“Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony” is a podcast produced by Harmony: A New Musical and Broadway News. Songs In This Episode: “Stars In The Night” from Harmony: A New Musical "Hungarian Rhapsody #20" from Harmony: A New Musical "Home" from Harmony: A New Musical Guests In This Episode (in order of appearance): Bruce Sussman, Harmony co-writer Jan Grübler, Historian Sean Bell, "Bobby" in Harmony Learn More About The Comedian Harmonists: ⁠⁠⁠www.thecomedianharmonists.com⁠⁠⁠ Learn More About Harmony A New Musical: ⁠⁠⁠www.harmonyanewmusical.com⁠⁠⁠ In 1927, a young man in Germany placed an ad in the local paper: “Attention. Rare opportunity. Tenor, Bass (professional singer not over 25), musically talented, nice-sounding voices, for unique ensemble. Kindly give days and times when available [for rehearsals, etc.]” Out of that two-line ad, came one of the most celebrated music acts of the 20th century: the Comedian Harmonists. The internationally renowned vocal group made over 200 recordings, performed in over 150 concerts around the world and appeared in numerous films. They played the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Coliseum and Radio City Music Hall. And yet, for most, the name “Comedian Harmonists” doesn't ring a bell. How could that be? Well, the Comedian Harmonists rose to fame in the late 1920s and early 1930s in Germany — and half of its members were Jewish. Because of this, the Nazi regime designated the work of the Comedian Harmonists “degenerate art” and much of it was destroyed. Lost to history. But…not all of it. The little that there was inspired writer Bruce Sussman to dig into the story of the Comedian Harmonists and, with his artistic partner Barry Manilow, create a musical uncovering their music, artistry and stories for the world to know and remember. “Harmony” officially opened on Broadway November 13, 2023 at the Ethel Barrymore Theater . And yet, there is only so much history one can fit into a Broadway musical. As Bruce said… “I just needed to simplify, pair it down.” “There were so many things that I could have done, but I had to make choices. As Sondheim famously wrote, the choice may be wrong, but the choosing is right.” Harmony closed on February 4, 2024 but the lost history it resurrected is worth a closer look. In this podcast, “Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony”, we're digging deeper into the true story of the Comedian Harmonists. I'm your host, Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News. Over the course of this series, we'll dive into the full history of the Comedian Harmonists — it's more complicated than you think. We'll learn the details about each of the six famous singers — where they grew up, their musical specialty, their personal lives and what happened after their time with the group. Plus, you'll hear from creatives and cast members about using this history to create “Harmony” onstage. Join us. There's a lot to uncover.

What's good, ParaPower Mappers? It's another installment of “The Secret History of MasSUSchusetts” & the return to our “Historical Materia Ultima” miniseries, as we draw the story of John Winthrop the Younger's Rosicrucian alchemical plantation project to a close.  Many thanks to @MKstorie (Twitter) for the very chill, glyph-y episode artwork!

