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.

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.

James Sedares and the Phoenix Symphony make a strong argument that Copland's film music and opera suites are every bit as masterful as his most famous works. These works are coupled with Eduard Brunner's atmospheric performance of Copland's Clarinet Concerto.“Copland [in ‘The Red Pony' is] displaying his simple gifts for the ready folk-tune and here the Phoenix woodwinds have what it takes. … It was interesting re-hearing his ‘Tender Land' suite. So skillful is Copland's orchestral transcription that one might easily be lulled into thinking this had been conceived solely for orchestra. As trumpets signal a new dawn over the open prairies, Laurie and Martin's love blossoms in some of his most generous music outside ‘Appalachian Spring'. That evocative solo trumpet again leads the emotional surge. No problems with the barn dancing ‘Party Scene'. This is Steinbeck's country just as surely as is ‘The Red Pony'. [James ]Sedares leads a spirited rendition, his warm and willing woodwinds stealing the honors.” -GramophoneTracksThe Red Pony, Suite from the film I. Morning on the Ranch (5:08) II.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1949, the British composer Gerald Finzi conducted the premiere performance of his Clarinet Concerto at the Three Choirs Festival in Hereford.During his lifetime, Finzi never achieved the fame of some other 20th-century British composers. British tenor Mark Padmore wrote a recent appreciation titled “The Quiet Man of British Music,” which included these lines:“I want to make a case for taking the time to get to know a composer … whose plumage is discreet and whose song is quiet and subtle. Finzi might be termed one of classical music's wrens. Despite his exotic-sounding surname and mixed Italian, Sephardic and Ashkenazi heritage, Finzi was in many ways an archetypal English gentleman. ... One of his passions was the saving of old English varieties of apples. … [His] music was written slowly and often it would take many years for a piece to reach its final form.”Finzi died in 1956, at 55, from Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was concerned his music would be forgotten after his death and added this note to his catalogue of works: "The affection which an individual may retain after his departure is perhaps the only thing which guarantees an ultimate life to his work."Music Played in Today's ProgramGerald Finzi (1901 - 1956) – Clarinet Concerto (Alan Hacker; English String Orchestra; William Boughton, cond.)

On this week's The Cultural Frontline we explore the power of music and how artists have been using it to highlight issues including politics and the #MeToo movement. Prakash Neupane is a Nepali rapper and writer who mixes hip hop and R&B with social and political messages. His songs address the issues facing Nepal and his thoughts on the political situation in the country and its complex recent history. Prakash talks to Tina Daheley about why he feels rap is a good way of getting his message across and his role in a flourishing new wave of the Nepali hip hop scene. The Australian actor Cate Blanchett has just won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of a fictitious classical music conductor and composer in Todd Field's new film Tár. It follows the downfall of Lydia Tár who is at the pinnacle of her career when she is accused of bullying and sexual misconduct towards her fellow musicians. Cate speaks to reporter Anna Bailey about why she wanted to take on this role and shares her response to the criticisms the film has faced. They are also joined by the creative force behind Tár's score, the award-winning Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. Hildur discusses her own experiences of being a woman creating music. Plus Syrian clarinettist and composer, Kinan Azmeh. He's recently performed his own works with the London Philharmonic Orchestra as part of their A place to call home series, which explores issues of displacement and exile. Kinan speaks to The Cultural Frontline's Andrea Kidd about how his works, including his Clarinet Concerto, have been influenced by the Syrian civil war and the importance of home.

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.

