True story: I bumped into Reinhold Messner at the base of Mount Sabyinyo in Rwanda on December 31, 2016.Because I had read several of his books, I instantly recognized him with his signature disheveled hair and gray beard.Still, I politely asked, "Excuse me. Are you Reinhold Messner?"He looked at me, grumbled an unclear non-answer, and turned away to join his small group.I shuffled over to Rejoice Tapon and said, "I'm 95% sure that that man over there is Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer ever!"She'd never heard of him, but she said, "I'll get a selfie with him!"Rejoice boldly asked him for a selfie. Perhaps Messner was impressed with her beauty, or didn't want to appear racist by turning down what he figured was a local Rwandan (Rejoice is from Cameroon). Regardless, he agreed. And she triumphantly showed it off to me to rub it in. I mention this story because I laughed when I read Messner's confession on Kindle Location 3057 of "Against the Wind." He wrote: "Approachability and sociability have never been my strong points."This sums up what I hope is NOT his final book. His book is full of criticisms of Messner. Most criticisms originate from journalists, climbers, or partners. However, sometimes he criticizes himself (like his poor social skills).For Messner, all these criticisms are a constant "headwind" that he has faced throughout this remarkable long life (he's over 80).This book is NOT what I expected. I've read five of his books and loved them all, especially "Crystal Horizon," which is about his solo climb up Everest's north face in 1980 without oxygen.I expected profound reflections and wisdom. The book's subtitle even promises "reflections." However, the reflections are shallow.The subtitle should be, "Defending Myself Against an Army of Critics." He spends about 25% of the book discussing the tragic loss of his brother, Gunther, on Nanga Parbat. Throughout the book, he has long excerpts of articles that heavily criticize Messner, especially about how he "abandoned" his brother after summitting. I admire Messner for sharing what his critics say and then offering his rebuttal. He could have made a series of strawman arguments that he could easily tear down.Instead, he gives his critics a strong platform, and they crucify him.I never doubted his story, which I read in one of his previous books.He said that after he and Gunther summited, they traversed the mountain by descending the Rupal Face instead of returning the way they ascended.Reinhold was significantly ahead of Gunther, who died in an avalanche.Messner spends MANY pages refuting idiotic claims that others have made. For example, they claim Messner went down one way while he told his brother to go down a different way, alone. They claim that he planned all along to traverse the mountain, which he denies.What's sad is that you don't need to invent lies to make Messner look bad. Just use his words against him.I'll do so by just taking three points from his latest book.1. Messner repeatedly said that Gunther was extremely weak at the summit and suffering from altitude issues.2. His book says, "Reinhold reported that he was about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."3. However, later in the book, Messner writes, "During the descent, I was convinced that he was right behind me."I'm a mountaineer who has been in many difficult situations and sometimes been with a weak or injured partner. I would certainly get ahead of my weak partner to scout the terrain, to find the easiest path down.However, I would ALWAYS remain within sight or earshot, ESPECIALLY if my partner is feeble.If they're suffering from high altitude issues, they could collapse at any moment.This is common sense & prudence.How can Messner claim, "I was convinced that he was right behind me," and admit that he was "about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."That's a ridiculous contradiction.It's