Podcast appearances and mentions of Claude Debussy

Neste episódio do podcast filosófico da Nova Acrópole, partimos da obra Crátilo, de Platão, para refletir sobre o poder e a profundidade das palavras. O professor Bernardo Norah, da sede de Uberaba (MG), conduz uma instigante análise sobre como a linguagem vai muito além de um simples meio de comunicação: ela expressa ideias, valores e símbolos que revelam a essência do ser humano. O diálogo aborda a importância de compreender a origem etimológica e simbólica de termos como "alma", "corpo", "herói", "sabedoria", "virtude" e os nomes de deuses da mitologia grega — como Hades, Apolo e Atena — revelando como esses conceitos se conectam com a busca do autoconhecimento e da realização do ser. Também são exploradas as quatro virtudes fundamentais segundo Platão — sabedoria, coragem, moderação e justiça — como pilares para uma vida mais ética e consciente. A reflexão nos convida a resgatar o sentido profundo das palavras e aplicá-las em nossa vivência diária, como ferramentas de transformação interior e construção de uma existência mais plena. Participantes: Danilo Gomes e Bernardo Norah Trilha Sonora: Petite Suite, de Claude Debussy

Au Grand Théâtre de Genève jusquʹau 4 novembre 2026, lʹopéra dramatique de Claude Debussy vogue entre cauchemar gothique et visions cosmiques imaginées par le trio Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Damien Jalet et Marina Abramovic. Une impressionnante plongée dans un noir profond que décrypte le chorégraphe Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui au micro de Thierry Sartoretti.

2026 TOK Essay Title 2: To what extent do you agree that doubt is central to the pursuit of knowledge? Answer with reference to two areas of knowledge. This title seems to pick up in the middle of a debate about the nature of knowledge, and how it has shifted over time… particularly with the 21st century focus on STEM, and a scientific approach to knowledge. For me, as an art teacher, the idea that doubt is essential to the pursuit of knowledge is counter-intuitive, even corrosive; how can one create without a measure of belief? I recognized the deep, conflicting roles doubt plays in our two fields. To bridge that ideological gap and truly understand the scientific methodology, I pulled a brilliant Physics teacher away from his formulas and into a necessary conversation. Guest: Mr. Saif Ullah (Physics Teacher) Music: Julia Shi performing Claude Debussy, Feb 2025

Mélanie Bonis studierte gemeinsam mit Claude Debussy am Pariser Konservatorium – und sie war so talentiert, dass sie viele Preise gewann. Über 300 Werke hat sie komponiert, meist unter der männlich klingenden Abkürzung «Mel Bonis». Denn Frauen traute man damals das Komponistenhandwerk nicht zu. Dabei liest sich Mélanie Bonis' Lebensgeschichte wie ein Roman: César Franck entdeckt ihr Musiktalent, vermittelt sie ans Pariser Konservatorium. Doch ihre Liebe zu einem Musiker wird von den streng katholischen Eltern verboten; sie verheiraten Mélanie mit einem wohlhabenden Industriellen. Sie sorgt für fünf Stiefkinder, drei leibliche Kinder und bekommt heimlich mit ihrer Jugendliebe eine uneheliche Tochter. Diese wächst bei Pflegeeltern auf – und verliebt sich später unwissend in ihren Halbbruder… Zwischen all dem hat Mélanie Bonis fast 300 Werke komponiert. Jenny Berg spricht gemeinsam mit der Geigerin Leila Schayegh und der Musikwissenschaftlerin Martina Wohlthat über Mel Bonis' Violinsonate in fis-Moll op. 112.

This week's quiz: On 26 July, I asked you a question about Paul Myers' article “Petition seeking repeal of new French farming law passes one million signatures”. It was about the Duplomb law, which was passed by the French parliament on 8 July. The law would allow the pesticide acetamiprid to be used, after a ban since 2018. French farmers protested the ban because it is allowed at the European level; they say it puts them at a disadvantage with their European counterparts. But two weeks after the bill passed, Eléonore Pattery, a young student from Bordeaux, launched a petition calling for a recall. And that was your question: you were to write in with the number of signatures on that petition as of 20 July, and also how many signatures French law requires before the lower house of Parliament, the Assemblée Nationale, has the right to hold a public debate on the contents of the petition. The answer is, to quote Paul's article: “Late on Sunday, the 20th of July, the number of signatures had risen to 1,159,000. Under French rules, once a petition crosses that threshold and has verified signatures from throughout the country, the Assemblée Nationale has the right to hold a public debate on the contents of the petition. The regulations also state that even if a petition gathers 500,000 names, it does not mean that the legislation will be reviewed or repealed.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by RFI Listeners Club member Jocelyne D'Errico from New Zealand. She wanted to know how you feel and what you think about soulmates. Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to us! The winners are: RFI English listener Kalyani Basak from West Bengal, India. Kalyani is also the winner of this week's bonus quiz. Congratulations, Kalyani, on your double win.

