The Blue Danube has been performed for some pretty lofty audiences – kings and queens, emperors and empresses, presidents and prime ministers. But a performance earlier this year topped them all: it was aimed at the stars. The waltz was composed by Johann Strauss II, who was born 200 years ago today. His birthday was one of the motivations for the performance. The other was the 50th anniversary of ESA – the European Space Agency. So the broadcast was mostly symbolic – not a real attempt to contact other civilizations. The waltz was performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in late May. It was transmitted to space by one of ESA’s tracking stations. The waltz was beamed toward Voyager 1. It’s the most-distant working spacecraft in history – more than 15 billion miles from Earth – so far that it took 23 hours for the waltz to reach it. Voyager carries a golden phonograph record inscribed with several musical works – but not the Strauss waltz. Voyager is passing through Ophiuchus, near the constellation’s brightest star, Rasalhague. It’s about half way up in the west-southwest at nightfall, and it’s easy to see. It’s a bit more than 48 light-years away. So if anyone there happens to point a radio telescope toward Earth in late 2073, perhaps they’ll hear the strains of The Blue Danube waltzing through the galaxy. Script by Damond Benningfield

El 31 de mayo de 2025, la Agencia Espacial Europea transmitirá el famoso vals El Danubio azul hacia la nave Voyager 1   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  A 24 mil millones de kilómetros de la Tierra viaja Voyager 1, la sonda espacial más lejana de la humanidad. Aunque no puede responder, será el destinatario simbólico de un concierto único: El Danubio azul, compuesto hace dos siglos por Johann Strauss II y famoso por acompañar una escena de ballet espacial en la película 2001: Odisea del espacio, será transmitido desde España como homenaje. ¿Puede una pieza musical corregir un “error cósmico”?  Cuando la NASA lanzó las sondas Voyager en 1977, incluyó un disco dorado con saludos en múltiples idiomas, sonidos de la Tierra y una selección musical global. Aunque contenía a Bach, Mozart, Beethoven y Chuck Berry, el vals de Strauss no fue incluido. Muchos lo vieron como una omisión extraña, especialmente por su fama intergaláctica gracias a 2001: Odisea del espacio, donde suena mientras una nave espacial se acopla lentamente a una estación orbital, como si flotara en un escenario celestial.  La omisión del vals en el disco dorado fue justificada por criterios de diversidad cultural y purismo ideológico. Los encargados del comité liderado por Carl Sagan optaron por incluir ejemplos folclóricos y modernos poco conocidos, dejando fuera una de las piezas más populares del repertorio clásico europeo. El vals se volvió tan emblemático en el cine que muchos lo consideran el himno no oficial del espacio, pero se quedó en la Tierra… hasta ahora.  El sábado 31 de mayo de 2025, a las 20:30 CET, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Viena tocará El Danubio azul desde el Museo de Artes Aplicadas. ESA usará su antena DSA 2, de 35 metros, en Cebreros, España, para enviar la señal a Voyager 1. La transmisión viajará a 1.079 millones de kilómetros por hora, pasando por la Luna en 1,5 segundos, Marte en 4,5 minutos, Júpiter en 37 minutos y Neptuno en 4 horas. Llegará hasta la posición de Voyager 1 en 23 horas.  Probablemente no. Aunque el haz de radio será dirigido con precisión, la antena de Voyager 1, construida en los años 70, no está diseñada para recibir audio con el formato actual. Tampoco tiene la capacidad para interpretar señales tan rápidas ni filtrar el ruido interestelar. Es decir, la transmisión será más simbólica que funcional. Pero eso no le quita su valor: el mensaje viajará hacia las estrellas, apuntando al sistema estelar AC+79 3888, a 17 años luz de distancia.  La Orquesta Sinfónica de Viena ensayó con rigor para evitar fallos técnicos. Aunque habrá un concierto en vivo, la señal transmitida será de una grabación de ensayo hecha la noche anterior. Este evento celebra múltiples aniversarios: los 200 años del nacimiento de Johann Strauss II, los 50 de la ESA, los 20 de la antena DSA 2 y los 125 de la orquesta vienesa. La iniciativa busca hacer justicia poética, llevando el vals más famoso del mundo hasta un oyente que no podrá escucharlo, pero que representa la esperanza de encontrar vida o, al menos, memoria en las estrellas.  No es la primera vez que la música viaja al cosmos. En 2008, la NASA envió la canción Across the Universe de The Beatles. En 2012, el tema Reach for the Stars de will.i.am fue transmitido desde un rover en Marte hacia la Tierra. Y en 2024, The Rain de Missy Elliott fue enviada rumbo a Venus. Además, los astronautas de misiones tripuladas han recibido música desde la Tierra desde los años 60. Lo que diferencia este evento es su conexión artística con la historia del cine y con una nave que literalmente salió del sistema solar.  Strauss no viajó en el disco dorado, pero ahora su vals flota en dirección al espacio interestelar. ¿Crees que hay alguien o algo allá afuera que podría escucharlo?

