Johannes Brahms will Komponist werden - und sucht einen Mentor. Er versucht sein Glück bei Franz Liszt. Der Weltstar ist dem jungen Talent durchaus wohlgesonnen. Dann aber begeht Brahms einen Fehler, der alles verderben könnte.
Es ist nicht nur der Konzertmitschnitt von Brahms' Werk festgehalten, sondern auch die Probenarbeit mit Blomstedt.
“My father taught me … keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” – Michael (Al Pacino) The Godfather Part II (1974) Could this explain our ‘dearest allies’, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and perhaps Great Britain? Today, we focus on the increasingly tenuous, unholy ‘alliance’ between America and Israel in particular. Is it me, or does Pike’s outline of WWIII (i.e., PZ vs. PI) in his Aug 15, 1871 letter to Italian Illuminatus, Giuseppi Mazzini seem like it’s coming more to fruition with each passing day…?

In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. [x] Websters 1828 – Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – Probity > Primarily, tried virtue or integrity, or approved actions; but in general, strict honesty; sincerity; veracity; integrity in principle, or strict conformity of actions to the laws of justice. probity of mind or principle is best evinced by probity of conduct in social dealings, particularly in adhering to strict integrity in the observance and performance of rights called imperfect, which public laws to not reach and cannot enforce. ‘On This Day’ Related [x] WW3 – Albert Pike and the Three World Wars > The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

Dirigent, Organist, Cembalist, Improvisator: Rudolf Lutz gehört zu den prägendsten Bach-Interpreten der Schweiz. Als musikalischer Leiter der J. S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen widmet er sich seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten der Aufführung und Einspielung des gesamten Kantatenwerks von J.S. Bach. Fast 200 Kantaten hat er bereits dirigiert – jede einzelne mit der Leidenschaft eines Musikers, für den Bach weit mehr ist als ein Komponist: «Bach ist mein Lebenselexier», sagt Lutz. In «Musik für einen Gast» blickt Rudolf Lutz auf ein vielseitiges Musikerleben zurück. Über 40 Jahre war er Organist an der St. Laurenzenkirche in St. Gallen, wurde für seine Auseinandersetzung mit Bachs geistlicher Musik mit einem Ehrendoktor der Theologie ausgezeichnet und hat sich als Improvisator und Vermittler einen Namen gemacht. Im Gespräch mit Eva Oertle spricht Rudolf Lutz über seine musikalischen Wurzeln und die prägende Rolle seiner englischen Grossmutter. Er erzählt von seinem Weg zur Musik, der über eine Ausbildung zum Primarlehrer führte – und von der Vielseitigkeit, die sein künstlerisches Leben bis heute bestimmt. Er spricht über Inspiration und Zweifel, über Glauben, Familie und das Älterwerden – und darüber, was Musik für ihn im Innersten bedeutet. Neben einer Arie von Bach bringt Rudolf Lutz auch ein englisches Volkslied in der Bearbeitung von Benjamin Britten mit, eine Jazzaufnahme von Benny Goodman, einen Sinfoniesatz von Brahms und Musik, die er im Dialog mit Texten von Klaus Merz selbst geschrieben hat: «Bilder von Leben und Tod», ein Werk, das noch eine weitere Seite von Rudolf Lutz zeigt – die des Komponisten. Die Musiktitel - Johann Sebastian Bach: Die Seele ruht in Jesu Händen, BWV 127 Nr. 3 (J.S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen; Julia Doyle, Sopran; Rudolf Lutz, Leitung) - Benjamin Britten: Come you not from New Castle (Peter Pears, Tenor; Benjamin Britten, Klavier) - Rudolf Lutz: Feuerverlauf, aus «Bilder von Leben und Tod», mit Texten von Klaus Merz (Sonus Quartett) - Louis Prima: Sing, Sing, Sing (Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, Live in Stockholm 1970) - Johannes Brahms: 4. Satz aus Sinfonie Nr. 1 c-Moll (Tapiola Sinfonietta; Mario Venzago, Leitung)

Esta madrugada que dedicamos 'El Faro' a la palabra “poco”, hemos descubierto que, en la historia de los faros de España, ha habido muy pocas mujeres fareras: solo 26. El documental ‘Aunque seamos islas', dirigido por Cristina Rodríguez Paz, nos presenta a seis de ellas. Además, hemos hablado con la humorista Laura del Val, que se ha hecho viral en redes sociales por mostrar cómo los castellanos saben hacer una virtud el ser una persona de pocas palabras. Y Alejandro Pelayo, como cada martes, se ha sentado al piano del estudio central de la SER; esta vez, para tocar algunas de las canciones que más bien le gustan poco. Pero también para hablarnos de la historia de amor de un compositor que sí le gusta mucho: Johannes Brahms.
The English contralto Alfreda Hodgson (07 June 1940 – 16 April 1992) has been featured numerous times on Countermelody and when I recently acquired a copy of her 1980 solo recital recording originally released on Pearl Records, I decided that the time was right to do a full episode on this rich-voiced, profoundly musical singer. Though she was equally superb in Bach, Mahler, Handel, and Elgar, I have chosen to focus on her performances of the music of Johannes Brahms, including superb recordings of the Alto Rhapsody, the Songs for Alto and Viola, the Vier ernste Gesänge, and a posthumously-assembled collection of his Lieder published under the title Mädchenlieder. Artists accompanying Hodgson include Bernard Haitink, Edward Downes, violist Ludmila Navrath, and her long-standing pianist, the late Keith Swallow. I begin the episode with brief examples of Hodgson singing (in English) the music of her countrymen Lennox Berkeley, Edward Elgar, and John Ireland in the company of Peter Pears, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Steuart Bedford, and Alan Rowlands. Countermelody is the 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 author 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.

On October 24, we observe the 104th birthday of the nonpareil Croatian soprano Sena Jurinac. Like Hildegard Behrens, whose prowess as a purveyor of art song we explored a few weeks ago, Jurinac was best known as an opera singer, specializing (in her case) in Mozart and Strauss heroines, though she was also beautifully suited to the Lieder repertoire. Jurinac was a singer of enormous warmth, poise, and humanity gifted with a voice that combined warmth and ease. It was her directness and spontaneity which, alongside her peerless musicianship and rock-solid vocal technique, has made her a favorite of many generations of lovers of great singing. Central to this episode is a rare 1976 album of Lieder by Johannes Brahms, which displays, even more than thirty years after her operatic debut, all her most treasurable qualities. The Brahms is supplemented by her 1953 studio recording of Ottorino Respighi's extended vocal chamber work Il tramonto, a setting in Italian of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem “The Sunset”; as well as a rare live 1961 recording of Richard Strauss's “Im Abendrot” from his Vier letzte Lieder, like the Respighi a meditation on two souls at the setting of the sun.
