ESSENTIEL – COTE JARDIN Jacques Benhamou reçoit l'écrivaine Catherine Hermary-Vieille pour son livre « Un rêve d'amour : Marie d'Agoult - Franz Liszt » aux éditions Intervalles. À propos du livre : « Un rêve d'amour : Marie d'Agoult - Franz Liszt » paru aux éditions Intervalles La brève et intense passion de Marie d'Agoult et Franz Liszt défraye la chronique des salons parisiens des années 1830. Au mépris des convenances et du qu'en dira-t-on, Marie d'Agoult décide de vivre au grand jour la folle passion qui la lie à Franz Liszt, l'un des grands génies musicaux de son époque. Entre Paris, Venise, Milan, Florence, Genève et Nohant, telle Anna Karénine, elle sacrifie tout à l'amour de cet homme qui lui-même sacrifie tout à son art et à son ascension personnelle. Évidemment, la haute société ne voit pas d'un très bon Å“il cette femme trop libre pour son temps dont le salon accueille de nombreux républicains : Grévy, Carnot, Littréâ€- et qui soutient ouvertement la première femme à devenir bachelière en France, Julie-Victoire Daubié. Deux des enfants nés de cette passion connaissent aussi des destins singuliers. Cosima épouse Richard Wagner et crée bientôt le festival de Bayreuth, tandis que Blandine épouse l'un des hommes politiques les plus singuliers du XIXe siècle, Émile Ollivier. En évoquant cette passion entre un musicien ambitieux et une aristocrate en rupture de ban, Catherine Hermary-Vieille nous entraîne dans le sillage des grandes figures de l'époque. George Sand évidemment, dont les deux amants sont proches, mais aussi Blanqui, Sainte-Beuve, Balzac, Lamartine, Théophile Gaultier, Alexandre Dumas. Elle compose surtout un roman ardent et documenté sur la passion entre une femme à qui la société ne pardonne pas sa liberté et un virtuose en quête de gloire. Un roman où dansent les grandes figures artistiques du XIXe siècle, que l'auteur nous rend familières voire intimes.

Send us a textYou know, Every generation has its superstar — the one who turns talent into legend, and performance into art.  For us, that might mean Elton John or Lady Gaga. But in the 1800s, one name ruled the musical world like a comet blazing across the sky: Franz Liszt.A man whose concerts caused hysteria, whose charm        melted hearts, and whose fingers seemed touched by lightning.So let's pull back the velvet curtain and step into the age of Lisztomania!Ghost soundMaestro Liszt, welcome.Thank you, Herr Bartley. Speaking across centuries is a strange delight — music is the bridge that time cannot burn.Let's begin at the beginning. You were born in 1811 in Raiding, Hungary, the son of a musician employed by the Esterházy family. How did music first enter your life?Ah, Monsieur Bartley, Music was like breathing. My father played cello, piano, violin — he introduced me to the piano, and I was performing publicly at nine. By eleven, I studied with Czerny in Vienna, a pupil of Beethoven himself. The training was rigorous, but awe-inspiring.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

