Imagine being a multi-talented artist, a composer who has crafted scores for TV and iconic films like Jeremiah Johnson and The Candidate. Now, imagine you're also an acclaimed actor, having graced countless movies and winning a Tony Award for Children of a Lesser God Picture collaborating with legendary directors such as Bob Fosse, Mike Nichols, and Stephen Sondheim. Oh, and did I mention your father was the renowned pianist Artur Rubinstein? Growing up, you played for distinguished guests like Stravinsky, Milhaud, and Lawrence Olivier. With that incredible background, you can only imagine how thrilling it was for me to chat with the extraordinary John Rubenstein!In Part 1, we delve into John's fascinating childhood and his initial steps into the world of composing. He began by writing for school projects and eventually transitioned into film scoring. John shares how the movie Chinatown influenced him and his special connection with trumpeter Uan Rasey, whose haunting solos left a lasting impact. We also explore the art of writing scores in Hollywood, discussing the nuances between composing for TV series and films. Then, we shift to John's acting career, highlighting his lead role in Pippin under the direction of the legendary Bob Fosse. We wrap up this segment by discussing the challenges of dealing with nerves and taking auditions.In Part 2, we take a detour to discuss a memorable evening when John starred in Children of a Lesser God at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, while his father performed at the Music Center. John reminisces about playing for George Szell and shares insights into his father's experience recording with Fritz Reiner. We conclude with a wide-ranging conversation covering John's favorite books and composers.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

One of the great ways to learn how music works is to study written scores.  There are different ways to approach this but, in this episode, we're mainly talking about orchestral scores and improving the knowledge of harmonies, orchestration, development of melodic material, ear training, and more all directly from existing pieces of music from the composers themselves. Our guest is Andrew Callo, a composer and arranger who has done a lot of work with the Air Force Band and a number of other concert works.  We talk about the benefits of score study to improving the ability to compose and arrange music. Music Excerpts in this episode are: (18:10) Beethoven: Symphony No. 1  (mvt I)  - performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert Von Karajan (48:42) Holst: The Planets (Mars) - Berlin Philharmonic; Simon Rattle (55:53) R.

Synopsis OK – raise your hand if you have ever stayed up ‘till midnight to attend the premiere showing of a new film . . . Extra points if you attended in costume as a Hogwarts student! Well, opera fans are no slouches, either. On December 31, 1913, Wagner fanatics arrived at the opera house in Budapest in time to attend a performance of Wagner's -5-hour opera “Parsifal” that began at one minute after midnight! January 1, 1914 was the date on which the official copyright protection for Wagner's last opera ran out. Before then, staged performances of Parsifal were forbidden to take place anywhere else than Wagner's own Festival theater in Bayreuth, Germany. “Parsifal” had premiered there in 1882, but since international copyright laws proved unenforceable in many countries, some opera companies just ignored them. The Met in New York, for example, extensively renovated its stage machinery for the sole purpose of staging Parsifal on Christmas Eve in 1903, and there were also “pirated” pre-1914 performances in Canada, the Netherlands, Monaco, and Switzerland. One interesting note about that midnight Parsifal in Budapest – the conductor was a 25-year-old musical wizard by the name of Fritz Reiner, who would eventually be waving his wand – OK, his baton– to lead the Chicago Symphony. Music Played in Today's Program Richard Wagner (1813-1883) Parsifal excerpts Welsh National Opera Chorus and Orchestra; Reginald Goodall, conductor. EMI 65665

Synopsis On this day in 1952, thirty-one theaters nationwide offered the first pay-per view Met opera telecast. This was a regularly-scheduled performance of Bizet's Carmen broadcast live from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, featuring Risë Stevens in the title role and Fritz Reiner conducting. The performance was relayed to the theaters by means of a closed TV circuit.* Beginning in 1948, the Metropolitan Opera had experimented with live telecasts of their opening night performances, but relatively few people in the U.S. owned TV sets at the time. By 1952, most American households had TVs, but the Met's manager, Rudolf Bing, was dead-set against any further FREE telecasts. The 1952 pay-per-view experiment was not successful, and it wasn't until 1976—after Bing had resigned—that live telecasts of Metropolitan Opera performances resumed on public television. The most successful of all commercial telecasts of a live opera performance occurred in 1951, when, on Christmas Eve that year, NBC-TV broadcast Amahl and the Night Visitors by Gian-Carlo Menotti on Christmas. NBC's black and white kinescope recording of that premiere performance was broadcast annually for a number of years—until it was accidentally erased by a network employee.** Although Amahl is no longer an annual visitor to television, it is still staged this time of year by amateur and professional opera companies around the world. *Currently the Metropolitan Opera offers a series of live opera performances transmitted in high-definition video via satellite from Lincoln Center in New York City to select venues, primarily movie theaters, in the United States and other parts of the world. The first transmission was of a condensed English-language version of Mozart's The Magic Flute on December 30, 2006. **One surviving copy of the original kinescope did surface in a California archive, and was shown at broadcast museums on both coasts in 2001 to celebrate the work's 50th anniversary. Music Played in Today's Program Georges Bizet (1838-1875) Carmen Suite No. 1 Orchestre National de France; Seiji Ozawa, conductor.

