One of the most revered and prolific British classical musicians, Thomas Adès made his name with his 1995 opera Powder Her Face, written when he was just 24 years old. His orchestral composition Asyla was nominated for the Mercury Prize for album of the year in 1999. Recordings of his opera The Tempest and, more recently, his score for the ballet The Dante Project have both won Grammy Awards. His ten symphonic works, three operas and numerous chamber pieces are performed all round the world. In 2024 Adès was presented with the Royal Philharmonic Society's prestigious Gold Medal, previous recipients of which include Stravinsky, Brahms and Elgar.Thomas Adès talks to John Wilson about the influence of his family, including his art historian mother who is an expert in surrealism. Through her he was introduced to the surrealist artists, the films of Luis Buñuel and met the painter Francis Bacon. His grandmother introduced him to the work of T.S. Eliot as read by Sir Alec Guinness on a cassette recording, and it was some of these poems that he was to eventually set to music for his first ever composition. Adès also recalls getting to the semi-finals of the BBC's Young Musician of the Year in 1990, a watershed moment for him as it prompted him to pursue music as a composer rather than a pianist. He also cites going regularly to the English National Opera as a formative influence and talks about writing his own operas including Powder Her Face about the Duchess of Argyll, and The Exterminating Angel, based on the film by Luis Buñuel.Producer: Edwina Pitman

Den veletablerte Big Bang teorien forteller at universet vi ser rundt oss oppstod i et «ursmell» for 13.8 milliarder år siden. Da var det ikke stort, men til gjengjeld veldig varmt. Siden har universet seg og utviklet galaksene, stjernene og alt vi ser rundt oss i dag.   Men Big Bang teorien sier ikke hva som smalt, hvorfor det smalt  eller hva som skjedde før det smalt. Hvis det da var noe før.   Men kosmologene har foreslått mange teorier for dette, og noen av disse diskuteres med podkastens huskosmolog.

Today we celebrate the recorded legacy of Hildegard Behrens, but from an unexpected angle. Like George London and Cesare Valletti, the last two artists heard on the podcast, she is best remembered today for her operatic portrayals. But like both London and Valletti, she was also a recitalist, although this was not, admittedly, a prominent part of her repertoire. Nevertheless, as a recitalist, as in everything she sang, she displayed a keen musical intelligence, a commitment to the inherent drama in the text, and an insistence upon truth in expression. Today, however, we hear the great Wagner and Strauss singer not only in songs by both of those composers, but also less-expected music, including Schumann's Frauenliebe und -leben, as well as songs by Bach, Elgar, and Zumsteeg. This material was featured in her Carnegie Hall recital debut in April 1985 and subsequently recorded in Paris at the legendary (and now no longer extant) Salle Wagram. This recording is supplemented by excerpts from three different orchestral song cycles, Les nuits d'été or Hector Berlioz, the Wagner Wesendonck-Lieder, and Berg's Sieben frühe Lieder. May this episode serve as a tantalizing Vorspiese to an upcoming episode celebrating the operatic career of the great Hildegard! 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 author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

No sé si cuando eras niño te gustaba ir al colegio. La mayoría, creo, que preferiríamos tener vacaciones perpetuas. Pasamos muchos años de nuestra infancia y adolescencia en el sistema educativo. Y como todo lo que se hace por obligación, no suele ir acompañado de mucho entusiasmo, pero es un tiempo que conforma tu vida. La novela de James Hilton (1900-1954), "Adiós, Mr. Chips", es una deliciosa historia, llena de humor y ternura, sobre un maestro de un colegio privado británico, que se siente frustrado por no haberse podido comunicar como quisiera con sus alumnos. El libro apareció primero como suplemento de un periódico evangélico en 1933, pero será cuando el escritor se establezca en Estados Unidos que adquiera gran popularidad al aparecer en la revista The Atlantic en 1934. Fue llevado dos veces al cine, una en el 39 y otra en el 69, por Sam Wood y Herbert Ross, respectivamente. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos de la obra, leída por Eugenio Barona y escenas de las dos películas, comentadas por José de Segovia con el fondo instrumental de la banda sonora original de John Williams para el filme protagonizado por Peter O´Toole y de Richard Addinsell para el que hace Robert Donat. Suena también la música de Michael Kamen para "Profesor Holland" (Mr. Holland´s Opus 1995), James Newton Howard para "El Club de los Emperadores" (The Emperor´s Club 2002) y Maurice Jarre para "El Club" o "Sociedad de los Poetas Muertos" (Dead Poets Society1989). Escuchamos las canciones de Petula Clark para la película que coprotagoniza con O´Toole en el 69 (Goodbye, Mr. Chips), después del himno "Jerusalem" con lo arreglos de Elgar para el texto del poeta romántico William Blake. Luego oímos el tema dedicado al "Colegio" del grupo Supertramp (School 1974) por el ahora fallecido Rick Davies y la canción de Sting para The Police sobre sus experiencias de maestro de escuela con adolescentes, al intentar que no se acerquen demasiado a él (Don´t Stand So Close To Me 1980). El diseño sonora y la realización técnica del programa es de Daniel Panduro.

