You don't always get to choose your relations in life: it is neither your choice what family you're born into, nor who you work with. This gamble doesn't always work out, and is sometimes made especially more tragic because we spend the majority of our days working, and we must grow up with our family - regardless of who they are. That's why it is important to choose carefully the relationships where choice is an option. You might think I'm talking about “friends” here. But, more specifically, what I mean are those little friends that come from a different species - our pets. Just as with human relations, we have to work and put a serious effort into developing the relationships we have with our pets. So make sure you are sincere with this effort. Otherwise, you risk only being Fair Weather Friends. This story was written by Phillip Clark. It was directed, engineered, and edited by Phillip Clark.

Víkingur Ólafsson is one of the world's most in-demand classical pianists right now. The Icelandic musician just picked up a Grammy for his “Goldberg Variations” album, and he recently reached one billion streams for his music. Before playing a few shows in Canada, Víkingur dropped by our studio and sat down at Glenn Gould's rehearsal piano that lives here. He talked to Tom Power about why Gould is such a big influence for him. Plus, he plays us his favourite version of the “Goldberg Variations.”

For this edition of the Gramophone Podcast Editor Martin Cullingford was joined by three of the four members of the French ensemble Nevermind - flute player Anna Besson, viola da gamba player Robin Pharo and harpsichordist Jean Rondeau - to talk about the group's new creative exploration of Bach's Goldberg Variations, newly released on the Alpha label.

When you go through a tough time, you will have people tell you that “it could be worse.” Frequently, the consolation of “worse things have happened to better people” is offered - as if to diminish the gravity of our suffering. But to imply that something could be “worse” is to state that it could be “different.” In tonight's story, we find out what truly lies behind the facade of a set of circumstances that appear to be “different” than the circumstances that have come before. So pay close attention, and be prepared to take notes, lest you have to go through all of this Again. This story was written by Phillip Clark.

We've seen it time and again, nearly daily: a solution that has no problem. No, I didn't mispeak. The world is full of solutions to things that aren't even problems to begin with. But when you've only ever known problems, how could you help but think only of solutions? That is the exact situation our character finds himself in in tonight's story. He is confronted with a number of small, yet unsolvable, problems for which he seems to find one extraordinary and inexplicable solution. Of course, we know there is a name for this: we know the Latin term is Deus Ex Machina. This story was written by Phillip Clark. It was directed, engineered, and edited by Phillip Clark.

When one comes to the end of one chapter in their story, another is sure to follow. In this story book of ours, we are introduced to the plot and play in the chapters of the past, though we dwell in the chapter at present. All this serves to build the anticipation of what is to come. In tonight's story, we once again hear from our friend Captain Chris as he navigates the perilous skies and circumstances in which he finds himself. How will our cast of characters find their resolve and resolutions, if they do at all? What will happen? What is the plan?

Enjoy this flight from space over the Patagonia mountains of Chile and Argentina, while listening to the Stardust Sinfonia, a German trio playing flute, vibraphone and harpsichord. The music floats above – a peaceful Aria from Bach's Goldberg Variations. Stardust Sinfonie performs live in theaters and planetaria in Europe. They show photos and movies of Earth, as astronaut Gerhard Thiele shares his experiences in space. Aria for Earth was one of Earth Music Theater's first productions. As we experience this lovely pass over Earth, be mindful that Patagonia's glaciers are retreating with a warming planet. Series: "Arts Channel " [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 40326]

【主播的话】十月初，诺贝尔物理学奖揭晓，两位资深科学家Hinton和Hopfield“因利用人工神经网络实现自动学习的基础发现和发明”而获奖。此消息一出，引发舆论骚动：为什么诺贝尔物理学奖颁给了AI专家？诺奖的标准是什么？从今往后是要进入“一切皆AI”的时代了吗？物理学的边界又在哪里？我们去请教了节目的老朋友赵智沉。他之前多次做客不合时宜，身份非常“斜杠”：谷歌工程师、纽约文化沙龙主理人、播客《选修课》主播，他同时还是位高能物理博士，今年刚出版了《什么事物理：用物理学的视角看世界》一书。我们从诺贝尔物理学奖的相关争议谈起。赵智沉以深入浅出的方式讲解了Hinton和Hopfield的成就，他们各自与物理学的联系：物理学对他们的影响、以及他们对物理学的影响。我们还探讨了“什么是物理”这一基础问题：物理是什么、不是什么？普通人为什么要关心物理？时间和空间为什么是物理的核心概念？对于物理的观念又经历了哪些时代变迁？赵智沉带我们重新审视，物理学如何帮助我们理解世界的本质。在书里，赵智沉写到，“正如我办沙龙的初衷，我始终认为，不同学科不是知识生产线上的不同环节，不是提供关于世界的不同部分的知识，而是提供认识世界的不同视角。物理学，是视角之一，而不是全部，更不是关于自然的客观真理。”