Songs: | Franz Liszt - "Hungarian Rhapsody #2" |  | X - "Nausea" |  | The Cowboy Junkies - "Sir Francis Bacon at the Net" |  This episode includes:  A comprehensive list of the various alchemists & occultists who were part of the collegium that orbited Winthrop Jr.; more colonial prospecting for precious minerals (this time the Brewsters & Endecotts); alchemical economic development schemes, like Winthrop's saltpeter manufacturing plant; the alchemist Johann Glauber's sodium nitrate propagandizing & claim that it is the “universal menstruum”; copies of Agrippa's Occult Philosophy making the rounds in NE; the fact that French's translation was dedicated to Robert Child; the Paracelsian prophecy of the alchemical messiah Elias Arista; Winthrop's involvement in the founding of Yale; Brewster's alchemical secrets; Winthrop the Younger's alchemedical cures, including Rubila, which his descendants marketed the shit out of; an Oliver Wendell Holmes sighting; the miserableness of frontier medical practices, which primarily involved purging (puke & shit); humoral theory and its correspondences w/ the Aristotelian elements; the hype for pansophia highlighting the Enlightenment view of the world as interlocking systems; pansophia & alchemy's impact on the emergence of capitalism; alchemical secrecy = profit motive; other metallurgical cures; a personal favorite—the “weapon salve”, Sir Kenelm Digby's sympathetic magickal remedy which was supposed to heal wounds over distance thru the application of salves to the weapon that caused the wound (plus the obligatory masturbation jokes LOL); the connection between healing ability, status, & power… …a lot of lists in this one, one being a rundown of known alchemists in colonial New England—Mathers, Bulkeley, Stoughton, Danforth, Ezra Stiles, Hoar, Stiles, Child, Winthrops, etc.—powerful men who were ministers, college presidents, doctors, governors, & magistrates (a couple even sitting on the Court of Oyer & Terminer during the Salem trials); the story of alchemist Samuel Danforth Sr.'s “execution sermon” (supposedly the first ever), which was delivered at the execution of the teenager Benjamin Goad who had been found guilty of bestiality & which Danforth later published as a tract (slimey)... …Winthrop the Younger's status as first colonial member of the Royal Society; the ascent of Charles II; Winthrop's trip to London around the time of his coronation; the coincident charters for the Royal Society, Board of Trade, Council for Plantations, & Society for the Propagation of the Gospel; the Royal Society's empire-building & intelligence-gathering purpose; Winthrop's relationship w/ Benjamin Worsley (former surveyor general of Ireland & alchemist), Lord Brereton, Robert Boyle, Sir Robert Moray, Elias Ashmole, the Hartlib Circle, etc., further explicating the closeness of Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, & the R.S.; the intersection of espionage, magic, & science in the Society; Boyle's emphasis on the dual exploitation of information for divine knowledge & profit; a new charter for Connecticut; the Royal Society's investment in the Royal African Company (John Locke, F.R.S. a managing member) & the East India Co., showing the Society's role in the triangular trade; the Royal Society's conceptual origins in the Fama Fraternitatis & Francis Bacon's New Atlantis (specifically the symbol of Solomon's House); a note about Society members' interest in technology (evoking John Dee); & lastly, a wonderment about science-fiction-as-magickal-rewriting-of-reality & its connection to R.S.

Explore orchestral works by Franz Liszt, including his symphonic poem "Les Preludes" and the Hungarian Rhapsody #4

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2, S. Franz Liszt wrote his Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2, catalogued as S. 244/2, in 1847, and it quickly became the most famous of his rhapsodies. Besides its clear nationalistic influences, it was a piece that offered pianists the chance to reveal their skills while providing the listener with an immediate musical appeal. Its inmediate succes led to the creation of orchestral and duet piano versions. By the late 19th century, the technical challenges of the piano solo version led to its unofficial acceptance as a standard by which every notable pianist could demonstrate his level. It had become an expected staple of virtually every performance of the greatest pianists. Most unusual is the composer's explicit invitation for the performer to improvise an original cadenza, an invitation most performers chose to decline. Marc-Andre Hamelin, Rachmaninoff and Horowitz have written notable cadenzas. This composition has enjoyed widespread use in animated cartoons, and its themes have served as the basis of several popular songs.

On today's podcast Max Boot joins host Charlie Sykes to discuss coups past and future; vaccine passports; the politics of nihilism; Tucker's Hungarian Rhapsody; and the fascist-curious right. Special Guest: Max Boot.

Olga “Janina,” a protofeminist and Polish pianist, was known for stalking Hungarian composer Franz Liszt.  Franz’s name may or may not ring a bell, but he was recognized as a musical “rockstar” during the Romantic era. He composed a number of popular classical pieces that are still heard of today (“Hungarian Rhapsody”).  Sure, fans may have screamed and thrown their undergarments at the composer during his performances back in the day. But from writing “fictional” stories about Liszt, to threatening homocide and suicide, Olga took what is called “Lisztomania” to a whole new level.

Intro to this very funny routine from Victor Borge, gives historical background on his life. Often considered one of the greatest comedians of all time... he always lived up to his reputation of providing visual and oral humor and yet demonstrating incredible talent and knowledge of classical music and of course playing classical piano.

This episode of EU Scream aired a couple of weeks ago amid expectations Europe’s conservatives would expel Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary and his Fidesz party for violating the rule of law and insulting EU leaders.Last week the European People’s Party, as the conservatives are known, agreed a mere suspension. Rather than showing contrition, Orbán immediately resumed his belligerent stance against migrants and the European Commission. Listen to this update to hear Orbán indulging in post-truth politicking so fanciful that journalists burst out laughing. It’s against this background that we are revisiting stories and analysis from three people smeared by Orban and Fidesz: the human rights activist Márta Pardavi; the European Parliamentarian Judith Sargentini; and the political scientist Péter Krekó.The smears they describe are part of an atmosphere of political and psychological warfare in Hungary and could serve as a model for other strong men and autocrats in Europe. Pardavi is co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights group based in Budapest and among the most prominent targets of Orbán’s ire. Last year Pardavi was honoured for her courage and work by Human Rights First in New York. Krekó is a social psychologist and political scientist and executive director of Political Capital, a research institute and consultancy in Budapest. He’s the author of a book on the Hungarian far right and another on fake news and conspiracy theories. Krekó slams the European Commission for going too easy on Budapest for too long. Sargentini is a member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands who wrote a damning report last year on the erosion of democracy in Hungary. The report made Sargentini one of the prime foreign targets for Budapest’s smear campaigns. She says she can no longer visit Hungary. “Beethoven Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125” by Papalin is licensed under CC by 3.0.

