Podcast appearances and mentions of Gustav Leonhardt

U kent hem en u kent Collegium Vocale. Met zijn ensemble scheert Philippe Herreweghe (78) nog altijd hoge toppen. De drang naar muziek en de neiging om te dirigeren deed zich al vroeg in zijn leven voor. In het schoolkoor bij de jezuïeten mocht hij – hij was 14 - repetities leiden wanneer de verantwoordelijke pater verhinderd was. Boven zijn bed had de jonge Herreweghe posters van Gustav Leonhardt en Nicolaus Harnoncourt hangen, twee internationaal gerenommeerde dirigenten die toentertijd de oude muziek lieten herleven. Die oude muziek zou Herreweghe samen met onder andere Sigiswald Kuijken terugbrengen naar zijn oorspronkelijke kracht. Ze beslisten om werk van Johann Sebastian Bach en tijdgenoten niet langer op moderne instrumenten te spelen, maar op instrumenten die ook in de 17de eeuw werden gehanteerd, of kopieën ervan. Met Collegium Vocale voerde hij de Matteüspassie uit met dertig zangers en een dertigtal instrumentisten , terwijl het publiek een bezetting van honderd man gewend was. Herreweghe voert later ook Beethoven, Schumann, Bruckner en zelfs Schönberg uit en verovert de wereld. In een gesprek met Leo A. De Bock vertelt hij openhartig over zijn opvoeding, zijn keuze om psychiater te worden en dan toch niet, z'n geloven en niet geloven, z'n liefde voor de ‘historische praktijk' en de aantrekkingskracht die de Bijbel voor hem heeft.

SynopsisAround this time in 1956, the hot ticket on Broadway was for a musical based on the old Greek legend of Pygmalion, a sculptor so good that he fell in love with one of his beautiful female statues. The playwright, George Bernard Shaw, had updated the legend to modern-day London, and in 1956, the Broadway team of Lerner and Loewe had in turn transformed Shaw's stage play into the smash Broadway musical, My Fair Lady.But 208 years before all that, on today's date in the year 1748, ANOTHER very successful musical adaptation of the Pygmalion legend opened in Paris. This Pygmalion was an opera-ballet by the great French Baroque composer, Jean-Philippe Rameau. Rameau was born in 1683, two years earlier than Bach and Handel, but unlike them, was something of a late bloomer. He was 50 before he became famous, and his opera-ballet Pygmalion opened shortly before his 65th birthday. Rameau was famous for imitating natural sounds and noises in his music. One of Rameau's contemporaries, in praising the overture to Pygmalion, even suggested the repeated notes of Rameau's theme represented the chipping of Pygmalion's chisel as he worked on his lovely creation.Music Played in Today's ProgramJean-Philippe Rameau (1683 – 1764) Pygmalion La Petite Bande; Gustav Leonhardt, conductor.

Synopsis On today's date in 1723, Johann Sebastian Bach began his formal duties as the new Cantor of the St. Thomas School in Leipzig, a city that would remain his home for the next 27 years. A newspaper item datelined Leipzig had appeared the previous day, noting: "This past Saturday at noon, four wagons loaded with household goods arrived here from Cöthen; they belonged to the former Princely Cappelmeister Johann Sebastian Bach, now called to Leipzig as Cantor. He himself arrived with his family on two carriages at 2 o'clock and moved into the newly renovated apartment in the St. Thomas School." Bach was not the first choice for the appointment, and it's clear from the proceedings of the Leipzig Town Council that they were more concerned with Bach as a teacher rather than Bach as a composer. Providing quality music for services at St. Thomas Church might have been foremost in Bach's mind, but the council seemed to think that was definitely not as important as teaching Latin to the young students of the St. Thomas School. One council member, a certain Dr. Steger, after reluctantly voting for Bach, even wanted it on record that in his opinion, (quote) "Bach should make compositions that were NOT theatrical." It's not on record what poor Dr. Steger thought of Bach's intensely dramatic St. Matthew Passion, or the hundreds of brilliant crafted cantatas that Bach would provide, week in and week out, for the next 20 years.

