This week (inspired by an 10-inch LP in my collection of his songs performed by Anton Dermota and Wilma Lipp, both stalwarts of the Wiener Staatsoper in the 1950s) I present an introduction to the Lieder of Austrian composer Joseph Marx (1882 – 1964). His songs are most frequently compared to Richard Strauss and Hugo Wolf and are distinctly post-Romantic in style and harmony, but they also exhibit traits unique to their composer. As with so many figures from this period in European history, his legacy is shadowed in controversy, which I discuss at length. In the end, I believe it is his contribution as an inspired composer, particularly of song, for which he should be most remembered. Alongside Lipp and Dermota, some of the other singers heard in the episode include Ljuba Welitsch, Irmgard Seefried, Angelika Kirchschlager, Leontyne Price, Lotte Lehmann, Waldemar Kmentt, John Charles Thomas, Florence Easton, and Arleen Augér. Pianists include Marx himself, as well as Erik Werba and Paul Ulanowsky, both of whom studied with him. If you only know one or two of Marx's songs (or if you don't know his work at all), you are in for a glorious surprise! 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 biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theater https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 205 - The HOT Corner Show with Special Guest Dr. John Charles Thomas PHD Dr Ray and Manny speak with Dr. John Charles Thomas PHD author of THE WINNING WEEKEND WARRIOR. (from AMAZON.) The Winning Weekend Warrior aspires to enhance the participation, enjoyment, and success of the reader in all sports. It focuses on strategy, tactics and the "mental game." As it turns out, many of the strategies, tactics and techniques for the psychology of sports are similar regardless of the sport. In fact, many of these same techniques are useful in business and other aspects of life as well. This book is valuable for several reasons. First when it comes to winning, there is much in common among all sports. In terms of the mental game, the commonalities outweigh the differences. In terms of the physical game, there are also great similarities in terms of preparation. Obviously, different sports require specific skills but these are largely improved due to correct practice in the specific sport. You can practice a sport such as golf or tennis for many years and hardly improve at all. Time alone is not enough. You need correct practice and this book can help you make sure you practice correctly. A second reason to read this book is that even if you concentrate on one or two sports, chances are that you will participate occasionally in others. You may be a scratch golfer or a tennis star but occasionally find yourself in a basketball or baseball game. Even if your own days of playing hockey, tackle football and soccer are over, you might volunteer to coach these sports for kids, neighbors, or grandkids. In such cases, this book will help you translate the skills you already have in your main sports into these other domains. As you may have noticed, this is not always easy to do. Perhaps you managed to watch the basketball player, Charles Barkley (career average 22.1 points per game) struggle mightily to become a so-so golfer....

Exklusivt möte med orkesterdirigenten Marin Alsop, musikchef och konstnärlig ledare för Baltimores Symfoniorkester. Första kvinna någonsin i en sådan position i en stor symfoniorkester i USA. Marin Alsop, som föddes i New York, är en amerikansk orkesterdirigent och violinist.  Hennes främste mentor var orkesterdirigenten, tonsättaren och musikern Leonard Bernstein.-När jag var 9 år upplevde jag Leonard Bernstein dirigera New Yorks filharmoniker. Sedan dess är han min stora hjälte och idol, berättar Marin Alsop. Jag älskade honom på distans och när jag lärde känna honom blev min kärlek ännu större. Ovanligt, faktiskt, då kärleken till en idol brukar klinga av när man kommer nära.- Bernstein lärde mig vad berättelsen betyder för varje musikstycke. Han uppmuntrade mig att vara mig själv och genom honom förstod jag vad integritet är, berättar Marin Alsop. Marin Alsop föddes 1956 i New York, och utbildade sig vid Yaleuniversitetet och vid Juilliard School of Music. Mellan 2002 och 2008 var hon chefsdirigent för Bournemouth Symfoniorkester. 2006 blev hon vald till årets musikpersonlighet i England. Sedan 2007 är Marin Alsop chefsdirigent för Baltimores Symfoniorkester och hon gästdirigerar regelbundet hos flera symfoniorkestrar i västvärlden. Hon är även konstnärlig ledare för São Paulo State Symphony. Den 7 september 2013 var Marin Alsop den första kvinnan att dirigera orkester och kör vid anrika Last Night of the Proms i Royal Albert Hall. I programmet presenteras Marin Alsops kvinnliga dirigent-föregångare i USA. Hur står det till för kvinnor inom musiken I USA för 100 år sedan? Jo, amerikanska Musikerförbundet förbjuder kvinnor fram till 1904. Men kvinnorna ger inte upp utan startar istället eget. Under de 100 åren mellan 1893 och 1993 finns det 26 helkvinnliga symfoniorkestrar och sinfoniettor I USA!1924 anställs för första gången musiker av det täcka könet i en manlig symfoniorkester I USA. Fem kvinnor får tillgång till San Fransiscos Symfoniorkester.Året därpå, 1925, blir engelskfödda pianisten, tonsättaren och dirigenten Ethel Leginska dubbelt historisk vid sin debut i USA: hon leder New Yorks Symfoniorkester och de spelar i Carnegie Hall. Ethel Leginska är den första kvinna att dirigera sin egen opera i ett operahus. 1926 grundar hon den 100 musiker starka Bostons Filharmoniska Orkester. Senare grundar och dirigerar Leginska Bostons Kvinnliga Symfoniorkester, Kvinnornas Symfoniorkester i Chicago och Kvinnornas Nationella Symfoniorkester i New York. Under tidigt 30-tal blir Antonia Brico första kvinna att dirigera både hos Berlinfilharmonikerna och i Metropolitanoperan i New York. Efter två föreställningar förbjuds dock Antonia Brico att dirigera i the Met, eftersom baritonen John Charles Thomas vägrar sjunga under kvinnlig ledningI juli 1938, på amfiteatern i Lewisohn Stadium i New York, tillåts Antonia Brico, som första kvinna någonsin, att dirigera de prestigefyllda New Yorks filharmoniker. Dirigenten Judith Somogi får gästdirigera Los Angeles Filharmoniker först 1975, under det s k Kvinnoåret. Senare blir hon kapellmästare vid Frankfurtoperan.Marin Alsop har upprättat stipendiefonden Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship för kvinnliga dirigenter. -Fortfarande behövs det speciellt stöd för kvinnor inom dirigentyrket, förklarar Alsop. Marin Alsop har spelat in ett 70-tal CD-skivor, bl a Johannes Brahms fyra symfonier och hon berättar varför Brahms musik fortfarande kan röra henne till tårar.Låtlista: On the Town - Three Dance Episodes: I.
