Episode 8 - LamentoJeg heter Astrid Kirschner, jeg er barokkfiolinist, og dette er en ny episode av min podkast BAROKKPODDEN! I dag snakker jeg med Norges mezzosopran-stjerne, Marianne Beate Kielland. Hun er i dag etablert som en av Europas fremste sangere, særlig innen barokkfeltet, og hun opptrer jevnlig på konsertscenene i Europa, Østen og Amerika under dirigenter som Phillippe Herreweghe, Fabio Biondi, Jordi Savall, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Christophe Rousset, Marc Minkowski, Masaaki Suzuki, Thomas Dausgaard, Jos van Immerseel, Robert King og Andrew Manze. Kielland ble i 2012 nominert til Grammy innen kategorien «Best Vocal Classical Album» for sin CD-utgivelse «Veslemøy Synsk» av Olav Anton Thommessen, og har med denne og opp mot 50 andre innspillinger, samt utstrakt konsertvirksomhet befestet seg som en bemerkelsesverdig interpret av repertoar fra barokken helt fram til vår tids musikk. Marianne Beate Kielland er også førsteamanuensis for sang ved Norges Musikkhøyskole.Midt i pandemien, våren 2020 har Marianne Beate og min barokkgruppe Oslo Circles spilt inn en CD sammen - LAMENTO (LAWO) med Mariaklager og annen vakker italiensk musikk fra 1600-tallet. I dagens podkast snakker jeg med Marianne Beate Kielland om dette Lamento-programmet, vi går gjennom de tre Lamenti på CDen, og vi snakker også om utdannelse til sanger på 1600-tallet og i dag, om ulike lamento-basser og mer.***Jeg har igjen laget en fin spilleliste for episode nr. 8 for dere med hele Lamento-programmet vårt; den ligger allerede ute på Spotify.

Episode 5 – MenuettI dagens episode av Barokkpodden! snakker jeg om barokkdansen MENUETT, og jeg har med meg en gjest som er spesialist i dette, Elizabeth Svarstad, ph.d. Hun er universitetslektor i barokkdans ved Norges Musikkhøyskole og Norges fremste ekspert i tidlig dansehistorie.Jeg prater med henne om én av de viktigste dansene i barokktiden – nemlig menuetten. Her lærer vi hvordan en menuett ble danset ved Ludvig XIV. hoff i Paris, hvordan dansetrinnene er nedskrevet, vi hører om dansemestere, dansetimer, hoffball og selskapslivet på 1700. Og vi er tilbake i tiden da ekte mannfolk skulle kunne fekte, ri – og danse menuett.En menuett er et perfekt lite univers, og som komposisjon følger den strenge regler: den er symmetrisk, har et visst antall takter, nesten som et sudoku, samtidig et vakkert og sofistikert lite stykke musikk, og blir danset etter alle kunstens regler. Å danse menuett var også en viktig del av pensumet til kadettene i krigsskolen: her lærte man smidighet, balanse og eleganse, og man lærte å opptre med autoritet.Elizabeth Svarstad har også forsket på menuetten i Norge. I den forbindelse har hun saumfart norske biblioteker, og på Gunnerusbiblioteket i Trondheim fant hun et unikt dokument som viste seg å være deler av en dansenotasjon av selveste Raoul-Auger Feuillet - en av de store dansemestrene ved Ludvig 14. hoff i Paris! Hun forteller om sin spennende oppdagelsesreise da hun undersøkte hvordan dokumentet har kommet til Norge.Jeg har igjen laget for dere en egen spilleliste til dagens episode – Menuett, den ligger allerede på Spotify og er smekkfull av vakre menuetter: franske, tyske, italienske, engelske, wienerklassiske og andre.Søk den opp og kos deg med musikken!Dette er linken til spillelisten for MENUETT:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1TF06n9MqTY7fumXIRMq3H?si=4d10c467fc5146cc&pt=8835f2b650cccacdb295a234a2d795da(Denne linken virker kun innenfor Spotify!

I talk about different aspects of baroque music, composers, instruments, historical context and much more, and it is my sincere wish to give my interested listeners and my concert audience a better and deeper understanding of baroque music. Several record companies have given me their permisson to use their recordings of baroque music for this project. Thank you very much! Some of the record companies have limited their permission to max 30 seconds of each music clips, others have allowed me to use music clips in full length. I'm a musician myself, and I certainly do not want to hurt any other musician's rights or copy right. I hope I can increase the love to and knowledge about baroque music with this project, but if you are a musician, and prefer not to be a part of this podcast, please let me know, then I will make the changes accordingly.Best wishes,Astrid Kirschner, asursula@online.no

Als Jos tien jaar oud is, wordt er huize Van Immerseel een tweedehands buffetpiano geleverd van het merk KAPS, een groot, zwaar bruin meubel. De ouders betalen er 12.000 Belgische frank voor. Het is 1955 en de carrière van de kleine Jos Van is begonnen. Er kwam sindsdien geen eind aan. Anima eterna als het ware. En op woensdag 14 maart 2018 kreeg hij ook nog eens de Klara Carrièreprijs tijdens de uitreiking van De Klara's.

