Podcasts about einojuhani rautavaara

Olli and Iiro got together to talk about Beethoven´s late string quartet no 13, Olli´s symphony no 2 and 3, EinoJuhani Rautavaara and many many other things.

Einojuhani Rautavaara voltooide zijn Vierde en laatste strijkkwartet in de zomer van 1975., ruim veertig jaar voor zijn dood. Inmiddels had hij zijn heil gezocht bij een nieuw romantisch-expressief geluid zoals dat bij tal van componisten in de loop van de jaren zeventig het geval was. Ook de jongere Deen Hans Abrahamsen kon zich in […]

Yule 2023 13th-21st Centuries This week we hear anonymous and traditional works and works by Nicolas Gombert, Jean Titelouze, Arcangelo Corelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann, Alexander Kastalsky, Arthur Honegger, Heinrich Kaminski, Leroy Anderson, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Agustín Barrios, John Rutter, Harold Darke, Mel Tormé, and David Foster. 206 Minutes – Week of 2023 December 25

The opening orchestral strains of Wagner's opera Lohengrin with its high shimmering strings prompted the French poet Charles Baudelaire to observe that in Wagner's music he found "something rapt and enthralling, something aspiring to mount higher, something excessive and superlative". The ability of music to evoke a sense of the ethereal has a strange and powerful effect on listeners, something that composers have been aware of across the ages. Tom Service examines how this music creates its affect and to what ends. He draws on examples from Hldegard of Bingen, Gregorio Allegri, Wolfgang Mozart, James Horner, Einojuhani Rautavaara and George Crumb - among others - and of course Richard Wagner.

CSO Artist-in-Residence Hilary Hahn returns for Sarasate's brilliant and sultry arrangement of Bizet's Carmen and two beguiling serenades by the late Finnish master Einojuhani Rautavaara. Returning conductor Thomas Adès frames the program with Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier Suite — a loving and graceful tribute to the Viennese waltz — and the profoundly stirring and vivid Night Ride and Sunrise by Sibelius. Please note: Conductor Thomas Adès will step in for Mikko Franck, who had to withdraw due to a knee injury, and lead the Orchestra in this program.

Eldbjørg Hemsing — Arctic (Sony Classical) New Classical Tracks - Eldbjørg Hemsing by “It's hard to describe with words what the Arctic is like, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to create this musical journey through the region,” Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing said. “I try to give an audio/visual experience with images when people listen to it.” Hemsing grew up about 60 miles from the Arctic Circle. In her new recording, Arctic, she offers a glimpse of its fragile beauty through the music of contemporary and traditional composers. “I come from a small village in the middle of nowhere. Six hundred people live in that area of wilderness, which is just beneath a big mountain chain. I grew up with my mom playing the violin,” she says. “My father was working in nature. So my upbringing was very much music and nature. That's the main inspiration for this album.” Many of the pieces on this album are trying to capture the beauty of the Arctic. “There are difficulties in the North regarding ice melting. The environment is changing. It's easy to lose hope and feel depressed. I wanted to try with this project to come from another angle and show the life and beauty that we need to preserve.” Could you walk us through Jacob Shea's Arctic Suite? “In the Arctic, it's important to try to show all the different sides. That's the musical journey in the piece. It starts with a frozen world. Everything's very quiet, harsh and frozen. But then as the sun returns, which happens around January, you can see life return to this region. “Slowly but surely, it happens. There's inspiration from the aurora borealis, giving a musical expression to the polar regions. With this piece, you can get a sense of a whole year in the Arctic Circle.” Does he also sing on that piece? “Yes. He wasn't supposed to. But when we were preparing the piece, he had so much power while singing. I felt strongly we needed this in the recording because it's raw and real.” Why did you include Einojuhani Rautavaara's Whispering? “I was thinking about the sound you get when you hear the winds howling up in the mountains. It carries so much meaning and expression, but it's quiet and round when it moves. It's almost like water in that sense.” Could you tell us about Henning Sommerro's Vårsøg? “This is a piece I grew up with. It's well known in Norway. The piece was made over a poem written in 1945, just as the world was starting to become normal again after the Second World War. The poem talks about hope for peace and a new start.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Synopsis John Lennon was born on today's date in the year 1940, in Liverpool, England — during a German air raid on that city, as it happened. With three other young lads from Liverpool, Lennon would eventually become world-famous, courtesy of the band he helped formed in 1959 called the Beatles. The Beatles started out in a Liverpool nightclub called the Cavern, playing pop tunes of the day, but soon began performing original material of their own. Before disbanding in 1970, some recognizable elements of classical music were incorporated into some Beatles songs, including a string quartet, a Baroque trumpet, and even an orchestra. And it wasn't just a one-sided exchange: Leonard Bernstein played a Beatles song on one of his “Young People's Concerts” to demonstrate sonata form. Arthur Fiedler performed symphonic arrangements of Beatles tunes at his Boston Pops concerts. And decades after the Beatles disbanded, former member Paul McCartney began composing original chamber works and big concert hall pieces, including a semi-autobiographical “Liverpool Oratorio.” Not surprisingly, some young British and American composers coming of age in the 1960s and 70s credit the Beatles as an influence. One elegant set of solo guitar arrangements of Lennon-McCartney tunes even came from Japan, courtesy of the eminent Japanese composer (and Beatles fan) Toru Takemitsu.