Synopsis On today's date in 1942, Bruno Walter conducted the New York Philharmonic in the premiere of the Second Symphony of the American composer John Alden Carpenter. Like Charles Ives, Carpenter led a double life as a composer and successful businessman. He was born into a wealthy family, and from 1906 until his retirement in 1936, served as Vice President of George B. Carpenter & Co., his father's railroad and shipping supply company. Carpenter studied music at home and abroad, and even took composition lessons from Sir Edward Elgar. In 1914, Carpenter scored a national success with his first big orchestral work, a whimsical symphonic suite titled Adventures in a Perambulator, and in 1921 wrote a very popular jazz-inspired ballet titled Krazy Kat, based on a wildly popular newspaper comic strip of the day. By the 1940s, Carpenter's works were being performed by America's leading orchestras and famous maestros like Bruno Walter and Fritz Reiner. To celebrate his 75th birthday, the newly-formed National Arts Foundation promoted performances of his music in the U.S, Europe, and Australia. But in the decades following his death in 1951, much of Carpenter's work has been forgotten. Naxos of America released this first-ever recording of his Symphony No. in 2001 — 59 years after the work's 1942 premiere. Music Played in Today's Program John Alden Carpenter (1876-1951) Symphony No. 2 National Symphony of Ukraine; John McLaughlin Williams, conductor. Naxos 8.559065

Czy „Madama Butterfly” to spektakl karykaturalnie przedstawiający Azjatów? Czy Aidę można ucharakteryzować na czarno? Czy Carmen to fałszywy obraz kobiet w społeczności romskiej? Co można skreślić z libretta? Czy nie zmierzamy w tym wszystkim do cancel culture? Czy awantura o blackface, która rozpętała się niedawno wokół Anny Netrebko, to wiele hałasu o nic? O zjawisku politycznej poprawności w operze zmianach dokonywanych we współczesnych inscenizacjach kanonicznych dzieł rozmawiam z dwójką gości – śpiewakiem Pawłem Konikiem oraz reżyserką Karoliną Sofulak. Rozmowę uzupełniają nagrania: „America for ever” z „Madamy Butterfly” G. Pucciniego (Giovanni Inghilleri, Giuseppe Campora, Orchestra dell'Accademia nazionale di Santa Cecilia, dyr.

All gunned down by young men who should have had no access to an assault weapon in the first place. I have no meaningful response to such cruel slaughter. When I am in the most profound mourning, I turn to the composers whose music directly confronts that despair. Today that composer is Gustav Mahler. Since the victims were almost exclusively people of color, today for solace I turn to the extraordinary voices of women of color singing the music of Mahler. Roberta Alexander, Marian Anderson, Carol Brice, Oralia Dominguez, Jessye Norman, Florence Quivar, Shirley Verrett, Lucretia West provide balm for the depths of despair that we are all feeling right now. They are joined on the podium by some of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century: Leonard Bernstein, Christoph von Dohnányi, Bernard Haitink, Paul Kletzki, Hans Knappertsbusch, Erich Leinsdorf, Zubin Mehta, Pierre Monteux, Fritz Reiner, and Frieder Weissmann. This episode is also offered in memory of and in gratitude for the life of the great Lucretia West, who died on 21 February 2022 at the age of 99.

Building a Library: Emily MacGregor recommends a her favourite recording of Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra. For Bartók, the circumstances surrounding the composition of his Concerto for Orchestra could hardly have been more miserable. In 1940 he fled his native Hungary to escape the Nazis and spent the remaining five years of his life in the United States, those years blighted by despair, painful illness and abject poverty. But unknown to Bartók, two fellow Hungarians, violinist Joseph Szigeti and conductor Fritz Reiner, conspired to persuade Serge Koussevitzky to offer a generous commission. In 1943, the glamorous conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra visited Bartók in his New York hospital, and flamboyantly presented the composer, not only with a commission for an orchestral work but also a $500 down payment. Bartók began work in August and finished the Concerto for Orchestra just under three moths later. It spotlights, often with brilliance and playfulness, all the sections of the orchestra and perhaps only its central Elegy, which Bartók called a 'lugubrious death-song', reflects the circumstances of its composition. The work's recorded history begins at the beginning in 1944 with Koussevitzky and the Boston SO and has been much recorded ever since, a 20th-century classic by one of the century's greatest composers.

