Episode Summary: This week on Backstage Bay Area, host Steve Roby welcomes two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Mads Tolling. Known for his work with the Turtle Island Quartet, Stanley Clarke, and Bob Weir, Mads is shifting gears this season to share a piece of his Danish childhood in San Francisco.Mads takes us inside his project, Cool Yule: A Nordic Holiday Celebration, a "love letter" to his upbringing in Copenhagen. We explore the concept of "hygge," compare the structured traditions of a Danish Christmas with the chaotic energy of American holidays, and delve into the fascinating—and sometimes frightening—folklore of the North. From a rice pudding-eating gnome to a child-eating "Christmas Cat," Mads explains the stories behind the music. Plus, hear how he transforms an 1830s violin into a growling baritone instrument he calls "Uncle Scratchy."In This Episode, We Discuss:Life Lately: Meds' recent touring with Melvin Seals & JGB and his deep dive into the Grateful Dead repertoire.Nordic vs. American Christmas: Why the "Christmas spirit" feels different in Denmark, the importance of hygge (coziness), and why the 24th is the real main event in Scandinavia.Folklore & Music:The Gnome's Attic: The story of the Nisse who demands his rice pudding (and fights off rats to get it).The Christmas Cat: An Icelandic legend about a giant fashion-policing cat that eats children who don't receive new clothes for Christmas."Uncle Scratchy": Mads explains his unique baritone violin, tuned an octave lower to create a cello-like, medieval growl perfect for monster stories.The Frozen Connection: How a modern Disney hit connects back to Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen.Featured Music:"The Gnome's Attic" (from Cool Yule) "The Christmas Cat" (from Cool Yule) Upcoming Live Show: Catch Mads Tolling & The Mads Men live for a special holiday engagement!Event: Cool Yule: A Nordic Holiday Celebration Dates: Saturday, Dec 13 & Sunday, Dec 14, 2025 Venue: Joe Henderson Lab, SFJAZZ (San Francisco) Showtimes: 7:00 PM & 8:30 PM The Band: Mads Tolling (violin), Colin Hogan (piano/accordion), Gary Brown (bass), Eric Garland (drums).Resources & Links:Get Tickets: SFJAZZ Ticket LinkMads Tolling Official Site: madstolling.comHost: Steve Roby, Backstage Bay Area

Cabaret star Meow Meow interprets Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in inimitable style. Returning with her brilliant show The Red Shoes, about a girl possessed by a pair of vivid red shoes that won't stop dancing. Meow Meow explains why the story resonated with Andersen and discusses some of her favourite female performers from the era of the Weimar republic.The Glass Menagerie is perhaps one of the most visceral and intimate plays from Tennessee Williams and is about to open in Adelaide at State Theatre Company of South Australia. Prepare for the full intense pantheon of emotions; failed aspirations, family dysfunction and unreliable memories all set in a claustrophobic, dingy St Louis apartment during the 1930's depression. Ksenja Logos and Laurence Boxhall join us.West End star Alfie Boe is the voice that for many years has been synonymous --for international audiences-- with the character Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. An operatic tenor who is a true crossover artist, finding massive popularity for his interpretations of musical theatre standards and pop music. He is touring Australia next year.

Daily Quote There is only one success--- to be able to spend your life in your own way. (Christopher Morley) Poem of the Day 送柴侍御 王昌龄 Beauty of Words The Flying Trunk (2) Hans Christian Andersen

In today's episode we're going to have a look at a couple of films made several decades apart that look at the goings-on behind the scenes in ballet companies. In this half of the episode, we're reviewing THE RED SHOES (1948), directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. We have impresario-type behavior, composers with big egos, love triangles, and all of it rather thinly overlaid on a Hans Christian Andersen story. But that's not a bad thing, even though there's at least one sticking point where Sean and I disagree. (It's minor, but we're each staying to our own side of the street on this one.) In Part 2 we jump into this century for a Robert Altman film.