This Day in Legal History: O.J. “Not Guilty”On October 3, 1995, a Los Angeles jury returned one of the most controversial and widely watched criminal verdicts in American history: O.J. Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. The trial, which lasted more than eight months, captivated the nation with its blend of celebrity, race, police misconduct, and media spectacle. The prosecution presented DNA evidence linking Simpson to the crime scene, while the defense, led by Johnnie Cochran, argued that Simpson was framed by a racist LAPD, particularly Detective Mark Fuhrman.Cochran's now-famous line — “If it doesn't fit, you must acquit” — referred to a moment when Simpson tried on gloves allegedly worn during the murders, and they appeared not to fit. The defense used that moment to cast further doubt on the prosecution's case. The jury deliberated for less than four hours before acquitting Simpson, prompting strong reactions across racial and social lines.The case exposed deep divisions in American society, particularly around race and policing. It also helped usher in the era of the 24-hour news cycle and reality-style courtroom coverage, with networks like CNN and Court TV devoting extensive airtime to the trial. The not-guilty verdict did not end Simpson's legal troubles: in 1997, a civil jury found him liable for wrongful death and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages.Apple confirmed it has removed the ICEBlock app and similar tools from its App Store following pressure from the Trump administration and Attorney General Pam Bondi. ICEBlock allowed users to report and track the locations of ICE officers through crowdsourced data. Bondi stated the app endangered law enforcement officers and crossed a line by facilitating potential violence.The Department of Justice supported the move, citing safety concerns. This action followed an exposé by right-wing influencer Laura Loomer, who outed the creator of a similar app, Red Dot, and accused the platforms of enabling violence against ICE agents. Loomer also claimed that a recent deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE facility involved the use of such tracking apps.Apple defended its decision, stating it aims to keep the App Store a “safe and trusted” space, and that ICEBlock violated policies by potentially enabling harm to law enforcement. The app's developer, Joshua Aaron, criticized the removal, comparing it to how apps like Apple Maps crowdsource speed trap locations. He argued that his app was protected by the First Amendment and that Apple's action was a concession to authoritarian demands.Tech Giant Apple Bows to MAGA Demands and Removes ICE Tracking AppsOpenAI filed a motion in federal court to dismiss a trade secret lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI. The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco, accuses OpenAI of deliberately poaching xAI employees to gain access to confidential information about Grok, xAI's chatbot, which the company claims surpasses ChatGPT in performance.OpenAI rejected the allegations, calling them baseless and part of Musk's “ongoing harassment” campaign against the company. In its filing, OpenAI argued that employees are free to leave xAI and work wherever they choose, and that it is within its rights to hire them. The company suggested xAI's legal actions are designed to cover up its internal struggles and inability to retain talent.This case is one of several legal battles unfolding between Musk and OpenAI. Musk has also filed a separate suit accusing OpenAI of abandoning its original nonprofit mission. In turn, OpenAI has countersued Musk for harassment. Meanwhile, xAI has sued Apple, claiming it colluded with OpenAI to suppress competition—an accusation both companies deny and are also seeking to dismiss.OpenAI's legal response characterized xAI's complaint as a distraction from its own failings and a tactic to slow down competitors in the heated race for dominance in the AI industry.OpenAI asks court to dismiss trade-secret lawsuit from Musk's xAI | ReutersU.S. District Judge Michael Simon recused himself from a case challenging President Donald Trump's decision to deploy Oregon's National Guard to Portland. The Trump administration had raised concerns over public comments made by Simon's wife, Representative Suzanne Bonamici, criticizing the deployment as a “gross abuse of power.” To avoid any appearance of bias, Judge Simon opted to step aside, stating the case should remain focused on its core constitutional and legal questions.The lawsuit, filed by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, seeks to block Trump's use of state National Guard troops, arguing it is illegal and driven by political motives. The complaint alleges Trump is exaggerating protest threats to justify federal overreach and seize control of state forces. The case has been reassigned to Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.Bonamici, whose district includes much of Portland, made her critical remarks during a press conference with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek. The Department of Justice cited her comments in its request for Simon's recusal, arguing they could undermine public confidence in judicial impartiality.A hearing is scheduled for Friday on Oregon's request for a temporary restraining order. Similar legal challenges are underway in California and Washington, D.C., where federal troop deployments have also faced pushback. A California judge previously ruled Trump's actions unlawful, but that decision is currently on hold pending appeal. The D.C. case remains unresolved.Judge recuses himself from Oregon National Guard case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven, a composer of some note.This week, we close with Franz Liszt's transcription (S. 464) of the first movement—Allegro con brio—from Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21. Originally premiered in 1800, this symphony marked Beethoven's formal debut in the genre, and even in its first movement, we hear the young composer testing the boundaries of the Classical form inherited from Haydn and Mozart. The opening chords start in the “wrong” key—a bold harmonic gesture that signaled Beethoven's intent to shake things up, even as he worked within a familiar structure.Liszt, the great 19th-century virtuoso and composer, took on the monumental task of transcribing all nine of Beethoven's symphonies for solo piano. The transcription of the First Symphony, catalogued as S. 464, is part of that sweeping project. These arrangements were not simply meant to showcase Liszt's pianistic brilliance (though they certainly do); they were a way to bring Beethoven's orchestral works into the drawing rooms and salons of Europe—before widespread orchestral performance or recording technology.In Liszt's hands, the Allegro con brio becomes a brilliant piano showpiece, retaining the symphony's rhythmic drive, thematic clarity, and structural ingenuity. He translates orchestral texture into ten fingers with remarkable fidelity, using tremolos, arpeggios, and dramatic dynamic shifts to recreate the energy of strings, winds, and brass. The transcription is virtuosic but never flashy for its own sake—it's an homage from one revolutionary to another.Beethoven's First Symphony bridges the Classical and Romantic eras, and Liszt's solo piano version builds a new bridge, connecting orchestral grandeur to the intimacy of a single performer. It's a reminder of both composers' commitment to pushing musical expression forward. As you listen, you may forget it's just one person at a piano—Liszt makes the entire orchestra sing.We leave you this week not only with Beethoven's bold opening statement to the symphonic world, but with Liszt's brilliant act of translation—a distillation of power, wit, and elegance, all under a single keyboard.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21 – the first movement.

