Podcast appearances and mentions of Franz Schubert

Er war kein „Klaviertiger“, der mit Chopin oder Rachmaninow überwältigte. Seine Welt war die Wiener Klassik und vor allem die Musik von Franz Schubert. Ein tönendes Porträt des Pianisten Alfred Brendel, der nun mit 94 Jahren gestorben ist.

durée : 01:28:43 - Une heure et plus, un compositeur : Franz Schubert - par : Aurélie Moreau - Né en 1797 à Vienne, mort à seulement 31 ans, Schubert laisse une œuvre immense. Musicien discret, il compose dans l'ombre de Beethoven, mais sa voix unique, mêlant tendresse, mélancolie et fulgurances harmoniques, marque à jamais l'histoire de la musique.

Jeden Tag treffen sie sich zum Üben: die beiden französischen Pianisten Manuel Vieillard und David Salomon. Mit Erfolg! Sie haben 2021 nämlich den ARD-Musikwettbewerb als Klavierduo gewonnen. Im BR-KLASSIK Interview spricht Manuel Vieillard über seinen Duopartner, der für ihn mittlerweile wie ein Bruder ist und über ihr gemeinsames Mammutprojekt: nämlich das gesamte vierhändige Klavierwerk von Franz Schubert einzuspielen.

Robert Knöll ist Kunsthistoriker und Bilderrahmer. In seinem Atelier, das die grösste Sammlung barocker Bilderrahmen beherbergt, setzt er Kunstwerke gekonnt in Szene. Kunstsammler, Museen und Galerien vertrauen ihm, wenn es darum geht, berühmte Werke in den passenden Rahmen zu setzen. Ein Handwerk, das in seiner Familie eine lange Tradition hat: Schon sein Vater war ein leidenschaftlicher Sammler und Bilderrahmer. Nach dessen Tod übernahm Robert Knöll den Familienbetrieb, doch für ihn war dieser Schritt weit mehr als nur berufliche Verantwortung – er war eine Bestimmung. «Die Beschäftigung mit Bilderrahmen ist nicht nur mein Beruf, es ist meine Passion», sagt Robert Knöll, und es ist spürbar, dass diese Leidenschaft weit über den Arbeitsalltag hinausgeht. In seinen Träumen erscheinen Bilderrahmen, die ihn in seiner Freizeit genauso begleiten wie im Beruf. Wenn es darum geht, ein berühmtes Kunstwerk neu zu rahmen, reist er zu Museen in ganz Europa, um die perfekte Wahl zu treffen. Es fasziniert ihn immer wieder, wie die Wirkung eines Bildes sich verändert, je nachdem, wie es gerahmt wird. Bereits als Kind war Robert Knöll von Archäologie begeistert – der Blick hinter die oberste Schicht, das Entdecken von Geschichte und Kultur. Diese Faszination für Details und den Kontext von Kunstwerken zieht sich durch sein gesamtes Leben und wirkt sich auf seine Arbeit aus. In «Musik für einen Gast» bei Eva Oertle spricht Robert Knöll über seine Faszination für alte Rahmen und erklärt, warum sie oft im Schatten der eigentlichen Kunstwerke stehen. Er erzählt von einem besonderen Stück aus seiner Kindheit – einem echten Donatello, der über seinem Bett hing und heute einen Platz in einem Museum hat. Und er spricht über seine Liebe zum Cello und der Musik von Brahms. Die Musiktitel: 1. Johannes Brahms Cello Sonate No. 1 in E Moll, 1. Satz Pieter Wispelway, Cello / Dejan Lazić, Piano 2.