I can think of no more appropriate way to end this difficult year than with another episode lauding my late friend, the sublime American lyric tenor Jerry Hadley. I am of the firm belief that Jerry was one of the finest singers this country has ever produced. Everyone has their favorite among his performances, which display an eclecticism rare among opera singers, but I believe that his artistry found its fullest and truest expression in his performances of Viennese operetta. His bright, sunny vocal timbre, his capacity for vocal shading and dynamics, his sense of both humor and pathos, his ringing high notes, as well as of precision and acuity of his German diction make him an ideal interpreter of this music. The majority of the music heard on this episode comes from two albums of operetta arias that Jerry recorded in 1995 under the baton of Richard Bonynge. This is supplemented by two duets with Australian soprano Deborah Riedel from a series of English-language versions of Lehár operettas also conducted by Bonynge, as well as various live performances of Jerry in the music of Johann Strauss II and Erich Korngold. While Lehár is the most prominently featured composer, we also heard excerpts from work by Emmerich Kálmán, Carl Millöcker, Ralph Benatzky, Leo Fall, and that king of operetta tenors himself, Richard Tauber, who was also quite a capable composer. The episode concludes with reminiscences of my close friendship with Jerry, crowned by a magisterial live performance of “Dein ist mein ganzes Herz.” 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.

The world of Vienna at the end of the 19th century was a world of change.  New design, new fashion and new philosophy  -- and new music.  But amidst sweeping change, the Viennese drank champagne and were swept along by the works of the great Johann Strauss II, known appropriately as the "Waltz King". One of his greatest works is the operetta megahit Die Fledermaus which, beneath its frivolity and popping champagne corks, lies a darker vision and foreshadowing of a very different world to come. In this episode, Carl is joined by returning musicologist and professional musician Dr. Christopher Brellochs for a look at Strauss and his most famous work -- how he created it and what he was trying to communicate to audiences.   In addition, Carl and Chris take a look at another blockbuster operetta, The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar and discuss how the musical form has evolved into a modern era.  Lastly, this episode ends with a look at just how works like Die Fledermaus and The Merry Widow have influenced our modern Broadway musical theatre today. Visit the Gilded Gentleman website for more episodes.

