In dieser Episode widme ich mich der Rezension von „Zweite Heimat – die Reise der Celeste“, einem Science-Fiction-Roman von Madeleine Puljic. Der Klappentext verspricht ein aufregendes Abenteuer, das sich um die ersten Kolonisten auf dem Mars dreht. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich, als das außerirdische Volk der E'Kturi beschließt, die Menschheit nicht länger aus der Ferne zu beobachten. Sie schicken ihr eigenes Schiff, um das Verhalten der Menschen aus nächster Nähe zu bewerten. Kapitän Lajunen, der Cellist, wird mit hundert Siedlern und sechs Besatzungsmitgliedern an Bord der Celeste zur ersten Mission zum Mars entsandt, mit dem Auftrag, eine positive Beurteilung der Menschen zu liefern, während er gleichzeitig versucht, die Herausforderungen des intergalaktischen Kontakts zu bewältigen. Ein zentrales Element des Buches ist die Beziehung zwischen Lajunen und seiner Frau Hannah. Ursprünglich geplant, um zusammen nach Mars zu fliegen, wird Hannah aus der Mission abgezogen, nur um später in Houston bei der NASA eine wichtige Rolle zu übernehmen. Ihre Verlegung und die Entwicklungen auf der Erde, geprägt von Unwettern und steigender Kriminalität, schaffen eine angespannte Atmosphäre, die die Leser durch die gesamte Geschichte führt. Die dynamische Beziehung zwischen den Protagonisten und die Konflikte, die durch die Mission und den Kontakt mit den E'Kturi entstehen, werden eindrucksvoll dargestellt und lassen die Leser in die Emotionen und inneren Kämpfe der Charaktere eintauchen. Während die Menschheit auf den Mars aufbricht, wird ein fremdes Raumschiff entdeckt, das ebenfalls eine Landung anstrebt. Diese Begegnung mit den E'Kturi, die nicht gerade menschlich aussehen, stellt einen Wendepunkt dar, der nicht nur das Schicksal der Kolonisten, sondern auch das der gesamten Menschheit in Frage stellt. Die Autorin nimmt sich die Freiheit, aufregende Spekulationen über die Werte und die existenziellen Fragen des Lebens im Universum aufzuwerfen. Die leicht verständliche Sprache und der tiefgründige emotionale Ausdruck machen das Buch zu einem fesselnden Leseerlebnis, das den Leser zum Nachdenken über die ethischen Herausforderungen anregt, die sowohl Menschen als auch E'Kturi konfrontieren. Das Zusammenspiel zwischen Menschen und Außerirdischen verstärkt die Spannung der Handlung, während die Figuren in einer Welt leben, in der Misstrauen und Angst vor dem Unbekannten herrschen. Mit jedem Kapitel wird die Angst vor den potenziellen Konflikten zwischen den Rassen spürbarer. Ich finde, dass Puljic diese konfliktbeladene Interaktion geschickt nutzt, um tiefere Fragen über das Menschsein und Werte zu thematisieren. Unabhängig davon, ob man sich auf eine weitere Geschichte im Universum von „Zweiter Heimat“ freut oder ob man diesen Roman als eigenständige Erzählung betrachtet. „Zweiter Heimat – die Reise der Celeste“ erschien 2020 beim Droemer-Knaur-Verlag und ist zwar nur noch in begrenzter Auflage erhältlich, sollte aber dennoch von jedem Science-Fiction-Fan gelesen werden. Das Buch ist nicht nur ein spannendes Abenteuer, sondern regt auch zu wichtigen Diskussionen über unsere Menschlichkeit an – Fragen, die nicht nur auf dem Mars, sondern hier auf der Erde von Bedeutung sind.

Today on the Kind Heartfulness Podcast, we're honored to welcome Barbara Bogatin — a world-class cellist and long-time practitioner of Buddhist meditation. A member of the San Francisco Symphony since 1994, Barbara's musical career has taken her from the stages of the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera to intimate chamber ensembles across the world. But Barbara's path is more than music. She's also a dedicated student of Buddhism, with over three decades of Vipassana practice and deep study of the Dharma. Her lifelong meditation practice deeply informs not just how she plays, but how she lives — and teaches. Together with her husband, neuroscientist Clifford Saron, she leads workshops like “The Buddha, the Brain, and Bach,” weaving together insights from Buddhist contemplative traditions, neuroscience, and the art of performance. In today's episode, Barbara reflects on how mindfulness and Dharma practice have shaped her as a musician, a teacher, and a human being — and how we can all bring more presence and compassion into our own lives.