Jeremy Denk is one of America's foremost pianists.  He is also the recipient of both the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize, and he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.Jeremy is known for his interpretations of the music of American composer Charles Ives.He is also known for his original and insightful writing on music. His New York Times best-selling memoir, Every Good Boy Does Fine was published to universal acclaim by Random House in 2022.  His latest album of Mozart piano concertos was deemed “urgent and essential” by BBC Radio 3, while his recording of the Goldberg Variations reached No. 1 on the Billboard classical charts.

Twenty-one years after Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan revolutionized the chick-flick with Freaky Friday, the powers that be have finally greenlit a remake. Fans were surprised to discover that the studio has taken a different approach to the reboot; this iteration of the film will feature two of the foremost voices in American political punditry, and will concern the intellectual history of one Jonah Goldberg. Jonathan Rauch of the Brookings Institution has taken over Jonah's role as host extraordinaire to flip the script and provide you, dear listener, with an understanding of Jonah's intellectual journey throughout his career, ultimately hoping to understand how Jonah prevented himself from turning into a grifting, red-hatted pod person. Jon forces Jonah to revisit his first book, leading to an epic dive into the history of the American conservative movement, along with some hypothesizing behind its disappointing pivot to populism. Further lines of questioning from Mr. Rauch cast a wide net: Did Jonah pioneer horseshoe theory? Can we blame all of this on Sarah Palin? How did Jonah process the rise of Trump and prepare his defensive strategy? Was Jonah ever tempted to join the ranks of the sellouts? The host with the most who is no longer the host reveals all, including The Dispatch's origin story, the final word on Hillary Clinton, and the hope that rests in the moral minority. Show Notes: —Liberal Fascism —Jonah and Jon on the weakness of parties —Steve Hayes, Donald Trump, and John McCain —National Review: Against Trump —Jonah on the body snatchers The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.

In this episode, Vangeline has a conversation with her collaborator Emmy-Award winner Machine Dazzle, discussing their new project "Venus Ex Machina", costumes for MAN WOMAN, life as an artist, and the importance of saying yes. For more information about this new project visit www.vangeline.com and Instagram Instagram: @machinedazzle @vangelinebutoh https://www.vangeline.com/news/2024/8/15/venus-ex-machina-machine-dazzle-and-vangeline Machine Dazzle. Emmy award winner and beloved downtown bon vivant and all-around creative provocateur Machine Dazzle has been dazzling stages via costumes, sets, and performances since his arrival in New York in 1994. An artist, costume designer, set designer, singer/songwriter, art director, and maker, Machine describes himself as a radical queer emotionally driven, instinct-based concept artist and thinker trapped in the role of costume designer, sometimes. Machine designs intricate, unconventional wearable art pieces and bespoke installations. As a stage designer, Machine has collaborated with artists from the New York downtown scene and beyond – including Julie Atlas Muz, Big Art Group, Mx. Justin Vivian Bond, Taylor Mac, Basil Twist, Godfrey Reggio, Jennifer Miller, The Dazzle dancers, Big Art Group, Mike Albo, Stanley Love, Soomi Kim, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Opera Philadelphia, the Bearded Ladies Cabaret, the Curran Theatre, and Spiegelworld; and has created bespoke looks for fashion icons including designer Diane von Furstenberg and model Cara Delevingne for the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala. Machine's costumes and sets were featured in Taylor Mac's Pulitzer Prize-nominated A 24-Decade History of Popular Music. A documentary feature film directed by Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein and co-produced by Pomegranate Arts will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023. In 2019, Machine was commissioned by Guggenheim Works and Process and The Rockefeller Brothers to create Treasure, a rock-and-roll cabaret of original songs including a fashion show inspired by the content. Recent collaborations include the Catalyst Quartet on Bassline Fabulous – a reimagining of Bach's Goldberg Variations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his debut collaboration with Opera Lafayette, for the historic premiere of the never-before-seen Rameau comedic opéra-ballet, Io. Dazzle was a co-recipient the 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Visual Design, the winner of a 2017 Henry Hewes Design Award, and a 2022 United States Artists Fellow. He delivered a TED Talk at TED Vancouver in 2023. Machine Dazzle's work has been exhibited internationally. His first solo exhibition, Queer Maximalism x Machine Dazzle, was held at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City in 2022. https://www.vangeline.com/ https://www.pomegranatearts.com/projects-and-artists/machine-dazzle https://www.hbo.com/movies/taylor-macs-24-decade-history-of-popular-music

