Podcasts about Johann Sebastian Bach

The world is a-changing. Maximilian I may still dream of the medieval universal empire where he will lead Christendom in an epic crusade to expel the Turks from the European mainland, even reconquering Jerusalem. Meanwhile his main adversary, king Charles VIII of France unleashed the fury of war in Italy, kicking off a struggle that would last for 50 years and replaced the medieval world of popes and emperors with a system based on the balance of powers.In the near term, this expedition to conquer the kingdom of Naples triggered not only the outbreak of Syphilis, but also the double marriage between Habsburg and Spain that Maximilian did not want, but ended up being the second of the three marriages that created an empire.Lots to get through, none of it boring..The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

After 13 years of fighting in the Low Countries, Maximilian, the newly elected king of the Roman, returns home to a rammed full inbox. There is his cousin, the dissolute count Sigismund of Tyrol who is about to sell out the family fortune to the dukes of Bavaria. The king of Hungary is still occupying Vienna – and there is a new heiress out on the market, Anne of Brittanny.Some of the issues he tackles together with his now seriously elderly father, the emperor Friedrich III, others are very much his own tasks. In the process Friedrich creates a structurally new political entity, the Swabian League, Maximilian builds a relationship with Jakob Fugger, the money man who will grease the cogs of the Habsburg empire, and once again they fight, one battle after another.And despite tremendous success, this period from 1489 to 1493, ends with some epic humiliation, not in war, but in love. “No man on earth has ever been disgraced as I have been at the hands of the French” is how he summarised it.Come along and watch as the plot thickens.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In this episode the 15-year long war over the Burgundian succession will come to its end. You may have thought it was done last time, but no. The revolutionary spirit of the Flemish cities is not yet broken and their most audacious move is still to come. And this time they are not going up against an archduke and regent, but against a newly elected king of the Romans.Maximilian of Habsburg's experience in Burgundy swung between moments of utter delight and happiness and depths of death, destruction and despair. It shaped this young duke who arrived aged 18 full of dreams of chivalry and left, aged 31 an battle hardened general with a clear view of where he wanted to take the empire. Get ready for the ultimate roller coaster.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer who lived in the 1600s and 1700s. He wrote hundreds of pieces for choirs, organs, harpsichords, and orchestras. His music is known for being beautifully layered and full of emotion. Even though Bach wasn't very famous during his lifetime, later musicians discovered his work and realized how talented he was. Today, he is considered one of the greatest composers in history. Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App

En este episodio —siguiendo el capítulo de Kirsi Stjerna— entramos en esa mezcla de raíces medievales, elementos precristianos y preferencias étnicas que, lejos de diluir la fe, suele funcionar como su lenguaje cotidiano: coronas de Adviento, árboles iluminados, villancicos y una liturgia que proclama la Encarnación como esperanza contra la muerte.  Exploramos por qué el luteranismo conserva el 25 de diciembre, organiza la temporada en doce días hasta Epifanía, y mantiene una sensibilidad “occidental” cercana a la misa en estructura—pero con un acento distintivo en la Palabra proclamada y el lugar del sermón. Luego nos detenemos en dos gigantes de la memoria luterana: Martín Lutero, con su repertorio de predicación y cantos navideños (incluida la teología de la cruz en clave de pesebre), y Johann Sebastian Bach, cuya música sigue marcando la experiencia navideña en iglesias y hogares.  Finalmente, viajamos por la diversidad: desde calendarios de Adviento y mercados alemanes hasta Santa Lucía en Escandinavia; desde el intercambio de regalos (reorientado hacia el Niño Cristo) hasta cenas que saben a ganso, curry o tamales. Una Navidad luterana, en suma, es teología hecha ritmo, luz y comunidad.