The regime run by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary uses smear campaigns to feed an atmosphere of political and psychological warfare. The smears are felt far beyond Hungary and could serve as a model for other strong men and autocrats in Europe.

Works for strings by Brahms performed by A Far Cry on December 9, 2012 and Musicians from Marlboro on May 10, 2015.Johannes Brahms: Hungarian RhapsodyBrahms: String Quartet in C Minor, Op. 51, No. 1Imagine if, before you published your first string quartet, you wrote and discarded twenty others? As the All Music Guide notes, in his entire compositional life, Brahms produced just three string quartets to Haydn’s 68, Mozart’s 23, and Beethoven’s 16. This is all the more striking if one considers Brahms’ relatively long lifespan of 63 years compared to, say, Mozart, who died at age 35.We’ll hear Brahms’s first published quartet on our podcast today, the String Quartet No. 1 in C minor, in a performance by Musicians from Marlboro. It’s not hard to hear what made this piece so challenging to write. Brahms creates a quartet that is very tightly structured, with themes that recur throughout the length of the work, not just within the individual movements, and a carefully constructed harmonic architecture.Before we dive into the quartet, though, we begin with a piece that shows Brahms’s lighter side: an orchestral version of his Hungarian Rhapsody, arranged for the chamber orchestra A Far Cry by their cellist Alastair Eng.

Ever get that feeling that you can’t live without something you’ve lost and then rediscovered? Open your heart to the composer Emil von Sauer, known for his poetic imagination. Sauer had the gumption to play Liszt’s own Hungarian Rhapsody for his audition to study with the famous pianist. To everybody’s surprise, Liszt kissed him and welcomed him with open arms afterward! Listen to this once-lost, indescribably beautiful piece from Sauer, which won pianist Stephen Hough a performance Grammy. YouTube recommendation: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=w07SXzkUp10

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of composer Franz Liszt.  Works include: Hungarian Rhapsody #2, Liebestraum #3, Totentanze and the Piano Concerto #1.  Performers include: Eileen Joyce, Artur Rubenstein, Louis Ketner, Jesus Sanroma and Eugene Ormandy.

This is the piece of music made famous by Bugs Bunny! One of the all-time favorite classical piano works - Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. I only recorded excerpts from this piece for two reasons. First, because I used this as an audition piece for a talent competition for which the perfomance had to be under three minutes. Second, because I haven't learned to play the rest well enough to record it! I hope you enjoy my recording of excerpts from Liszt's most famous Hungarian Rhapsody!

Military brass bands playing music other than marches. Music includes: Blue Danube, Hungarian Rhapsody #2, Ramshackle Rag and Nearer My God to Thee. Bands include: Sousa's Band, The Arthur Pryor Band and the New York Military Band.

I apologize for my short absence. My wife and I went wildlife photo hunting this weekend and it was a success. Next weekend is my birthday weekend and my wife is taking me to Colorado Springs. I will reduce my posting to the week only, saving my weekends for photograpic pursuits. I am overwhelmed by the massive amount of new subscribers. Just last week alone, new subscribers have tripled over the entire time since I started this podcast. My downloads feeds and increased by as much as 4 times. I will work diligently to continue to bring you unique classical pieces to continue attracting new subscribers - and all without advertisements. Some of you have asked if you could donate money to assist me in maintaining my podcast, in essence, becoming paid subscribers on a voluntary basis. Well, the skinny is.. I am not spending an excessive amount of money on this. I appreciate your desire to help and certainly can understand how people would want to ensure that this great music continues, I would run into tax questions I am not willing to endure by accepting money and sense my expenses are relatively low, I am not out enough money to resort to this so I would encourage you to donate the money to the American Red Cross, NPR's Classical Connections, The United Way or your local library with the clause that they purchase classical music CD's for sharing with your community.

The music for this episode is the Hungarian Rhapsody by David Popper. It contains a number of Hungarian melodies and songs. The video is a bit out of sync with the audio towards the end. I will fix this and upload a corrected version. For feedback please e-mail cellojourney@gmail.com