Interpreten:Benedict Kloeckner, Kai SchumacherLabel: Berlin ClassicsEAN: 885470041162Der estnischeKomponist Arvo Pärt gehört unbestritten zu den bedeutendsten Tonsetzern unsererZeit. Vor wenigen Tagen hat er seinen 90. Geburtstag gefeiert und auch unsereCD der Woche steht in engem Zusammenhang mit seiner Musik, auch wenn „nur“ einStück tatsächlich von Pärt stammt. Mehr über die CD Fratres mit BenedictKloeckner und Kai Schumacher verrät Ihnen wieder Michael Gmasz.1977, am Beginn der Entwicklung seines TintinnabuliStils, hat Arvo Pärt sein Werk Fratres komponiert. Heute gehört es neben FürAlina und Spiegel im Spiegel, ebenfalls in dieser Zeit entstanden, zu den beliebtestenund meistgespielten Werken aus seiner Feder. Cellist Benedict Kloeckner und PianistKai Schumacher haben dieses Werk nicht nur als Titel ihrer neuen CD gewählt,sondern nehmen Fratres auch als Ausgangspunkt für ein spannendes Programm mit „PärtsBrüdern und Schwestern“ im musikalischen Geiste. Auch bei den Werken von PhilipGlass, Christopher Cerrone, Gavin Bryars, Valentin Silvestrov, Olivier Messiaen,Franz Liszt, Sophia Jani und Kai Schumacher selbst steht der Klang und dieReduktion auf das Wesentliche im Mittelpunkt.Vermeintlich simple Linien, die durch Transformation undVariation zum Leben erweckt werden, prägen den Hauptteil der Musik auf dieserCD. Mein persönliches Highlight nebst A Line von Kai Schumacher selbst, ist ThePleasure at being the cause des 1984 geborenen Christopher Cerrone. Auch erscheint sich das „Tintinnabulische“ Pärts als Vorlage genommen zu haben undsetzt seine Töne einem Glockenspiel gleich. Die Musik auf dieser CD fasziniertmich auf mehreren Ebenen – Sie hat etwas absolut Beruhigendes und gleichzeitig Aufwühlendes,ist mal düster und im nächsten Moment gleich wieder erhellend, wirkt einfach imSpiel und ist doch hoch virtuos. Wunderschön auch, wie sich Franz Liszts SanctaDorothea in der Bearbeitung von Kai Schumacher zu den zeitgenössischen Werkengesellt, und doch einen harmonischen und atmosphärischen Kontrast bietet. EinAlbum, das zum uneingeschränkten Zuhören einlädt, mit Struktur, Idee undperfekter Dramaturgie. (mg)

Entre um passeio e outro, ele mergulhou na leitura da Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri. Foi aí que nasceu a ideia de transformar esse épico literário em música – mas não apenas música: Liszt queria juntar som, poesia e até artes visuais. Teve até planos malucos, como projetar imagens em lanterna mágica durante o concerto e usar uma máquina de vento experimental para simular as rajadas do Inferno. Isso em 1850 e poucos! Visionário demais, né?Em 1855, ele escreveu para o amigo e futuro genro, Richard Wagner, contando sobre a obra que estava compondo. A ideia era uma sinfonia em três movimentos: Inferno, Purgatório e Paraíso. Só que Wagner deu aquele pitaco clássico: disse que o Paraíso não podia ser representado em música. Liszt até aceitou o conselho – meio a contragosto – e deixou o último movimento em aberto, reduzindo-o a um coro feminino com trechos do Magnificat.A estreia rolou em 7 de novembro de 1857, no Teatro Real de Dresden, com o próprio Liszt regendo. E olha… foi um fiasco! Faltou ensaio, a imprensa caiu matando e até amigos próximos ficaram com o pé atrás. Mas a obra sobreviveu ao tempo e hoje é considerada uma das mais ousadas tentativas de unir literatura e música no século XIX.