This week's quiz: RFI English journalist Laura Angela Bagnetto was in Côte d'Ivoire in May, at the United Nations' 15th “Conference of the Parties”. The theme for the conference was “Land. Life. Legacy: From scarcity to prosperity”, and is, as the UN wrote, “a call to action to ensure land, the lifeline on this planet, continues to benefit present and future generations.”  ​ In Laura Angela's article, “COP15: Securing land rights is crucial to land restoration in Africa”, she talks about a pan-African pastoralist movement that's being created by the Rangelands Initiative Africa. All examples show, as Laura Angela points out, that when the community is involved – in this case, the pastoralists – they themselves will achieve what is needed. This new grassroots group of pastoralists planned to meet again in late May, to agree on the way forward, and on 21 May, I asked you to tell me where that meeting would take place. The answer is: In Jordan, at the International Land Coalition (ILC) forum. The ILC is a global alliance of civil society and farmers' organizations, NGOs, and United Nations agencies. The winners are: Sharifun Islam Nitu from the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and RFI Listener Club members Father Stephen Wara from Bamenda, Cameroon; Razia Hosen Iti from Netrokona, Bangladesh; Rachid Dahmani from M'sila, Algeria, and Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene in Denmark, who included this thoughtful comment with his quiz entry: “God has created enough for everyone's needs, but not enough for everyone's greed!” Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's program: “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, performed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra; Traditional Fulani music for flutes, performed by Bailo Bah and Sylvain Leroux; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and the Clarinet Concerto by Aaron Copland, performed by Richard Stoltzman with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas.

A French military victory at Valmy in 1792 and the execution of Louis XVI in January 1793 focused the growing concern across Europe about the radical new regime in Paris. The true revolutionary nature of events in France was dawning on everyone, including the possibility of the export of the revolutionary principles. In France, there was further political turmoil in 1793 with the coming to power of Maximilien Robespierre, who embarked on a fully fledged reign of TerrorMusic - Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A major, I.

Donald Macleod explores Mozart's prolific final years. Five years before Mozart's premature death aged 35, the composer felt at the top of his game. He was performing regularly in Vienna and his music was beloved throughout the city. However, the Austro-Turkish War between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire would soon have a negative impact on Mozart's prospects, along with changing musical taste in the Austrian capital. The nobility had more important things to do than hold concerts and commission new music. Money was in shorter supply. As a composer for hire, Mozart had to change tack and write chamber music for publication and for performance in middle class homes, rather than concertos for the nobility.

Aaron Copland, American composer, was born in 1900 in New York. He was taught to play the piano by his elder sister, and when he was 15 years old he decided he wanted to be a composer. In 1921 he went to Paris to study with the famous teacher Nadia Boulanger, and during his 3 years in Paris he was at the forefront of the mucical avant-garde. After his return to the United States he produced his first major work, the Symphony for Organ and Orchestra which was first performed at Carnegie Hall in 1925.Copland, like Bach, assimilated all the important musical trends of his lifetime. Jazz, Stravinsky's neoclassicism, American folklore, and finally Schoenberg's 12-tone system, all made their imprint on his music, and yet his style remained unique, personal, and instantly recognizeable. He stopped composing in 1970, but continued conducting and lecturing for more than 10 years, as well as promoting modern American works and establishing the composition department at Tanglewood. He died in 1990 in the Phelps Memorial Hospital in Tarrytown (New York).Copland is rightly considered the most important American composer of the mid 20th century. He produced masterpieces in most musical genres. His most enduringly popular works are those of his 'Americana' period : Rodeo, Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring, Danzon Cubano, El Salon Mexico, the film scores Our Town and The Red Pony, and the incidental music for Irwin Shaw's play Quiet City. The 'Fanfare for the Common Man' from his imposing Third Symphony has become an icon of American music, played at countless celebratory occasions. His concerti include a Piano Concerto and a Clarinet Concerto written for Benny Goodman. He also left a sizable body of chamber music, songs, and piano music.His piano works span the better part of his career. Between the early frolic of The Cat and the Mouse (1920) to the serial 10-tone Piano Fantasy (1957), we find these major landmark works : Passacaglia (1922), Piano Variations (1930), Sonata (1941), and the ever popular Four Piano Blues (1948), all of which are among the most important American piano works of the time.

