Seit vielen Jahren kooperieren die Bibliotheken in Marzahn-Hellersdorf mit der Hans-Werner-Henze-Musikschule. In den Bibliotheken finden Konzerte statt, die Musikbibliothek bietet mit ihrem Bestand an Noten, Partituren und auch digitalen Möglichkeiten den Lehrenden und Lernenden der Musikschule eine große Unterstützung. Deren Leiterin Yvonne Moser fördert diese Zusammenarbeit aktiv und hat auch Pläne, wie man sie in Zukunft noch ausbauen könnte. Sie war bei uns zu Gast im Podcast und hat in einem interessanten und lebendigen Gespräch erzählt, dass Musik schon immer eine wichtige Rolle in ihrem Leben gespielt hat und wie ihre berufliche Entwicklung dem Rechnung getragen hat. Als sie die Leitung der Musikschule übernommen hatte, musste sie schweren Herzens die Lehrtätigkeit an den Nagel hängen. Diese Entscheidung hat dazu beigetragen, dass sie mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen den Lehrenden und Lernenden gegenüber agiert. "Gibt es einen typischen Arbeitstag als Leiterin der Musikschule?", haben wir sie gefragt. "Nein!", war die Antwort, weil jeder Tag neue Herausforderungen mit sich bringt. Ein Einblick in das Leben einer Frau, die sich voll und ganz der Musik verschrieben hat.WEBSEITE DER MUSIKSCHULE MAZAHN-HELLERSDORF:https://www.berlin.de/musikschule-mh/

Episode 171 Chapter 30, EMS Analog Synthesizers. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.

Daria Biagi"La metà della vita!Terézia MoraGramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.itMuna ha diciotto anni e vive a Jüris, una piccola città della Ddr. Abita con sua madre, attrice del teatro comunale che, dopo la morte del marito, annega nell'alcol il dispiacere di vivere. Mentre sogna di raggiungere Berlino, Muna frequenta come tirocinante la redazione della “Voce del popolo”, la rivista ospitata nell'appartamento di Noah Klein. Tra i vecchi scaffali della rivista si beve vino rosso e cola, ci si rimpinza di patatine, si raccontano barzellette. Un giorno compare in redazione l'addetto alla fotografia. Magnus ha occhi azzurri e una ruga di rabbia tra le sopracciglia. È l'uomo più bello che Muna abbia mai visto. Una sera, Magnus l'accompagna in bicicletta e sale nel suo appartamento. L'indomani le dice che starà via tre settimane e scompare. Scompare per anni così come scompare la Ddr, sprofondata di colpo nel nulla, insieme con il Muro. Tra Berlino e Vienna, tra relazioni fugaci e attenzioni indesiderate, Muna conduce la sua esistenza di giovane universitaria. Finché Magnus non ricompare per diventare la sua ragione di vita e… il suo inferno. Muna naufraga nella devozione a un uomo anaffettivo, in un rapporto fatto di continui ricatti, di sottili denigrazioni, di aggressività e manipolazione psicologica. Un rapporto in cui precipita senza alcuna possibilità di liberazione. Accolto con grande favore dalla critica e dal pubblico in Germania, La metà della vita non racconta semplicemente la storia di un amore tossico. Muna è, nelle sue pagine, un'icona delle donne nelle quali vive “una combinazione di illusioni tranquillamente alimentate dall'egoismo e di dedizione sacrificale all'oggetto d'amore” (“Süddeutsche Zeitung”). La maestria con la quale Terézia Mora descrive l'isolamento brutale, la negazione della realtà e il coraggio con cui Muna mantiene la speranza di un amore diverso da tutti consegna alla narrativa contemporanea uno dei personaggi femminili più profondi e inquietanti degli ultimi anni.Terézia Mora è nata nel 1971 a Sopron, in Ungheria, e vive a Berlino dal 1990. Per i suoi racconti e romanzi ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui il Premio Ingeborg Bachmann, il Kunstpreis Berlin, il Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse, il Deutscher Buchpreis e, nel 2018, il Premio Georg Büchner. I suoi libri sono stati tradotti in 20 lingue. Per Feltrinelli Gramma ha pubblicato La metà della vita (2024).Daria Biagi ha studiato Lettere a Bologna e Francoforte, e lavora attualmente presso La Sapienza di Roma.

Jeden Vormittag komponiert sie. Am selben Tisch zur immer gleichen Zeit, in Stille, mit Stift und Papier. Mehr braucht Lucia Ronchetti nicht, damit die Ideen sprudeln. Sie hat ihre Musik im Kopf. Diese eigene Welt, in die Lucia Ronchetti sich beim Komponieren begibt, war für sie schon immer ein Zufluchtsort: Vor allem während ihrer schwierigen Jugend in Rom. Allerdings interessierte sich erstmal kaum jemand für ihre Kompositionen. Bis sie eins ihrer Werke an Hans Werner Henze schickte. Er wurde zu einem wichtigen Mentor und Förderer. Mittlerweile zählt Lucia Ronchetti zu einer der führenden zeitgenössischen Komponistinnen. Ihr Spezialgebiet ist das Musiktheater. Dabei experimentiert sie mit unterschiedlichsten Formen: Von kurzen performanceartigen Stücken für ein Soloinstrument über Kammeropern hin zu abendfüllenden Werken. Im Rahmen vom Lucerne Festival fand vor Kurzem die Schweizer Erstaufführung ihrer neuen Oper «Der Doppelgänger» am Luzerner Theater statt. Ausserdem ist Lucia Ronchetti seit 2021 künstlerische Leiterin der Biennale Musica Venedig – als erste Frau in deren Geschichte. Ende September eröffnet sie ihre vierte und letzte Festivalausgabe.