This week's quiz: On 19 July, I asked you a question about RFI English journalist Dhananjay Khadilkar's video and article about the study of exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, which are planets outside of our solar system. As you read in Dhananjay's article “Swiss exoplanet pioneer reflects on Earth's place in the cosmos”, Didier Queloz, along with Michel Mayor, discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star in 1995, which ushered in, as Dhananjay wrote, a new era in astronomy and planetary science. The two scientists won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work. Dhananjay met with Didier Queloz, who told him, and I quote: “Looking for exoplanets is essentially looking for us.” What did Professor Queloz mean by that? You were to send in the answer to this question: According to Queloz, what is the essential reason for studying other planets? The answer is, to quote Dhananjay Khadilkar's article: “In essence, by studying other planetary systems, scientists are holding up a mirror to our own. Are the conditions that led to Earth's habitability common or exceedingly rare? Is our solar system an outlier, or just one example among countless others?” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “Is it up to the State, the government, to decide what is fair, or what is just?” Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to us! The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Dipita Chakrabarty from New Delhi, India. Dipita is also the winner of this week's bonus quiz. Congratulations, Dipita, on your double win. Also on the list of lucky winners is RFI Listeners Club member Pradip Basak from Kerala, India, and RFI English listeners Debashis Gope from West Bengal, India; Liton Rahaman Khan from Naogaon, Bangladesh, and Rashidul Bin Somor, the General Secretary of the Source of Knowledge Club, also in Naogaon.

In this episode, we explore the concept of the picturesque through Nathaniel Willis's 1840 description of Lake George. We debate whether beauty is inherent in nature or shaped by the imagination of the viewer, comparing Hudson River School painters to European artists like Salvator Rosa. Finally, we connect these ideas to modern culture, from Instagram photography to tourism, showing why the picturesque still matters todayMusic Credit:“Clair de Lune, L.32” by Claude Debussy

This week's quiz: On 12 July, I asked you a question about our article “Seven Nobel laureates urge France to adopt a tax on the 'ultra-rich'”. The open letter, written by seven Economics Nobel laureates, urged the French government to implement a minimum tax on the wealthiest households in France. The laureates noted that while global billionaires hold assets equivalent to 14 percent of global GDP, French billionaires control wealth worth nearly 30 percent of France's GDP. Our article cited a proposed wealth tax, which was voted down by the French Senate (it did pass in the lower house, the Assembly). I asked you to send in the name of the bill and why it has that name. The answer is: The bill is called the Zucman bill, after Gabriel Zucman. As noted in our article, “The bill was based on proposals by French economist Gabriel Zucman. Initially passed by the National Assembly, the bill would have introduced a 'differential contribution' ensuring that individuals with more than €100 million in assets pay at least 2 percent of their annual wealth in taxes. “The aim was to curb the kinds of avoidance strategies employed by some ultra-wealthy individuals, who are often able to structure their assets in ways that greatly reduce their tax burdens.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by Sultan Sarker, the president of the Shetu RFI Fan Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh. Sultan's question was: “What do you do when tragedy enters your life? How do you deal with the sorrow, the grief?” Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Admand Parajuli, the president of the Bandhu Listeners Club in Sunsari, Nepal. Admand is also the winner of this week's bonus quiz. Congratulations, Admand, on your double win. Also on the list of lucky winners this week are Ferhat Bezazel, the president of the RFI Butterflies Club Ain Kechera in W. Skikda, Algeria, and Nahid Hossain, a member of the Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh. Last but not least, RFI Listeners Club members Rasel Sikder from Madaripur, Bangladesh, and Father Steven Wara, who lives and serves in the Cistercian Abbey at Bamenda, Cameroon. Congratulations, winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Les Sauvages” from Jean Philippe Rameau's opera-ballet Les Indes Galantes; “Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here” by Theodora Morse and Arthur Sullivan, sung by the The Childen's Music Band; “Money Makes the World Go Around” from John Kander and Fred Ebb's musical Cabaret, sung by Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Azúcar pa' ti” by Eddy Palmieri, performed by Eddy Palmieri and La Perfecta.   Do you have a music request?