Korean-born clarinetist, Wonkak Kim, is an Associate Professor of Clarinet at the University of Oregon School of Music. Wonkak has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician at leading venues throughout the United States, as well as in Paris, London, Ghent, Geneva, Seoul, Osaka, Costa Rica, and Brazil. He was the first Korean clarinetist to perform Mozart's Clarinet Concerto on basset clarinet in a nationally broadcasted concert with Seungnam Philharmonic Orchestra in South Korea. Wonkak is a founding member of enhakē, the clarinet-violin-cello-piano quartet, which is in its 12th season and has been praised for rhythmic integrity. Won joins The Playful Musician to chat about his musical beginnings, from Korea to Paris to the United States. We discuss the nuances of clarinet teaching, including how to pace expectations. Wonkak shares how he approaches memorization and tips for musicians still honing the process. We chat about his interests outside of music, the basset clarinet, and about his many upcoming projects, including performing with the Rogue Valley Symphony. 

Composed in his final year, this concerto is one of Mozart's last and most enduring works. Nicole and John explore the origins of the concerto, which was originally for a slightly different and more obscure instrument. They also talk about what to listen for in each movement and even give a little music theory lesson to explore some unintended consequences in the music.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Synopsis On today's date in 1956, the English composer Gerald Finzi died in Oxford. He was just 55 years old. Finzi suffered from Hodgkin's disease, and shortly before his death had caught chickenpox from some children he had visited, an infection that proved fatal. Finzi was born into a wealthy, assimilated Jewish family. His mother was musical, and an amateur composer. Even with talent, wealth, support from the likes of Ralph Vaughan Williams and several golden opportunities for career advancement, Finzi proved to be a rather diffident soul who seemed to prefer to work in seclusion and relative obscurity. He collected rare books and scores by 18th century English composers but is most famous for his settings of poems by Thomas Hardy, a contemporary of his parent's generation. Himself an agnostic, Finzi produced a small body of sacred choral works, and two instrumental pieces that have endeared him to clarinetists: a set of  clarinet  “Bagatelles” from 1943 and this Clarinet Concerto from 1949. The British critic Norman Lebrecht offers this assessment of Finzi's appeal: “a confluence of Elgar without bluffness and Vaughan Williams at his most delicate. His concerto for clarinet and strings is a light and lovely lament for lost times.” Music Played in Today's Program Gerald Finzi (1901 – 1956) — Clarinet Concerto (Richard Stoltzman, clarinet; Guildhall String Ensemble; Robert Slater, cond.)

Synopsis OK – say you were paid to listen to and promote hundreds of new classical recordings every month and travel the world to broker new deals for a major record company. The question is, “What would you do in your spare time?” Well, if you’re a composer, the answer is easy: write your OWN music, of course. Sean Hickey’s “day job” is being the Senior Vice-President for Sales and Business Development at Naxos of America, but who also finds time to create his own chamber and orchestral works. On today’s date in 2007, for example, his Clarinet Concerto received its premiere performance at Symphony Space in New York City, with David Gould as soloist with the Metro Chamber Orchestra. It’s gone on to be his most-performed orchestra work, and, in keeping with Hickey’s globe-trotting, has been recorded in the Russian Federation by another virtuoso clarinetist, Alexander Fiterstein with the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony. The work also incorporates fragments of folk tunes from Scotland as part of the creative mix. Why Scottish themes? “They have a timeless quality of most great folk music, “says Hickey. “In the concerto’s cadenza, a fiddle tune leads headlong into a rapturous close.” Music Played in Today's Program Sean Hickey — Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (Alexander Fiterstein, cl; St. Petersburg Academic Symphony; Vladimir Lande, cond.)Delos 3448 On This Day Births 1899 - American composer and teacher Randall Thompson, in New York; 1933 - American composer and pianist Easley Blackwood, in Indianapolis; Premieres 1845 - Lortzing: opera "Undine," in Magdeburg at the Stadttheater; 1889 - Puccini: opera "Edgar," in Milan at the Teatro alla Scala; 1917 - Debussy: Sonata No. 2 for flute,viola, and harp, at a concert of the Société Musicale Indépendante in Paris, by the trio of Manouvirier (flute), Jarecki (viola), and Jamet (harp); 1918 - Prokofiev: Symphony No. 1 ("Classical"), in Petrograd, by the former Court Orchestra with the composer conducting; 1922 - Frederick Converse: Symphony No. 2, by the Boston Symphony, Pierre Monteux conducting; 1924 - Youmans: musical "No, No Nanette," in Detroit; After stops in Chicago and London, the musical opened on Broadway on Sept. 16, 1925; 1937 - Copland: a play-opera for high school "The Second Hurricane," at the Grand Street Playhouse in New York City, with soloists from the Professional Children's School, members of the Henry Street Settlement adult chorus, and the Seward High School student chorus, with Lehman Engle conducting and Orson Welles directing the staged production; One professional adult actor, Joseph Cotton, also participated (He was paid $10); 1939 - Leonard Bernstein's first appearance as a conductor, leading his own incidental score to "The Birds" at Harvard; 1942 - Bernstein: Clarinet Sonata, in Boston, with clarinetist David Glazer and the composer at the piano; 1948 - Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 6, at Royal Albert Hall in London, by the BBC Symphony, Sir Adrian Boult conducting; 1973 - Bliss: "Variations" for orchestra, in London, with Leopold Stokowski conducting; 1985 - Morton Feldman: "For Philip Guston," for chamber ensemble, in New York; 1988 - Bernstein: "Missa brevis," in Atlanta by the Atlanta Symphony Chorus conducted by Robert Shaw; Others 1749 - Against Handel's wishes, in advance of its official premiere scheduled for April 27, a public rehearsal of Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks" at Vauxhall Gardens takes place; Reports suggest 12,000 attended, causing traffic jams on London Bridge (Gregorian date: May 2); 1829 - Mendelssohn, age 20, arrives in London for his first visit. 1863 - American premiere of J.S.