On Monday June 3, 2024, a new memorial plaque commemorating African American mezzo-soprano Vera Little (10 December 1928 – 24 October 2012) was unveiled at her former residence in Berlin's Charlottenburg neighborhood. Little is remembered today as the first Black singer to appear as Carmen on the stage of Berlin's Städtische Oper, soon to be renamed the Deutsche Oper Berlin. At the time of that appearance there were cries and protests about her hiring instead of an “equally capable” German singer. And yet, when Little returned to the stage of the Deutsche Oper in 1963, now singing the role of Amneris, she became one of the central singers in the ensemble of that company, being named a Kammersängerin there in 1970. This episode examines the life and career of Vera Little, from her birth in Memphis through her decades-long residence in Berlin. It is a fascinating, circuitous path, and one which is documented only sporadically on recording. On this episode, I play excerpts from Little's only solo recording, a 1957 Decca records release of spirituals recorded in France, as well as her recordings on Deutsche Grammophon of Der junge Lord by Hans Werner Henze, and Richard Strauss's Daphne. In addition, there are live recordings of Little singing Baba the Turk in Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, Giovanna Seymour in Donizetti's Anna Bolena, and Beroe in Henze's Die Bassariden, which Little created in its 1966 world premiere at the Salzburg Festival. Vera Little was also an author, who published four books of memoir and poetry, and just yesterday I obtained a copy of her first book, 1978's Tears in My Eyes, from which I read a number of excerpts. I had known Little's name for decades, but had never fully explored her legacy before. It is here (and on an accompanying bonus episode) my honor and privilege to present a great (and somewhat forgotten) artist for your delectation. Today's vocal guest stars include Kostas Paskalis, Hilde Güden, Anneliese Rothenberger, and Teresa Żylis-Gara. 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.

Lately I have been doing a series of episodes on artists that in my opinion deserve a reassessment, a second glance, if you will. Edda Moser is almost universally regarded as the “best” Queen of the Night that ever walked the earth. Certainly she is the most ominous and menacing, as well as the most monumental of voice and delivery. But there is a false narrative surrounding Frau Moser that over the course of her career, she lost control of her voice and pursued a repertoire that destroyed her voice. In this episode, I plead exactly the opposite: that Moser moved naturally and with dedicated assurance into the heavier roles of Strauss and Wagner, and that her voice from its origins displayed affinity for these more dramatic parts. Some of Edda Moser's earliest successes were in the stratospheric vocal compositions of Hans Werner Henze, in which she displayed a fearless and limitless virtuosity. During her long career, her roles spanned nearly the entire range of the soprano repertoire, everything from her supreme Mozart characterizations to Hanna Glawari to Nedda to Iphigénie to Senta to Salome. Recently, some late-career live recordings of Edda Moser have appeared on the landscape, and instead of recycling one of my two previous Moser episodes, I have selected choice tidbits from these recordings, as well as more readily available material, that show Moser in all facets of her artistry, focusing on the epic, perhaps, but not overlooking her delicacy, sensitivity, pathos, charm, and delicious sense of humor. Guest singers heard on the episode include some of the finest baritones active during this period, including Siegmund Nimsgern, Hermann Prey, Gerd Feldhoff, Claudio Nicolai, and Robert Hale. Conductors include Heinrich Hollreiser, Riccardo Muti, Herbert Blomstedt, Lovro von Matačić, Christoph von Dohnányi, Kent Nagano, and many others. Give this episode a listen and may find yourself agreeing with me that she is one of the supreme classical vocalists of the twentieth century.

In Klagenfurt suchte Ingeborg Bachmann Abstand. Und hielt es doch nie lange aus. Kehrte sie in ihr dortiges Elternhaus zurück, wich sie sofort wieder in den Wald oder an den Wörthersee aus. Vor 50 Jahren, am 17. Oktober 1973 ist die Schriftstellerin gestorben, noch nicht einmal 50 Jahre alt. Ihr Nachthemd war versengt worden, vermutlich ausgelöst durch eine Zigarette, Wegen ihrer Tablettensucht spürte sie das nicht mehr, sie kam ins Spital, aber die Ärzte wussten nicht über ihre Tablettensucht Bescheid. So starb sie drei Wochen nach dem Unfall an Brandverletzungen und Entzugserscheinungen. Zu ihrem 50. Todestag wiederholen wir eine Archivperle vom 26.6.1996: eine musikalische Hommage an die rätselhafte Dichterin – mit ihrer Stimme, Interviewausschnitten und mit Musik von Hans Werner Henze, Luigi Nono und Adriana Hölszky.