Kantate zum 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag für Soli, Chor und Orchester, BWV 110 Bei dieser Diskothek geht es um eine Kantate von J.S. Bach, die der Komponist für die Weihnachtstage komponiert hat: «Unser Mund sei voll Lachens», BWV 110 für den ersten Weihnachtstag für Soli, Chor und Orchester. Ein schöner Titel für die Weihnachtszeit – und heiter ist denn auch der Eingangschor, bevor in der Tenor- und Alt-Arie auch der Schmerz ausgedrückt wird. Das Duett für Sopran und Tenor (Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe) hat schliesslich einen fast tänzerischen Charakter im Dreiertakt. Und der prächtige Schlusschor rundet diese Kantate ab. In der Diskothek werden mehrere Interpretationen verglichen. Gäste von Annelis Berger sind der Cembalist, Organist und Komponist Thomas Leininger und der Musikjournalist Michael Struck-Schloen. Erstausstrahlung: 18.12.2023

Folge 298: Mit der G-Dur-Messe schließt Bach seine vierteilige Serie der Kyrie-Gloria-Messen ab, Maul & Schrammek sinnieren heute darüber, was eigentlich seine Beweggründe für diese Meisterwerke gewesen sein könnten

The words High and Late Middle Ages conjures up images of fog rising up over a field where knights in shining armor are trading blows with double handed swords, mighty bishops overseeing the construction of monumental cathedrals and peasants toiling on the land as serfs. The reason we see it that way goes back to the chivalric literature that celebrated the aristocratic lifestyle where tournaments and poetry mattered more than the humdrum world of business.But let's just take a look back at the High Middle Ages, the time of Richard the Lionheart, Saint Louis and Frederick Barbarossa. Who controlled access to the great endeavor of the time, the conquest of the Holy Land? Who re-opened up the connections to the wider world, from Novgorod to India and China? Who were the most ferocious fighters who neither expected norgranted any quarter? Who had all the money?These were the great cities of Italy, of Flanders, of Picardie and Provence and of the Holy Roman Empire. Verona under the Della Scala in the 14th century generated tax revenues twice as high as those of England, Venice capacity was sixty percent of what France could generate. And these cities fielded armies that, as we know, defeated the Holy Roman Emperors, even the most capable ones like Barbarossa and Frederick II time and time again. Their absolute dedication to fight to the end was evidenced by their extremely heavy and slow war carts, the Carroccios and by the bravery of the Flemish Militia at the Battle of the Golden Spurs. And the first European since Roman times to make to India and China wasn't a Knight errant, but a Venetian merchant, nor were the vast lands on the Eastern side of the continent linked up by military force. The crusades, the grand project of the age was as much a venetian mercantile adventure as a religious pilgrimage, culminating in the sack of Constantinople in 1204. What happened? Where did all these city states go? And why?That is what we are going to discuss today, when we look at the showdown between Maximilian of Habsburg, widower of the last duchess of Burgundy and father of Philip, the universally recognised heir of the Low Countries and the Flemish cities, and specifically its largest, the city of Ghent.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts....

Eine Entdeckungsreise mit The Hanover Band, Concerto Köln und Il Giardino Armonico. Die Jubiläen dreier prägender Klangkörper der historischen Aufführungspraxis bieten den Anlass, ihre interpretatorischen Ansätze einmal unmittelbar nebeneinander zu stellen: The Hanover Band feiert 45 Jahre, Concerto Köln und Il Giardino Armonico jeweils 40 Jahre. Drei Länder, drei Interpretationskulturen – und die Frage: Hat jedes Ensemble im Laufe der Zeit eine eigene musikalische Handschrift entwickelt? Alle drei verbindet ein zentrales Repertoirefundament: die Musik von Johann Sebastian Bach. Zum Jubiläum stellen wir ausgewählte Werke unmittelbar gegenüber. Das 1. Brandenburgische Konzert, das alle drei Ensembles aufgenommen haben, bildet den Ausgangspunkt: Lässt sich allein am Klangbild erkennen, welches Ensemble hinter welcher Aufnahme steht? Zwei der Ensembles haben zudem Vivaldis Vier Jahreszeiten eingespielt – ein ideales Werk, um im «Winter» kontrastierende Lesarten hörbar zu machen. Hört man das zwischen zwei Einspielungen rund 20 Jahre liegen? Auch Bachs Cembalokonzert d-Moll sowie Haydns Sinfonie «La Passione» treten im Doppelvergleich an. So entsteht ein vielschichtiges Panorama. In der Diskothek vergleichen wir Aufnahmen der drei Ensembles und fragen: Spielt man heute anders als vor 40 Jahren? Wie unterscheiden sich die Ensembles voneinander? Haben sie unverwechselbare Profile ausgebildet? Gäste von Eva Oertle sind die Geigerin Leila Schayegh und der Cembalist Jermaine Sprosse.

Folge 297: Bach war keineswegs ein einsamer lutherischer Messenkomponist, sondern die Mode war weit verbreitet. In der g-Moll-Messe gibt es wiederum vollendete Parodietechnik zu bewundern.