Sein Urururgroßvater war Moses Mendelssohn, der Großvater von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Niklas Schmidt konnte als Musiker also gar nicht anders, als sich mit diesem Namen und der Musik Mendelssohn Bartholdys zu beschäftigen. Auch Schmidt ist in Hamburg geboren, Felix Mendelssohn ging dann nach Berlin, Düsseldorf und Leipzig, und Schmidt ist mit seinem Cello durch die ganze Welt gereist, gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den gefragtesten Cellisten und Kammermusikern. In Hamburg kommen beide Künstler immer wieder zusammen, beim International Mendelssohn Festival, dessen Künstlerischer Leiter Schmidt ebenfalls ist. In diesem September gibt es wieder zehn Tage lang Kammermusik mit Werken vom Barock bis ins 20. Jahrhundert - Musik von Komponisten, die Mendelssohn beeinflusst haben oder die er beeinflusst hat; Musik, wie sie in den Salons der Zeit erklungen ist oder sein könnte. Eine besondere Rolle spielen dabei die großen Klaviervirtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts, allen voran Frédéric Chopin und Franz Liszt. Im "Salonkonzert" zur Eröffnung des Festivals am 10. September kann man beide von einer weniger bekannten Seite erleben.

For a while out there it looked as though Charles Leclerc and Ferrari would spoil the day of McLaren-Mercedes. As the wind blew from the west, rather than the east, Leclerc had taken the pole in the closing seconds of Q3.  And, from the start, he appeared to be in control: Oscar Piastri sat in his mirrors but Lando Norris fell back in the wake of George Russell's Mercedes.  Then, almost inevitably, it went wrong: Charles stopped early for his second set of Hard Pirellis and was thereafter never in the hunt: with floor damage, his Ferrari was over a second-a-lap off the pace.  It then became a straight fight between the two McLaren drivers, with Zak Brown allowing them to race to the finish. Piastri, on a two-stop strategy, had the performance advantage - but Norris, on a one-stopper, had the advantage of track position.  In this podcast, Peter looks back at the key elements not only of that race to the chequered flag but also of the weekend as a whole - at the amazing pole of Charles Leclerc, the dismal pace of Red Bull and the wretched weekend of Sir Lewis Hamilton.With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo OEM Exclusive, the passionate suppliers of OEM upgrades for exotic and high-performance vehiclesTo TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.

Tonight, we'll read about the musical genius Franz Liszt as a child piano prodigy from the book “Life of Liszt” written by Ludwig Nohl. Liszt was a Hungarian composer, pianist and teacher of the Romantic era. He gained renown during the early nineteenth century for his virtuoso skill as a pianist. Since he often appeared three or four times a week in concert, it could be safe to assume that he appeared in public well over a thousand times during one eight year period. During his virtuoso heyday, Liszt was described by the writer Hans Christian Andersen (who has written many fairy tales featured by Snoozecast) as a "slim young man...[with] dark hair hung around his pale face". He was seen as handsome by many, with a German poet writing concerning his showmanship during concerts: "How powerful, how shattering was his mere physical appearance". — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

he German poet and journalist Heinrich Heine coined the term “Lisztomania” on 25th April 1844 to describe the phenomenon of frenzied fandom in Europe where women would physically assault Franz Liszt by tearing his clothes, fighting over broken piano strings and locks of his shoulder-length hair. Heine said there was something about Liszt's performances that “raised the mood of audiences to a level of mystical ecstasy” – which seemed to be a result of the combination of his good looks, his charisma and his stage presence. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Liszt created an almost parasocial relationship with his fan base; investigate why critics are still reproving of expressive concert pianists to this day; and discuss whether the Heine was trying to extort money from performers like Liszt in exchange for better reviews…  Further Reading: • ‘The Virtuoso Liszt' (Cambridge University Press, 2002): The Virtuoso Liszt - Google Books: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Virtuoso_Liszt/koSQAjlxeOIC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=lisztomania&pg=PA203&printsec=frontcover • ‘Forget the Beatles – Liszt was music's first “superstar”' (BBC Culture, 2016): https://shorturl.at/eipIP • ‘Lisztomania: the 19th-century pop phenomenon that made Beatlemania look tame' (The Telegraph, 2019): https://shorturl.at/lwNOP • ‘Before Beatlemania, There Was Lisztomania' (Great Big Story, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sjCA8OPobw  Love the show?
