The British pianist Charles Owen has made some fine recordings, securing a quartet of Gramophone Editor's Choice accolades for albums of Poulenc, Jonathan Dove, Liszt and, with the violinist Augustin Hadelich, a collection of Czech music. Now, for Avie, he turns his attention to the music of Robert Schumann from the 1830s, including Carnaval, Papillons, the Intermezzi Op 4 and the Abegg Variations. James Jolly caught up with Charles recently in London to talk about the album, how Schumann's fascination with the duality of his character infuses these early works, and also about the luxury of recording in a beautiful restored barn deep in The Cotswolds without having to worry about the strict timetable of a commercial recording studio.
Hein van Eekert in gesprek met Niek Idelenburg: theatermaker en artistiek leider van Holland Opera. Deze wintervakantie brengt Holland Opera samen metdeDuda Paiva Company & New European Ensemble de kerstvoorstelling Reinaert de V. (7+). Koningin Nobel houdt Hofdag. Alle dieren klagen over de kwaadaardige streken van Reinaert de Vos. Bruun de Beer en Tibeert de Kater moeten Reinaert gaan halen, maar hij is ze telkens te slim af. Pas als zijn dochter Rosseline aandringt verschijnt Reinaert aan het gerechtshof. Reinaert wordt veroordeeld... Hij lijkt koningin Nobel met een subliem verhaal te overtuigen van zijn onschuld. Maar Reinaert heeft 1 persoon onderschat: zijn dochter. Niek Idelenburg kruipt in de rol van Reinaert de V. Het aloude verhaal wordt speciaal voor deze voorstelling bewerkt door tweevoudig Gouden Griffelwinnaar Simon van der Geest. Oene van Geel (winnaar VPRO/Boy Edgar Prijs 2013) maakt een veelzijdige muzikale compositie, waarin elk dier een eigen muzikaal idioom krijgt. Reinaert de V. is een multi disciplinaire familievoorstelling met de poppenspelers en dansers van Duda Paiva Company, musici van het New European Ensemble en zangers van Holland Opera. Niek voltooide de dirigentenopleiding aan het Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Aan het conservatorium van Utrecht studeerde hij cum laude af voor klassiek zang. Hij zong in een groot aantal jeugdopera's zoals: Tantes, 4 Musketiers, Ruimtevlucht en Roodhapje. Niek dirigeerde o.a. Jonathan Dove's The Day After, Orfeo Underground en Divorce of Figaro. In de zomer van 2020 componeerde Niek zijn eerste opera: Vliegende Hollander. Hiervoor werd hij genomineerd voor de Matthijs Vermeulenprijs. In 2021 componeerde hij Dwaalhuis, een kameropera om dementie voor kinderen en jongeren bespreekbaar te maken. Voor zijn composities in Mijs met de zwavelstokjes werd hij genomineerd voor de BUMA Music Award 2022.

A former BBC New Generation Artist, a recipient of a 2022 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, a Rising Star for the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and an ECHO Rising Star, Newby's career has taken off impressively. James Jolly met up with him earlier this week to talk about the new album. Gramophone Podcasts are given in association with Wigmore Hall.

Welkom terug bij een nieuwe aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek, dé podcastserie voor je dagelijkse momentje rust. Ook vandaag laat Ab je weer muziek horen in het thema 'Positiviteit'. En dat is In Beauty May I Walk, oftewel 'In schoonheid mag ik lopen' van Jonathan Dove. Dit muzikale gebed komt van origine van de Navajo, een Indianenvolk uit Noord-Amerika. De oorspronkelijke auteur van het gebed is onbekend. Er wordt gezegd dat het lezen van de woorden vrede en kalmte brengt. De tekst gaat namelijk over de schoonheid waarmee we alles in het leven kunnen doen. Volgens Ab klinkt de combinatie van de melodie met de tekst heel hoopvol en positief. Luister je mee?