normal that in the darkness, you might get ahead of your partner and lose visual and auditory contact for several minutes.The moment you realize that you're disconnected, you should stop and wait for your partner to catch up.If he doesn't appear after 15 minutes, it's time to backtrack. To get 90 minutes ahead of your weakened partner is negligent. That fact is all I need to know that Messner was wrong, negligent, and irresponsible.He screwed up.That's all he needs to say. However, instead of addressing this obvious failure, Messner spends pages proving that his critics are wrong about many of their false claims.Enough about their claims! Shut up, Messner! Address the elephant in the room, which you readily admit!And yet, he doesn't clearly and unambiguously say that he was a horrible brother and climbing partner during that descent. The closest he comes to admitting his mistake is when he writes:"Felix Kuen was also one and a half hours ahead of his climbing partner when he reached the summit. Sigi Löw lagged behind during the descent from the summit in 1962 and fell. The very nature of the glacier also caused us to be so far apart."B******t. No glacier forces two climbers to be 90 minutes apart!On the contrary! Most glaciers force climbers to rope up together in case one falls into a crevasse. Instead, "Messner explains that it's standard practice among mountaineers for the partner who is feeling fitter to go first to find the best way down through crevasses."Yes, but not 90 minutes ahead!!!I hoped that 80-year-old Messner would not spend 25% of the book disproving the lies or stupid hypotheses of his critics.Instead, he should have simply said, "I regret not staying close to Gunther throughout the descent. Yes, that might mean that we would both get caught in a deadly avalanche, but given his weakened state, I should never have gotten 90 minutes ahead of him. Ten minutes max. I screwed up."Another bewildering part of the book:"I have been ostracized, slandered, and harmed by people I have shared personal bonds with. The worst thing for me was when I was kicked out of my family home at the age of seventy-five, by my wife. I was given no warning or reason. Despite being often apart from my wife and children while on my many expeditions, I am a family man.We also traveled to places together and I was often at home for months at a time."WTF? Really? "No warning or reason"? C'mon, Messner. If you have no clue why your 2nd wife kicked you out, you're not only the Greatest Mountaineer of All Time (GOAT), but you're also the Most Oblivious Man of All Time. OTHER TIDBITSHe writes, "I've had heart surgery twice." I didn't know, but that suggests he's probably in his final decade.He writes, "I failed three times on an eight-thousander."I wish he reflected on those failures. As Nietzsche puts it: “There are two types of tragedy in our lives. Not reaching our goals—and even worse, reaching our goals.”CONCLUSIONThis book is filled with flaws and is disappointing. Messner wastes all his reflections on his critics. How shallow.You'd think a god like Messner would rise above such petty people and their words. You'd think one of the most mentally tough people in history would not have such thin skin and a fragile ego that any stupid critic can make mighty Messner squirm and get defensive.Who cares?! You're MESSNER! The GOAT!Messner should make a poster in his house that quotes Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, who said, "No one ever erected a statue of a critic." Messner will have statues and accolades forever. His critics will be forgotten.It's so sad to see that they get underneath his thin skin.I was hoping he was tougher and could brush them off like he brushes off the lack of oxygen.So why do I give it 4 stars instead of 1 star?Because, like it or not, the book is a window into Messner's soul.And I find that revealing and interesting, even if it's a bit disappointing.