This Day in Legal History: First Televised TrialOn October 25, 1988, New York marked a significant moment in legal and media history by televising its first-ever courtroom trial—the highly publicized murder case of Joel Steinberg. Steinberg, a disbarred attorney, was accused of the brutal abuse and subsequent death of six-year-old Lisa Steinberg, his illegally adopted daughter. Public outrage and media interest were intense, and the televised trial offered viewers unprecedented access to courtroom dynamics, evidence presentation, and witness testimony. This coverage came as part of an experimental initiative in New York, designed to gauge whether the public's right to access the legal process through television could coexist with the fairness and decorum of courtroom proceedings. The trial captivated audiences and sparked debates over the benefits and pitfalls of televised trials. Advocates argued that broadcasting trials promoted transparency and public understanding of the judicial system. Opponents, however, voiced concerns that television could disrupt proceedings, influence witness behavior, and introduce bias by swaying public opinion. Steinberg's trial ultimately led to his conviction for manslaughter, though the broader implications of the experiment reached far beyond this single case. The success of this experiment paved the way for the launch of Court TV in July 1991, which would go on to cover high-profile cases like those of O.J. Simpson and the Menendez brothers, changing public engagement with the legal system. This development marked a shift toward greater media access in courtrooms across the United States, though the debate over its impacts continues today. The Steinberg case remains a key moment in the intersection of law and media, shaping how future generations would come to witness and understand legal proceedings through their screens.Hollywood studios frequently use California's anti-SLAPP law to counter idea theft lawsuits, claiming free speech protections to halt proceedings and requiring plaintiffs to demonstrate their case has merit early on. The anti-SLAPP statute was originally designed to protect individuals from strategic lawsuits stifling public participation, but it now often benefits large corporations in creative disputes. Once defendants claim free speech protections, plaintiffs face restrictions on discovery, potential delays from appeals, and the risk of paying hefty legal fees for defendants if the motion is successful. Recent court decisions, like Musero v. Creative Artists Agency and Norman v. Ross, have strengthened the effectiveness of anti-SLAPP motions in these cases, making it challenging for creators to bring successful suits. While the Ninth Circuit previously allowed some idea theft claims to proceed in federal court (e.g., Jordan-Benel v. Universal), California state courts have since diverged, making such claims nearly impossible to win in state court. This split between federal and state interpretations creates additional uncertainty for plaintiffs. Attorneys now approach idea theft claims cautiously, noting the costs, time, and complexities due to anti-SLAPP law. Even with valid claims, plaintiffs may struggle against the heavy evidentiary burden, and fewer lawyers are willing to take on such cases in California's current legal landscape.Hollywood Studios Use Free Speech Law to Beat Idea Theft SuitsA bipartisan bill that would provide tax relief for U.S. citizens held hostage abroad is stalled in Congress. The Senate bill, introduced by Senator Chris Coons, seeks to delay tax filing deadlines and waive penalties for detained individuals and their spouses. Supporters argue that wrongful detainees should not face IRS penalties for missed deadlines due to captivity, and inaction would leave affected Americans liable for accumulating penalties. This issue has gained urgency following recent hostage situations, including Americans held in Gaza and other countries.The Senate bill's path forward is complicated by a disagreement over legislative procedure. The Senate agreed to pass the bill without a separate vote if the House sent over an identical version. However, the House Ways and Means Committee chose to advance a different bill, introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney, which merges tax penalty relief with changes to the process for revoking tax-exempt status for groups linked to terrorism. House Republicans believe the merged bill improves the original, but this approach risks delaying or blocking the legislation entirely, as the Senate is less likely to approve the modified version. If the House does not pass the original Senate bill, the legislation will likely be delayed until the next Congressional term.Relief for Hostages Facing IRS Penalties Bogs Down in CongressLos Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced he would recommend parole for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who have served nearly 35 years in prison for the 1989 murder of their parents. Gascon cited new evidence supporting claims that the brothers endured years of sexual abuse by their father, Jose Menendez, which could have influenced the jury's decision had it been available during their trials. Convicted in a high-profile second trial in the 1990s, the brothers argued self-defense, but prosecutors claimed they killed their parents for financial gain.Gascon now believes the brothers, ages 21 and 18 at the time of the murders, have “paid their debt to society,” though he emphasized the severity of their crime and noted opposition within his office. He also acknowledged a recent letter from Erik Menendez describing abuse months before the murders, as well as allegations against Jose Menendez from a former member of the pop band Menudo, raising questions about abuse patterns.The decision to expedite the case follows renewed public interest, driven by a Netflix dramatization and an upcoming court hearing scheduled for November 26. Gascon, facing re-election, denied that political motivations influenced his decision, highlighting his broader efforts to address “over-incarceration” in similar cases. Some Menendez family members support the brothers' release, while Gascon reiterated his office's evolving stance on complex issues of sexual abuse and violence.Menendez Brothers to Get DA Recommendation for Resentencing (1)Prosecutor recommends parole for Menendez brothers in 1989 murder of parents | ReutersThe owners of the cargo ship Dali have agreed to pay the U.S. government $102 million after the vessel collided with Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March 2024, causing its collapse and resulting in six fatalities. The Justice Department had filed a $103 million lawsuit against Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited, both based in Singapore, to recover federal costs for cleanup and debris removal needed to reopen the Port of Baltimore. This operation required over 1,500 responders and substantial resources, with reopening delayed until June.The Dali had reportedly experienced electrical failures leading up to the crash, prompting both a National Transportation Safety Board inquiry and an FBI investigation. Additionally, Maryland state officials are seeking separate compensation from the companies, estimating $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion to rebuild the bridge by 2028. Funds recovered for bridge reconstruction are expected to reduce costs borne by taxpayers.Cargo-ship owner to pay US $102 million over Baltimore bridge collapse, DOJ says | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johann Strauss II.This week's closing theme features the lively elegance of Johann Strauss II with the first movement of his Wiener Klänge im Walzertakt mit Johann Strauss, a piece that captures the unmistakable joy and sophistication of the Viennese waltz. Known as the “Waltz King,” Johann Strauss II was a composer and conductor who, more than anyone, popularized and refined the waltz into an art form beloved worldwide. Born into a musical family in 1825, he inherited his father's musical gifts and keen understanding of public taste, quickly building on his father's legacy to establish himself as a central figure in Austrian music.Strauss's music became synonymous with the grandeur and charm of 19th-century Vienna. His waltzes, like the famous Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods, offered audiences sweeping, melodic expressions of life's joyful moments and turned the city into a cultural hotspot. Wiener Klänge, or "Viennese Sounds," presents a selection of these celebrated waltzes, celebrating not only the beauty of the dance but also the rhythmic elegance that Strauss brought to the genre. The piece combines energetic and graceful passages that bring the sparkle of a Viennese ballroom to life.Strauss was known for infusing his compositions with light-hearted elegance and rhythmic sophistication, evoking the sway and energy of couples gliding across a ballroom floor. His work on Wiener Klänge draws listeners into this vibrant world, where each waltz embodies both the simplicity and complexity that made his music timeless. To this day, his works continue to charm audiences worldwide, cementing his legacy as one of Austria's most beloved composers. Ending with Wiener Klänge is a nod to his infectious rhythm and intricate harmonies that encapsulate Vienna's musical heritage—an uplifting conclusion to our week.Without further ado, Wiener Klänge im Walzertakt mit Johann Strauss first movement, enjoy.