By 1477 the rules of war that had been enshrined in the laws of chivalry are gone. The contest between the French and the Habsburgs over the inheritance of the Grand Dukes of the West gives us a foretaste of the things to come. This war isn't just fought between the opposing armies lining up for the decisive battle, but include wholesale starving out of the population, funding local uprisings and using propaganda and bribery to incite rebellions on the enemy's homefront. No one in 15th century Northern Europe is better at this new game than the industrious spider, king Louis XI of France. But a plucky 18-year old Austrian duke who had arrived in Ghent with not much more than the clothes on his back, abundant energy and a budding military genius gave him a run for his huge amounts of money, until tragedy struck. Lots of deception, drama and devastation today….

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Diskussion über ein neues Dokument zur nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie der USA, das letzte Woche veröffentlicht wurde. Wir sprechen über die Punkte des Dokuments, die direkte Auswirkungen auf Europa haben, sowie über die im Dokument enthaltene Vorhersage einer „zivilisatorischen Auslöschung" Europas. Anschließend diskutieren wir über eine jährliche Rangliste von 36 Industrieländern, die auf Inflation, Wachstum des Bruttoinlandprodukts, Beschäftigung und Aktienmarktperformance basiert. In unserem Wissenschaftsthema geht es heute um eine Studie, die fünf verschiedene Phasen in der Entwicklung des menschlichen Gehirns identifiziert hat. Die Studie benennt vier kritische Wendepunkte im Alter von 9, 32, 66 und 83 Jahren, die signifikante Veränderungen in der Strukturierung des Nervensystems markieren. Und zum Schluss diskutieren wir über die Pantone-Farbe des Jahres 2026. Kann die Wahl der Farbe des Jahres kontrovers sein? Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Verbs Meaning „To Stop". Es geht um eine musikwissenschaftliche Arbeit, in deren Rahmen zwei neue Orgelstücke von Johann Sebastian Bach aufgetaucht sind. Die Spur begann in Brüssel und verlief über einen Schüler von Bach. Am Ende wurden die Stücke in Leipzig uraufgeführt. Für Deutsche ist Mallorca schon immer eine Sehnsuchtsdestination gewesen, ein Eldorado. Da Ein Eldorado sein unsere Redewendung für diese Woche ist, haben wir Mallorca, das inoffizielle 17. Bundesland, auch als Thema gewählt, um den Gebrauch dieser Redewendung zu demonstrieren.

Share a commentWhen life doesn't play by the rules—when the righteous suffer, the wicked prosper, and laughter feels thin—wisdom becomes more than a virtue. It becomes survival. Walking through Ecclesiastes 7, we explore how Solomon, late in life, turns from image and excess to a rare, grounded wisdom that faces sorrow honestly, embraces humility, and trusts God's sovereignty when answers stay out of reach.We unpack four patterns that reshape everyday living. First, wisdom rejects perfectionism: no one arrives at moral flawlessness, and the gospel frees us to repent quickly and grow steadily. Second, wisdom refuses to be paralyzed by criticism: we learn to sift words with courage and humility, asking what might be true and letting God use it for change. Third, wisdom recognizes the limits of intellectualism: knowledge is precious but not ultimate, and discernment blooms where prayer and thought meet. Fourth, wisdom resists hedonism's empty promises: Solomon's pursuit of pleasure drained his capacity for covenant joy, reminding us that ordered loves—rooted in God—turn desire into durable delight.Along the way, we draw a surprising line to Johann Sebastian Bach, whose marked-up Ecclesiastes 7 and quiet margin prayers reveal why sorrow can tutor the heart better than easy days. The benefits of wisdom prove practical and visible: a unique steadiness in a noisy world, clearer choices amid life's riddles, and a softened face that signals a softened heart. If you've felt the tension of unanswered questions and the pull of quick fixes, this conversation invites you to a wiser way—one that steadies your steps, restores purpose, and keeps you close to the God who knows the end from the beginning.If this message helps you think and live more wisely, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

