Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har Barnet som tema. Idag hör du Albin Tanke som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Det lilla Jesusbarnet växer upp och snart undervisar han lärjungarna om barnets centrala plats som fördjupar vår förståelse om hur vi kan vara med och försöka bygga Guds rike tillsammans. Så här berättar evangelisten Markus: Folk kom till Jesus med barn för att han skulle röra vid dem. Men lärjungarna visade bort dem. När Jesus såg det blev han förargad och sade: »Låt barnen komma hit till mig och hindra dem inte: Guds rike tillhör sådana som de. Sannerligen, den som inte tar emot Guds rike som ett barn kommer aldrig dit in.« Och han tog dem i famnen, lade händerna på dem och välsignade dem.Radikaliteten i denna text är enorm. Jag blir så tagen när jag läser orden trots att jag har läst dem minst tusen gånger. Budskapet sägs i en tid, för nästan två tusen år sedan, då barnen kanske inte alltid räknandes med. Barnets plats för Gud verkar självklar. Det oförställda, genuina, spontana, autentiska – det är att leva sant, äkta och fritt. Lever vi så, är vi med och bygger ett gudsrike för varandra.Text:Mark 10:13-16Musik:Prague's Ballet av Marius Neset med Marius Neset, Leif Ove Andsnes och Louisa TuckProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har Helgon som tema. Idag hör du Albin Tanke som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur Andakten:”Att inte vara ett helgon precis” eller att ”inte vara Guds bästa barn”, kan vara sätt att beskriva när vi halkat snett och inte gjort rätt för oss. Men framför allt kanske det säger något om hur vår värld är beskaffad och det beskriver våra mänskliga villkor. Det uttrycker brist, att vi är indragna i en sprucken och ofullständig värld.För även den som inte är ett helgon precis, är ändå älskad av Gud till 100 %. Liksom vi alla är bristfälliga och underkastade synden, så är vi samtidigt genomälskade. Människan är Simul iustus et peccator som Martin Luther uttryckte det på latin och som betyder att människan på en och samma gång är både rättfärdig och syndare.Text:Gal 5:22Musik:Prague's Ballet av Marius Neset med Marius Neset, Leif Ove Andsnes och Louisa TuckProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har Sådd och skörd som tema. Idag hör du Albin Tanke som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Jag älskar att så, att påta i jorden – om det så bara är i köksfönstrets krukväxter… Att ta in mysteriet hur det pyttelilla fröet som göms i jorden, gror och växer, är helt fantastiskt. Sådd och skörd är djupt förbundna med varandra. Och det gäller inte bara sånt som jag sår i jorden, det gäller också hur jag önskar att mitt liv ska ta sig gestalt, vad jag vill investera i, och hur jag väljer. Det vi sår och tar hand om, vårdar om och vattnar – det växer. Det växer och sprider sig vidare. Att odla kulturer av välvilja ger värme långt utöver vad den som sådde kanske först avsåg? Därför kan det vara så väldigt viktigt att fundera över vad vi sår och vad vi vattnar i våra liv.Text:Kol 3:12-16Musik:Prague's Ballet av Marius Neset med Marius Neset, Leif Ove Andsnes och Louisa TuckProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har lättja som tema. Idag hör du Albin Tanke som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Att vägra ge sig själv en frist, att strunta i att vila och hoppa över att ta en välbehövlig paus – det kan vara ett utslag av den berömda lättjan. Att helt enkelt inte bry sig om mina grundläggande behov och slarva med det viktigaste. När jag blir likgiltig inför att ta hand om mig, skapelsen och andra, då har jag nog missat målet? Och det kan få långtgående konsekvenser som kanske inte alltid visar sig direkt, med som på sikt kan bli ödesdigra.Så – lättja handlar nog inte så mycket om gåvan och nåden att ibland bara kunna lata sig ordentligt. Utan lättja handlar om likgiltighet för omsorg, hälsa och omhändertagande.Text:Psaltaren 23:1–3Musik:Prague's Ballet av Marius Neset med Marius Neset, Leif Ove Andsnes och Louisa TuckProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har mannen som tema. Idag med Albin Tanke som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:För nästan två tusen år sedan försökte Paulus göra en viktig poäng när han talade till församlingen i Galatien. Om hur trons kraft tränger igenom lagen. Lagen som är viktig och som skyddar, men som inte ger liv såsom tron gör. ”Nu är ingen längre jude eller grek, slav eller fri, man eller kvinna. Alla är ni ett i Kristus Jesus.” står det i Galaterbrevet.På vilket sätt kan detta vara ett försök, utifrån den tidens sammanhang, att öppna för en människosyn större än genus - något som visar på människan som oavsett hur vi identifierar oss är gudalika med okränkbart värde? Att trons kraft kan förändra världen också i synen på varandra – hur vi kan få vara fria i varandras blickar. Hur vi genom relationer kan få växa som de människor vi är – de vi vill vara – och att vår tro kan bära oss vidare i vår utveckling?Text:Gal 3:28-29Musik:Prague's Ballet av Marius Neset med Marius Neset, Leif Ove Andsnes och Louisa TuckProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Andakterna den här veckan tar sin utgångspunkt i de fem världsreligionerna och har temat Hat. Idag med Albin Tanke, som utgår från sin kristna tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Att inte tycka om, att vara arg, eller uttrycka sin ilska, eller vad vi nu behöver uttrycka för att säga ifrån och sätta gränser – det är inte samma sak som hat. För hat, det är en bild av ondskan. Om jag uppfylls av hat behöver jag göra allt vad jag kan för att bryta med det, och försöka välja en annan väg i stället – kärlekens väg. Det är såklart lättare sagt än gjort många gånger, men lika viktigt för det. Att fastna i hat det kan få själen att förtvina.Hatet förblindar, stänger och förkrymper – och är orsak till så mycket av världens lidande, våld och krig. Jag tror att Gud såklart vill att jag ska kunna känna mina känslor, t. ex. ilska och vrede – de känslor som är till för att värna och upprätta – och försöka rikta dem till det goda.Jesus säger i Matteusevangeliet: Ni har hört att det blev sagt: Du skall älska din nästa och hata din fiende. Men jag säger er: älska era fiender och be för dem som förföljer er; då blir ni er himmelske faders söner. Ty han låter sin sol gå upp över onda och goda och låter det regna över rättfärdiga och orättfärdiga.