THE MUSIC OF EASTER—with its traditional themes of death and rebirth—touches the extremes of the emotional spectrum, from deepest anguish to radiant joy. Over the past 40 years, Hearts of Space has often celebrated this special holiday with the help of our longtime guest producer for classical and sacred music, ELLEN HOLMES. This year, once again, Ellen brings us a collection of sublime choral and instrumental music for Easter, on a program she calls “OF SOUND AND SPIRIT.” “Traditionally,” she says, “on Easter Sunday and during the week before Easter—concerts of majestic music are performed all over the world…celebrating the miracle…of life's eternal renewal. This special Easter program follows that tradition, featuring exceptionally beautiful pieces and performances from ancient to contemporary.” With music by FRANZ SCHUBERT, HENRIK ØDEGAARD, JORDI SAVALL, J.S. BACH, SIGVALDI KALDALÓNS, GUSTAVE MAHLER, MAX RICHTER, CHARLES GOUNOD, and others. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

I have been fascinated for years by operas performed in the vernacular, a phenomenon which was common in Germany until quite recently. Even more interesting in many ways is the performance of art song in the language of the audience. Some time ago I produced an episode featuring the Lieder of Franz Schubert performed in both French and Russian translation. As a supplement to that episode, I present here two of the featured artists from that episode, the French baryton martin Camille Maurane (1911 – 2010) and the Russian lyric tenor Ivan Kozlovsky (1900 – 1993), quintessential representatives of their respective vocal categories, both of whom happened to live well into their nineties. They are featured singing the songs of Schubert in their native languages in recordings made between 1946 and 1962. Certain songs are sung by both artists, allowing one to make direct comparisons between their very different vocal styles. In addition I feature excerpts from Schubert's two supreme masterpieces, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, the latter excerpts sung in Finnish, Swedish, and English, with an additional shocking surprise before the end. The episode begins with brief memorial tributes to three significant musicians who have died recently: composer William Finn, basso buffo Peter Strummer, and Heldentenor Peter Seiffert. 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.” 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.

«Ein Roman in vier Teilen mit himmlischer Länge» - so bezeichnete Robert Schumann die Sinfonie Nr. 8 in C-Dur von Franz Schubert. Das sinfonische Meisterwerk, auch bekannt als die «Grosse C-Dur», galt mit einer Dauer von etwa einer Stunde zu Schuberts Lebzeiten als das längste Instrumentalwerk überhaupt. Die Sinfonie beeindruckt noch heute mit ihrer epischen Länge und künstlerischen Tiefe. Ihre Entstehungsgeschichte war lange Zeit unklar: Obwohl das Manuskript das Jahr 1828, Schuberts Todesjahr, trägt, geht man davon aus, dass das Werk früher komponiert wurde. Schubert hat die Sinfonie allerdings nie gehört, sie wurde nicht aufgeführt, da sie als «unspielbar» und zu lang galt. Erst 1839 wurde sie von Robert Schumann entdeckt und im gleichen Jahr von Felix Mendelssohn im Gewandhaus Leipzig uraufgeführt. In der Diskothek stehen fünf Interpretationen von Schuberts Grosser C-Dur-Sinfonie zur Diskussion. Gäste von Eva Oertle sind die Musikpublizistin Verena Naegele und der Dirigent Manuel Oswald.

She prevented war and death on an immense scale, in acts that could earn the Nobel Peace Prize today. But History enshrined Sisi, Empress of Austria, as a vain beauty queen. The smear campaign was personal, not political: it started with her own tyrannical mother-in-law. Can Sisi conquer her own self-doubt, and drag draconian Austria into the modern world? Our guest is Nancy Goldstone, author of The Rebel Empresses: Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France, Power and Glamor in the Struggle for Europe. _________________ Music in the episode includes works by Johann Strauss, Joseph Suk, Giuseppe Verdi, Bedrich Smetana, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, and Kevin MacLeod.