Vamos explorar a incrível obra de um dos maiores mestres da orquestração: Maurice Ravel. O compositor francês, nascido em 1875, foi capaz de dar vida a cores e texturas únicas na orquestra, sempre sabendo exatamente qual instrumento deveria carregar cada melodia. Ravel concebeu a ideia para La valse pela primeira vez em 1906. Inicialmente, a peça seria chamada de Wien (o nome alemão para Viena) em homenagem às valsas vienenses de Johann Strauss II, que Ravel admirava sinceramente. Anos mais tarde, seu aluno Manuel Rosenthal lembrou que Ravel acreditava “que todos os compositores realmente tinham o desejo de ter sucesso em escrever uma valsa muito boa”, dizendo que “Infelizmente é muito difícil. Portanto, tentei escrever uma valsa sinfônica como um tributo ao gênio de Johann Strauss.” Apresentado por Aroldo Glomb Seja nosso padrinho: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apoia.se/conversadecamara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RELAÇÃO DE PADRINS Aarão Barreto, Adriano Caldas, Gustavo Klein, Fernanda Itri, Eduardo Barreto, Fernando Ricardo de Miranda, Leonardo Mezzzomo,Thiago Takeshi Venancio Ywata.

fWotD Episode 2628: Jacques Offenbach Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 15 July 2024 is Jacques Offenbach.Jacques Offenbach (; 20 June 1819 – 5 October 1880) was a German-born French composer, cellist and impresario. He is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s to the 1870s, and his uncompleted opera The Tales of Hoffmann. He was a powerful influence on later composers of the operetta genre, particularly Franz von Suppé, Johann Strauss II and Arthur Sullivan. His best-known works were continually revived during the 20th century, and many of his operettas continue to be staged in the 21st. The Tales of Hoffmann remains part of the standard opera repertory.Born in Cologne, Kingdom of Prussia, the son of a synagogue cantor, Offenbach showed early musical talent. At the age of 14, he was accepted as a student at the Paris Conservatoire; He found academic study unfulfilling and left after a year, but remained in Paris. From 1835 to 1855 he earned his living as a cellist, achieving international fame, and as a conductor. His ambition, however, was to compose comic pieces for the musical theatre. Finding the management of Paris's Opéra-Comique company uninterested in staging his works, in 1855 he leased a small theatre in the Champs-Élysées. There, during the next three years, he presented a series of more than two dozen of his own small-scale pieces, many of which became popular.In 1858 Offenbach produced his first full-length operetta, Orphée aux enfers ("Orpheus in the Underworld"), with its celebrated can-can; the work was exceptionally well received and has remained his most played. During the 1860s, he produced at least eighteen full-length operettas, as well as more one-act pieces. His works from this period include La belle Hélène (1864), La Vie parisienne (1866), La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein (1867) and La Périchole (1868). The risqué humour (often about sexual intrigue) and mostly gentle satiric barbs in these pieces, together with Offenbach's facility for melody, made them internationally known, and translated versions were successful in Vienna, London, elsewhere in Europe and in the US.Offenbach became associated with the Second French Empire of Napoleon III: the emperor and his court were genially satirised in many of Offenbach's operettas, and Napoleon personally granted him French citizenship and the Légion d'honneur. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, and the fall of the empire, Offenbach found himself out of favour in Paris because of his imperial connections and his German birth. He remained successful in Vienna, London and New York. He re-established himself in Paris during the 1870s, with revivals of some of his earlier favourites and a series of new works, and undertook a popular US tour. In his last years he strove to finish The Tales of Hoffmann, but died before the premiere of the opera, which has entered the standard repertory in versions completed or edited by other musicians.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Monday, 15 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Jacques Offenbach on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Amy.