Laura Jackson, Reno Phil music director and conductor, speaks with Chris Morrison about the second concerts of the Reno Phil's 2025-26 Classix season, "John Williams and Sibelius," on November 8 and 9, 2025. The concerts include Transcend by Zhou Tian, Escapades by John Williams (with soloists Timothy McAllister, alto saxophone, and Tennison Watts, vibraphone), and two pieces by Jean Sibelius, Finlandia and the Symphony No. 2.

Second time is a charm en dat geldt zeker voor het Vioolconcerto van Sibelius. Na een eerste versie af te haspelen om geld in het laatje te krijgen, zette de Finse componist zich opnieuw aan de partituur en die keer werd het een groot succes. Wat heeft deze muziek met een polonaise voor ijsberen te maken? En de hamvraag: zal Clara hoofdpijn krijgen van deze vioolmuziek?

La Voz Humana en la Música - Kullervo de Jean Sibelius by Radiotelevisión de Veracruz

Interpreten: Felix Klieser, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie, Jamie PhillipsLabel: Berlin ClassicsEAN: 885470032481Der Hornist Felix Klieser begibt sich auf unserer CD der Woche auf eine musikalische Reise nach Nordeuropa und macht neben Schweden auch in Norwegen und Finnland Halt. Michael Gmasz hat den Norden auch schon immer faszinierend gefunden und lässt sich daher gerne auf die Reise mitnehmen.Fröhliche und ausgesprochen gastfreundliche Menschen, abwechslungsreiche und wunderschöne Landschaften und hervorragendes, wenn auch teures, Essen und Trinken – so habe ich auf diversen Reisen den europäischen Norden von Norwegen über Schweden bis Finnland bisher kennen und schätzen gelernt. Auch die Musik aus der Region hat mich in den vergangenen Jahren fasziniert, und so trifft Felix Klieser mit seinem Album Northern Colours einen Nerv bei mir! Die nordischen Komponisten haben über die Jahrzehnte ihre eigene Tonsprache entwickelt, die identifizierbar und somit identitätsstiftend ist. Auch der Schwedische Komponist Rolf Martinsson setzt diese Klangtradition in gewisser Weise fort, wie Klieser mit dem ihm gewidmeten Hornkonzert auf seiner neuen CD beweist.Das einsätzige aber doch mehrteilige Werk bietet von der dramatischen Eröffnung bis hin zu ruhigen Klanglandschaften unterschiedlichste musikalische Facetten und verlangt dem Solisten an technischen Herausforderungen alles ab. Bravourös spielt sich Felix Klieser hier durch den Solopart des Konzertes, das zwar modern anmutet und doch immer hörbar bleibt. Neben „Soundscape – A walk in Colours“, wie das Konzert von Martinsson heißt, ist Felix Klieser bei Kurt Atterberg und seinem spätromantisch-virtuosen a-Moll Konzert fündig geworden und ergänzt das Programm noch durch Solveigs Lied von Edvard Grieg und „Der Schwan von Tuonela“ von Jean Sibelius. Eine klingende Hommage an die nordische Musiktradition, virtuos umgesetzt von Felix Klieser und der Deutschen Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken unter Jamie Phillips. (mg)

S03E16 Jean Sibelius (1865-1957): un finlandese riservato con una passione incandescente (tipeee.com) In questo video: Primi anni e formazione Ascesa e fama Padronanza sinfonica Ultimi anni ed eredità Importanti composizioni di Jean Sibelius

Você já se emocionou com uma cena de filme sem saber exatamente por quê? Muitas vezes, a resposta está na trilha sonora. E, em alguns casos, essa trilha veio direto do universo da música clássica!No episódio de hoje, exploramos como grandes obras do repertório clássico foram escolhidas para dar mais profundidade, emoção e intensidade a momentos icônicos do cinema.