For your *continued* pleasure: a second, special bonus episode. The response of our audience has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the world premiere of the private, recorded conversation between Tim Page and Glenn Gould. They wanted to learn more about this unique audio document, and we're happy to oblige. In this special program, Tim Page reflects on his spontaneous phone conversation with Glenn, and contrasts it with a later scripted interview for the 1982 Goldberg Variations recording, and recounts personal anecdotes, including a private piano performance by Gould. The episode also highlights Gould's appreciation for in-depth conversations free from clichéd questions and his humour, expressed through his fictitious alter egos, Theodore Slutz, Nigel Twitt-Thornwaite and Karlheinz Klopweisser. The discussion encompasses Gould's enormous influence on restoring the reputations composers like Strauss and Sibelius.

For a long time I've received emails and messages from people asking, and sometimes demanding, that I explore the solo piano repertoire. Other than a look at the Goldberg Variations of Bach, I've basically neglected a huge amount music, including some of the greatest works ever written. Why have I been doing this? Well, if I'm totally honest, it's been slightly out of a sense of intimidation. I'm not a pianist, and I've always been somewhat in awe of the piano and pianists. Even after spending years with this music, I still felt that I just simply didn't know the solo piano repertoire well enough to do it justice. Well, now that I've gone through ALMOST all of the symphonic standard repertoire, and now that I've started exploring the string quartet repertoire, I think it's time to throw off this sense of awe and dive right in. You might think I might not reach too high to start off, maybe an early Beethoven sonata, or a Mozart or Haydn Sonata. Well, in my opinion you've got to go big or go home, so I've decided to explore one of the towering masterpieces not only of the solo piano genre, but of all music, Schubert's Sonata in B Flat Major. This is a piece that has been described as “well-nigh perfect,” as “beyond analysis,” as including “the most extraordinary trill in the history of music,” and as “the climax and apotheosis of Schubert's instrumental lyricism and his simplicity of form.” These are just a few of the superlatives I've found in researching this piece. It was written in the last weeks of Schubert's short life, and it truly does take the listener on an unforgettable journey. There is nothing quite like Schubert's final works, and so over the next two episodes, I will take you through this remarkable sonata, a piece that Alex Ross has described as “a premature communication from the beyond.” This is a huge piece, with so much to talk about, so I've split this episode into two parts. This week we'll look at the first movement, and then in two weeks we'll cover the final three movements. Join us!

TV reviews - Gerald Dawe - Goldberg Variations on accordian - The Molly Films

You know that portrait of Bach holding a little scrap of music? Ever wonder what the piece was? What it sounded like? That piece of paper is a six-voice, triple canon: number thirteen in the fourteen additional canons found on the back of Bach's personal copy of the Goldberg Variations. (Analysis of that specific canon around 32 min.)We've covered nine of these puzzling pieces in three previous episodes, but now it's time to call it a wrap on all fourteen. These additional canons were discovered only as late as the 1970s. For a more detailed history, check the three previous episodes dealing with these canons:Here is the image of the canon, “Christ will Crown the Cross-bearers” that appears in the family registry book belonging to J.G.

Today we return to the 7th of the Goldberg Variations, the "Canary Jig." We discuss that peculiar name, and then we get into some smaller moments. Soaring flares up the keyboard, surprising altered tones, and crunchy grace notes are all over. Pushing forward into the ending, a high note leads us to the finish. We discuss why the contour of the hands makes this ending so satisfying. Goldberg var. no. 7 as performed by Jean Rondeau for the Netherlands Bach Society

In our second look at the monumental Goldberg Variations, Christian selects the beginning of the sprightly and innocent "gigue" (jig), a particular dance set here for an interplay between two hands. The jaunty rhythm of the dance is rather uneven; this leads us into a discussion about how music is naturally not even in this way (and when it is, it's too square). We discuss the Goldberg bass line which underpins the whole sequence of 30 variations and discover how it works with this one also.  In two weeks, Christian will return to this variation and get more into the weeds with particular notes.