How often have you heard this phrase “Let others wage war; you, happy Austria, marry". It goes back to a whole string of marriages, first Maximilian of Habsburg married the heiress of the duchy of Burgundy, then his son married the heiress of Spain and finally his grandson married the heiress of Hungary and Bohemia. And bish bash bosh, an empire is created in the horizontal.That is nice and neat but not exactly true. Sure the marriages happened, but not in the way at least I have been told. There was a lot more drama and a lot more agency than you think. For a whole six months Maximilian, the Last Knight in his shining armour, left Marie of Burgundy to fend off invasions, revolutions and conspiracies on her own. She was imprisoned, her ministers were hanged and she was told marriage to a 7-year old hunchback was her only wayout. How she managed through that and found herself in the very first truly passionate marriage we have heard about in the History of the Germans Podcast, well, that is what we are talking about today.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

What is it like to grow up the son of the emperor? For most of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire we have covered so far, no idea. There are scarce reports about the way the princes grew up, safe for tales like the emperor Ludwig the Bavarian being kidnapped by his pet monkey. But now, as the Late Middle Ages make way for the Renaissance, we can see the boy who would be king at play, being fed by his nursemaid and pretending to be a knight at a tournament.And even better, this emperor is Maximilian, the last Knight, one of the most iconic rulers of his time. Come along as we descend into the delights and terrors of his epic childhood, complete with mythmaking in drawings and woodcuts.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

It hasn't been a Good Week for the climate since, er, 1820-something? And it wasn't last week, either. But it is a good week for The Europeans, because we're joined by Luisa Neubauer, one of Germany's best-known climate activists. Luisa recently wrote a terrific piece for The Economist about Europe's climate “vibe shift”. We got her insights on what has caused the greenlash and what we ought to be doing about it. It's a thoughtful, self-reflective, heartening conversation we think you'll enjoy.    We're also talking about Brussels' proposed “military Schengen” agreement, which would allow EU member states to move troops and equipment across borders relatively swiftly. (You don't want to know how sluggish things are now.) And we're taking a look at Slovenia's troubling new “Šutar Law”, a security bill that is widely understood to target the Roma minority.   In other news… The Europeans are launching a newsletter! If you want to hear more about what happened in Europe over the past week and find out what we left on the podcast-cutting-room floor, subscribe to GOOD WEEK BAD WEEK over on Substack. New issues hit inboxes on Friday mornings.   And someone else has a new newsletter, too. Our very own Katy Lee has just published the first issue of Millefeuille, an English-language newsletter “for Parisians who are bad at local news”. If you fall in the middle of the Europeans podcast–Francophile Venn diagram, subscribe here.   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are two newly resurfaced works by Johann Sebastian Bach (here and here) and Carlo Rovelli's book about the physics of time, The Order of Time.  And if you, too, are in the market for a novella to help you knock out your 2025 reading goals, Dominic likes Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These.    Other resources for this episode:   “The surreal 45-day trek at the heart of Nato's defence” - Financial Times, 17 November, 2025  “Commission moves towards ‘Military Schengen' and transformation of defence industry” - European Commission press release, 19 November, 2025  “Why you probably should not re-gauge railways in Europe” - Jon Worth, 30 September, 2025 “Slovenia's ‘Šutar Law' Sets a Dangerous Precedent for Europe” - Roma Foundation for Europe, 18 November, 2025 “Romani Activists Fear Collective Punishment & Discrimination as Slovenia Passes New Security Bill" - European Roma Rights Centre, 7 November, 2025   This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

Dos piezas para órgano escritas por Johann Sebastian Bach cuando era adolescente, y extraviadas hace mucho tiempo, fueron descubiertas en Alemania, en un hecho descrito como "un gran momento para el mundo de la música". Conoce esta y otras noticias positivas.

