Interpreten: Philipp Schupelius, Yukino Kaihara, Metamorphosen Berlin, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt Label: Genuin EAN: 4260036258967 Mit unserer CD der Woche präsentieren wir Ihnen diesmal einen neuen, sehr hell leuchtenden Stern am jungen Cellohimmel. Philipp Schupelius, Gewinner des Deutschen Musikwettbewerbes 2023, ist nun erstmals auf CD zu erleben, nämlich mit mit Vivaldi und Rachmaninow. Eine ungewöhnliche Kombination. Michael Gmasz weiß mehr über den jungen ausgezeichneten Künstler und die Programmzusammenstellung. Philipp Schupelius, vorwiegend ausgebildet von Wolfgang Emanuel Schmist, ist ein junger Künstler, der in den vergangenen Jahren zum wahren Preisesammler geworden ist. Discovery Award der ICMA, Fanny-Mendelssohn Förderpreis, Boris Pergamenschikow Grant und nicht zuletzt im August 2023 auch Deutscher Musikwettbewerb. Die vorliegende CD ist Teil dieses ersten Preises und Philipp Schupelius hat sie mit für ihn besonderer Musik gefüllt. Konzerte von Antonio Vivaldi und Kammermusikwerke von Sergej Rachmaninow hat er dafür eingespielt, beides Menschen, die „lebenszugewandt und voller Energie waren“, wie der junge Musiker findet. Energie ist ein gutes Stichwort für das Cellospiel von Philipp Schupelius, denn energisch geht es mit Vivaldis h-Moll Konzert RV 424 gleich richtig zur Sache. Auf modernem Cello, frei nach seiner eigenen Interpretation, also weniger mit Blick auf historische Musizierpraxis. Hat in unserer Zeit absolut seine Berechtigung, wie ich finde. Mit leichtem Bogen und schnellen Fingern spielt sich der Solist über halsbrecherische Sechzehntel Kaskaden. Da hat er sich den langsamen Satz redlich zum Ausruhen verdient, wobei dieser zwar ruhiger aber mit der gleichen Energie versehen ist. Ebenso kräftig und flott gelingt das a-Moll Konzert RV 418, zu dem Schupelius auch gleich einen eigenen Kadenzsatz beisteuert, in dem er Vivaldi und Rachmaninow musikalisch aufeinandertreffen lässt. Apropos Rachmaninow. Eine ganz andere Energie und auch Klangfarbe bringt Philipp Schupelius bei den Kammermusikwerken des romantischen Komponisten ein. Hier liegt der Bogen flach und satt auf den Saiten, wie ein Maler trägt er die Musik teils pastos auf. Trotzdem wirkt auch hier nichts schwer und träge. Das Kammerorchester Metamorphosen Berlin sowie die Pianistin Yukino Kaihara sind verlässliche Stützen an seiner Seite. Hier lernen wir einen Musiker kennen, der uns sicher noch viel Freude bereiten wird! (mg)

In this podcast, recorded on 22nd November, the team discussed the implications for geopolitics and markets following the election victory of Donal Trump's Republican party in early November. Domestically, how might the policies he is believed to want to pursue affect the US economy and the markets? Does his agenda of import tariffs (especially upon China) signal that inflation will persist and perhaps worsen. And what does this mean for rates? Will long-term interest rates remain at higher levels, or can we expect them to fall once the post-election euphoria dissipates? In equity markets we've heard a lot about the “Trump trade”. What is it? Is this a prelude of what we can expect in the future? Or will the current market optimism eventually fade away once announced policies are rolled out? Outside of the US, the team also cover the upcoming election in Germany and their view on how the election might play out and the potential repercussions for economies and markets, in Germany, across the EU and beyond.

As I predicted, the ICMA finally capitulated and settled the anti-defamation lawsuit brought forth by Michigan city manager James Freed. As part of the agreement where financial details were not releaed, the ICMA agreed to retract the censure by removing it from their website.  The settlement was announced via a joint statement on ICMA letterhead. However, I have received overwhelmingly negative responses from the city managers in my network regarding the language of that statement.  In this episode, I dissect the statement and compare it to the original press release issued by the ICMA when it announced the public censure of James Freed.  And now that this matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties -- we ponder the logical question that remains:  Now what? SHOW NOTES: James Freed posted the release on his personal LinkedIn page.

Things are heating up in the battle between Port Huron City Manager James Freed and the ICMA over the last two weeks. The two-year saga began in June 2022 when the ICMA publicly censured Freed and stripped him of his credential. Freed countered with a lawsuit alleging the ICMA engaged in a conspiracy to defame him. On September 5, 2024, Freed sent out an email along with a 21-page court filing. See link in the show notes. On Friday the 6th, the ICMA issued its first public statement on the lawsuit mentioning James Freed by name and referencing yours truly indirectly. On Monday the 9th, Freed and the ICMA once again made public statements. Freed addressed his employees at an annual luncheon and spoke about the lawsuit and upcoming trial. His remarks were about 20 minutes long and have been included in this podcast. Additionally, the ICMA's director of advocacy pubished an article on its website. Jason Grant argued that public censures were not punitive and defended the organization. However, the final paragraph signaled to me thta the organization is preparing to settle with Freed while trying to save face.  SHOW NOTES: James Freed Court Filing and Public Statements: Freed Email Statement and Court Filing Video of James Freed addressing ICMA issue ICMA Public Statements & Court Filing LinkedIn Post In Defense of the ICMA Code of Ethics by Jason Grant, Director of Advocacy Court Filing Additional Information about James Freed vs ICMA Main Reference Page SUBMIT JOB POSTING: Do you have an executive or senior level vacancy in your organization?