After studying in France, Germany and Italy, Rautavaara returned to Finland to serve as the Helsinki Kallio church cantor until 1922, then after, as a teacher at the Church Music Institute. His son, Einojuhani Rautavaara, was born in 1928 and went on to become one of Finland's most notable composers. The songs featured in this episode were recorded between 1905 and 1909.

This week, University of Arkansas music professor Lia Uribe brings us a soundtrack for the snow with music by Einojuhani Rautavaara, Astor Piazzolla and Irving Berlin, featuring performances by Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, Astor Piazzolla's Quintet and Billie Holiday.

Synopsis On today's date in 1999, the Lyric Opera of Chicago premiered a new opera by the American composer William Bolcom, based on “A View from the Bridge,” a powerful play by Arthur Miller. Now, not all stage plays “translate” well into opera, as Bolcom was well aware: “In theater, you have the text and then below it you have the subtext,” said Bolcom. “In opera it is pretty much the opposite, the subtext is what you are really dealing with first and foremost: big, raw emotions, which are supported by the text. In fact, Miller's play, although set in Brooklyn in the 1950s, has often been likened to a Greek tragedy, a theatrical form in which the chorus plays an important role. Bolcom saw that as a real opportunity: "If you are going to do an opera from a play, it better have a dimension that the play doesn't. In a play, you can't have your chorus speak because it is financially prohibitive: as soon as the chorus opens up its mouth the price goes up because of actors' equity. So, naturally one of the great resources of opera houses is an opera chorus, a resource you CAN use much more easily."

Hace casi 93 años, un 9 de octubre de 1928 nació el compositor finlandés Einojuhani Rautavaara. Protegido de Jean Sibelius, este compositor estudió con Aaron Copland, y así sus tendencias vanguardista le llevaron a experimentar con música electrónica en los años 70. En 1972, por encargo de la Universidad de Oulu, la de mayor prestigio en Finlandia, produjo una obra excepcional, subtitulada “Concierto para pájaros y orquesta”. Rautavaara, haciendo uso de las nuevas tecnologías condujo la idea de gorjeo a un nivel nuevo. Grabó en cintas magnetofónicas a determinados pájaros del círculo polar ártico y de los pantanos de Liminka, y manipuló los sonidos para mezclarlos con la orquesta, produciendo efectos capaces de erizar la piel de cualquier escucha. Hoy escucharemos de Einojuhani el segundo movimiento de éste concierto para pájaros llamado Melancolía de manos de la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio de Leipzig dirigida por Max Pommer.

This is the first of two episodes I have planned in honor of the great Finnish baritone Jorma Hynninen, who turns 80 in 2021. The focus today is on his work in opera. His stylistic range was unusually large: during the years in which he appeared internationally he triumphed in roles ranging from Mozart to Verdi to the title role in Eugene Onegin in opera houses around the world. What is perhaps less well-remembered is that he also was a phenomenal Pelléas and also a distinguished Wagnerian, singing Wolfram, Amfortas, and Kurwenal, among other parts. All of these are featured in today’s episode, as well as arias and scenes from operas by Strauss, Dallapiccola, and Hindemith. Jorma Hynninen made his greatest contribution to the field, however, in his legendary creations in the world of Finnish opera. The second portion of the program features excerpts of his performances in works by pioneers Leevi Madetoja and Aarre Merikanto and continues with roles he created in operas by Aulis Sallinen and Einojuhani Rautavaara. Though he retired from opera in 2012, he continues to concertize in Finland; in the fall of 2019 he embarked on a brief concert tour with a voice nearly untouched by the years. Mirella Freni, Hildegard Behrens, and Victoria de los Ángeles are also featured in the episode. Join me in an exploration of the operatic career of this extraordinary singer. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

But music and food help to understand, mourn, and accept.   Playlist: Music by Einojuhani Rautavaara, Lou Harrison and Ezio Bosso Text on time by: […]

Nieuwe CD's, oude platen, concerttips en archiefopnamen in de Late Night Show van Vrije Geluiden, gepresenteerd door Aad van Nieuwkerk.