Interview with bass-baritone Davóne Tines

Heralded as "[one] of the most powerful voices of our time" by the Los Angeles Times, bass-baritone Davóne Tines has come to international attention as a path-breaking artist whose work not only encompasses a diverse repertoire but also explores the social issues of today. As a Black, gay, classically trained performer at the intersection of many histories, cultures, and aesthetics, Tines is engaged in work that blends opera, art song, contemporary classical music, spirituals, gospel, and songs of protest, as a means to tell a deeply personal story of perseverance that connects to all of humanity. Davóne Tines is Musical America's 2022 Vocalist of the Year. During the 2022-23 season, he continues his role as the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale's first-ever Creative Partner and, beginning in January 2023, he will serve as Brooklyn Academy of Music's first Artist in Residence in more than a decade. In addition to strategic planning, programming, and working within the community, this season Tines curates the “Artist as Human” program, exploring how each artist's subjectivity—be it their race, gender, sexuality, etc.—informs performance, and how these perspectives develop throughout their repertoire. In the fall of 2022, Tines makes a number of important debuts at prominent New York institutions, including the Park Avenue Armory, New York Philharmonic, BAM, and Carnegie Hall, continuing to establish a strong presence in the city's classical scene. He opens his season with the New York premiere of Tyshawn Sorey's Monochromatic Light (Afterlife) at the Park Avenue Armory, also doubling as Tines' Armory debut. Inspired by one of Sorey's most important influences, Morton Feldman and his work Rothko Chapel, Monochromatic Light (Afterlife) takes after Feldman's focus on expansive textures and enveloping sounds, aiming to create an all-immersive experience. Tine's solo part was written specifically for him by Sorey, marking a third collaboration between the pair; Sorey previously created arrangements for Tines' Recital No. 1: MASS and Concerto No. 2: ANTHEM. Peter Sellars directs, with whom Davóne collaborated in John Adam's opera Girls of the Golden West and Kaija Saariaho's Only the Sound Remains. Tines' engagements continue with Everything Rises, an original, evening length staged musical work he created with violinist Jennifer Koh, premiering in New York as part of the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival. Everything Rises tells the story of Tines' and Koh's artistic journeys and family histories through music, projections, and recorded interviews. As a platform, it also centers the need for artists of color to be seen and heard. Everything Rises premiered in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles in April 2022, with the LA Times commenting, “Koh and Tines' stories have made them what they are, but their art needs to be—and is—great enough to tell us who they are.” This season also has Tines making his New York Philharmonic debut performing in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, led by Jaap van Zweden. Tines returns to the New York Philharmonic in the spring to sing the Vox Christi in Bach's St. Matthew Passion, also under van Zweden. Tines is a musician who takes full agency of his work, devising performances from conception to performance. His Recital No. 1: MASS program reflects this ethos, combining traditional music with pieces by J.S. Bach, Margaret Bonds, Moses Hogan, Julius Eastman, Caroline Shaw, Tyshawn Sorey, and Tines. This season, he makes his Carnegie Hall recital debut performing MASS at Weill Hall, and later brings the program to the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, Baltimore's Shriver Hall, for the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, and as part of Boston's Celebrity Series. Concerto No. 1: SERMON is a similar artistic endeavor, combining pieces including John Adams' El Niño; Vigil, written by Tines and Igée Dieudonné with orchestration by Matthew Aucoin; “You Want the Truth, but You Don't Want to Know,” from Anthony Davis' X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X; and poems from Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, and Maya Angelou into a concert performance. In May 2021, Tines performed Concerto No. 1: SERMON with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He recently premiered Concerto No. 2: ANTHEM—created by Tines with music by Michael Schachter, Caroline Shaw, Tyshawn Sorey, and text by Mahogany L. Browne—with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Also this season, Tines performs in El Niño with the Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by composer John Adams; a concert performance of Adams' Girls of the Golden West with the Los Angeles Philharmonic also led by Adams; and a chamber music recital with the New World Symphony.Going beyond the concert hall, Davóne Tines also creates short music films that use powerful visuals to accentuate the social and poetic dimensions of the music. In September 2020, Lincoln Center presented his music film VIGIL, which pays tribute to Breonna Taylor, the EMT and aspiring nurse who was shot and killed by police in her Louisville home, and whose tragic death has fueled an international outcry. Created in collaboration with Igée Dieudonné, and Conor Hanick, the work was subsequently arranged for orchestra by Matthew Aucoin and premiered in a live-stream by Tines and the Louisville Orchestra, conducted by Teddy Abrams. Aucoin's orchestration is also currently part of Tines' Concerto No. 1: SERMON. He also co-created Strange Fruit with Jennifer Koh, a film juxtaposing violence against Asian Americans with Ken Ueno's arrangement of “Strange Fruit” — which the duo perform in Everything Rises — directed by dramaturg Kee-Yoon Nahm. The work premiered virtually as part of Carnegie Hall's “Voices of Hope Series.” Additional music films include FREUDE, an acapella “mashup” of Beethoven with African-American hymns that was shot, produced, and edited by Davóne Tines at his hometown church in Warrenton, Virginia and presented virtually by the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale; EASTMAN, a micro-biographical film highlighting the life and work of composer Julius Eastman; and NATIVE SON, in which Tines sings the Black national anthem, “Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing,” and pays homage to the '60s Civil Rights-era motto “I am a man.” The latter film was created for the fourth annual Native Son Awards, which celebrate Black, gay excellence. Further online highlights include appearances as part of Boston Lyric Opera's new miniseries, desert in, marking his company debut; LA Opera at Home's Living Room Recitals; and the 2020 NEA Human and Civil Rights Awards.Notable performances on the opera stage the world premiere performances of Kaija Saariaho's Only the Sound Remains directed by Peter Sellars at Dutch National Opera, Finnish National Opera, Opéra national de Paris, and Teatro Real (Madrid); the world and European premieres of John Adams and Peter Sellars' Girls of the Golden West at San Francisco Opera and Dutch National Opera, respectively; the title role in a new production of Anthony Davis' X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X with the Detroit Opera (where he was Artist in Residence during the 2021-22 season) and the Boston Modern Opera Project with Odyssey Opera in Boston where it was recorded for future release; the world premiere of Terence Blanchard and Kasi Lemmons' Fire Shut Up In My Bones at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis; the world premiere of Matthew Aucoin's Crossing, directed by Diane Paulus at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; a new production of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex at Lisbon's Teatro Nacional de São Carlos led by Leo Hussain; and Handel's rarely staged Aci, Galatea, e Polifemo at National Sawdust, presented in a new production by Christopher Alden. As a member of the American Modern Opera Company (AMOC), Tines served as a co-music director of the 2022 Ojai Music Festival, and has performed in Hans Werner Henze's El Cimarrón, John Adams' Nativity Reconsidered, and Were You There in collaboration with composers Matthew Aucoin and Michael Schachter.Davóne Tines is co-creator and co-librettist of The Black Clown, a music theater experience inspired by Langston Hughes' poem of the same name. The work, which was created in collaboration with director Zack Winokur and composer Michael Schachter, expresses a Black man's resilience against America's legacy of oppression—fusing vaudeville, opera, jazz, and spirituals to bring Hughes' verse to life onstage. The world premiere was given by the American Repertory Theater in 2018, and The Black Clown was presented by Lincoln Center in summer 2019.Concert appearances have included John Adams' El Niño with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under Vladimir Jurowski, Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri with Louis Langrée and the Cincinnati Symphony, Kaija Saariaho's True Fire with the Orchestre national de France conducted by Olari Elts, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas leading the San Francisco Symphony, Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Royal Swedish Orchestra, and a program spotlighting music of resistance by George Crumb, Julius Eastman, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Caroline Shaw with conductor Christian Reif and members of the San Francisco Symphony at SoundBox. He also sang works by Caroline Shaw and Kaija Saariaho alongside the Calder Quartet and International Contemporary Ensemble at the Ojai Music Festival. In May 2021, Tines sang in Tulsa Opera's concert Greenwood Overcomes, which honored the resilience of Black Tulsans and Black America one hundred years after the Tulsa Race Massacre. That event featured Tines premiering “There are Many Trails of Tears,” an aria from Anthony Davis' opera-in-progress Fire Across the Tracks: Tulsa 1921.Davóne Tines is a winner of the 2020 Sphinx Medal of Excellence, recognizing extraordinary classical musicians of color who, early in their career, demonstrate artistic excellence, outstanding work ethic, a spirit of determination, and an ongoing commitment to leadership and their communities. In 2019 he was named as one of Time Magazine's Next Generation Leaders. He is also the recipient of the 2018 Emerging Artists Award given by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and is a graduate of The Juilliard School and Harvard University, where he teaches a semester-length course “How to be a Tool: Storytelling Across Disciplines” in collaboration with director Zack Winokur.The Truth In This ArtThe Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting vibrancy and development of Baltimore & beyond's arts and culture. To find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory. Stay in TouchNewsletter sign-upSupport my podcastShareable link to episode ★ Support this podcast ★