This Day in Legal History: Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation ActOn August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act into law, reshaping the American welfare system in ways that continue to spark debate. Billed as a way to "end welfare as we know it," the law imposed strict work requirements on recipients and introduced a five-year lifetime limit on federal benefits, regardless of economic conditions. The legislation replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), transforming a federal entitlement into a state-administered block grant system.Supporters of the reform hailed it as a bipartisan success, encouraging employment and reducing long-term dependency. But critics argue that the law eroded the social safety net and punished the poor, particularly single mothers and children, by prioritizing ideological goals over economic realities. States were given broad discretion in how to allocate funds, leading to uneven access and accountability. Many used their new flexibility not to expand support systems but to restrict eligibility and reduce caseloads, often with little evidence of improved outcomes.The law also failed to account for structural barriers to employment—such as childcare shortages, low wages, and racial discrimination—leaving many without support when they failed to meet work requirements. Moreover, the block grant's fixed funding has not kept pace with inflation or need, effectively shrinking welfare over time. While welfare rolls dropped sharply in the years following the reform, poverty did not—suggesting that many were simply pushed out of the system rather than lifted out of hardship. The 1996 law codified a narrative of moral failing over structural inequality, framing poverty as a matter of personal irresponsibility rather than systemic dysfunction.A federal judge ordered an immediate halt to new construction at the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center in Florida's Everglades. The facility, championed by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, was barred from accepting new detainees and required to dismantle supporting infrastructure—including generators, waste systems, fencing, and lighting—within 60 days. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, sided with environmental groups who argued the project violated federal, state, and local environmental laws.The detention center, estimated to cost $450 million annually and house up to 5,000 detainees, had drawn backlash for its location in a fragile wetland ecosystem populated by endangered species. Environmental advocates and some local leaders had long criticized the plan, noting it conflicted with decades of political pledges to protect and restore the Everglades. The Department of Homeland Security had tapped FEMA funds to support the project, raising additional controversy over funding priorities.In her ruling, Judge Williams emphasized that the project ran counter to longstanding legislative commitments to environmental protection. Florida has already filed an appeal, but environmental groups hailed the decision as a critical victory. Despite mounting opposition, Trump dismissed ecological concerns and reaffirmed his intent to replicate the model nationally as part of his broader immigration crackdown.Judge orders halt to new construction at 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center | ReutersAlligator Alcatraz Expansion Blocked for Harm to Environment (1)California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a pair of redistricting bills designed to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats—part of an aggressive political response to a newly passed gerrymandered map in Texas. Both states are now embroiled in legal and constitutional battles, as Republicans and Democrats seek to lock in partisan advantages ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Newsom also set a special statewide election for November 4, asking voters to approve the new map. If passed, it could flip up to five Republican-held House seats and secure four Democratic-leaning swing districts.California's strategy sidesteps its voter-created independent redistricting commission, which has been enshrined in the state constitution since 2010 to prevent political interference. Because of that, lawmakers are now required to get voter approval to implement their plan—creating a high-stakes ballot measure, Proposition 50. Republicans and good-government advocates, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Munger Jr., have vowed to fight the plan in court and on the ballot. A pending GOP lawsuit argues the legislature violated the state's 30-day waiting period for new bills, pushing through the redistricting effort without proper transparency.In Texas, the Republican-controlled legislature approved a new congressional map at the urging of President Trump, hoping to maintain a narrow House majority. Voting rights groups immediately challenged the plan, claiming it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by racially diluting Black and Latino voting power. The case will be heard by a federal three-judge panel in El Paso, with a likely fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court. Texas Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, deny any racial bias and argue the map reflects demographic shifts and Republican gains among minority voters.This escalating redistricting clash highlights the legal vulnerability of U.S. voting systems when partisan manipulation goes unchecked. Though the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal courts cannot weigh in on partisan gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering remains justiciable under the Voting Rights Act. Meanwhile, California Democrats are relying on voter sentiment—and Trump's unpopularity in the state—to justify a temporary abandonment of anti-gerrymandering principles.Explainer: The legal battles over redistricting in Texas and California | ReutersNewsom Signs California Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Republicans - The New York TimesA federal judge ruled that Alina Habba, President Trump's controversial appointee as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, had no legal authority to hold the office after her temporary term expired. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann found that the Trump administration violated federal law by firing Habba's court-selected successor, Desiree Grace, and then using a series of procedural maneuvers to reinstall Habba. These included appointing her as “special attorney,” then naming her first assistant U.S. attorney to invoke the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.Brann concluded that Habba was unlawfully performing the duties of U.S. Attorney as of July 1 and that her actions from that point forward “may be declared void.” The ruling blocks her from overseeing or participating in criminal cases, and it extends to prosecutors operating under her supervision. The judge criticized the administration's strategy as an attempt to bypass Senate confirmation entirely by exploiting loopholes in temporary appointment rules, warning that this interpretation could let the executive branch install preferred prosecutors indefinitely.The Trump-appointed Attorney General, Pam Bondi, vowed to appeal, and Brann stayed his ruling pending the outcome. Still, the decision casts a shadow over prosecutions under Habba's leadership, and some courts in New Jersey have already paused proceedings. Brann also rejected the idea that firing interim appointees before their terms expire could justify continual reappointments without oversight.Defense attorneys in the case that triggered the ruling argued that the executive branch cannot sidestep a process designed to check prosecutorial power through judicial or Senate involvement. Though the judge refused to throw out defendant Cesar Pina's indictment—since the investigation began before Habba's unlawful tenure—the ruling reinforces that prosecutorial authority must be rooted in lawful appointment.Alina Habba Blocked From Handling Cases in Rebuke to Trump (3)This week's closing theme is by Claude Debussy.This week's closing theme comes from Debussy, born on August 22, 1862—an apt choice as we mark the anniversary of his birth. Debussy was a revolutionary figure in Western music, often associated with Impressionism, though he rejected the label. He sought to break from the rigid structures of the Germanic tradition, instead favoring color, atmosphere, and suggestion over clear-cut form and resolution. His music evokes shifting light, fluid motion, and emotional ambiguity—more akin to poetry or painting than to classical architecture.One of his early works, Rêverie, composed in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the world he would come to define. The title means “daydream,” and the piece unfolds with a gentle, unhurried lyricism that floats outside of time. Though simple in construction, it is harmonically rich and emotionally resonant—hinting at the innovations to come in Clair de Lune, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, and Pelléas et Mélisande.Rêverie was one of Debussy's first pieces to gain public attention, though he later dismissed it as “a piece for salon use.” Listeners have disagreed ever since. Its introspective tone and delicate touch make it a lasting favorite among pianists and audiences alike. It feels like a whisper—never urgent, never insistent, always inviting. In that sense, it's a fitting farewell for the week: contemplative, unresolved, and open to interpretation.Without further ado, Claude Debussy's Rêverie enjoy! This is a public episode.