Michela Graziani"Bach"Pedro Eirasil ramo e la foglia Edizionihttps://ilramoelafogliaedizioni.itTraduzione a cura di Michela GrazianiStrutturato non in capitoli convenzionali, ma in quattordici sezioni, il libro parla di tutto ciò che ruota attorno alla figura del compositore tedesco: la musica in primis, a cui si aggiungono il ricordo di Bach attraverso la lettera della seconda moglie, Anna Magdalena, del 1750, la lettera di Gustav Leonhardt all'amico Nikolaus del 1973, il montaggio cinematografico di Straub e Huillet nel 1968 (dove Leonhardt ha interpretato Bach), Lisboaleipzig di Maria Gabriela Llansol; il ricordo di Anna Magdalena Bach nella biografia romanzata di Esther Meynell; i dibattiti musicali intrapresi da un gruppo di tecnici del suono newyorkesi; il silenzio della musica durante i viaggi della deportazione, tra cui quello di Etty Hillesum; il tema universale della vita e della morte e l'effetto catartico della musica celebrati nelle varie sezioni.La scrittura fluida, ora di impronta moderna, ora contemporanea, abbinata a un meticoloso e filologico approccio testuale e ad affascinanti intrecci intertestuali, rappresentano la cifra stilistica di Pedro Eiras che permette al lettore di lasciarsi trasportare in spazi e tempi diversi, solo apparentemente lontani tra loro.«Non si può risuscitare il XVIII secolo, ma inventare il passato in base al nostro desiderio. Per questo inventiamo il nostro desiderio. Per questo Esther Meynell è fedele soprattutto quando ritrae la scena più inverosimile: Anna Magdalena che sorprende Johann Sebastian a comporre, fuggendo, piangendo, proprio come piangiamo noi oggi.»Pedro EirasProfessore di Letteratura Portoghese presso l'Università di Porto e ricercatore presso l'Istituto di Letteratura Comparata Margarida Losa, dal 2001 Pedro Eiras è autore di opere di finzione narrativa (Bach, Cartas Reencontradas de Fernando Pessoa, A Cura, O Mapa do Mundo), teatro (Um Forte Cheiro a Maçã, Uma Carta a Cassandra, Um Punhado de Terra, Bela Dona), poesia (Inferno, Purgatório, Paraíso), saggistica (Esquecer Fausto, Tentações, Os Ícones de Andrei, Constelações 1, 2 e 3) e altri testi di più difficile classificazione (Boomerang, Substâncias Perigosas, [...], Regras para a Direcção do Espírito), solo per citarne alcuni. La sua produzione teatrale è stata rappresentata e tradotta in vari paesi europei. Nel 2006 Esquecer Fausto ha ricevuto il premio PEN Clube Português rivolto alla saggistica; nel 2021 Inferno è stato premiato a Vila Real con il prestigioso premio “António Cabral”. Vari libri di Pedro Eiras sono stati pubblicati in Brasile, Francia, Inghilterra, Romania. Bach è il suo primo libro edito in Italia.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Kommer vildsvin bli en ny, självklar proteinkälla i det svenska köket? Och hur många vildsvin tål Sverige? Marodör och vardagsmatRedan på stenåldern bökade vilda svin runt i de svenska skogarna. Över årtusendenas lopp har de avlats till tamgrisar, och så småningom utrotades den vilda stammen. Men vildsvinen har återvänt, och nu uppfattas de av många som ett stort problem, bland annat eftersom de orsakar skador på jordbruket.Elisabeth Nilsson, utredare på Viltskadekommissionen, tycker att det finns alldeles för många vildsvin i Sverige. Viltskadekommissionen vill att vi ska skjuta av 90 procent. Men hur sugna är svenskarna på att äta allt det köttet? Gustav Leonhardt, jägare och årets kock 2021, bjuder på korv och berättar varför han älskar vildsvin. Navalnyj byter fängelseOch så ska det handla om den ryske oppositionspolitikern Aleksej Navalnyj. Han flyttades nyligen till ett fängelse, vars tidigare intagna har vittnat om tortyr och misshandel. Navalnyj kommer att avtjäna sitt nio år långa straff för påstått bedrägeri där. Vi frågar Sveriges Radios Rysslandskorrespondent Maria Persson Löfgren vad som egentligen är känt om det här fängelset. Och om det finns något omvärlden kan göra för att påverka Navalnyjs situation.Koppla av på stubbenVi pratar också med Bosse Rosén, tidigare ambulanssjukvårdare, som numera tillbringar mycket tid i naturen, sittande på stubbar. Han menar att denna aktivitet är lösningen på många av människans svårigheter. Har han rätt, eller kan regelbunden tid i naturen bli ytterligare ett stressmoment för nutidsmänniskan?Dessutom: Boktips, vattenbrist och Brad Pitts mardrömmar.Programledare: Louise Epstein Bisittare: Thomas Nordegren Producent: Olle Björkman