Daria Biagi"I morti dell'isola di Djal e altri racconti" Anna SeghersL'Orma Editorehttps://www.lormaeditore.it/Si narra che sull'isola di Djal i morti «proprio non ce la facciano a starsene tranquilli» ed escano dalle tombe per scorrazzare lungo le scogliere. Per fortuna il parroco locale, un omone rude ed energico, sa come trattare i trapassati che non si rassegnano all'eterno riposo… Con tale vicenda, al contempo gotica e ironica, si apre questa raccolta che attraversa la vasta ed eterogenea produzione novellistica di Anna Seghers.Nella prosa affabulatoria della grande scrittrice tedesca – capace di alternare sorprendenti rielaborazioni dei miti greci a coinvolgenti ritratti di destini novecenteschi – la nave degli Argonauti trova un nuovo, onirico approdo, gesti di insospettabile eroismo si consumano tra i vicoli della Parigi occupata, la numinosa dea Artemide continua le sue cacce in foreste sempre più disboscate, un defunto mantiene una regolare corrispondenza con il padre emigrato in Palestina, mentre la parabola di un giovane tedesco qualsiasi ci mostra in poche, fulminanti pagine «come si diventa nazisti».Le storie de I morti dell'isola di Djal e altre leggende – qui pubblicate per la prima volta in italiano – descrivono le sfide e i misteri di un mondo reso splendido e meno crudele dalla necessaria solidarietà tra i vivi.Anna Seghers (1900-1983) è stata una delle maggiori romanziere tedesche del Novecento. Con la novella La rivolta dei pescatori di Santa Barbara (premio Kleist nel 1928) si rivelò come autrice di libri di appassionato e vibrante realismo. Militante comunista, salpando da Marsiglia alla volta del Messico trovò fortunosamente riparo dalle persecuzioni naziste. Il suo La settima croce (1942), circolato in clandestinità, divenne un prezioso vademecum di resistenza e libertà. In Germania Est fu la prima donna a capo dell'Unione scrittori. Celebrato come un capolavoro da autori quali Heinrich Böll e Christa Wolf, definito dalla «New York Times Book Review» come «la perfetta anatomia della mente di un profugo», Transito (1944) fu scritto «di furia» a ridosso degli eventi che racconta, tra la clandestinità, l'oceano e il Messico, ed è qui proposto per la prima volta in una traduzione basata sul nuovo testo originale stabilito dalla recente edizione critica delle opere dell'autrice.Daria Biagi ha studiato Lettere a Bologna e Francoforte, e lavora attualmente presso La Sapienza di Roma.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!Ingeborg Bachmann, (born June 25, 1926, Klagenfurt, Austria—died Oct. 17, 1973, Rome, Italy), was an Austrian author whose somber, surreal writings often deal with women in failed love relationships, the nature of art and humanity, and the inadequacy of language. Bachmann grew up in Kärnten during World War II and was educated at the Universities of Graz, Innsbruck, and Vienna. She received a doctoral degree in philosophy from Vienna in 1950. Bachmann's literary career began in earnest in 1952, when she read her poetry to members of the avant-garde Gruppe 47. She produced two volumes of verse, Die gestundete Zeit (1953; “Borrowed Time”), about the sense of urgency produced by the passage of time, and Anrufung des grossen Bären (1956; “Invocation of the Great Bear”), featuring poems of fantasy and mythology. Of her several radio plays, the best known is Der gute Gott von Manhattan (1958; “The Good God of Manhattan” in Three Radio Plays). First broadcast on May 29, 1958, it is about a couple attacked by a covert group that seeks to destroy all traces of love.Following Bachmann's five landmark lectures on literature at the University of Frankfurt in 1959–60, she shifted her focus from poetry to fiction. During this period she also wrote the libretti for Hans Werner Henze's operas Der Prinz von Homberg (1960; from a play by Heinrich von Kleist) and Der junge Lord(1965; from a fable by Wilhelm Hauff). Among her prose writings are Das dreissigtse Jahr(1961; The Thirtieth Year) and the lyrical novel Malina (1971; Eng. trans. Malina). She also published essays, stories, and more radio plays. Her death by fire may have been a suicide.Much attention was given to Bachmann's work both in her lifetime and after her death, and several of her writings were translated into English. A volume of selected poems, In the Storm of Roses, was published in 1986; it was the inspiration for Elizabeth Vercoe's composition In the Storm: Four Songs on Texts by Ingeborg Bachmann for medium voice, clarinet, and piano. Some of Bachmann's stories were translated in Three Paths to the Lake (1989), and a bilingual edition of her collected poems, translated and introduced by Peter Filkins, was published as Songs in Flight(1995). Fragments of two novels intended to complete the trilogy begun with Malina were translated and published together in a single volume entitled The Book of Franza & Requiem for Fanny Goldmann (1999).From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ingeborg-Bachmann. For more information about Ingeborg Bachmann:“Every Day”: https://www.guernicamag.com/ingeborg_bachmann_7_1_11/“Ingeborg Bachmann”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/ingeborg-bachmann“Feminize Your Canon: Ingeborg Bachmann”: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/07/09/feminize-your-canon-ingeborg-bachmann/