On the latest episode of ‘New Classical Tracks,' Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson explores, performs and becomes J.S. Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' on his latest album. Find out more!

Raymond Bisha's latest podcast introduces the world premiere recording of Joseph Rheinberger's arrangement for two pianos of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Composed by Bach in 1741, the work fell into oblivion before re-emerging as part of a movement of discovery generations later. In order to breathe new life into them, such masterpieces might undergo arrangements, transcriptions and other manipulations. In this case, Rheinberger's 1883 version adds new parts to Bach's original score.

Víkingur Ólafsson, Iceland's superstar pianist, engages in captivating dialogue in Part One of his interview on the Gould Standard. From Reykjavik to New York, Ólafsson delves into the profound influence of his Icelandic roots and reflects on his educational journey from early studies with his parents to Juilliard. The conversation unveils a multifaceted glimpse into his musical philosophy, exploring topics ranging from his insights into Bach's Goldberg Variations (which he has just recorded, and which he calls the greatest work of keyboard music ever written) to his nuanced views on music competitions. Ólafsson boldly contends that exceptional art should act as a catalyst for societal discourse, with the potential to overcome divisions, following in the footsteps of one of his inspirations, Glenn Gould.

Marina Abramović is an artist renowned for performances and feats of endurance, in which her body is pushed to its limits. She has moved, scandalised and delighted audiences for half a century, and is now celebrated by world-leading galleries and institutions. Marina was born in Belgrade in 1946. Her parents were honoured as war heroes for their work for the Partisan resistance movement, and both took up senior roles in the post-war Yugoslav government. Marina became interested in painting during her childhood, and went on to study art. She first made her name as a performance artist in her 20s, creating events which often shocked viewers – and were equally traumatic for her. In 1974 she placed 72 objects, including sharp tools, a whip and a loaded pistol, on a table and invited gallery goers to use them on her, however they wished. She was attacked and left scarred, and part of her hair went white. For many years she led a nomadic existence, creating works with her partner, the German artist Ulay. In 1997, in response to the war in Bosnia, she created a prize-winning work for the Venice Biennale, in which for four days she attempted to scrub the blood from a vast pile of cow bones. In 2010 her exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York attracted almost a million people, many queuing for hours for a chance to sit opposite her in silence as part of her marathon performance The Artist is Present. More recently her work has been celebrated in a major retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy in London, along with performances at English National Opera, marking the centenary of Maria Callas.

Ep 131: We have been puzzling over the impact of AI-generated music and how it will align with the laws that have made the music business, well, the music business. Eliane Ellbogen is an intellectual property lawyer at Fasken law firm in Montreal, and has spoken at a number of conferences about the legal implications that accompany AI Music. She joined Music Ally's Editor Joe Sparrow, who lobbed some (depending on your point of view) tricky and/or stupid legal questions at Eliane – who answered them with patience and clarity. For instance: can an AI author music? Can humans claim ownership of AI-generated music? What happens if an AI-created piece of music sounds very similar to your own human music? What laws might be used to regulate it all? Eliane gamely got to grips with them all.

Front Row reviews two of this week's cultural highlights. Tom Sutcliffe is joined by writer Hettie Judah and film critic Peter Bradshaw to discuss Happy Gas, a retrospective of work by Sarah Lucas at the Tate Britain, and The Old Oak, which director Ken Loach has said will be his final film. Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, was Front Row's artist in (remote) residence during the lockdown, playing for us live in the empty Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. At last Víkingur comes to the Front Row studio in person to talk to Tom Sutcliffe about his recording of the Goldberg Variations which, he says, are a musical metaphor for life itself. And the actor Sir Michael Gambon has died at the age of 82. Best-known for his role as Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, his work also encompassed theatre, TV and Radio drama. Theatre writer Paul Allen and film critic Peter Bradshaw discusses his career on both stage and screen.

