Ouzo Talk returns for season four with a deep-dive into the world of Byzantine Chant. With the help of Byzantine Chant expert Dimitris Koubaroulis, Tom and Nick have all their questions answered about this unique form of music, which while most closely associated with the music and sounds of the Church, is an art-form all its own that has not only influenced modern music, but has also helped to record and preserve the music of other cultures. There's more to Byzantine Chanting than what you grew up hearing in Church – in fact, it's a tradition of music that stretches back to ancient times. Mandatory listening for those interested in music!This episode is proudly brought to you by:Mr Roses: mrroses.com.au (https://mrroses.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOoqxc8960pjv3Wurn86dFcGVewLAqyATsIwwyQYWPBIZsflTO6Fo)The Greek Providore: thegreekprovidore.com.au (https://thegreekprovidore.com.au/)Send us a text https://mrroses.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOoqxc8960pjv3Wurn86dFcGVewLAqyATsIwwyQYWPBIZsflTO6FoSupport the showEmail us at ouzotalk@outlook.comSubscribe to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalkFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/

In this episode, our new producer, Lauren Williams, revisits an old genre through a new lens. Classical music, a historically exclusionary space, is going through changes. We explore the process of writing and performing boundary-pushing classical music with Seth Parker Woods, a Grammy-nominated cello player who pulls from the sounds and stories of the Black diaspora to write otherworldly compositions, and Curtis Stewart, a Grammy-nominated Violinist who experiments with beats and electronics in his virtuosic arrangements. We get a taste of how far the genre has come — and how far it has to go — from Afa Dworkin, a violinist and the creative director of The Sphinx Organization, which supports emerging composers of color. To wrap up the episode, we hear from Abel Selaocoe, a classical cellist from South Africa who has gifted the genre something new to play by tapping into ancestral memory. PA 030

I was delighted to have the opportunity to sit down with Anne Midgette and Greg Sandow together. Both are influential thinkers and leaders in the world of music, each boasting remarkable careers. Anne served as the music critic for The Washington Post for 12 years, following her tenure at The New York Times. She has co-authored two captivating but distinctly different books: My Nine Lives: A Memoir of Many Careers in Music with Leon Fleisher, and The King and I: The Uncensored Tale of Luciano Pavarotti with Herbert Breslin. Currently, she is working on an exciting new project—a book about Nanette Streicher, the innovative woman who built pianos for Beethoven.Greg Sandow has an equally impressive background, having taught at Juilliard for 25 years and currently teaching at the Peabody Conservatory. His courses at Juilliard included "How to Talk About Music" and "Classical Music in an Age of Pop." Greg has written for a range of prestigious publications, such as The Village Voice, The New York Times Book Review, Opera News, and The Wall Street Journal. Notably, he was the first music critic for Entertainment Weekly and spent three years as the chief pop critic for The Los Angeles Herald Examiner. And here's an interesting detail—Anne Midgette and Greg Sandow are married!In Part 1, we begin by exploring how Anne and Greg first met. From there, the conversation shifts to pop music with Greg offering his unique perspective, including why he believes Taylor Swift holds such significant cultural importance. This leads us into a thoughtful discussion on the relationship between art and commerce. A substantial segment of this part of the interview is devoted to their insights on how orchestras, opera companies, and musicians have evolved over the years and what orchestras can do to build and engage their audiences effectively.[Subscriber Content] In Part 2, we delve into the demanding schedules of successful conductors and musicians, touching on how the greatest artists need space and time to mature their interpretations. Following that, Anne and Greg share their individual writing habits, providing a glimpse into their creative processes. We conclude our conversation by examining revealing differences in how classical music is critiqued compared to pop and rock music.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

This week's episode comes from that lovely time vortex between Christmas and New Years, when we're all full of chocolate and pints and time is but a construct.Therefore, this week's guest is perhaps the most special on of the podcast's history, as I sit down with my mum whilst I'm home for an Irish Christmas. She'll tell you all about the challenges of raising a professional musician as someone who had zero connection with that world, including financial difficulties, class gaps and some very steep learning curves for all of us. If you're a parent to a musician, this episode is the one for you. Inline G Merch

He highlights Tchaikovsky's enduring masterpieces, including The 1812 Overture, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty, examining his genius for melody, orchestral “color,” and exploring international inspirations. Suchet also reflects on the immense contemporary cultural and financial success of The Nutcracker and Tchaikovsky's other ballets, which captivate audiences worldwide. Closing the discussion, Suchet celebrates Tchaikovsky's unparalleled ability to create music that remains timeless, magical, and universally beloved, establishing his place as a cornerstone of the classical music repertoire. In doing so, he reads a passage from his book, Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed.

Conversations with Musicians, with Leah Roseman

Katherine Needleman is a wonderful oboe player, who has been the principal oboist of the Baltimore Symphony since 2003. She's also active as a solist and chamber musician, and is on faculty at the Curtis Institute of Music. She is a champion of music of our time and you'll find her recordings and many projects on her website. To many listeners in the Classical Music world, she's probably better known for her Substack articles and posts on social media that address misogyny, sexual misconduct and assault, and the lack of diversity and equity in the Classical music world. In this conversation you'll hear about some of her activism and advocacy work , and different aspects of Katherine's life as a musician, including her work as a composer and educator, and mentors including Jennifer Higdon. Please note the timestamps to navigate the episode. I regret that I didn't get into improvisation with her, because she's also an excellent improvisor and has put out an album of improvised chamber music “The Marmalade Balloon”. Perhaps we can get into this next time she comes on the podcast! You can watch this on YouTube or listen to the podcast, and I've also linked the transcript to my website: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/katherine-needleman Katherine Needleman website “Land Where My Fathers Died” Aria for oboe and piano by Jennifer Higdon (sheet music available on the composer's website) It's a joy to bring these inspiring episodes to you every week, and I do all the many jobs of research, production and publicity.

In the final episode of Season 2, Charles welcomes Jim Turbert, an American communication technologist and podcaster residing in Rotterdam. Jim reflects on his first concert at age 13, where Ringo Starr's performance left a lasting impression, partly thanks to his music-loving uncle who influenced his musical tastes. He recounts various memorable concerts, including a powerful Afghan Wigs show in Boston, where lead singer Greg Dooley's storytelling made the performance unforgettable, even despite later learning Dooley's on-stage declaration of being on acid was untrue.Jim shares his appreciation for technically proficient artists like Mike Watt and Nels Cline, recounting a particularly electrifying performance that displayed exceptional guitar skills. His experiences underscore the importance of venue acoustics and crowd energy, such as how silence and attention at a Sigur Rós concert added to the immersive quality of the show. Conversely, he describes a disappointing Eagles concert during their 'When Hell Freezes Over' tour due to multiple breaks and inflated egos.A standout anecdote involves Jim losing a shoe while crowd-surfing at a Nirvana concert, only to have Kurt Cobain toss it backstage, leaving him to navigate the chilly New England night unshod. Amid these personal stories, Jim also touches on the broader implications of concert experiences, including nostalgic reflections on hitchhiking back from a Sonic Youth concert with friends and the pure joy of witnessing an early White Stripes performance in a frat house setting.In addition to sharing concert stories, Jim speaks about his podcast, 'Feel Free to Deviate,' which delves into people's career paths and their relationships with success.