Töten. Ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken. Lieben. Und sich nach Gegenliebe sehnen. Als Spross einer erfolgreichen britischen Scharfrichter-Dynastie hat der begabte und früh berufene Henker Rupert Beaufort jahrzehntelang sein Gewissen unter Kontrolle, seine Emotionen im Griff und die öffentliche Meinung auf seiner Seite. Hunderte von tadellos ausgeführten Exekutionen gehen auf sein Konto. Doch nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges muss er sich neuen, unerwarteten Herausforderungen stellen und immer größere Hürden überwinden, um seines makabren Amtes zu walten. Auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn sieht er sich gezwungen, den italienischen Pianisten Sandro Magazzano, ein ehemaliges Wunderkind, hinzurichten: einen ebenfalls hochtalentierten Mann, der wie er bis zum Äußersten zu gehen bereit ist. Jens Rosteck zeigt in seinem fesselnden Romandebüt, wie herrschende Moral und individuelle Gefühle zwei ungleiche Einzelkämpfer und Vorbilder in kaum lösbare Konflikte stürzen. Und wie problematisch Verkündung wie Vollstreckung der Todesstrafe zu allen Zeiten gewesen sind, wenn, wie hier, im England der Fünfzigerjahre, geltendes Recht mit Menschenwürde und dem ewigen Anspruch auf Zuneigung und Gerechtigkeit kollidiert. Jens Rosteck, 1962 geboren, lebte viele Jahre in Paris und an der Côte d'Azur, wo er neben Essays zur Musik- und Literaturgeschichte eine Reihe von literarischen Biografien verfasste, u. a. über Paul Bowles, Kurt Weill, Oscar Wilde und Bob Dylan. Zuletzt publizierte er viel beachtete Monografien über Hans Werner Henze und Édith Piaf. Der promovierte Musikwissenschaftler, Kulturgeschichtler, Pianist und Autor mehrerer Städteporträts wohnt heute im Badischen.

In den späten 1930er-Jahren gewährte ein neuer Highway an der Küste Kaliforniens erstmals einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit Zutritt zu einem einsamen Landstrich voller überwältigender Naturwunder: Big Sur. Angezogen von der Aura dieses schroffen, windumtosten Küstenstreifens, versuchten sich in der Folge namhafte Künstler wie Henry Miller, Joan Baez oder Jack Kerouac an einem Dasein in der Einsamkeit und erprobten einen Lebensstil, der heute kaum noch Aufsehen erregt, seinerzeit aber Wagemut und Pioniergeist erforderte: das Aufgehen im Naturerlebnis, Kontemplation und Konzentration aufs Wesentliche. In seinem facettenreichen Porträt dieser mythischen Landschaft zeigt Jens Rosteck, wie Big Sur das Schaffen mehrerer Künstlergenerationen in einer Weise prägte, die bis heute Widerhall nicht nur in der amerikanischen Kultur erzeugt. Jens Rosteck, 1962 geboren, lebte viele Jahre in Paris und an der Côte d'Azur, wo er neben Essays zur Musik- und Literaturgeschichte eine Reihe von literarischen Biografien verfasste, u. a. über Paul Bowles, Kurt Weill, Oscar Wilde und Bob Dylan.

Synopsis The 1985 Salzburg Festival boasted a quite unusual premiere: a 17th century Venetian opera by the Italian Baroque composer Claudio Monteverdi entitled “Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria,” or “The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland,” as arranged and orchestrated by the contemporary German composer Hans Werner Henze. The surviving music for Monteverdi's opera does not exist in what we now call “full score.” Monteverdi wrote down a bare 5-part accompaniment to the vocal lines of his opera, without indicating what specific instruments he meant to play those notes. This means for any modern performance someone needs to make those decisions. For their 1985 summer season, the Salzburg Festival commissioned Henze to prepare a new orchestration of Monteverdi's “Return of Ulysses” 245 years after its first performance in Venice back in 1640. The music critics, in the main, were complimentary after Henze's version premiered in Salzburg, noting that his scoring somehow managed to sound both ancient and modern at the same time. Even though we'll never know EXACTLY how the opera sounded when Monteverdi heard it back in 1640, thanks to modern technology, that 1985 Salzburg performance can be sampled in both audio and video recordings.

Over de man die het vak van onder anderen Leonard Bernstein en Seiji Ozawa leerde en die het werk van de Amerikaan John Adams heel goed aanvoelt. Stenz laat het orkest meer vrijheid dan zijn voorganger Van Zweden, die natuurlijk op zíjn manier geweldige resultaten bereikt: bij Stenz is het “alsof je als puber het huis uitgaat”.  Opvallend is Stenz' voorliefde voor complexe partituren, van Glanerts Caligula en Kurtágs Fin de Partie (niet in de Matinee) tot de opera's van Hans Werner Henze en Jörg Widmanns immense Babylon. Hij is een “gids in het Duits-Oostenrijkse repertoire”, en net als Widmann is hij een denker, die “vier stappen vooruit denkt”, meent Van Rijn. Stenz streeft immer naar transparantie en weet in het hoofd van de componist te duiken. Zelfs oudere muziek dirigeert hij alsof de bedenker ervan nog leeft.