Experience one of the greatest American choral works of all time, American composer Robert Nathaniel Dett's The Ordering of Moses, performed by hundreds of combined voices from the Fairfield County Chorale, Heritage Chorale of New Haven, and New Haven Chorale. From Music Director Perry So: “Finally after almost a century this great work is starting to receive its due. The Ordering of Moses was never forgotten – church choirs, community groups and others have kept the piece in our ears – but the first performance at Carnegie was only in 2014, and the British premiere in 2022. What remarkable sound worlds are contained in the piece: lush late-Romanticism with echoes of Wagner and Elgar, but as a context for the immediacy of the African-American spiritual that sounds stark and timeless. The sound of actual chains being pulled emanate from the orchestra against harmonies that dissolve into suggestions of near-Eastern scales. All in the service of the story and the emotion contained at the core of the work – a young Moses discovering his calling to lead his people out of slavery, perhaps the most eloquent musical cry against oppression in the American tradition.”

Bryan Ferry has been a very familiar voice for more than 50 years, as the co-founder of Roxy Music and as a solo artist and songwriter. When Roxy Music first appeared on Top of the Pops in 1972, millions of viewers suddenly saw something new: an extravagantly dressed band, featuring an early synthesizer, an oboe, and Bryan leading from an upright piano, wearing a sparkling black and green jacket. 'This one definitely arrived from Planet Mars', according to one critic. It was a performance which helped to propel Bryan to stardom, and a career which has produced two dozen studio albums, and numerous international hits, as well as explorations of jazz and the songs of Bob Dylan: his most recent release, Retrospective, includes a new version of Dylan's 1965 song She Belongs to Me. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Bryan reflects on his early days in County Durham, the role of his art school education and his approach to song writing. His musical choices include works by Prokofiev, Elgar, Mahler and Charlie Parker. Presenter Michael Berkeley Producer Clare Walker

What threatens American democracy and the rule of law? In her new book, Corporatocracy: How to Protect Democracy from Dark Money and Corrupt Politicians (NYU Press, 2024), legal scholar and campaign spending expert Ciara Torres-Spelliscy argues that the USA's privately-funded campaign finance system – combined with corporate greed and antidemocratic strains in the modern Republican Party – endangers American democracy. As she sees it, unseen political actors and untraceable dark money influence our elections, while anti-democratic rhetoric threatens a tilt towards authoritarianism. Drawing on key Supreme Court cases such as Citizens United, Professor Torres-Spelliscy explores how corporations have undermined democratic norms, practices, and laws. From bankrolling regressive politicians to funding ghost candidates with dark money, the book exposes how corporations subvert the will of the American people – yet courts struggle to hold corporate interests and corrupt politicians accountable. If American democracy is going to survive in the long term, then the deep pockets of the largest corporations cannot be allowed to join focus with the anti-democratic fringe. Professor Torres-Spelliscy fears a repeat of the January 6th insurrection – but with expansive corporate sponsorship. Professor Torres Spelliscy outlines the ways in which Corporate forces might be held accountable by the courts, their shareholders, and citizens themselves. Along with other reforms, she proposes a democracy litmus test that requires loyalty to democracy in politics and the economy. The end of the podcast features her insights on how oil interests crypto “techno bros” have invested in the outcome of the November 2024 election. Ciara Torres-Spelliscy is a Professor of Law at Stetson Law. She is also a Brennan Center Fellow at NYU Law School who has testified before Congress as an expert on campaign finance and has helped draft Supreme Court briefs. Previously, she authored Corporate Citizen (Carolina 2016) and Political Brands (Elgar 2019). She has recently written about public financing and the Eric Adams indictments and crypto spending in the 2024 election.

In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. Falling somewhere between his more restrained films about Elgar and Delius and his untamed biopics of Strauss and Liszt, in 1974 Ken Russell released a portrait of Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer Gustav Mahler and his silently suffering spouse Alma. We welcome back Russell's wife and collaborator Lisi Tribble Russell, who shares her insights on this low-key masterpiece and memories of her friendship with its star, the wonderful Georgina Hale.