Happy new year listeners. Welcome to indie classical spotlight. Today’s episode we will be playing several sonata pieces from our classical collection. After 35 years of success the world over, including many award-winning recordings and newly commissioned works, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio continues to dazzle audiences and critics alike with their performances.The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, Joseph Kalichstein, Jaime Laredo, Sharon Robinson "Trio in B-flat Major, D. 898: I. Andante moderato" (mp3) from "Franz Schubert: The Piano Trios and Arpeggione Sonata" (Bridge Records, Inc.) More On This Album An Oregon native, Marcia Hadjimarkos received degrees in piano performance and French literature from the University of Iowa. She has been devoted to the fortepiano and clavichord since the 1980s, and studied with Jos van Immerseel at the Paris Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in 1993-94.Marcia Hadjimarkos "16 Deutsche Tänze, D 783" (mp3) from "Franz Schubert: Sonata & Dances for Fortepiano" (Arabesque Recordings) Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album From the beginning of the first movement in Sonata No. 1, you can hear a tender, restrained longing behind the notes, which in turn helps illuminate the passionate outbursts that erupt in the First and especially the Third Sonatas. Zina Schiff has the emotional equipment to convey her powerful reading of these works.

The Sixteen, Harry Christophers from "Monteverdi: Selva morale e spirituale, Vol. 1" (Coro) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This Album Without doubt, Monteverdi was the greatest of the early baroque European composers. He revolutionized the music of the theater and the church by his dramatic and imaginative use of voices and instruments and by his daring harmonies and rhythms. Next to his Vespers of 1610, the Selva morale e spiritual of 1641 is his most significant and virtuosic collection of sacred music. Over the next few years we intend to record the complete publication with a variety of forces. His much performed Beatus vir is a mere appetizer for this delightful yet thrilling music.BYU Men's Chorus "Goin' Home" (mp3) from "The Pilgrim's Journey Home" (Tantara Records) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This AlbumLift your spirits with a brand-new collection of inspirational folk hymns and songs. Although life may be difficult, the youthful and energetic voices of the BYU Combined Choirs and Orchestra will inspire and strengthen you on your own journey home.Florilegium & Arakaendar Bolivia Choir, Ashley Solomon "Fuera, Fuera! Haganles Lugar!" (mp3) from "Bolivian Baroque Vol. 3" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Welcome to our third volume of Bolivian Baroque music which was, unusually, recorded in three different venues, in two different countries almost 6250 miles apart. This time the majority of the CD was recorded in Holland (in both the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam and the Doopsgezinde Kerk in Deventer) during Arakaendar Bolivia Choirís first tour of Europe with Florilegium in 2008. In addition we have included a number of solo organ pieces from the Bolivian archives which James Johnstone recorded on the restored anonymous 18th century Blockwerk organ in the Mission Church of Santa Ana de Velasco. This is the first European recording on this remarkable instrument, its raw sound recorded here for posterity. The music on this volume differs considerably from the other two Channel Classics recordings (CCS 22105 & CCS 24806) as it mainly showcases Arakaendar Bolivia, the choir I set up in 2005. They continue to thrive and have shown tremendous commitment and determination in preparing this challenging and varied programme. We were delighted to be nominated by BBC Music Magazine for the best choir recording of 2008 for our last CD recording, as well as receiving our 5th Editorís Choice from Gramophone magazine. I hope this new volume is received as warmly.The Choir of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Duncan Ferguson "Leroy Kyrie" (mp3) from "John Taverner: Sacred Choral Music" (Delphian Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album John Taverner brought the English florid style to its culmination and final flowering; his music is quite unlike anything written by his continental contemporaries and, viewed retrospectively, represents not only the culmination of one period but also the beginning of something new. In his debut recording with the critically acclaimed Edinburgh choir, Duncan Ferguson presents this music with forces akin to those of the sixteenth century ñ a small group of children and a larger number of men. The singers respond with their characteristic freshness, and an emotional authenticity born of the daily round of liturgical performance.Johann Sabastian Bach: MotetsVocalconsort Berlin, Marcus Creed from "Johann Sebastian Bach: Motets" (Harmonia Mundi) More On This Album Album will be availble online around March 22, 2011 The Vocalconsort Berlin was founded in 2003 and made its debut the same year in Monteverdi's LíOrfeo under the direction of RenÈ Jacobs at the Innsbruck Festival.