K ovdovelemu gospodarju dvorca na Norveškem se v pričakovanju boljšega življenja priženi ambiciozna Rebekka, prav tako ovdovela mati dveh najstniških hčera. Gospodar na poročni večer umre in na vrata kmalu potrkajo upniki. Izkaže se, da je razkošno posestvo pred bankrotom, to pa ne preprečuje gospodarjevi lepi hčerki Agnes, da se zaradi plemiškega rodu do mačehe in polsester ne bi prezirljivo vedla. Toda povzpetniška Rebekka ima svoj načrt: svojo neprivlačno hčer Elviro bo tako vzgojila in preobrazila, da bo »ustrezna« za poroko s princem. Grda polsestra (Den Stygge Stesøsteren) je celovečerni prvenec norveške avtorice mlajše generacije Emilie Blichfeldt. Gre za satirično, groteskno reinterpretacijo Pepelke s primesmi črne komedije in telesne grozljivke. Kljub prepletanju zgodovinskih obdobij in umetniških smeri, od fevdalizma in stampunka do sodobne plesne elektronske glasbe, ki se spretno meša s klasiko, gre za celovit, hipnotičen filmski organizem. S svojo drznostjo je za gledalca podobno pretresljiva izkušnja kot primitivni lepotni posegi, ki jim je pod materino taktirko podvržena grda račka Elvira. Toda pozor, v Grdi polsestri, v kateri nedolžnost velja za dragoceno valuto, ni zares nedolžen nihče. Za Elviro, ki je bila že pred materinim podjetniškim načrtom zaljubljena v princa zaradi njegove pesniške zbirke, se izkaže, da je sicer žrtev svojih fantazem – v resničnem življenju je princ plitev primitivnež – toda ker se v svoji želji voljno podvrže preobrazbi, je vsaj sokriva za svojo nemilo usodo. Pripovedka o Pepelki, katere zasnutki segajo v antiko, je v zgodovini doživela številne preobrazbe, različne psihološko-filozofske šole pa so ji pripisovale zelo nasprotujoče si pomene. Od patriarhalne fantazije o podreditvi moškemu kot končnemu cilju do Freudove analize prisile, avtoritarnosti in moči želje. Jung je v arhetipski zgodbi našel prispodobo individuacije oziroma razvojne poti k sebi in iskanja notranjih zmožnosti, sodobna feministična kritika pa v zgodbi vidi predvsem kritiko družbenih pričakovanj in nadzora. Zdi se, da je scenaristka in režiserka Emilie Blichfeldt dobro preučila vsa ta izhodišča in je nasprotja tudi mojstrsko pregnetla v svoje delo, ki sešije zgodovinski kostumski spektakel s potujitvenimi učinki nizkoproračunskega B-filma. Ob mesenosti, ki se napenja pod korzeti, telesnih tekočinah, samopoškodbah, vprašanju lepote in tekmovalnosti, pa tudi samozavedanju ženske telesnosti moramo omeniti dve francoski predhodnici, Julio Ducournau s filmom Titan (2021) in Coralie Fargeat s Substanco (2024). Vse čistune, ki bi morda oporekali suverenemu mešanju žanrov in svobodni interpretaciji Pepelke, ki si jo je privoščila Emilie Blichfeldt, pa bi bilo treba opozoriti na to, da so znameniti pravljičarji 19. stoletja, kot so Hans Christian Andersen in brata Grimm, znali za svoje obdobje podobno spretno vnašati v pripovedi krutost in družbeno kritiko z nasilnimi in seksualnimi podtoni ... Zagotovo ena presežnih filmskih izkušenj leta.

"Da bi bralec mogel zavzeti pravilno stališče do načina, kako pravljice pripovedujem, sem prvim dal naslov: Pravljice, pripovedovane otrokom; svojo pripoved sem v svojem jeziku in izrazu vrgel na papir popolnoma tako, kakor sem pravljice ustno pripovedoval malčkom, in prišel sem do spoznanja, da so jih spremljali ljudje različne starosti; otroci so se najbolj zabavali nad tistim, čemur pravim štafaža ali nebistveni deli, starejši pa so se zanimali za globlje ideje." Tako v svoji avtobiografiji razmišlja eden največjih svetovnih pravljičarjev, Hans Christian Andersen, ki je izvrstno povzel vseživljenjsko aktualnost pravljic. Ob okrogli obletnici, aprila 2025 smo praznovali 220. obletnico njegovega rojstva, nedeljska oktobrska jutra na Prvem nadaljuje cikel radijskih iger za otroke, ki so nastale po njegovih zgodbah. Kot tretja slušni krog nadaljuje radijska upodobitev Kakor napravi stari, je zmerom prav. Gre za eno zabavnejših in hudomušnejših Hansovih zgodb, pripoveduje pa o tem, kako se ne trguje.

Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donateThe Little Mermaid" (Danish: Den lille havfrue, literally: "the little sea lady") is a very well known fairy tale by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. The tale was first published in 1837 and has been adapted to various media including musical theatre and animated film. But this tale is not the Disney version, all cleaned up and made pretty. This is the way Andersen wrote it. The Little Mermaid is indeed at the happy wedding of her beloved prince, but she is not the bride. And then she becomes a big bubble. Curious?

Hans Christian Andersen, el gran escritor de cuentos danés, viajó a España en 1862, a los 57 años, después de haber fantaseado toda su vida con nuestro país. Pero como nos cuenta Ana Cañil, autora de "Los amantes extranjeros", la piel de toro no estuvo a la altura de sus expectativas, sobre todo porque, al no haberse traducido aún su obra al español, aquí nadie sabía quién era y no se le agasajó como él esperaba. Estuvo en la Alhambra y se la encontró en obras, y encima no le recibió la reina Isabel. Disfrutó de Sevilla, de Barcelona, de San Sebastián, pero le decepcionó Madrid, le espantaron las corridas de toros y no se vio asaltado por ningún bandolero, que era una fantasía muy habitual en los viajeros románticos del siglo XIX. En contrapartida, su libro, "En España", es tan  decepcionante para los lectores como lo fue España para el autor de "La Sirenita", "El soldadito de plomo", "El traje nuevo del emperador" o "El patito feo". 

Comenzamos el programa de hoy con Aprende a mirar y esta semana lo hacemos a través de la basura. Nos acompaña Alfredo Ruibal, un arqueólogo,  para ofrecernos un análisis sobre los residuos que generamos.  Además, en Maximalismos, la sección donde sacamos el ranking de los rankings, hoy buscamos la mejor voz y nos ayuda Ruth Suárez, cantante, vocal coach e investigadora vocal. La periodista Ana Cañil, que tiene un libro maravilloso que se llama "Los amantes extranjeros" sobre los viajes de extranjeros ilustres por estas tierras, nos va a contar la visita que hizo a nuestro país Han Christian Andersen en 1862. Era un enamorado de España en la distancia, la cuestión es si siguió amándonos una vez que nos conoció.  Y terminamos por todo lo alto con la necrovista de Pepe Viyuela.

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!

Coucou everyone!You've heard the Disney versions — but the original tales? Not quite the same. In this episode of Europhile, we dive into the haunting, bizarre, and surprisingly spiritual world of Hans Christian Andersen. From a mermaid who gives everything up and turns into sea foam, to a thumb-sized girl nearly forced to marry a mole, to a mysterious Snow Queen who's more misunderstood than evil - these are not the stories you thought you knew. No happy endings. Just heartbreak, symbolism, and some of the darkest plots in European fairy tale history. Catherine then tells us about the Scandiavian concept of Logam.

I've been revisiting Ursula K. Le Guin's brilliant essay "The Child and the Shadow". Le Guin was defending fantasy against the sterile modernism of her era—but what happens when that defence needs to evolve? We're no longer fighting a battle between "good" and "bad" fantasy. Instead, we're caught in something potentially more insidious: the tension between authentic imagination and the ersatz. From the disaster of Rings of Power to the destruction of Star Wars, from AI-generated Jung content flooding YouTube to the Soviet-style creative orthodoxy dominating our cultural institutions—we're witnessing the systematic neutering of the imaginal. But here's the thing: they can't actually touch the real. They break upon authentic creativity like waves upon rock. Through Le Guin's profound analysis of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Shadow" and Jung's psychology, I explore why confronting our shadow isn't just personal development—it's the key to understanding why authentic fantasy endures while corporate imitations crumble. Plus, I reveal how Bulgakov got there first in The Master and Margarita, showing us exactly what happens when the vital imaginal meets bureaucratic control. This isn't just about books or movies. It's about the difference between surface-level engagement and the depths where real creativity lives.