Synopsis On today's date in 1733, music-loving readers of a Leipzig newspaper called the “Nachricht auch Frag und Anzeiger” would have seen this welcome announcement: “Tonight at 8 o'clock there will be a Bach concert at Zimmermann's Coffeehouse on Catharine Street.” So, in addition to a Grandé Latté or Double-shot Depth-Charge, Zimmermann's patrons could treat themselves to a Grand Suite or Double-Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. As if Bach wasn't busy enough providing all those sacred cantatas and organ chorales for TWO Leipzig's churches every Sunday, he was also in charge of that city's Collegium Musicum, an organization that presented more secular musical fare. It's likely that on occasional weekday nights at Catharine Street, most of Bach's concertos and chamber works were performed by Bach himself, alongside many of the same musicians he employed each Sunday for his church music. Given his staggering workload, it's not TOO far-fetched to assume that caffeine helped Bach stay focused and alert: One of his secular cantatas might even be considered as an early form of an advertising plug: the humorous text of Bach's ‘Coffee Cantata' recounts how a young woman's addiction to coffee triumphs over her stuffy father's moral objections to the tasty brew.

Synopsis As Leipzig's chief provider of both sacred and secular music Johann Sebastian Bach probably gave a huge sigh of relief on today's date in 1733. The death of the Imperial Elector Friedrich Augustus the First of Saxony earlier that year had resulted in a four-month period of official mourning, which meant NO elaborate sacred music at Bach's Leipzig churches, and certainly no frivolous secular concerts with the Collegium Musicum, an orchestra of professionals and amateurs that Bach assembled periodically at Zimmermann's coffee house in that city. Finally, Frederich's successor said, “Enough was enough,” and this notice appeared in a Leipzig paper: “His Royal Highness and Electorial Grace, having given kind permission for the [resumption of] music, tomorrow, on June 17, a beginning will be made by Bach's Collegium Musicum at Zimmermann's Garden, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, with a fine concert. The concerts will be weekly, with a new harpsichord, such as had not been heard there before, and lovers of music are expected to be present.” So it's not hard to imagine Bach at Zimmermann's giving the downbeat to put the new instrument through its paces in one of his own harpsichord concertos.

Synopsis Pleyel and Company was a French piano firm founded in 1807 by the composer Ignace Pleyel. The firm provided pianos for Chopin, and ran an intimate Parisian 300-seat concert hall called the Salle Pleyel–the “Pleyel room” in English, where Chopin once performed. In the 20th century, a roomier Salle Pleyel comprising some 3,000-seats was built, and it was there on today’s date in 1929 that a new concerto for an old instrument had its premiere performance. This was the “Concert champetre” or “Pastoral Concerto” for harpsichord and orchestra by the French composer Francis Poulenc, with the Paris Symphony conducted by Pierre Monteux, and with Wanda Landowska as the soloist. “A harpsichord concerto in a hall that seats thousands?” you may ask. “How could anyone hear the harpsichord?” Well, the answer is that Madame Landowska performed on a beefier, metal-framed harpsichord built in the 20th century rather than the quieter wood-framed instruments used in the 18th. Landowska’s modern harpsichord was specially-constructed for her by–who else?–Pleyel and Company. Landowska needed those extra decibels because Poulenc’s concerto was scored for harpsichord and a large modern orchestra, with winds, percussion, and a large brass section that even included a tuba!

This was the “Concert champetre” or “Pastoral Concerto” for harpsichord and orchestra by the French composer Francis Poulenc, with the Paris Symphony conducted by Pierre Monteux, and with Wanda Landowska as the soloist. “A harpsichord concerto in a hall that seats thousands?” you may ask. “How could anyone hear the harpsichord?” Well, the answer is that Madame Landowska performed on a beefier, metal-framed harpsichord built in the 20th century rather than the quieter wood-framed instruments used in the 18th. Landowska’s modern harpsichord was specially-constructed for her by–who else?–Pleyel and Company. Landowska needed those extra decibels because Poulenc’s concerto was scored for harpsichord and a large modern orchestra, with winds, percussion, and a large brass section that even included a tuba!