En stad där klassisk musik regerar, Sibelius ande lever och där musikstudenternas förebilder är världsartister: dirigenterna Esa-Pekka Salonen och Susanna Mälkki och tonsättaren Kaija Saariaho. Birgitta Tollan gör självsvåldiga nedslag i musiklivet i sex städer: Reykjavik, New York, Oslo, Helsingfors, Berlin och Köpenhamn. Har vardera stad en speciell musiksjäl? Vi möter musiker, tonsättare, operachefer, operasångerskor, ensembler, programläggare, kritiker, festivaldirektörer och musikvetare. Det är dags för Helsingfors! Sopranen Tuuli Lindeberg är nöjd med den klassiska musikens ställning i Helsingfors, men gläds också åt det nya konserthus som byggs i stadens centrum. - Där kommer det att finnas plats för annat än klassisk musik: världsmusik, jazz, populärmusik, säger hon. Tonsättaren Lotta Wennäkoski utbildade sig först i violin i Budapest. Nu letar hon i sina kompositioner efter sitt eget smultronställe för att dela med sig av sina musikaliska berättelser till lyssnarna. - Musik är kommunikation, säger hon, och undrar varför inte Finland har lika många kvinnliga tonsättare som Sverige. 2017 uruppfördes Lotta Wennäkoskis stycke Flounce vid Last Night of the Proms med Sakari Oramo och BBCs Symfoniorkester.   Kimmo Korhonen, författare och musikvetare, förklarar det finska dirigentundret under professor Jorma Panula vid Sibelius-Akademin. - Det är enkelt: många orkestrar att öva på, träning med videokamera och urval av de mest lämpade, inte bara musikaliskt, utan även psykiskt, säger Kimmo Korhonen, som spårar en mjukare, t o m romantisk ådra hos tonsättare som Magnus Lindberg och Einojuhani Rautavaara.   - Det är väldigt mycket satslära i musikutbildningen, tycker tonsättaren Johan Tallgren, direktör för festivalen Musica Nova, som 2009 hade tema pluralismens New York. Tallgren bodde själv i New York i sju år och gläder sig åt att Finland långsamt blir musikaliskt multikulturellt med en mix av s k hög och låg kultur.   Maija Hynninen studerar komposition vid Sibeliusakademin. Hon har varit ordförande i föreningen Korvat auki, Öppna öron för yngre tonsättaren, som för 30 år sedan grundades av Esa-Pekka Salonen och Magnus Lindberg. - Grundutbildning i komposition vid Sibelius-Akademin är mycket tuffare än i andra nordiska länder. Efter flera års träning i melodik, harmonik och kontrapunktik får vi äntligen skapa vår egen stil. Men jag har jag lärt mig att uppskatta detta, berättar Maija Hynninen.   Låtlista: Untitled In CoF Minor A Valentine To Sherwood Anderson Mikhail/Gertrude Stein Mikhail. Gertrude Stein.

As part of Radio 3's Northern Lights season, Michael Berkeley's guest is the award-winning writer on the Polar Regions, Sara Wheeler. Sara Wheeler spent years resisting the magnetic North. She established her reputation with books about the South Pole, where the American Government appointed her writer-in-residence: she is the only person to have slept on Captain Scott's bunk, apart from that great Antarctic explorer of course. Her book about the Antarctic became an international best-seller, and she went on to write a biography of another Antarctic explorer, Apsley Cherry-Garrard. So it was not till middle age that she realized she couldn't resist the pull of the North Pole. Her book 'The Magnetic North' draws on journeys through Russia, Canada and Greenland, staying with the people who live within the Arctic Circle. She says 'The Antarctic, with its purity and beauty, symbolizes what the earth could be; the Arctic, which is peopled and polluted, symbolizes what the earth actually is. I was desperately trying to avoid the Arctic, but I realized as the years went by that for all its problems it was too important a part of the contemporary world for a writer to ignore.' For Private Passions, Sara Wheeler has compiled a playlist of music inspired by the sounds of the Arctic: the calls of Arctic birds, the sound of ice cracking. She includes rare archive of music made by indigenous peoples in Greenland, recorded in igloos there at the beginning of the 20th century, but very similar to the music she heard herself when travelling a few years ago. Composers include Prokofiev, Tippett, Vaughan Williams and Einojuhani Rautavaara, whose 'Cantus Arcticus' captures the sound of Arctic birds.