In this episode of From the Producer's Office, James Clutton is joined by composer Jonathan Dove and broadcaster and bestselling author Simon Mayo to announce a new commission for 2023, the world premiere of an opera for young adults and families, Itch. The opera will be based on Simon Mayo's bestselling novels Itch and Itch Rocks, described as 'Breaking Bad for kids' by NPR in America. Itch explores the real life magic of the elements through an explosive adventure story that sees the young hero trying to outrun a vindictive teacher, a global corporation and a shadowy government agency in his quest to save the world. Simon, Jonathan, and James discuss how the commission came about, talk about the novel's plot and the inspirations behind it, and draw parallels between Itch and some other operas listeners might be familiar with. From the Producer's Office is a series of informal podcasts with Opera Holland Park's Director of Opera, James Clutton. In conversation with creatives and collaborators across the industry, we explore the process of putting opera on stage, and how the artists involved approach their craft.

There's lots of practical stuff here. We hear more examples of creativity in preaching, including first-person monologue, or dramatic preaching, as well as examples from Graham and Jonathan's own preaching.

Jonathan Dove is the Senior Pastor of Grace City Church in Aukland NZ. Speaking about Jeremiah 29 he says, “I don’t think there is a more significant verse or passage for me at this point in our history.” This is why he is leading his church to seek the welfare of Aukland and seeking to colaborate with other churches to do the same.
The Rev. Dr. Robert Allan Hill, Dean of Marsh Chapel, preaches a sermon entitled “Faith in Flesh and Bone.” The remainder of the recording is a re-broadcast from previous services.

We welcome Tucker Biddlecombe with the debut of Music In The Listening Place, a collection of choral works performed by the Vanderbilt University Chorale and conducted by Biddlecombe. Biddlecombe demonstrates masterful programming in his ability to curate a modern listening experience based on mostly classical texts. Of particular note is Three Songs of Faith, an elegant collection of settings of e.e. cummings texts by Eric Whitacre. In a similar vein are the delicate Trois Chansons of Maurice Ravel. A particular gem is Three Settings of Ezra Pound, composed by PARMA artist Michael Slayton. Eliza Gilkyson’s “Requiem” is unlike any other. Sweet and nostalgic, this hymn for the departed draws innocence from the youthful voices of the Chorale. Another highlight is David Dickau’s exquisite setting of If Music Be the Food of Love, through which the Chorale expresses remarkable balance and dynamic facility. Also included on the album are several text settings by composer Jonathan Dove; an arrangement of the traditional Indodana, as well as settings by Alf Houkum, Daniel Read, and James Mulholland. Truly, Biddlecombe captures the joy and sophistication of all things choral with this enchanting recording.

Michael Berkeley talks to the writer Ann Wroe about the inspiration and comfort she finds in music. Ann spends the first 36 hours of each week wrestling with the challenge of distilling the life of a person into just 1000 words – because, for nearly two decades, she has written the weekly obituary for The Economist. The rest of Ann’s week is spent wrestling with biography of an altogether different kind - because she finds the subjects for her books in the shadowy territory where history meets myth. She dares to mix intense scholarship with her own imagination to capture the essence of figures as varied as Perkin Warbeck, the pretender to the English throne; Pontius Pilate; and the mythical lyric poet Orpheus. Hilary Mantel has said of her: ‘She is a genius, because she lights up every subject she touches’. Ann tells Michael why she is attracted to such ambiguous subjects for her biographies and why she often chooses the quirky over the famous for her Economist obituaries – she’s written about the lives of firefighters, woodcarvers and even animals. Passionate about the natural world, Ann chooses piano music by Schubert that conjures up walks on the South Downs; Jonathan Dove’s Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars; and Frank Bridge’s The Sea, which takes her to her beloved Brighton. She talks movingly about her attitude towards death and what might come after it, and tells Michael why most of her music choices are ‘bittersweet’, including a song by Vaughan Williams to remember her late husband. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3

In repertoire encompassing George Frideric Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Egitto to Jonathan Dove’s Flight and beyond, countertenor John Holiday’s expressive and richly beautiful voice has made him an increasingly sought after artist, possessing a “vocal instrument that threatens to equal the name artists in his range.” (Herald Times) Mr. Holiday is the recipient of the Marian Anderson Award from The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Washington National Opera. As an advocate of new works, John Holiday will make his debut with Opera Philadelphia singing the role of John Blue in a world-premiere of Daniel Roumain's We Shall Not Be Moved, a production directed by the award-winning Bill T.