Spoken word poetry by Aleph Ba, with background music by Claude Debussy.

Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949) fue un destacado dramaturgo, poeta y ensayista belga de expresión francesa, reconocido como una de las figuras centrales del teatro simbolista. Nacido en Gante, Bélgica, el 29 de agosto de 1862, provenía de una familia acomodada y estudió Derecho en la Universidad de Gante. Sin embargo, su verdadera vocación surgió durante una estancia en París, donde se relacionó con escritores simbolistas como Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, lo que lo llevó a dedicarse plenamente a la literatura. Maeterlinck es considerado una figura clave del simbolismo, un movimiento que buscaba expresar lo inefable y lo espiritual a través de símbolos y atmósferas sugerentes. Sus obras teatrales, caracterizadas por un lenguaje poético y una ambientación onírica, exploran temas como la muerte, el destino y la búsqueda de sentido en la existencia humana. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran: La princesa Malena (La Princesse Maleine, 1889): su primera obra importante, que llamó la atención del crítico Octave Mirbeau. El intruso (L'Intruse, 1890) y Los ciegos (Les Aveugles, 1890): piezas breves que profundizan en la percepción y la espera. Pelléas y Mélisande (Pelléas et Mélisande, 1893): su obra más influyente, adaptada posteriormente por Claude Debussy en una ópera homónima. El pájaro azul (L'Oiseau bleu, 1908): una fábula teatral sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad, que se convirtió en su obra más popular y dio origen a la expresión "el pájaro azul de la felicidad". Además de su producción teatral, Maeterlinck escribió ensayos filosóficos y científicos, como La vida de las abejas (La Vie des abeilles, 1901), donde reflexiona sobre la naturaleza y la sociedad humana. En 1911, Maeterlinck recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura "en reconocimiento a su actividad literaria polifacética y, en particular, a sus obras dramáticas, que se distinguen por una rica imaginación y una fantasía poética que, a veces con la apariencia de un cuento de hadas, revelan una profunda inspiración y, de manera misteriosa, apelan a los sentimientos del lector y estimulan su imaginación". Mantuvo una relación sentimental y artística con la soprano Georgette Leblanc, quien interpretó varios de sus papeles femeninos y fue fuente de inspiración en su obra. Sin embargo, su relación terminó en 1918, y en 1919 contrajo matrimonio con Renée Dahon. Falleció el 6 de mayo de 1949 en Niza, Francia, a los 86 años. Su legado perdura como una de las voces más singulares de la literatura europea de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, influyendo en movimientos posteriores como el teatro del absurdo y el surrealismo. El pájaro azul: una fábula teatral sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad. Pelléas y Mélisande: una tragedia simbolista que inspiró a numerosos compositores. La vida de las abejas: un ensayo poético sobre la organización de las colmenas y su paralelismo con la sociedad humana.