This Day in Legal History: United States v. Carolene Products Co. DecidedOn April 25, 1938, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in United States v. Carolene Products Co., 304 U.S. 144, a seemingly mundane case about a federal law banning the interstate shipment of “filled milk.” But beneath its surface lay one of the most consequential footnotes in American constitutional history. The Court upheld the statute under a rational basis review, affirming Congress's authority to regulate economic activity. However, in Footnote Four of the majority opinion, Justice Harlan Fiske Stone proposed a bold and lasting idea: not all legislation should be treated equally when it comes to judicial review.Stone suggested that while economic regulations would generally be upheld if they had a rational basis, laws that appeared to conflict with specific constitutional prohibitions or aimed at "discrete and insular minorities" might require stricter scrutiny. This footnote planted the seed for what would become the modern system of tiered judicial scrutiny—rational basis, intermediate scrutiny, and strict scrutiny—used to assess the constitutionality of laws under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses.Though Footnote Four was not binding, it became one of the most cited and influential passages in constitutional law. It signaled a shift away from the Lochner-era deference to economic liberty and toward more robust judicial protection of civil rights and liberties. The idea that courts have a special role in protecting politically powerless groups fundamentally shaped later decisions in cases involving racial discrimination, free speech, and voting rights.In this way, a case about dairy regulation became a cornerstone of modern constitutional doctrine. Carolene Products illustrates how even minor legal disputes can produce major legal revolutions—one footnote at a time.In a rare display of bipartisan unity, the U.S. government is making significant legal advances against Big Tech, with Meta and Google facing tough antitrust scrutiny in simultaneous court cases. In separate proceedings in a Washington federal courthouse, the FTC is attempting to break up Meta, while the DOJ is pressing Google over illegal monopoly practices, including deals to pre-install its AI on smartphones. These efforts reflect years of legal groundwork laid across both the Trump and Biden administrations, showing that concerns over Big Tech's power and influence transcend party lines—even if the motivations differ. While Democrats emphasize market concentration and data control, Republicans have focused on censorship and political bias. Despite court momentum, legislative action remains stalled, hindered by political polarization and disagreements over broader issues like content moderation and China policy. The bipartisan front could fracture as political dynamics shift, especially with Trump signaling a more cooperative stance toward tech companies–or at least a willingness to extract rents from them.Meta, Google Hammered in Court in Sign of Rare Left-Right Unity - BloombergThe American Bar Association (ABA) laid off over 300 employees after the Trump administration cut $69 million in federal grant funding, according to a new lawsuit filed by the ABA against the Department of Justice. The organization alleges the cuts were politically motivated retaliation for its support of diversity initiatives and criticism of the administration. The terminated grants had funded legal aid programs for domestic violence victims and immigrants, as well as global rule of law initiatives. The layoffs affected about a third of the ABA's staff, including workers in its South Texas ProBar program and international legal development projects. The DOJ ended the grants shortly after barring its attorneys from participating in ABA events. The ABA is being represented by Democracy Forward in the suit, which also names Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as defendants.ABA Lays Off 300 Employees, Blaming Trump Grant Funding Cuts (1)Richard Lawson, the lawyer defending President Trump's executive orders targeting law firms, has faced repeated courtroom defeats while offering vague, evasive answers under judicial questioning. In four separate cases, courts have temporarily blocked Trump's orders, which aimed to punish firms like Perkins Coie and WilmerHale for their roles in legal actions against him by revoking security clearances and threatening government contracts. Judges have openly criticized the orders as retaliatory and politically motivated. Despite this, Lawson has often appeared alone in court, prompting speculation that even the Justice Department is reluctant to back the arguments he's tasked with presenting. His vague responses and visible discomfort have drawn scrutiny, especially given his political ties to Attorney General Pam Bondi and his role at the pro-Trump America First Policy Institute. While some law firms have settled by agreeing to large pro bono commitments, others are pushing forward in court, where permanent injunctions against the executive orders now seem likely.Trump Attorney for Big Law Attacks Says Little as Losses Rack UpIn a piece for Forbes earlier this week, I argue that the state and local tax (SALT) deduction is fundamentally flawed and difficult to defend. Though often framed as a benefit to the middle class or a protection against double taxation, the deduction overwhelmingly favors wealthy households and creates inequities in the federal tax system. It allows states to impose high taxes without facing full political accountability, effectively outsourcing part of the cost to the federal government. The 2017 cap of $10,000 was a step in the right direction, and data shows that repealing it would benefit primarily the top 20% of earners—not typical working families. Unlike other personal expenses like rent or groceries, which aren't deductible, SALT gets special treatment without clear justification. If we care about fairness, progressivity, and honest budgeting, it's time to seriously consider scrapping the deduction altogether.Reconsidering The SALT Deduction: Is It Defensible?This week's closing theme is the final section of Finlandia, Op. 26, by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, performed here in its piano version. Composed in 1899 during a time of intense political censorship and rising nationalist sentiment, Finlandia was Sibelius's defiant musical response to Russian oppression. The tone poem was originally part of a series of historical tableaux performed as a protest against censorship, with Finlandia serving as the rousing finale.While the early passages of Finlandia are turbulent and stormy—meant to evoke struggle—the final section is a striking contrast: serene, solemn, and deeply moving. This lyrical closing, often referred to as the Finlandia Hymn, became an unofficial anthem of Finnish resistance and later a national symbol of unity and perseverance. In this week's selection, we hear a solo piano arrangement that strips the music to its essence, allowing the melody's dignity and quiet strength to shine through.Sibelius once said, “Music begins where the possibilities of language end,” and in Finlandia's final moments, words do indeed fall away. What remains is a profound expression of hope and resilience—qualities that have made this music resonate far beyond Finland's borders. Though Sibelius composed in the late Romantic tradition, his voice is unmistakably his own: direct, elemental, and rooted in the landscape and soul of his homeland.As we close out the week, let Finlandia remind us that even in times of turbulence, grace and resolve can still find their voice.

