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.

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"? Die Kosten für Musik-Lizenzen, aber auch für das Hosting und diverse Services sammeln sich an.

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.

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

Michèle Schönbächler lädt die Geschäftsführerin einer Kaffeerösterei und den Cellisten und Influencer zum Kaffeekränzchen. «Diese Bohnen riechen nach Heu und Blumen», oder «der Kaffee hat eine leichte Honig-Note». Beatrice Rast kommt ins Schwärmen, wenn sie von Kaffeebohnen und Kaffee spricht, denn im Leben der 42-jährigen dreht sich praktisch alles um die kleinen Bohnen und das schwarze Getränk. Seit 2016 führt sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester und ihrem Ehemann das Luzerner Familienunternehmen in der vierten Generation. Als junge Frau war sie noch nicht sicher, ob sie tatsächlich in den Familienbetrieb einsteigen will. Erst bei einem mehrmonatigen Aufenthalt in Bolivien, bei dem sie auf einer Kaffeeplantage geerntet und unterstützt hat, reifte der Gedanke und der Mut, sich voll und ganz dem Kaffeegeschäft hinzuwenden. Als Einkäuferin ist sie zuständig für den Einkauf der perfekten Bohnen, die in Ebikon/LU zum genussvollen Kaffee verarbeitet werden. Zweimal bereits erhielt der Familienbetrieb die Auszeichnung «Schweizer Röster des Jahres». _______________________________ Jodok Vuille ist auf über 1000 Meter über Meer im Emmental auf einem Biobauernhof aufgewachsen. Die Kindheit auf dem Hof mitten im Wald, der weite Schulweg, die Naturverbundenheit haben Jodok Vuille geprägt. An der Musikhochschule Luzern liess er sich zum Cellisten ausbilden und blickte auf eine Zukunft als Musik- und Sportlehrer. Der Algorithmus hat für den 36-jährigen etwas anderes vorgesehen: seine ästhetischen Cello-Videos in den Sozialen Medien gingen viral. Mit über 5 Millionen Followern allein auf Instagram ist er der erfolgreichste Schweizer auf der Plattform. Diese Bekanntheit hat ihn unter anderem zum Katarischen Königshaus geführt, wo er für die Königsfamilie konzertierte. Auch der FC Barcelona arbeitete bereits mit dem Schweizer Musiker zusammen. Am 26. März startet der Musiker in Zürich mit seiner ersten eigenen Tour in der Schweiz und auf der ganzen Welt, je nach dem, wo er die meisten Follower hat. _______________________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler _______________________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish. Next Episode In two weeks (October 30), Catherine and I will be back with our Fall 2024 Circle Back episode.