Andrés Amorós dedica un cuarto programa a este pianista ruso muy respetuoso con la labor de los compositores. Andrés Amorós dedica este programa a las interpretaciones que Sviatoslav Richter realizó de Brahms y Debussy. Se subraya la filosofía del pianista ruso, que se consideraba a sí mismo un mero ejecutor al servicio de la obra, mostrando un respeto absoluto por la partitura y el compositor, por encima de cualquier lucimiento personal. Esta actitud le diferencia de otros virtuosos y define su enfoque artístico. En su acercamiento a Johannes Brahms, Richter exhibía una afinidad particular, prefiriéndolo incluso a Schumann. Su interpretación del Scherzo del Concierto para piano nº 2 es un ejemplo de su fuerza controlada y su renuncia al sentimentalismo. Richter aborda a Brahms con la potencia y la hondura requeridas, pero siempre manteniendo una sobriedad y una fidelidad extremas al texto musical. La selección de Claude Debussy demuestra la enorme versatilidad del pianista. Richter era capaz de adaptarse a estilos muy diferentes, recreando las atmósferas y el color del impresionismo francés. Se escuchan fragmentos de Cloches à travers les feuilles y L'Isle Joyeuse, piezas en las que el pianista logra evocar el misterio y la alegría jubilosa con una claridad y una técnica prodigiosas, sin perder la esencia etérea de la música. Finalmente, se destaca la figura de Richter como un artista único y enigmático, alejado de los circuitos comerciales y de la autopromoción. Su dedicación a la música por encima de todo queda reflejada en anécdotas como la creación de su propio festival en un granero en Francia, buscando la acústica y el ambiente perfectos. Se le recuerda como un intérprete puro más que como una estrella del piano.

”Debussy's Musical Alchemy Through Water” by Grand Master Raul Passos, from the “Art” issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. In this podcast, Raul Passos discusses how famed composer Claude Debussy used water as both inspiration and symbolic substance in his music to dissolve traditional forms, evoke mystical and emotional depth, and bridge sound with the spiritual and subconscious realms.

The story of French electronic music over the last hundred years is one of artistic and technical innovations that changed the course of contemporary music. The late 19th century stylistic inventions of GABRIEL FAURÉ, MAURICE RAVEL, and CLAUDE DEBUSSY led to the emergence of Impressionism and Minimalism in the 20th century—while the revolutionary innovations of ERIK SATIE laid the foundation for ambient background music and personal music for solo piano. At the same time, the invention of playable French electronic instruments like the “Ondes Martenot” in 1928, accelerated the arrival of live electronic performance, and the French brilliance in style and design produced exceptionally refined sonic and textural quality in recordings after mid-century. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a look at French ambient and electronic music from the 1970's to now, on a program called "AMBIANCE FRANÇAIS." Music is by DEBUSSY via TOMITA, JEAN MICHEL JARRE, THIERRY DAVID, CHRISTIAN WITTMAN, PAUL SAUVANET, and AIR. https://bit.ly/HOS-1394.