“I take things out of boxes, but need boxes to put them back in” A light dabble with a search engine on the subject of “tear bottles” will lead you to a world of assertions, often by online shops, about the historical use of “tear bottles” in the mourning rituals of Romans, Greeks and Victorians with stories of how tears were collected in small, stoppered, glass bottles as a sign of respect and grief. They’ve featured in opera designs and art installations and there are at least a couple of references to collected or collecting tears in the Bible including Psalm 56:8 where God is being addressed: Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? John Gill’s mid eighteenth century Exposition of Whole Bible unpicks this with another assertion about the “tear bottle” in the psalm being an allusion “to “lachrymatories”, or tear bottles, in which surviving relatives dropped their tears for their deceased friends, and buried them with their ashes, or in their urns; some of which tear bottles are still to be seen in the cabinets of the curious.” In other translations and versions it’s not a bottle into which God’s collecting tears but a wineskin. In others he’s just writing them down on his scroll. Nevertheless, the idea of the tear bottle remains a powerful one and a way of thinking about tears and emotion. One aspect of Clare Whistler’s residency was her interviews with academics and others at QMUL about tear-bottles. She asked people to imagine a receptacle for their tears and also to collect their tears in a small book. She created poems from their answers and I have used some of these poems in the podcast. I wanted to show how Clare’s project mixed the professional investigation with the more personal reflection. We also hear Jennifer Wallis, Chris Millard and Thomas Dixon, from the Centre for the History of Emotions talk about tears in their research: the internally liquefying inmates of a 19th Century Asylum; Neil Kessel’s social experiments in the 1960’s with sales of large quantities of aspirin to weeping women and Hogarth’s Enthusiasm Delineated. Alongside this, Paul Roberts, Head of the Roman Collections at the British Museum, shows me some beautiful, tear-shaped glass bottles from the British Museum’s stores and there are some specially commissioned musical tears created by the composer Jonathan Dove.

Die angelsächsische Oper hat es hierzulande traditionell schwer, insbesondere die komische. Woran das liegen mag, darüber kann man nur spekulieren. So wurde auch die komische Oper "Flight" des britischen Komponisten Jonathan Dove trotz großen Erfolgs erst einmal in Deutschland aufgeführt. Und nicht einmal in der Originalfassung. Daran will nun das Münchner Rundfunkorchester in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bayerischen Theaterakademie etwas ändern. Am 17. Februar 2017 hat "Flight" auf der Bühne des Münchner Prinzregententheaters Premiere.

Libby Purves meets illustrator and author Liz Pichon; pianist Melvyn Tan; travel writer Dan Richards and food writer Meera Sodha. Dan Richards is a travel writer. In his book Climbing Days, he is on the trail of his great-great aunt, Dorothy Pilley, a pioneering mountaineer of the early twentieth century. Using Dorothy's 1935 memoir Climbing Days as a guide, Dan begins to travel and climb across Europe, ending up at the serrate pinnacle of his aunt's climbing life, the mighty Dent Blanche in the high Alps of Valais. Climbing Days is published by Faber. Meera Sodha is a food writer and cook. In her book Fresh India she celebrates Indian vegetarian dishes. Many of the recipes were passed down through her family, her mother in particular who was brought up in Uganda but came to the UK after Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of the Asian minority in 1972. The recipes in Fresh India are inspired by Meera's childhood in Lincolnshire: by the rainbow chard that her aunt and uncle used to grow on their allotment, the cabbage that grew in fields behind her house and the mushrooms that were plentiful in her garden. Fresh India is published by Penguin. Melvyn Tan is British Singaporean-born pianist. To celebrate his 60th birthday this year he is exploring a new spectrum of compositions including a new score written for him by Jonathan Dove which he is including in his Cheltenham Music Festival recital. Born in Singapore, Melvyn came to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School at 12. In 1980 he made the decision to specialise in fortepiano and more recently began exploring works on the modern concert grand piano. Melvyn is performing at the Cheltenham Music Festival.