Das Violinkonzert von Jean Sibelius ist von Extremen geprägt. Schwelgerisch schöne Melodien treffen auf hochvirtuose Passagen und kreieren ein lebhaftes Kopfkino von der rauen nordischen Landschaft. Es ist Sibelius' einziges Instrumentalkonzert – und bei Geigerinnen und Publikum sehr beliebt. Fast jeder Geiger, fast jede Geigerin hat das Violinkonzert von Jean Sibelius im Repertoire – denn es ist effektvoll komponiert und lässt sowohl den schönen Geigenton als auch die technische Raffinesse glänzen. Dabei hat Sibelius für das Werk bei der Uraufführung 1904 noch viel Kritik einstecken müssen – nicht zuletzt, weil der Solist dem Werk technisch nicht gewachsen war. Doch die überarbeitete Neufassung geriet erfolgreicher – und heute ist das Werk aus den Konzertsälen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Jenny Berg vergleicht gemeinsam mit der Geigerin Esther Hoppe und dem Dirigenten David Philip Hefti fünf neuere Einspielungen.

Interpreten: Thomas Albertus Irnberger, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Doron Salomon, Michael Korstick Label: Gramola EAN: 9003643993280 Der Geiger Thomas Albertus Irnberger ist ein Phänomen. In regelmäßigen Abständen landen Neuerscheinungen mit ihm bei uns im Sender, mal kammermusikalisch mal wieder groß besetzt. Was aber alle CDs verbindet, sie sind allesamt qualitativ ausgesprochen hochwertig und musikalisch absolut überzeugend. Wie auch die zuletzt erschienene CD mit Musik von Jean Sibelius, wie Michael Gmasz weiß. Der Name Thomas Albertus Irnberger ist mir bekannt, seit ich 2004 bei radio klassik Stephansdom zu arbeiten begonnen habe. Im Konzertsaal war und ist der in Salzburg beheimatete Geiger bei uns in Wien zwar kaum anzutreffen, jedoch hat er im gleichen Jahr seinen Exklusivvertrag bei Gramola unterschrieben und damit begonnen, einer der meistaufgenommenen Künstler des Hauses zu werden. Etwas über 60 CDs umfasst seine Diskographie mittlerweile und auf dem jüngsten Album spielt er sich durch das Geigenrepertoire des finnischen Komponisten Jean Sibelius. Das Violinkonzert mit dem Royal Philharmonic Orchestra unter Doron Salomon und Stücke für Violine und Klavier mit seinem langjährigen Kammermusikpartner Michael Korstick.  Jean Sibelius‘, dem damals 12-jährigen Wunderkind Ferenc Vecsey gewidmetes, Violinkonzert ist auf dieser CD der Höhepunkt. Technisch makellos spielt Thomas Albertus Irnberger einen reifen, abgeklärten Solopart, als ob es die einfachste aller Übungen wäre. Jedoch nicht beiläufig, sondern immer intensiv bei der Sache. Dabei entlockt Irnberger seinem Instrument die unterschiedlichsten Klangfarben, von nordisch unterkühlt bis hin zu feurig kraftvoll reicht die Palette. Unterschiedlichste Charaktere zeigen die kammermusikalischen Stücke für Violine und Klavier. Fröhlich tänzerisch die Stücke Op. 81, melancholisch, in Gedanken verloren jene Op. 115. Als Zugabe hat Irnberger gemeinsam mit Michael Korstick auch den Valse triste aufgenommen, jedoch hier nicht jenen von Sibelius, sondern vom schon angesprochenen Ferenc Vecsey. Eine schöne Reverenz an den „führenden Geiger seiner Zeit“. (mg)

Sibelius' letzte Sinfonie aus dem Jahr 1924 besteht aus nur einem einzigen Satz. Um den aber hat der Komponist lange gerungen. In gut 20 ergreifende Minuten packt er sein Vermächtnis als Sinfoniker. Danach verstummt der Finne zunehmend, obwohl er noch gut 30 Jahre zu leben hat. Von Christoph Vratz.