Seit wenigen Jahren gedenkt das EU-Parlament jeweils mit einer speziellen Erinnerungsfeier der Opfer des Holocaust. Dieses Jahr mit einem besonderen «Gast»: Dem Cello des Holocaust-Opfers Pàl Hermann. Überall in Europa nimmt der Antisemitismus stark zu. Die Terrorangriffe der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 und die massive militärische Reaktion Israels im Gazastreifen haben diesen Trend verstärkt. Drei-Viertel der europäischen Jüdinnen und Juden verbergen darum zumindest gelegentlich ihre jüdische Identität. Der stete Kampf gegen Antisemitismus sei untrennbar mit dem aktiven Erinnern an den Holocaust verbunden, unterstrich bereits die erste Frau an der Spitze des Europäischen Parlaments, die Französin Simone Veil, selbst eine Holocaust-Überlebende. Im Zentrum der Erinnerungsfeier an den Holocaust im EU-Parlament standen 80 Jahre nach der Befreiung der Deportierten im Vernichtungslager in Auschwitz für einmal nicht Zeitzeuginnen, sondern ein Instrument: Das Cello des Holocaust-Opfers Pàl Hermann. Dieses Instrument, untrennbar verbunden mit dem jungen jüdischen Musiker und Komponisten, steht für die Unbesiegbarkeit der Musik. Pàl Hermann wurde von der Hitler-Diktatur umgebracht. Das Cello wurde gerettet, weil der Cellist eine Notiz aus dem Güterwagen werfen konnte, in dem er deportiert wurde. In dieser aussergewöhnlichen Geschichte hat ein Cello den Holocaust überlebt - und wird zum klingenden Stolperstein gegen das Vergessen.

Wenn zwei musikaffine Spanier ihren kleinen Sohn Pablo nennen, dann muss er wahrscheinlich Cellist werden. Pablo nach Pablo Casals. Bei Pablo Ferrández war das so. „Ich bin Pablo und ich spiele Cello – das war für mich das Normalste auf der Welt“, sagt der heute 34-Jährige. Jetzt legt er ein neues Album vor, sein viertes bei Sony, und diesmal ist sein Thema: der Mond.

Abor & Tynna kommen aus Wien, sprechen zuhause Ungarisch und treten für Deutschland beim Eurovision Song Contest in der Schweiz mit dem Song "Baller" an. Sie reden über den Beginn ihrer Karriere, ihre Erfahrungen mit Stefan Raab, dem deutschen Vorentscheid "Chefsache ESC" und ihre Erwartungen für die Zukunft. Außerdem reden Alkis und Marco über Musiklizenzen und Flaggenpolitik.Das Wiener Geschwisterpaar Abor & Tynna sind von Haus aus mit klassischer Musik aufgewachsen, der Vater ist Cellist bei den Wiener Philharmonikern, beide Elternteile haben ungarische Wurzeln. Mit Merci, Chérie reden sie über erste musikalische Gehversuche, über das Arbeiten als Geschwister und ihre familiären und musikalischen Wurzeln.Die traditionellen Fragen bekommen die beiden auch: Abor hat Nemo auf der Playlist, Tynna hat 2024 dagegen nicht verfolgt. Ihre Lieblingssongs vom Song Contest sind "Heroes" von Måns Zelmerlöw für Abor, Tynna findet "Euphoria" noch immer den besten Song überhaupt.Anschließend Plaudern Alkis und Marco über zwei Themen: Das erste ist der neue Verhaltenscodex des ESC und damit auch die erlaubten Flaggen auf der Bühne. Mit strengen Regeln sollen jetzt nur mehr Landesflaggen der teilnehmenden Länder von Acts auf der Bühne erlaubt sein, aber keine anderen. Auch keine Regenbogen-Flagge und keine Europa-Flagge. Im Publikum dagegen sind alle erlaubt, solange sie nicht gesetzlich verboten sind.Und über noch ein Thema reden wir: Wie soll es weitergehen mit "Merci, Chérie"?