The baritone Benjamin Appl has recorded an album for Alpha that combines the music of György Kurtág with that of Franz Schubert. 'Lines of Life: Schubert & Kurtág' is the result of a long process that started with Kurtág choosing the singer for this unique project and working with him on the music, and finally producing the recording - and even playing the piano for Appl in two songs that close the programme. James Jolly met up with Benjamin Appl – a former Gramophone Young Artist of the Year – to talk about the album, but also about another recording that's on the horizon, his tribute to his teacher, and one of the great Lieder singers of the post-war period, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the 100th anniversary of whose birth falls in May. This Gramophone Podcast is given in association with Wigmore Hall

Runde Geburtstage und Gedenkjahre mögen vorbereitet werden. Das hat sich vermutlich Ammiel Bushakevitz gedacht mit Blick auf Franz Schubert. Denn im Jahr 2028 steht dessen 200. Todestag im Kalender. Den israelischen Pianisten kennt die internationale Musikwelt bisher vor allem als herausragenden Liedbegleiter. Aber mit Blick auf das Schubertjahr hat sich Bushakevitz nicht nur fünf Liederalben mit dem Bariton Samuel Hasselhorn vorgenommen, sondern die Aufnahme aller Solowerke für Klavier. Nun ist die zweite CD mit dem Titel "Fantasies" erschienen.