“Pssst… Hey buddy–wanna buy a bridge?… No? Well, how about a Clarinet Concerto, then?” As most of us know, the Brooklyn Bridge is not for sale, but this New York icon has reputedly been sold to many unsuspecting visitors. After its opening in 1883, Harper's Monthly wrote, "The wise man will not cross the bridge in five minutes, nor in twenty, [but] will linger to get the good of the splendid view about him." The American composer Michael Daugherty did just that, and came up with a concerto for clarinet and wind ensemble that premiered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and then, on today’s date, in 2005 was performed at New York’s Carnegie Hall. “Like the four cables of webs of wire and steel that hold the Brooklyn Bridge together,” says Daugherty, “my ode to this cultural icon [in] four movements: East (Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights); South (Statue of Liberty); West (Wall Street and the lower Manhattan skyline); and North (Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Rockefeller Center). In the final movement, I imagine Artie Shaw, the great jazz swing clarinetist of the 1940s, performing in the once glorious Rainbow Room on the sixty-fifth floor of the Rockefeller Center.”

2 Tartini - Clarinet Concerto - Réjouissances by Ruach Breath of Life

Jamie Parker shot to fame as one of Alan Bennett’s original History Boys – he was the one who played the piano. In this week’s Private Passions he tells Michael Berkeley about the vital role music plays in his life. A decade after The History Boys Jamie took the title role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the marathon West End and Broadway show which won nine Olivier Awards, including Best Actor for Jamie. In between, he has sung in Sondheim, Gilbert and Sullivan and the Sinatra tribute Prom, and appeared in films such as 1917 and Valkyrie. And he has starred at Shakespeare’s Globe – memorably as the recorder-playing Prince Hal. Jamie shares with Michael his lifelong passion for the clarinet – he chooses Finzi’s Clarinet Concerto, which he has played himself, as well as music by Gershwin and by Louis Armstrong with inspiring clarinet parts. Two of Jamie’s favourite pieces of music come from films he loved as a child – Henry Mancini’s score for Blake Edwards’ The Great Race and the music for Watership Down by the neglected composer Angela Morley. Jamie shares her remarkable story: born a man, she transitioned in 1972 and was a largely self-taught musician. She wrote extensively for film, television and radio, including the theme tune for Hancock’s Half Hour, and she won three Emmys and was twice nominated for an Oscar. And Jamie reveals how, in his long quest to play it, he instilled an enduring love of Rhapsody in Blue in his childhood dog. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3