When a cello was donated from overseas and no one around could play it, violinist Iva Maharjan says she took up the challenge. She credits her family for the support and encouragement. Maharjan, one of the few female cello players in Kathmandu, the Nepali capital, spoke to our correspondent Prayas Dulal. - विदेशबाट दानमा आएको चेलो बजाउने कोही नभेटेपछि नेपालकी इभा महर्जन आफूले भायलिन बजाउन छाडेर उक्त वाद्य यन्त्र बजाउन थालेको एसबीएस नेपालीलाई बताएकी छिन्। परिवारको साथ र हौसलाका कारण ११ वर्षको उमेरदेखि विभिन्न बाजाहरू बजाउँदै आएकी उनी अहिले आएर काठमान्डूमा भएका केही अर्केस्ट्रामा चेलो बजाउने केही सीमित वाद्यवादिकाकी रूपमा देखिन थालेकी हुन्। चेलो वादककै रूपमा आफ्नो भविष्य देखेकी इभा महर्जनसँग नेपाल संवाददाता प्रयास दुलालले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

Mom hated THE PERFECTION and there was no love lost between Mac & STOPMOTION.CW for mention/suggestion of child rape in THE PERFECTION and childhood trauma in STOPMOTION.Both films are about mental illness and both fail spectacularly in its depiction. THE PERFECTION could have been a joyous, campy romp, but it is too careless with its subject matter and results in a horribly distasteful mess.STOPMOTION has some wonderful stop motion sequences which may be worth the price of admission, but even with its short run time, it overstays its welcome.This was a fun conversation about two repellent films.Next time we are covering two films that deal with class warfare: READY OR NOT & THE PLATFORM.

Zlatomir Fung won the Cello category of the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition, and also has an enviable collection of other cello awards and prizes to his name. He was a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Winner in 2022 and was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2020. His debut recording, ‘Fantasies', is just out from Signum and on it he explores, with his pianist Richard Fu, a very specific genre, the virtuoso fantasy based on popular operas of the day. And Zlatomir has contributed his own fantasy based on Janáček's Jenůfa. James Jolly went to talk to him at Henry Wood Hall in London earlier this year just before a rehearsal with the London Philharmonic with whom he was performing a couple of concerts.

We explore the emotional profundities and rich spectrum of colors that the cello can evoke, and how it reflects the subtleties of human emotion. Andrei shares his thoughts on playing Bach, discussing the personal connection he has with his instrument and his journey as a musician. He also reflects on the nuances of gut strings, the importance of good posture for a cellist, the physical sensation of the cello resting against his body, and how this intimate embrace influences emotional expression and depth of sound, particularly in the intense, low register passages. In this episode dedicated to music, Andrei also discusses his Romanian heritage and how the voice of Romania speaks through his bow, offering a personal insight into his cultural identity. In this episode, he takes us inside his experience during the 15th Tchaikovsky Competition and talks about his most difficult decisions as a musician. Most powerfully, Andrei opens up about how he conveys his whole soul through his music, sharing the courage it takes to be vulnerable and break through at the highest emotional peaks, only to let go and invite the listener into a shared human experience through his playing. This episode is a real treat for the ears and the heart! Andrei Ioniță's carrier it's a journey of emotional reflection and artistic courage – You'll understand what it is meant to “play from the gut”.

As we continue to celebrate 200 years since Louis Braille invented his six-dot tactile reading and writing system Braille, RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined by Blind Cellist and Music Teacher Leslie Hamric who performs with the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra in America to find out more about the benefits of learning and using Braille music as a blind musician. Toby began by asking Leslie to explain what Braille Music actually is and how it does give a tactile version of music notation to blind musicians before asking Leslie to talk about the maybe slightly embarrassing time during a choir practice that in many ways forced Leslie to really embrace Braille music. Leslie also explains how she uses Braille music when learning pieces on the cello in preparation for performing with the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, when the benefits of Braille music comes up when she is teaching her blind music students, plus  some great tips and advice on learning Braille Music too.

The South African-born, UK-based cellist Abel Selaocoe doesn't really cross musical boundaries – he ignores them entirely. He'll play Bach cello suites, but he also writes music that draws on the throat singing and instinctive vocalizations of his South African heritage, as well as works with electronics, cello preparations, and site-specific sound installations. And sometimes, he'll create a performance that seems to be all of them at once. He has a new album coming called Hymns of Bantu, due on February 21. Abel Selaocoe plays some of those pieces, solo, in-studio.  Abel Selaocoe appears courtesy of Warner Classics  Set list: 1.Ka Bohaleng 2. Les Voix Humaines/Tsohle Tsohle 3. Dinaka