J. S. Bach proves his compositional genius in the Goldberg Variations. A bass line with implied harmony of 32 bars provides the basis on which Bach creates the world in a piece of music, over 30 variations following the initial Aria. In this video we go through this bass material in depth to see how its harmonic movement enables the piano to sing so beautifully over it. With Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/8AU7d5hhlwQ

New York-based composer, pianist, and coder Dan Tepfer, who has previously improvised a companion to the J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, has returned to using the animating idea in music by Bach as a starting point for his riffing, on his latest album, called Inventions/Reinventions. On this record, Tepfer takes Bach's 15 Two-Part Inventions as written (which he describes as “something deep happening under this simple surface”), and taps into what J.S. Bach was most famous for – his improvising genius, but in music that sounds like Dan Tepfer, in the remaining 9 keys of the complete cycle. Tepfer feels that the idea of joy is omnipresent in Bach's music, and in his own play as he riffs on Bach, he finds a visceral joy in creation. In doing so, Tepfer tells his own story - his love of Bach from childhood, his appreciation of Brazilian music, his admiration of Lee Konitz, - and not only improvises within a framework, but also creates an entirely new structure for the frame. He also sings what he plays to make sure that he means it, which brings to mind another improviser, American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett. Dan Tepfer performs both J.S. Bach's Two-Part Inventions, and his own unique reinventions, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: “J.S. Bach: Invention in C major / Tepfer: Improvisation in Db major”, “J.S. Bach: Invention in Eb major / Tepfer: Improvisation in Eb minor”, “J.S. Bach: Invention in A minor / Tepfer: Improvisation in Bb minor” Watch “J.S.

After writing the Goldberg Variations, what was left to write?  Welcome back to A Moment of Bach! We embark on our third season by celebrating the recent release of the Netherlands Bach Society's "Die Kunst der Fuge" -- a brilliant new arrangement of the towering masterwork. The expressive and unusual instrumentation makes this recording unlike any other.   Die Kunst der Fuge BWV 1080 by the Netherlands Bach Society, arr.

Jay opens things with a crazy Rolling Stone article about the demise of the 90's alt rock band Live. The band's 1995 performance on MTV's Unplugged sparked Jay & Nick's lifelong friendship. They remained a strong band through the 90's, but it all went to hell after that…Song: Live - “Stage”Nick has some rare follow-up to a topic back in episode #135, when he discussed Epic's acquisition of Bandcamp. So, what's happened since then? Has minority stakeholder Tencent used it to spy on independent artists as it simultaneously transformed Epic Games' image into the rogue indie studio that it yearned to be (Pitchfork's prediction)?Song: Phillip Selway - “What Keeps You Awake At Night?”Finally, Greg takes on a tour of the year 1955. We begin with Gould's first Goldberg Variations, recorded in June. “Rock Around the Clock” by His Comets and “Ain't That Ashame” by Fats Domino were both hits, Bebop is fading as the Birth of Cool begins. The first Guiness Book of World Records was released and the year ended with the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat on the bus. It's also the last time Newcastle won a cup…Song: Glenn Gould - “Goldberg Variations, BWV 988: Variation 5 a 1 ovvero 2 Clav.”

Synopsis The Stanley Kubrick film "A Clockwork Orange" opened in New York City on this date in 1971. The music was composed, and in some cases re-composed, by Wendy Carlos. As in his earlier hit, "2001: A Space Odyssey," Kubrick used classical music. This time, however, in keeping with the film's futuristic storyline, the classics were adapted and arranged for Moog synthesizer by Wendy Carlos. The Main Title music, which we're sampling, was Purcell's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary. Carlos had just read the Anthony Burgess novel, "A Clockwork Orange," when she saw a notice in the New York Times that Kubrick was at work filming it. She immediately airmailed Kubrick two Moog synthesizer pieces, one original and one a classical arrangement. Kubrick wrote back, inviting her to London to talk, and the rest is history. Wendy Carlos had become an international celebrity with her earlier album Switched-On Bach, consisting of her Bach arrangements for synthesizer. It became the first classical recording ever to be certified "Platinum." Musical genius pianist Glenn Gould, whose own recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations was one of the biggest sellers of all time, said: "Carlos's realization of the Fourth Brandenburg Concerto is, to put it bluntly, the finest performance of any of the Brandenburgs—live, canned, or intuited—I've ever heard."