Das Archiv der Paul Sacher Stiftung ist europaweit einzigartig und das renommierteste Archiv für die Musik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Ein Streifzug durch die klimatisierten, gesicherten Räume und Tresore, wo in säurefreien Mappen unschätzbare Dokumente für die Ewigkeit konserviert werden. «Ich hatte gar keine Wahl!» Mit diesen Worten kommentierte Paul Sacher seinen Eintritt in den Verwaltungsrat des Basler Pharmakonzerns Hoffmann-La Roche nach seiner Heirat mit Maja Hoffmann-Stehlin, der Witwe des Mehrheitsaktionärs. Jahre und Millionen später hatte er die Wahl. Und er wählte klug und nachhaltig, wurde der berühmteste Mäzen der Schweiz und vergab über zweihundert Kompositionsaufträge an mehr als sechzig Komponisten, darunter Béla Bartók, Arthur Honegger oder Hans Werner Henze und Bohuslav Martin?. Mit seinem Orchester, dem Basler Kammerorchester, führte er die Werke auf, die bis heute zum Kanon der Moderne gehören. Dieses Erbe galt und gilt es zu bewahren. So wurde in den 70er Jahren die Paul Sacher Stiftung gegründet – und ein paar Jahre später das Paul Sacher Archiv. Erstausstrahlung: 16.3.2018

(Rec. 12 July 2020) Swedish Singer, Composer, Arranger  and Painter Sophie Duner has been making waves in international Jazz/Contemporary/Avantgarde circles with her uniquely blended sound uniting the romantic and the spiritually elevated with the bold dissonance of satire drenched in tense colours that resolve into unpredictable  scapes of expansion. Drawing heavily on a variety of composers like Kurt Weill, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Hans Werner Henze, Dizzy Gillespie & Stravinsky to create what has been described as 'Dúneresque' by Grammy Award winning Producer Michael Haas. Based between Sweden and the US, the Berklee graduate mentored by the likes of George Garzone, Hal Crook and Ed Tomassi continues to fascinate with provocative melanges of sonic and visual colour.

He speaks candidly about continuing to want to compose pieces that challenge, and shares his thoughts about how Covid-19 might change the music scene over the coming years. In light of the recent death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in the USA, Kate reflects on the discourses of solidarity we’ve heard from within the music world and the wider issue of racism in classical music with composer Eleanor Alberga. Kate also asks Heather Wiebe from King's College London to review a new book, 'Aaron Copland's Hollywood Film Scores', by the musicologist Paula Musegades who argues that the composer used movies to try out his new 'American sound'. And we talk to Maggie Rodford, managing director of one of UK's busiest recording studios, about the impact of Covid-19 on the film and TV music recording industry.

"La reflexión sobre el tiempo como una categoría fenomenológica, el contenido que se articula en la música a través de la forma temporal, siempre ha sido importante para mí como compositor. Aquí, el pensamiento temporal debe entenderse tanto estructuralmente como en categorías de la historia y el presente, la tradición y el progreso estético. El progreso estético es una necesidad interna para mí, sobre todo la forma en que históricamente se legitima a sí mismo, recurriendo a la tradición a través del filtro de la reflexión, creciendo a partir de ella y consciente o inconscientemente, construyéndola". Son palabras del compositor alemán Ernst Helmuth Flammer, nacido en Heilbronn en 1949, a cuya obra "Interferenza Mente Sovrapposizione" (escrita entre los años 1988 y 1990) dedicamos esta edición de Ars Sonora. Flammer estudió Matemáticas y Física entre 1969 y 1972. Después comenzó sus estudios de teoría musical con Peter Förtig (desde 1973 hasta 1979), así como de Musicología, Historia del Arte y Filosofía con Hans Heinrich Eggebrecht, en la ciudad de Friburgo, de 1972 a 1980. Su tesis doctoral estuvo dedicada a las músicas de Luigi Nono y Hans Werner Henze. Sus maestros en el ámbito específico de la composición fueron Klaus Huber, Brian Ferneyhough y Paul-Heinz Dittrich. La extensa composición "Interferenza Mente Sovrapposizione" fue escrita para violonchelo (Werner F. Selge, en la versión que presentamos), orquesta (la Südwestrundfunk -SWR- Sinfonieorchester, con sedes en Baden-Baden y Friburgo, dirigida aquí por Lothar Zagrosek) y electrónica en vivo (con el propio Ernst Helmuth Flammer como responsable en esta ocasión, asistido por Lee Dong Oung al frente del Experimentalstudio de la SWR). Escuchamos la primera grabación de la obra, que tuvo lugar el 4 de abril de 1990 en el estudio Hans Rosbaud de la SWR en Baden-Baden, y que ha sido editado en cedé por el sello NEOS gracias al apoyo de la Fundación BBVA. En este trabajo la electrónica en vivo desempeña -según el propio autor- un papel solista comparable al del violonchelo, instrumento con el cual continuamente dialoga. Es particularmente destacable la labor realizada por Flammer en el dominio de la espacialización sonora, mediante el uso del Halaphon -una herramienta específicamente desarrollada para este fin por Han-Peter Haller en el Experimentalstudio de la Südwestrundfunk-. Igualmente original es el rol de la orquesta, que en esta ambiciosa composición -que nosotros presentamos en su integridad, de unos cincuenta minutos en total- simplemente opera como un mero acompañamiento de los entrecruzamientos sonoros protagonizados conjuntamente por el violonchelo y la electrónica.