Viviane Chassot gehört zu den renommiertesten Akkordeonistinnen überhaupt. Sie hat mitgeholfen, ihrem Instrument auch die klassische Musik zu erschliessen. Damit macht sie die klassische Musik auch jenen Menschen zugänglich, die sonst keinen Bezug zu ihr gehabt hätten. Geboren wird Viviane Chassot in Zürich. Sie wächst in Wollerau auf, wo das Akkordeon eine grosse Rolle spielt. Allerdings nicht im klassischen Bereich, sondern in Form eines Akkordeon-Orchesters, das es bis heute gibt. Viviane Chassot interessiert sich damals mehr fürs Ballett. Und zwar so sehr, dass es auch beruflich eine Option wird. Eine Ausbildung am Opernhaus Zürich wäre möglich. Da hört sie am Radio ein Stück von Johann Sebastian Bach. Gespielt auf einem Akkordeon. Das ändert alles. Vivianne Chassot ist Feuer und Flamme und entscheidet sich – weil in ihrer Familie nur ein Hobby erlaubt war – für das Akkordeon. Längst ist das Hobby Beruf. Viviane Chassot hat Werke von Haydn, Mozart und Rameau eingespielt und aufgeführt und so auch mit Grössen wie Simon Rattle oder Alfred Brendel zusammengearbeitet. Und sie verbindet Klassik, Jazz, neue Musik und Improvisation. Auch darin also eine Brückenbauerin. Von ihrer Pionierarbeit für das Instrument und ihrem differenzierten Zugang zum Klang, von ihrem Weg zum Erfolg und ihren Rückschlägen und Krisen, von ihrer Arbeit mit anderen Musikerinnen und Musikern und ihrer Liebe auch zur Rockmusik erzählt Viviane Chassot im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier. Die Musiktitel: Der Einspieler: Josef Haydn: Klaviersonate e-Moll, HOB 16/34: Presto Viviane Chassot, Akkordeon 1. Meat loaf – Alive 2. Joseph Haydn – Die Schöpfung: Holde Gattin, dir zur Seite.

Mit seinem Wohltemperierten Klavier setzte sich Johann Sebastian Bach ein musikalisches Denkmal. Er demonstrierte in seinem Werk seine perfekte Beherrschung des Kontrapunkts.

Sheikh Hasina, in exile in India, was sentenced to death in absentia for crimes against humanity. The former Prime Minister was found guilty of ordering the use of lethal force against protesters, resulting in the deaths of around 1,400 people. Hasina denies the charges and her supporters say they are politically motivated. Also on the programme: we ask what led to Donald Trump's sudden U-turn on the Epstein files; and the discovery of two organ pieces by a teenaged Johann Sebastian Bach.(PICTURE: Bangladeshi Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman addresses the media in Dhaka, 17 November 2025 CREDIT: MONIRUL ALAM/EPA/Shutterstock)

How long can an emperor not be an emperor. The official record stands at 25 years, that is how long Friedrich III had stayed out of the core areas of the Holy Roman Empire. That meant 25 ears of Imperial Diets without the presence of an Emperor, 25 years of stasis on the challenges of the time, the reform of the empire and the defense against the Ottoman expansion. But sometime in the late 1460s the apathic emperor Friedrich III, dubbed the Imperial Arch Sleepy head awakes and does what he had never done before, something. And that something turned into a lot of things, some related toimperial reform, but the most significant something for European history was a marriage, well, an engagement for now, followed by a flight down the river Mosel away from the intended father of the bride. Yes, it is that famous marriage, just not in the way you may have thought it happened.

Today we will talk a lot about Matthias Corvinus, the legendary renaissance king of Hungary whose library outshone that of the Medici in Florence and whose standing army was one of the greatest – and most expensive - military forces in 15th century Europe. Why are we talking about a Hungarian ruler in a series about the Habsburgs? Trust me, there is a good reason beyond it being a fascinating life story.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

It is November 1462 and the emperor Friedrich III and his young family are huddling together in the cellars of the Hofburg. The citizens of Vienna are shooting cannonballs into the 13th century castle, the walls are crumbling and any moment now the angry crowds may break in. Outside, supporting the insurrection stood his own brother, calling on him to give up. Two crowns he has already lost and a third is about to be knocked off his head as the imperial princes had ganged up on him. Friedrich III was a man who firmly believed in ancient laws and traditions and was profoundly ill suited for a world where, as Picciolomini wrote in the last sentence of his history of the emperor Friedrich III quote: “We are of the opinion that empires are won by weapons, not by legal means!” Friedrich III and with him the Habsburgs hit rock bottom, but how and why exactly he ended up there, and w hat that tells us about the profound changes during this period of history is what we are going to explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Our journey today will take us away from the emperor Friedrich III who will spend most of the episode holed up in his castle at Wiener Neustadt, fretting and gardening. Instead we look at the dramatic life of his younger cousin, Ladislaus Postumus, king of Hungary, king of Bohemia and Archduke of Austria. This will take us back to Prague and its complex religious politics, to Vienna where the people fall for the alluring promises of a populist and to Hungary where one of the greatest generals of the age squares up against Mehmet II, the conqueror of Constantinople.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