Synopsis On today's date in 1991, the American Composers Orchestra gave a concert at Carnegie Hall, celebrating the 80th birthday of the Armenian-American composer Alan Hovhaness. Hovhaness himself was on hand, and conducted the world premiere performance of his Symphony No. 65. By the time of this death in the year 2000, Hovhaness had composed 67 symphonies, and ranks as one of the most prolific composers of symphonies in the 20th century. “I write too much, far too much,” he once wrote to a friend. “This is my insanity.” Even so, performers and audiences seemed to respond to the emotional forthrightness of his music. Hovhaness rejected the mid-20th century trends towards complexity and atonality, and instead turned to archaic and Eastern musical models. Many of his works were inspired by Armenian themes, real or imagined. In reviewing the premiere of his Symphony No. 65, the New York Timescritic wrote: “Mr. Hovhaness seems to have used liturgical roots to create his own imaginary Armenia, a music that may exist only in [his] imagination.” Music Played in Today's Program Alan Hovhaness (1911 – 2000) — Symphony No. 2 (Mysterious Mountain) (Chicago Symphony; Fritz Reiner, cond.)

Nos encaminamos hacia los últimos años de Bing al frente del Met. Pero aún hay mucha tela que cortar y muchos recuerdos que ventilar. En este capítulo evocamos la presencia de Leontyne Price y Jon Vickers en una histórica Aida dirigida por Georg Solti y la de Fritz Reiner en el foso a punto de gobernar El crepúsculo de los dioses. La muerte lo impidió. Le dedicamos la Marcha fúnebre de esa ópera en la versión de Furtwängler de 1952. Luego nos detenemos en la nueva y también soberana lección de Joan Sutherland como Lucia. En la línea de la Amina de Sonnambula escuchada hace unas semanas. Enlazamos con el Viaje de Sigfrido por el Rin en la curiosa interpretación de Georges Prêtre. No podía faltar Birgit Nillsson, que ofreció a principios de los 60 una histórica Salomé. Aparecen asimismo Gottlob Frick en su Osmin de El rapto en el serrallo y Elisabeth Schwarzkopf como Mariscala. Dos artistas vetados por cuestiones políticas durante varios años. Cerramos con otras dos grandes figuras: Cesare Siepi (El becerro de oro de Fausto) y Mirella Freni (Si mi chiamano Mimi de La bohème). Escuchar audio

Seguimos consumiendo etapas en la narración autobiográfica de Sir Rudolf Bing. En esta oportunidad habla de nuevas producciones de Maestros cantores y Ariana en Naxos, lo que nos da pie a escuchar el final de la primera ópera en la magna interpretación de Fritz Reiner en el foso del propio Met y de un fragmento de la última parte de la segunda dirigida por Karl Böhm, que fue el maestro que estuvo en el Teatro en esa ocasión. Bing recordaba más tarde a la insigne Joan Sutherland cantando La sonámbula. Evocando a la soprano australiana seguimos su maravillosa recreación de Care compagne de esa ópera belliniana. Se habla también de Renata Tebaldi, que nos ofrece Io son l’umille ancella de Adriana Lecouvreur. Bing nos cuenta luego sus sinsabores con la crítica neoyorkina, lo que abre la puerta para escuchar el coro Gli aranzi olezzano de Cavalleria rusticana. Tras unos compases del Nocturno op. 9 nº 1 de Chopin en las manos de Rubinstein, llegamos al final con la conclusión del tercer acto de Otello, también dirigida por Böhm. Escuchar audio

Ron Samuels recorded music by Bela Kovacs at the center of the Heinz Hall stage to be presented as part of the Symphony on the Air series at 8:30 Monday Through Friday on the Classical QED Morning Show with support from the Spanos Group of Raymond James and the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony. He spoke with Jim Cunningham about Hungarian clarinet tradition and Kovacs compositions. Ron Samuels was appointed second clarinetist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra by former Music Director Mariss Jansons at the start of the 2001–02 season. He joined the faculty of Duquesne University that same year. Previously, he was a member of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and he served as principal clarinetist of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, guest principal clarinetist with both the Minnesota Orchestra and San Diego Symphony, and guest second clarinetist with the Cleveland Orchestra. A native of San Francisco, Ron Samuels has enjoyed a richly varied career as a symphonic musician, chamber music and concerto soloist, and as a collegiate professor and master class clinician. He graduated from the University of Southern California where he studied with Mitchell Lurie and where he has frequently returned as a guest lecturer. Lurie had served under Fritz Reiner as clarinet in Pittsburgh and Chicago before his death in 2008.
