned concertgoer knows, in most cases when the strings start playing what sounds like a fugue theme, you have a reasonable expectation that the end must be near. But in Nielsen's last symphony, his Sixth, titled Sinfonia semplice or A Simple Symphony, which premiered in Copenhagen on today's date in 1925, all sorts of crazy things happen in the last movement. And, since everyone knows the bassoon is supposed to be “the clown of the orchestra,” Nielsen's parting shot is to give that instrument the last word — deflating any lofty expectations of a grand Romantic symphonic finale with what most politely could be described as giving that idea the raspberries.Music Played in Today's ProgramCarl Nielsen (1865-1931) – Symphony No. 6 (Sinfonia Semplice); San Francisco Symphony; Herbert Blomstedt, cond.

๏ Épisode 74 ๏ En mai 1914, Carl Nielsen, compositeur danois, écrit à son épouse : « J'ai l'idée d'une nouvelle composition qui n'a pas de programme, mais qui devrait exprimer […] l'envie de vivre. J'ai seulement besoin d'un mot ou d'un titre court pour faire cela». Ce mot sera « Inextinguible », littéralement, ce qui ne peut pas s'éteindre. Max Dozolme nous guide dans cette symphonie dont l'énergie vitale sans fin nourrit une musique puissante, mais que les terribles secousses du premier conflit mondial semblent parfois bousculer. ▂

Wie wenn ein Kind mit Dynamit spielt: So charakterisierte ein Kritiker den Eindruck, den die Uraufführung der ersten Sinfonie von Carl Nielsen bei ihm hinterlassen hatte. Insgesamt sechs Sinfonien hat der dänische Komponist geschrieben, dies in einem Zeitraum von mehr als dreissig Jahren.  Jede dieser Sinfonien hat ihr individuelles Gesicht, was ihnen aber gemeinsam ist: Diese grosse Energie und auch eine eigenständige «Querständigkeit». Das Bild mit dem Dynamit hat etwas für sich. Nielsens dritte Sinfonie, komponiert in den Jahren 1910 und 1911, beginnt etwa mit einer effektvollen Orchester-«Explosion». Das mag an so etwas wie ein Urknall erinnern, zumindest aber ist es der Start für eine Entwicklung durch die Sinfonie hindurch, die einem Schöpfungsakt nachempfunden ist. «Sinfonia espansiva» nannte sie der Komponist, Nielsen breitet hier (s)eine Welt vor uns aus. Norbert Graf spricht über verschiedene Einspielungen mit der Musikwissenschaftlerin Doris Lanz und dem Musikwissenschaftler Felix Michel.

At the top of the score for the Danish composer Carl Nielsen's 4th symphony, he wrote: “Music is life, and like it, inextinguishable.” This could easily be the shortest podcast I've ever done. I could leave you with that quote and then play you the beginning of the symphony, and you would understand everything Nielsen wanted to portray in this remarkable music. But don't worry, I won't do that. Carl Nielsen's music has never quite made it into the standard standard repertoire, but if there is one piece of his that is played more often than any other, it is his 4th symphony, subtitled The Inextinguishable. But as a whole, Nielsen's 4th symphony is not easy to digest. It is a piece that is contradictory, in the sense that Nielsen uses an extremely small set of motives to write practically every note of music in the score, and yet sometimes the music can feel like a stream of consciousness. Nielsen himself wrote: “I have an idea for a new composition, which has no programme but will express what we understand by the spirit of life or manifestations of life, that is: everything that moves, that wants to live ... just life and motion, though varied – very varied – yet connected, and as if constantly on the move, in one big movement or stream. I must have a word or a short title to express this; that will be enough. I cannot quite explain what I want, but what I want is good.”  There is a James Joyce-esque sense of jump-cutting between different ideas, as if that inextinguishable life force is unaffected by earthly things like form and recognizable structure. But if you peek under the hood of this piece, you find that it is really in 4 movements, and the first movement is even in a kind of a Sonata Form. It has an intermezzo, a slow movement, and a rambunctious finale. In many ways, this is a conventional symphony, but in terms of the musical material and the way Nielsen decided to manipulate that material, it is anything but conventional. We'll talk about all of this today, including the influence of World War 1 on the symphony and on Nielsen himself, and the remarkable music that throws us along like a relentless and boundless current of energy.