(Leavin' on a jet plane this afternoon, so posting a day or so early!) It is a wonderful thing when friends share a favorite singer. Such is the case with my friend of long-standing, Julian Long (once one reaches a certain age, one no longer uses the term “old friend”). As part of this month's series of Listeners' Favorites episodes, Julian has been kind enough to record a new intro for a Countermelody episode that I posted three years ago as a birthday tribute to the marvelous Finnish baritone Jorma Hynninen, who on April 3 will celebrate his 83rd birthday. Unlike me, Julian heard Hynninen many times in both opera and, especially, recital. This episode focuses on Hynninen's prowess as a singer of art song, beginning with some choice German Lieder recordings, but ultimately focusing on the songs of his native Finland. We hear Hynninen in performances across the span of his entire career, from 1968 through 2015. Needless to say, their great compatriot Jean Sibelius is foregrounded, but, there are a surprising number of fascinating composers in this magisterial country whose work also rewards exploration. If the music of Oskar Merikanto, Yrjö Kilpinen, Erik Bergman, Selim Palmgren, Fredrik Pacius, Väino Hannikainen, Taneli Kuusisto, or Toivo Kuula is not familiar to you, prepare to be delighted, surprised, and moved by the depth and variety of their creation. Soile Isokoski also joins Hynninen in an excerpt from the cantata Der Ochs und sein Hirte by Hynninen's multi-talented pianist Rolf Gothóni, who is heard in many of the selections. The program concludes with Hynninen's perusal of both pop standards and tango, both sung in Finnish. Don't mind Julian and me as we go off to individually nurse our mutual crush! 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.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1923, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius conducted the premiere performance of his Symphony No. 6 in Helsinki. He had begun work on it about five years earlier and at that time described his vision for the symphony as follows:“The Sixth Symphony is wild and passionate in character. Gloomy with pastoral contrasts. Probably in four movements with a finale, which will build to a gloomy, wild romp of the orchestra in which the main theme disappears.”That might have been the original idea, but the final product turned out quite different and musicologist Michael Steinberg offered a more spot-on description: “The Sibelius Sixth is transparent, pastoral, lyrical and notably even-tempered — a sanctuary fashioned out of music.”In the pecking order of popularity, the Second and Fifth of Sibelius' seven symphonies rank at the top, with the Sixth probably the least-often heard in concert. But the always-perceptive Steinberg wrote, “To this day, the Sixth remains the least known (or understood) of the seven symphonies, and yet for those who make its full acquaintance, the Sixth may become the most cherished of them all.”Music Played in Today's ProgramJean Sibelius: Symphony No. 6

Few countries have elevated a composer like Finland and Jean Sibelius. John Banther and Evan Keely look into his breakout success, symphonies, dramatic life events, and how he incorporates Finnish culture into music. Plus, what do Sibelius, Gilmore Girls, and Lord of The Rings have in common?Support Classical Breakdown: https://weta.org/donatefmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some people are surprised to learn that Black Rock City is home to not just one but two full-fledged symphony orchestras. While the Black Rock Philharmonic kicks out the classical jams, the Playa Pops brings the big-ensemble sound to popular music. Both are composed (ahem) of passionate volunteer musicians – classically trained, self-trained, and otherwise – who come together once a year to perform in the dust (or mud) the songs they have practiced all year at home.In this installment, kbot and Stuart talk to members of the Playa Pops and the Black Rock Philharmonic about their process, their performances, and how the desert hates their instruments. And we get to hear some amazing live music performed by actual humans, recorded live at Burning Man 2023 in the Black Rock Desert.https://www.playapops.comhttps://blackrockphilharmonic.orghttps://www.temple2023.comhttps://www.michaelgarlington.com/chapel-of-babel LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