"Memorías de África" por César Bardés Yo tenía una granja en África. Pero más allá de paisajes asombrosos, de una fauna espectacular o de cualquier otra cosa que pueda sugerir tan exótico continente, recuerdo las sensaciones de aquel lugar. El calor de la tarde, la lluvia en su época, los bichos cercando mi piel, las caricias…sí, eso es lo que no se puede olvidar. Las caricias del único hombre del mundo que no se podía estar quieto, tenía que vivir su aventura y no aceptaba a nadie más a bordo. La plenitud de ver esa tierra desde el aire y a su lado vale por toda una vida. Los animales en su entorno, tratando de buscar comida o agua mientras el avión les asustaba con sus hélices imparables…y él estrechando mi mano como si aquel fuera el primer momento, el último momento, todos los momentos. Eso no se puede olvidar ni siquiera congelando al pensamiento en la helada Dinamarca. El sol abrasador todavía me roza, los ojos de él todavía me acogen. Yo tenía una granja en África… Y tal vez la sensación del recuerdo me transporta a esa ocasión en la que él me lavó la cabeza mientras Mozart desgranaba sus notas en aquel viejo gramófono. El agua fresca cayendo entre las raíces de mi pelo era como la vida tratando de abrirse paso entre los días. Sus dedos llegando a las profundidades del bosque de mi cabello eran como una exploración de los sentidos, como adentrarse en una tierra que deseaba ser desvirgada. La música que rodeó todos aquellos años ha sido siempre como la expresión máxima de un romanticismo que es, más bien, un privilegio para unos pocos. La granja seguía su marcha mientras mi marido alternaba en los sitios donde la alta sociedad de labrantía extranjera seguía haciendo dinero explotando a los nativos. Quédate quieto, Dennis, quiero sentirte. No te muevas. Estás dentro de mí. Y ya no podrás salir por mucho que no quieras estar junto a mí. El amor es esto. Es África. Eres tú. Es Mozart. Es el calor. Es el agua fresca. Es darse cuenta de que en tu tumba, todos los días al atardecer, habrá dos leones mirándose a los ojos y diciéndose muchas cosas sin abrir la boca. Tal vez por eso vine a África, para darme cuenta de que aquí empezaba la eternidad. Luego dejé la granja y volví a mi país. Me enfrenté a las hojas en blanco que me desafiaban con su arrogante blancura y me puse a escribir tratando de explicar por qué estaba fuera de África. Tal vez porque no podía seguir viviendo en un lugar donde estuve rodeada de pasiones y todas ellas se esfumaron en el momento en que tú, Dennis, ya no estabas sobre la Tierra. No lo sé. Tal vez porque ya no me ataba nada allí y empecé a sentir lo mismo que tú sentías, que no pertenecías a ningún paraje, a ningún sitio, a ningún continente. Escribir sobre las memorias de una misma en África es muy difícil y otros puede que lo consigan con ese arte del cine. Ojalá consigan transmitir esa plenitud, ese lavado de pelo, esos momentos imborrables que escriben la personalidad de los que los viven. Yo tenía una granja en África y todos los días me acuerdo de ella. Aún vivo allí. Aún amo allí. Tracklist: Música de John Barry (Duración corte) - Localización minutaje - Trailer 5:30 1.

The castaway on Desert Island Discs this week is the filmmaker and director Mike Leigh. He first came to public attention on a dark and stormy evening when 16 million people tuned to BBC1 to watch his film Abigail's Party. It was also the night that ITV was blacked out by a strike, there was a highbrow documentary on BBC2, and Channel 4 didn't exist. His recent films Secrets and Lies and Naked won top awards at Cannes, building on the recognition he received for his earlier, more gentle portrait of working-class life - Life is Sweet. He explains to Sue Lawley how his early films were inspired by the work of Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett and Francois Truffaut.
