Spotlight auf Leonhard Baumgartner heißt es kommende Saison bei der Jeunesse. Mit dem Gewinn des Eurovision Young Musicians Wettbewerb der European Broadcasting Union hat sich der junge Wiener Geiger Leonhard Baumgartner letzten August einem internationalem Publikum vorgestellt. Damit tritt er auch in die Fußstapfen von Julian Rachlin oder Lydia Baich, die diesen Wettbewerb ebenfalls gewonnen haben. Für Furore sorgte zuletzt seine Weltersteinspielung von Mozarts neu entdeckter Serenade KV 648. Wir dürfen gespannt sein wie der junge Wiener Geiger Leonhard Baumgartner das Brahms Violinkonzert musizieren wird. Im kommenden Oktober musiziert er mit seinem Pantaleón Trio auch im Zyklus AnTasten im Ehrbar Saal Musik von Astor Piazzolla & Co.

- Penderecki jest dla mnie w pewnym sensie spadkobiercą Dymitra Szostakowicza. Jest wielkim, być może jednym z największych kompozytorów w historii muzyki - mówił w Dwójce skrzypek Julian Rachlin.

Julian Rachlin, enorm erfolgreicher Geiger, Dirigent, Professor und Festivalleiter. Geboren wird er 1974 in Litauen, zieht schon mit 3 Jahren nach Wien und entwickelt sich da mit ungeheurer Geschwindigkeit zum Geigenstar. Bald weiß er: Virtuosität ist nicht alles. Das Verständnis für die Musik reife erst mit der Zeit sagt Julian Rachlin, gleichzeitig müsse man offen bleiben für das Wesen der Musik, für den Moment, „weil es drauf ankommt, was zwischen den Noten steht."

- Muzyka jako taka jest balansowaniem między kameralistyką a kompozycjami symfonicznymi. W mojej filozofii każdy utwór jest dla mnie jak kwartet smyczkowy, w którym wszyscy muzycy nawzajem się słuchają i tworzą wspólną intymną atmosferę. Niezależnie od tego, jak obszerne dzieło wykonujemy, ta wspólnota to swego rodzaju muzyczny napęd - mówił na antenie Dwójki Julian Rachlin, austriacki skrzypek i dyrygent.

Today, I'm very excited to have the brilliant violinist, violist, and conductor Julian Rachlin on the show! At the end of this very busy week, playing with and conducting the Chicago Symphony, Julian graciously took the time to sit with me and discuss meticulous practicing, mindful music-making, and his deep love of the art form! He covers many topics, including studying with Boris Kuschnir and Mr. Kuschnir's thorough approach to mastering the instrument, his views on the lifelong path that is growing as an artist, his daily practice regimen, and how playing the viola and conducting have allowed him to explore music from different angles. Julian elaborates on: How he believes we are never done learning How the fact that his parents never made him practiced helped foster his deep love of music His daily practice regimen Why the responsibility to grow as an artist lies with the student How musicians are a community How playing the viola and conducting allow him to explore music from different angles Why we should brush our taste as often as we brush our teeth Finding the right balance between being completely open-minded and fully convinced (and when to be which)   MORE ABOUT JULIAN RACHLIN: Website: http://www.julianrachlin.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_Eyb3YAt3m7_ic4VTA84A Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/julianrachlin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianrachlin/ Elisabeth Gilels: Daily Exercises for the Violinist Boris Kuschnir: http://www.boriskuschnir.com/   Violinist, violist and conductor Julian Rachlin is one of the most exciting and respected musicians of our time.

James Bond, Simon Templar... Michael Berkeley's guest today can only be Roger Moore. He played Bond for twelve years, in seven films, more than any other actor. And before that he was a much-loved figure throughout the 1960s as The Saint. In fact he's rarely been off the big and small screens since he began his acting career in 1945, working as an extra alongside his idol Stewart Granger in Caesar and Cleopatra. What's less well known about Roger is his passion for music. He counts many musicians among his friends and has chosen music performed by two of them - Julian Rachlin and Janine Jansen, who reflect his passion for strings. His other great love is opera, and he entertains us with stories about music from his heroine Joan Sutherland, as well as La Traviata, a piece of music connected with one of his earlier film roles. And he shares the secret of how, after 86 years of mostly star-studded living, he?s managed to keep his feet on the ground. Producer: Jane Greenwood.

Violinist-turned-conductor Julian Rachlin is the Royal Northern Sinfonia's new Principal Guest Conductor, who believes "they qualify as one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world".