Today we examine the fascinating and somewhat frustrating career of Gloria Davy (1931-2012). Yet another African American singer who found greater opportunity abroad than in the United States, Davy has the distinction of being the first Black singer to perform the title role of Verdi's Aida at the Metropolitan Opera, which role served as her debut in 1958. Another early career success came when she replaced Leontyne Price as Bess in an international tour of Porgy and Bess. Her earliest recordings, both live and studio, reveal a voice of uncommon beauty with an interpretive sensitivity to match. A superb musician, Davy also sang contemporary music throughout her career, including important premieres by Hans Werner Henze and Karlheinz Stockhausen. One must ask the question, however, if her voice would have been better served had she not turned to sung Bess and Aida so early in her career, but had instead had access to roles such as Anna Bolena, which she sang brilliantly at Town Hall in New York in 1957. The episode includes a rare airing of Davy's 1956 album of Spirituals, in arrangements by the lesser-known African American composer Julia Perry and excerpts from her recordings of Shulamit Ran's O the Chimneys, on poems by Nelly Sachs, and the 1972 revision of Stockhausen's momentous Momente. Countermelody is a new podcast devoted to the glories of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great classical and opera singers of the past and present with the help of guests from the classical music field: singers, conductors, composers, coaches, agents, and voice teachers. 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 interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

In this episode of The Metropolitan Opera Guild Podcast, lecturer and podcast co-host Naomi Barrettara takes a closer look at this French masterpiece.

Lucasta Miller is a writer fascinated by the Romantic, and the dark excesses of the Gothic. Her latest subject is a poet, Letitia Landon, whose life was scandalous and whose sudden death is like a scene from a detective novel. In her day, Landon was an icon, hailed as a “female Byron” – and a favourite of the Brontë sisters, who were the subject of Lucasta Miller’s previous book. Both biographies were years in the making, partly because they involved such meticulous research, partly because Lucasta Miller was at the same time writing journalism, editing books, teaching English to refugees, bringing up children and generally holding together a household, the other half of which is the singer Ian Bostridge. In Private Passions, Lucasta Miller talks to Michael Berkeley about her lasting obsession with the gothic, and about the dark secrets concealed in Letitia Landon’s life. The theme of dark secrets takes her to the first German Romantic opera, Weber’s Der Freischütz, and the terrifying Wolf’s Glen. She discusses too what biographers can bring to our understanding of music and chooses a song by Clara Schumann, written just as she was on the point of marriage to Robert. And in relation to her own husband, Lucasta talks honestly about how difficult the life of a professional musician is, both for them and for their family at home. Does husband Ian Bostridge make it onto the playlist? As she says, she felt she was damned if she chose him, damned if she didn’t. So she does include him in the end, singing a lyrical song by Hans-Werner Henze which was written for Bostridge. Other musical choices include Maria Callas singing from Bellini’s Norma, and the Bach cello suites played by Stephen Isserlis. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3 Produced by Elizabeth Burke

The tonebase Classical Guitar Podcast, with David Steinhardt

In this episode, we hear from one of today’s most avid commissioners of new guitar works and current chair of the guitar department at San Francisco Conservatory, David Tanenbaum. The conversation dives deep into David’s experiences working with legendary composers of the last decade including Toru Takemitsu, Steve Reich, and Hans Werner Henze. One fascinating story David shares is how Henze asked him to construct many of the chords in his Guitar Concerto by initially providing him with 10 notes and saying, "I kind of like all these notes, you make the chords!" David also talks about the importance of actively commissioning new works for the classical guitar and ways to get modern composers excited about doing so. Intro Music: Brandenburg Concerto 6 (J.S.