This Day in Legal History: 13th Amendment PassedOn January 31, 1865, the U.S. Congress passed the 13th Amendment, formally abolishing slavery in the United States. The amendment declared that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." While President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had freed enslaved people in Confederate-held territories two years earlier, it lacked the permanence of a constitutional amendment. The House of Representatives passed the measure by a vote of 119 to 56, narrowly reaching the required two-thirds majority after intense political maneuvering. The Senate had already approved it in April 1864. Ratification by the states followed, culminating in its adoption on December 6, 1865. The amendment marked a legal end to slavery, but systemic racial discrimination persisted through Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, and other restrictive measures. Despite this, the 13th Amendment laid the foundation for future civil rights advancements. Its passage was a key victory for abolitionists and a defining moment of the Civil War's aftermath. The amendment's "punishment for crime" clause later became a subject of controversy, as it allowed convict leasing and forced labor in prisons, disproportionately affecting Black Americans. Even today, debates continue over its implications for the U.S. prison system.Fox Rothschild LLP has blocked its lawyers from using DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, due to concerns about client data security. While the firm allows AI tools like ChatGPT with restrictions, DeepSeek's data storage in China raises unique risks, according to Mark G. McCreary, the firm's chief AI and information security officer. A recent data breach involving DeepSeek further heightened security concerns. Other major law firms, including Wilson Sonsini and Polsinelli, are also implementing strict vetting processes for new AI models. Wilson Sonsini requires its chief information security officer and general counsel to approve AI tools before use, while Polsinelli enforces firm-wide restrictions on unapproved AI software. Law firms are also monitoring AI use by third-party vendors to ensure compliance with security protocols. McCreary emphasized that established legal tech companies prioritize data protection, reducing the risk of firms switching to less secure AI models.Fox Rothschild Blocks DeepSeek's AI Model for Attorney UseA federal appeals court has ruled that the U.S. government's ban on licensed firearms dealers selling handguns to adults under 21 is unconstitutional. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a previous ruling, citing the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which requires modern gun laws to align with historical firearm regulations. The federal ban, enacted in 1968, was challenged by young adults and gun rights groups, who argued it violated the Second Amendment. Judge Edith Jones, writing for the court, found insufficient historical evidence to justify restricting gun sales for 18-to-20-year-olds. The ruling marks a major shift in gun policy, aligning with broader legal trends expanding Second Amendment protections. The Justice Department, which defended the ban under the Biden administration, has not yet commented on the decision. Gun rights advocates hailed the ruling as a victory against age-based firearm restrictions.US ban on gun sales to adults under age 21 is unconstitutional, court rules | ReutersIn a piece for Techdirt, Karl Bode critiques the Trump FCC's decision to roll back efforts to curb exclusive broadband deals between landlords and internet providers. The Biden FCC had attempted to update outdated rules that allowed ISPs to form monopolies within apartment buildings, driving up prices and reducing competition. However, due to delays caused by industry opposition and the failed nomination of reformer Gigi Sohn, key proposals—including a ban on bulk billing—were left unapproved. When Brendan Carr took over as FCC chair under Trump, he quickly scrapped these pending consumer protections. Bode argues that U.S. telecom policy is stuck in a cycle where Democrats make half-hearted attempts at reform, only for Republicans to dismantle them entirely under the guise of deregulation. The result is a landscape where telecom giants and landlords continue to collude, leaving consumers with fewer choices, higher costs, and poor service.The Trump FCC Makes It Easier For Your Landlord And Your ISP To Collude To Rip You Off | TechdirtBally's Chicago casino project is facing a legal challenge over its commitment to reserving 25% of its investment opportunities for women and people of color. Conservative activist Edward Blum, known for spearheading lawsuits against affirmative action, filed the suit on behalf of two white men who claim they were unfairly excluded from investing. The lawsuit argues that the policy violates federal civil rights law and should be open to all investors regardless of race. This case is part of a broader push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which gained momentum after a recent executive order from President Trump eliminating DEI programs in the federal government. Bally's maintains that its agreement with the city complies with legal requirements. The lawsuit references an 1866 civil rights law originally meant to protect Black Americans' economic rights and is similar to other cases challenging race-conscious corporate policies. Blum's organization has previously led legal battles against diversity-focused scholarships, grants, and hiring programs, including the Supreme Court case that struck down race-based college admissions in 2023.America's Battle Over DEI Strikes a Chicago Casino's Financing PlanThis week's closing theme is by Franz Schubert.Franz Schubert, one of the most beloved composers of the early Romantic era, was born on this day in 1797 in Vienna, Austria. Though he lived only 31 years, his vast output of music—ranging from symphonies and chamber works to piano music and over 600 songs—continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike. Schubert's music is often characterized by its lyricism, rich harmonies, and deep emotional expression, seamlessly bridging the clarity of the Classical era with the passion of Romanticism.Despite his immense talent, Schubert struggled with financial stability and never achieved widespread fame during his lifetime. He spent much of his career composing in relative obscurity, supported by a close-knit circle of friends and fellow artists. His songs, or lieder, are especially celebrated for their ability to capture both the beauty and melancholy of the human experience, with works like Erlkönig and Winterreise standing as some of the greatest achievements in the genre.His instrumental music, however, remained underappreciated until long after his death. Today, his symphonies, string quartets, and piano sonatas are recognized as masterpieces, filled with lyrical beauty and striking contrasts. Among his later works, the Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959 showcases his mature style, blending elegance with deep introspection. The final movement, Rondo: Allegretto, serves as this week's closing theme, capturing both Schubert's charm and his poignant sense of longing.Though he died in 1828, just a year after Beethoven, Schubert's influence only grew in the decades that followed. Composers like Schumann, Brahms, and even Mahler admired his work, helping to cement his legacy as one of music's great geniuses. Today, on the anniversary of his birth, we celebrate the life and music of a composer who, despite facing struggles and setbacks, left behind an extraordinary body of work that continues to resonate across centuries.Without further ado, Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959.  This is a public episode.

These days I find myself in a pensive, troubled state, very much in need of the kind of consolation that only music can provide. A number of years ago, I published a pair of episodes featuring the sublime Margaret Price performing music of mourning and consolation. Today's episode presents an expanded and refurbished version of the second of those episodes, in a program composed entirely of art song, moving through a sequence of emotions surrounding loss. Composers include Johannes Brahms, Giuseppe Verdi, Robert Schumann, Enrique Granados, Franz Schubert, Grace Williams, Sergei Rachmaninov, Felix Mendelssohn, Philip Cannon, Hugo Wolf, Alban Berg, Maurice Ravel, Franz Liszt, Peter Cornelius, and Richard Strauss, and collaborating pianists and conductors include Claudio Abbado, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Cyprien Katsaris, Geoffrey Parsons, and Neville Marriner, as well as frequent collaborators James Lockhart and Thomas Dewey.