Today's episode is a celebration of the Texas-born, German-assimilated soprano Helen Donath. Very few singers can boast of a career lasting more than 50 years which yielded such consistently superb vocalism and artistry. Donath began as a soubrette with lyric-coloratura capabilities which blossomed into a jugendlich dramatisch voice capable of successfully assuming roles in Wagner, Strauss, and Weber. Today's episode has two “gimmicks,” the first of which is that all of the selections are sung in German, even if they were originally set in French or Italian. The second gimmick is that strewn in amongst the other selections, there is a smattering of holiday-related material including works by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Humperdinck, and Pfitzner. Other composers heard include Otto Nicolai, Friedrich von Flotow, Paul Hindemith, as well as numerous examples of Donath's peerless Mozart singing and a generous helping of operettas by Lehár, Millöcker, and Johann Strauss II. Vocal guest stars are legion, and include Julia Varady, Siegfried Jerusalem, Anna Moffo, Peter Schreier, Edda Moser, Theo Adam, Werner Hollweg, and Günther Leib in performances conducted by Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Kurt Eichhorn, Rafael Kubelik, Herbert Blomstedt, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Bernhard Klee, Otmar Suitner, Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, Gerd Albrecht, and Willi Boskovsky, as well as Klaus Donath, Helen's husband since 1965. 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.

Episode 147. The Young Gabriel Bacquier

Two years ago last month, the great French (bass-)baritone Gabriel Bacquier died just four days short of his 96th birthday. At that time I offered a brief memorial tribute which opened my eyes to aspects of his artistry and voice with which I had been previously unfamiliar. Like his near-contemporary, the Italian baritone Tito Gobbi, Bacquier was one of the supreme actors of the operatic stage, whose voice coarsened somewhat over the course of his long career, even as his mastery as an actor and interpreter increased. By the time he retired, his repertoire consisted almost entirely of buffo parts. But in the earliest years of his career (and also like Gobbi), he possessed a baritone of velvety beauty that might surprise those who know only his later comic roles. This episode, which commemorates the second anniversary of Bacquier's death as well as his (posthumous) 98th birthday, focuses on the three different musical genres in which, in those early years, from 1953 through 1968, he excelled in equal measure: opera, of course, but also mélodie and operetta. The operatic portrayals represented include the title roles in Don Giovanni and Orphée et Eurydice; Zurga in Les Pêcheurs de perles; the Count in Le nozze di Figaro; Iago in Otello; Golaud; and his incomparable Scarpia, which he sang opposite every great Tosca of the 1960s with the exception of Callas. Complementing these live and studio recordings are recordings of melodies by Duparc, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc; and operetta arias by Sigmund Romberg, Franz Lehár, Johann Strauss II, and Reynaldo Hahn, all deliciously sung in French. Vocal guest stars include Mirella Freni; Alain Vanzo; Bernard Demigny; Janine Ervil; Yvonne Gall, with whom Bacquier studied at the Conservatoire de Paris; and the late Renate Holm, the renowned German soubrette who died in April at the age of 90. In all this repertoire, Bacquier, who insisted on the appellation “acting singer” rather than “singing actor,” displays his commitment to clear yet full projection of text, which serves as a mirror into the music and not the other way around. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.