Som 17-åring inbjöds hon till New York för en solokonsert och stannade kvar. Lera Auerbach, från radioaktiva, ryska staden Chelyabinsk, är nu en av de främsta tonsättarna och spelas världen över.   Tillfälligheternas spel är en programserie i fem avsnitt. I första programmet möter vi tonsättaren, konsertpianisten, författaren, skulptören och bildkonstnären Lera Auerbach. Ett underbarn vars första opera framfördes inför publik när hon var 8 år. Jag möter denna renässanskvinna, som har kallats ett universalgeni, i Köpenhamn. Hon bjuder in mig till en liten våning i det nybyggda området i Nordhamnen. Högt upp, stora fönster och i det största rummet tronar en flygel. -Jag hyr lägenheten enbart p g a flygeln, säger hon. Ja, det var tillfälligheternas spel som gjorde att Lera Auerbach redan som 17-åring fick möjlighet att lämna den radioaktiva staden Chelyabinsk, resa till New York och utvecklas till den internationellt välrenommerade konstnär hon är idag. Hon anlände ensam till New York, utan att kunna språket, utan att känna någon. Hon skulle stanna i två veckor. Året var 1991 och sex veckor innan Sovjetunionens fall. - Jag hade inga pengar och kunde inte språket. Men mina föräldrar var modiga och sa att detta är ett beslut som kommer att förändra ditt liv för alltid. Vad du än beslutar så är det rätt beslut! Lera Auerbach tog senare examen i piano och även i komposition vid Julliard School of Music i New York. Och som pianist även vid Hochschule für Musik i Hannover. Hennes favorit-tonsättare som pianist är Mozart, Liszt, Sjostakovitj och Mussorgsky. Efter en konsert med New Yorkfilharmonikerna skrev New York Times: Lera Auerbach är förbluffande! Hennes mångsidighet är nästan otrolig. Hon är en passionerad pianist med massor av temperament, en naturlig tonsättare och artist, snabb att absorbera och tillgodogöra sig allt omkring sig. Washington Post beskrev Lera Auerbach som "ett pianistiskt kraftverk och hennes framförande som en fin balans mellan sensitivitet och virtuositet. Leras Auerbachs verklista innefattar ca 150 kompositioner. Hon har tonsatt två operor: Gogol om den ryska författaren Nikolaj Gogol, som hon även skrev librettot till. Det var första gången en stor opera, tonsatt av en kvinna, sattes upp i Wien. Hon har även komponerat 20 orkesterverk, bl a tre symfonier, konserter, solostycken, 3 rekviem, körmusik, sånger, 8 stråkkvartetter, 24 preludier för violin och piano, 24 preludier för cello och piano, 24 preludier för altfiol och piano, ja, hur mycket kammarmusik som helst. Hennes senaste balettmusik Tatiana är baserad på Alexander Pushkins versroman Eugen Onegin.  Lera Auerbach har även publicerat fem egna volymer med poesi och prosa och skrivit dramatik. 1996 utnämndes hon till Årets Poet av Det internaionella Pushkin-sällskapet. - Pushkin är Rysslands Shakespeare och litteraturens Mozart. Han har en lätt, flytande och mästerlig hand. Med sitt virtuosa och samtidigt lekfullt, enkla språk bär Puskjins fram själens mest intima skrymslen. Det är genialt och var utan motstycke i Ryssland innan honom, förklarar Lera Auerbach! Lera Auerbachs Symfoni nr 3 har också titeln The Infant Minstrel and His Peculiar Menagerie Barnsångaren och hans särskilda djurpark. Det är en nästan 38 minuter lång symfonisk fantasi för violin, kör och orkester. Beställd inför Proms och uruppfördes i Royal Albert Hall, London. Det var Lera Auerbachs egen skulptur Månryttaren som inspirerade henne till musiken och texten till The Infant Minstrel and His Peculiar Menagerie, Symfoni nr 3. Det brukar annars vara tvärtom. En av Lera Auerbachs senaste bronsskulpturer har titeln Hör mig. Den liknar en helt avmagrad hund som skriker ut sitt lidande. - Med skulpturen sätter jag fokus på det faktum att det fortfarande läcker radioaktivitet från kärnkraftsverket Majak som kontaminerar bl a den tremiljonersstad där jag föddes, Chelyabinsk i Uralbergen, på gränsen till Sibirien. - Många tror att Chernobyl är den radioaktivt mest förorenade staden på jorden, men efter många kärnkraftsolyckor i området är det Chelyabinsk som är mest kontaminerad. Detta tystas fortfarande ner, berättar Lera Auerbach. Denna enormt produktiva och kreativa kvinna har även tonsatt Dialoger om Stabat Mater, en slags kommentar till Pergolesis vackra svit från 1736. Violinisten Gidon Kremer spelar den tillsammans med sin ensemble Kremerata Baltica. 2012 var Lera Auerbach Composer in Residence hos den legendariska orkestern Dresden Staatskapelle, grundad 1548, där bl a Hans-Werner Henze, Wolfgang Riem, Sofia Gubajdolina och Arvo Pärt innehaft samma position. Bland kända chefdirigenter vid orkestern finns bl a Carl-Maria von Weber, Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss och Herbert Blomstedt. Det centrala verk som Dresden Staatskapelle beställde av Lera Auerbach är ett Rekviem och har titeln Ode to Peace Ode till Fred. Lera Auerbach är i Köpenhamn som Composer in Residence för Rudersdals sommarkonserter. Konstnärlig ledare där är violinisten Christine Pryn, som också medverkar i programmet. Men det är inte första gången Lera Auerbach är i Köpenhamn. 2005, då det nya operahuset på Holmen invigdes och Danmark firade 200-årsminnet av H C Andersens födelse, uruppfördes hennes helsftonsbaletten Den lilla sjöjungfrun av den legendariske koreografen John Neumeier från Balettzentrum Hamburg. Baletten har senare spelats i 300 föreställningar över hela världen. Själv delar hon in livet i före och efter Den lilla sjöjungfrun, det största och svåraste verk hon komponerat. - Författaren H C Andersen var en outsider i det danska och Den lilla sjöjungfrun trivdes inte med tillvaron under vattnet utan ville bli mänsklig. På ett personligt plan identifierar jag mig med dessa båda, förklarar Lera Auerbach. - Varje gång jag försöker anpassa mig till en viss identitet: ryss eller amerikan, konsertpianist eller tonsättare, så blir jag deprimerad. Och mitt skapande blir inte alls bättre av det, säger Lera Auerbach.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch speaks to German-born Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger ahead of his upcoming performance at London's Wigmore Hall. Known for the brilliance of his Beethoven playing, he talks about why the composer's music embodies the very best human ideals, why pianists need to learn to breathe and why he's removing himself completely from the internet. Benedictine monks in monasteries all over the UK and around the world structure their whole day around the singing of plainchant - five or six times a day they gather together and sing the psalms. Sara visits Downside Abbey in Somerset to experience first hand the musical life of monks. People often have a very traditional view of brass band music, yet composers from Harrison Birtwistle to Hans Werner Henze not to mention young contemporary composers have all written for bands. The composers Edward Gregson and Lucy Pankhurst reveal the cutting edge of brass band composition. And Viviana Durante - former Royal Ballet principal and mentor on BBC4's BBC Young Dancer programme - talks to Sara about the show and the prospects for young dancers today.

Writer and broadcaster Jonathan Meades's fascination with architecture began on a school trip to Marsh Court in Stockbridge, Hampshire - designed by that great architect of English Country Houses Edwin Lutyens. Subsequently, in a broadcasting career which spans 40 years, he has written and performed in more than 50 television shows on a wide range of topographical subjects: from shacks to garden cities, to buildings associated with vertigo; from beer and pigs, to the architecture of Hitler and Stalin. He was also a food critic for 15 years, winning the coveted Glenfiddich Award in 1999, and has written three novels and a memoir: "Encyclopedia of Myself". His latest television series, "Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloody-mindedness", was screened on BBC 4 in February. He now lives in the iconic Corbusier building, Cité Radieuse in Marseille - and his musical choices reflect his adopted country's love of chanson: French singer / songwriter Barbara's "Ma Plus Belle Histoire d'Amour" features, as does Jacques Brel's Mijn Vlakke Land. Film was not only Jonathan Meades's chosen career; his love of cinema also provided him with a rich musical education. Among his musical choices are Hans Werner Henze's soundtrack to the Alain Resnais film Muriel, and The Aquarium, from Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals, which Terence Malick used in his ground breaking film Days of Heaven.