The New Year is off to a predictably challenging start. Everywhere we look (California, Canada, New Orleans, and beyond) dreadful things are happening. I am offering in the spirit of solace and condolence a freshly refurbished and expanded bonus episode that I first published three and a half years ago as a pendant to another all-Schubert episode. This one presents all of the songs collected in the posthumously-published song collection Schwanengesang, that includes settings of poems by Ludwig Rellstab, Heinrich Heine, and Johann Gabriel Seidl. Many of Schubert's late Seidl settings were not included in that collection but they number among Schubert's most inspired and moving creations. I have included six of those settings at the beginning of the episode. These magnificent and transcendent songs are performed by exceptional baritones and bass-baritones in recordings spanning the course much of the twentieth century. Singers include Alexander Kipnis, Hans Hotter, Mark Reizen, Hermann Prey, Heinrich Schlusnus, Charles Panzéra, Andrzej Hiolski, Walter Berry, Benjamin Luxon, George London, Tom Krause, John Shirley-Quirk, Gérard Souzay [of course!], Heinrich Rehkemper, and many others. May these singers, voicing the divine utterances of Franz Schubert, provide a certain respite for those that are currently suffering.

Donald Macleod explores Vienna in the company of Franz SchubertOf all Europe's major cities, perhaps Vienna is the one with the reputation as the most comfortable, the most sophisticated, and the most musical. In fact, has any other city been home to so many great composers as Vienna? Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Salieri all spent their best years working there. Yet none of those starry names was born in the city, none were true Viennese. This week, Donald Macleod explores Vienna through the lens of arguably the greatest home grown composer the city has ever produced – Franz Schubert – a man whose short life spanned a crucial period in Austrian history, a time of crisis and much change. In his company we'll explore Vienna's churches and theatres, its parks, coffee houses and taverns, and also glimpse the darker side of the city too – the excesses of Europe's aristocracy and the all seeing eyes of Vienna's secret police.Music Featured: “Kupelwieser” Waltz in G flat Major, D Anh I/14 Symphony No 9 in C Major “The Great”, D944 (3rd mvt, Scherzo) String Quintet in C Major, D 956 (2nd mvt, Adagio) Beitrag zur fünfzigjährigen Jubelfeier des Herrn von Salieri, D407 Marches Militaires, D733 (No 1 in D Major) Gretchen am Spinnrade, D118 6 Moment Musicaux, Op 94, D780 (No 3 in F min) Mass No 1 in F Major, D105 (Gloria) Grande Marche Funebre, D859 Symphony No 2 in B flat Major, D125 (4th mvt,Presto) Rosamunde, D797 (No 5 ,Entracte No 3 in B flat Major: Andantino) Licht und Liebe, D352 Quartettsatz Lazarus, Act 2 (unfinished) Schwanengesang, D744 4 Impromptus, D899, Op90 (No 3 in G Flat Major) Symphony No 8 in B minor, D759 “Unfinished” (1st mvt, Allegro moderato) Symphony No 5 in B flat Major, D485 (1st mvt, Allegro) Winterreise, D911 (No 24, Der Leiermann) Der Wanderer, D489 Piano Quintet in A Major, D667 “The Trout” (3rd mvt, Scherzo) 38 Waltzes, D145, Op 18 (Nos 6, 8 & 9 ) An Sylvia, D891, Op 6 (No 4) Fantasy in F minor, D940, Op 103 Ave Maria, D839, Op 52, No 6 Mass No 6 in E Flat Major, D950 (Credo) Rosemunde incidental music, D797 (Nos 7-9) Alfonso and Estrella, D732 (Act I, Aria “Sei mir gegrusst, o Sonne!”) An die MusikPresented by Donald Macleod Produced by Sam Phillips for BBC Audio Wales & WestFor full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Schubert and Vienna https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026800 And you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z