De komende weken een aantal herhalingen van 'Ongehoord' specials van het afgelopen seizoen. Vandaag met violist/dirigent Johannes Leertouwer. Hij zit regelmatig in het panel van Diskotabel. Hij praat met Lex Bohlmeijer onder andere over zijn studiejaren bij Josef Suk in Wenen en Praag, de inspiratie die Gustav Leonhardt nog steeds levert, zijn onderzoek naar de historische uitvoeringspraktijk van de symfonieën van Brahms en de schoonheid van vocale muziek.

In 1968 verschijnt een speelfilm waarin Gustav Leonhardt, als acteur met poederpruik, Johann Sebastian Bach speelt. Maar de hoofdrol is weggelegd voor Christiane Lang. Zij speelt de tweede vrouw van Bach: Anna Magdalena. De film is gebaseerd op een ‘historische’ roman uit 1925, waarin het leven -tussen ‘Wahrheit und Dichtung’- van Bach wordt geschetst. Het leven van alledag, gezien vanuit het perspectief van Anna Magdalena. De feiten: In Cöthen was Bach kapelmeester en hij werd er weduwnaar. Toen Bach de uitstekende zangeres Anna Magdalena Wilcke contracteerde, kon hij niet vermoeden dat hij enkele maanden later met haar zou trouwen. Zij schonk hem 13 kinderen, van wie slechts zes hun jonge kinderjaren hebben overleefd. Haar naam is ook verbonden aan twee bundels muziek, waarvan de tweede ‘Notenbüchlein vor Anna Magdalena Bach’, muziek bevat van gasten, van Bach en misschien ook wel van haarzelf. Het leven van Bach gezien door de ogen van zijn vrouw. Met de actrice Saskia Bonarius. Eerder uitgezonden op NPO Radio 4 in 'De Bedding'; 17-08-2013

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #110! http://www.organduo.lt/podcast Today's guest is Pieter van Dijk who is City Organist, and organist of the Grote Sint Laurenskerk, in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, where he acts as custodian to two of the world's most significant historic organs. As one of Europe's most sought-after teachers, Van Dijk is Professor and Head of Organ Studies at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, a position he combines with a Professorship at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg. Together with Frank van Wijk, he is Artistic Director of Organ Festival Holland, which places the renowned Alkmaar instruments at the center of a prestigious international organ competition, organ academy and concert series. Pieter van Dijk was a pupil of Bert Matter at the Arnhem Conservatory, before going on to further his studies with Gustav Leonhardt, Marie-Claire Alain and Jan Raas. As a performer he was awarded prizes at international competitions in Deventer (1979) and Innsbruck (1986). His many recordings on historic organs throughout the Netherlands and beyond have included the Fugue State Films DVD ‘The Organs of the Laurenskerk', which in 2013 was awarded the Preis der Deutsche Schallplattenkritik. In 2017 he commenced the recording of a complete Bach-cycle for DMP Records. (Info: www.dmp-records.nl) Van Dijk's research interests have led to the publication of articles about Weckmann, Sweelinck, Bach and the playing style of the great early 20th century German organist Karl Straube. He was one of the advisors behind the much-lauded reconstruction of the organ at the St Katharinenkirche in Hamburg, on which Bach famously performed in 1720. As a performer and jury member at international competitions, Pieter van Dijk has appeared throughout Europe as well as in the USA and Japan. You can also listen to my previous interview with Pieter van Dijk (SOP Podcast #22) from 2015: http://www.organduo.lt/podcast/sop-podcast-22-pieter-van-dijk-about-the-world-famous-organs-at-saint-laurenskerk-in-alkmaar-the-netherlands Pieter came to Vilnius to teach and perform at the Summer Organ Academy which my colleague Balys Vaitkus and his team organized. We met at the restaurant of his hotel and talked about his teaching and performing experiences at the Academy as well about his project to record complete organ works of J.S. Bach on significant historical instruments of Holland, Germany and Norway.