Eine CD der Danish National Symphony Orchestra - vorgestellt auf NDR Kultur.

MusicaNova joins NPR's Martin Goldsmith as they bring his feature film Winter Journey to Scottsdale along with a live performance of Carl Nielsen's...

Carl Nielsen's symphonies, deeply rooted in Denmark's landscape and culture yet universal in their appeal, are among the greatest ever written. We're delighted to be partners in creating a new recorded cycle of these extraordinarily powerful works with an orchestra so closely associated with Nielsen and a conductor who is so open to fresh ideas and inspiration.Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

Synopsis On today's date in 1928, the Danish composer Carl Nielsen conducted the first public performance of his new Clarinet Concerto in Copenhagen. “The clarinet,” said Nielsen, “can, at one and the same time seem utterly hysterical, gentle as balsam, or as screechy as a streetcar on badly greased rails.” Nielsen set himself the task of covering that whole range of the instrument's conflicting emotions and colors. He wrote it for a Danish clarinetist he admired named Aage Oxenvad, who played both the public premiere on today's date and a private reading a few weeks earlier. After the private performance Oxenvad is supposed to have muttered: “Nielsen must be able to play the clarinet himself — otherwise he would hardly have been able to find all the instrument's WORST notes.” The concerto's wild mood-swings puzzled audiences in 1928, but today it's regarded as one of Nielsen's most original works. In October of 1996, another Clarinet Concerto received its premiere when American composer John Adams conducted the first performance of his work Gnarly Buttons with soloist Michael Collins. This concerto contains a bittersweet tribute to Adams' father, a clarinetist who fell victim to Alzheimer's disease. In Adams' concerto, the swing tunes slide into dementia, but the concerto ends with a kind of benediction.

"THE CHILDREN ARE PLAYING" is a tiny fairy-tale of a piece for solo flute written by Denmark's best-known composer Carl Nielsen in 1920 as incidental music for a play called "The Mother." The whimsical music is a tip of the cap to Hans Christian Andersen and sounds like kids on playground on a spring day--leaping and laughter and teasing and taunting with a mix of sun and clouds. Georg Philip Telemann, Fantaisie No. 12Claude Debussy, SyrinxCarl Nielsen, The Children are PlayingAll flute piece performed by  Karen Kevra Frank Loesser, I'm Hans Christian Andersen performed by Danny KayeArtwork: Sibylle von Olfers, Mother Earth and Her ChildrenSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=42335511)

I Odense diskuterer de, om unge russiske musiktalenter bør have lov til at deltage i en international Carl Nielsen-konkurrence. I teatret Mungo Park i Allerød i Nordsjælland har skuespil været afløst af debat på scenen. Mens den russiske fremrykning i Ukraine tilsyneladende er gået mere eller mindre i står, kan det samme ikke siges om den hjemlige debat om kulturboykot af Rusland - en debat, der har flyttet sig noget, siden kulturminister Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen for en lille måned siden beordrede fuldt stop for alt kultursamarbejde mellem Danmark og Rusland. Kulturen lægger mikrofon til synspunkterne. Værter: Karen Secher og Maja Nyvang Christensen.

The fascinating life and music of Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) is the topic of this week's show, and we are delighted to welcome back Andrew Mellor to the Presto Music Podcast to take us through his humble childhood on the island of Funen through to the international acclaim he received as one of the most modernistic symphonic composers of his generation. Andrew has established himself as something of a British cultural attaché to Scandinavia since moving to Copenhagen in 2015, and is well known for his contributions to BBC Radio 3's Record Review and Gramophone Magazine, and currently finishing his first book about Nordic identity in music.

This week, we start out with a rousing round of Who Dis? and then we move on to our three topics:ENO “BREATHE”https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/arts/music/opera-singers-covid-19-treatment-eno-breathe.htmlLISTENER FEEDBACK“5 MINUTES TO LOVE...” WITH ZACH WOOLFEhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/03/insider/five-minutes-love-classical-music.htmlCLASSICAL MIXTAPEThe full playlistZachLou Harrison, Suite for Violin with American Gamelan: V.