Kate Molleson is joined by South African cellist, singer and composer Abel Selaocoe with his cello in tow, as he prepares to tour this autumn with The Bantu Ensemble. Abel talks about the "swirling cultures" from which he takes his inspiration, whether it's the different church traditions in South Africa or the music of JS Bach, and he treats us to a live improvisation. Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes joins Kate for a walk on the windy slopes of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. With a new boxset featuring Leif Ove's recordings from 1990-2010 due out in October, he reflects on how his approach to music has changed over the years, why there are certain composers whose music he preserves for listening not performing, and how the natural world is at the heart of how he plays. And as the new school year gets underway, we visit Acland Burghley School in Camden, North London, where three years ago the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment moved in. The orchestra's Chief Executive Crispin Woodhead gives us a tour of the school and explains how students, teachers, orchestral musicians and the wider community benefit from the collaboration and how he believes this model answers many of the problems faced by the arts and by education right now.

Leif Ove Andsnes — Dvořák: Poetic Tone Pictures (Sony) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Leif Ove Andsnes by “It's similar to life with its highs and lows. That's what I love about this cycle. It's so contrasting and varied,” said Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, who recently fell in love with Antonín Dvořák's Poetic Tone Pictures. It's an ambitious and unusual cycle of piano pieces by the Czech composer featured on Andsnes' latest recording, Dvořák: Poetic Tone Pictures. “He has this reputation for not writing very well for the piano because he was not a pianist. He was a violinist and didn't own a piano until he was about 40,” he said about Dvořák. “It's strange. I've known these pieces since childhood because my father came home from London once and brought a bunch of his pieces. One of them was the cycle played by the Czech pianist Radoslav Kvapil. So I listened to these pieces when I was little, and I especially liked some of the first ones. I played some of them in a youth competition when I was 12. “I studied the whole cycle during the pandemic, and now I'll give the whole cycle a chance,” he said. “Let's see if Dvořák is right because he wrote in a letter to a friend that he thought one could only experience his real intentions about this music if one played the whole cycle, all the 13 pieces together. That's almost an hour of music. I do feel a difference. I feel it's a great journey when they are played together from beginning to end.” What pieces did you play at that competition? “I played the first piece, ‘The Night Journey,' which is also one of the more ambitious pieces and one of the more difficult ones.” What did you find challenging when revisiting the cycle? “It's a mixture of homecoming and challenging passages that exist. It's such a wonderful piece because it opens like a novel. It's saying, ‘I'm going to tell you a story.' It just opens this personal world to enjoy.” Can you give me an example of the range of unique colors in these pieces? “The second piece, ‘Toying,' is unassuming. It's full of surprisingly short staccato notes in the main section, with a conversation between the right and left hands. Then it has, in contrast, a very legato middle section. That means that the notes are bound together, and it's full of pedal. It feels like a brook or river you might find in Schubert's music. It's fluid with wonderfully beautiful bell-like colors.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

The 13 postcards for piano that make up Dvorák's Poetic Tone Pictures were written in the Spring of 1889, and signal a shift in style from a composer moving away from formal constructions towards a freer, inspired aesthetic. Among these charming pieces are evocations of magic and mystery (‘The Old Castle'), rustic dances (‘Furiant' and ‘Peasant Ballad'), nostalgic mood pieces (‘Twilight Way'), and tragic reminiscences (‘At a Hero's Grave'). The works range from the deeply profound to the playful, from lighthearted to furious - ‘I feel a very strong, wonderful narrative in them,' says Leif Ove Andsnes, who firmly believes Dvorák conceived the pieces of this ‘exceptional' set as a cycle to be played together.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Dvorak: Poetic Tone Pictures (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

WQED-FM's Jim Cunningham had a chance to talk with Leif Ove Andsnes about his new CD  "Mozart Momentum."  He also talks about his performances with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and more.      

Leif Ove Andsnes — Mozart Momentum: 1786 (Sony Classical) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Leif Ove Andsnes by “On stage you have to have a childlike openness,” Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes said. “There will be moments in concerts where I feel, ‘I'm creating now. It's actually happening in the moment.' Also, there is nothing as beautiful as Mozart's music.” Andsnes is an artistic partner of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble that has no home base. They're constantly moving because it wants to make music that gets to the core of things. Together, they've taken a deep dive in the creation of The Beethoven Journey, and now they're flowing in sync, with Andsnes conducting from the piano on his latest album, Mozart Momentum: 1786. What kind of momentum was Mozart creating? “It's about the piano concerto and what happened with that genre during Mozart's life. He writes a concerto in a minor key for the first time with very serious and dramatic music. He starts to separate the soloist from the orchestra. You have dramatic and restless music during the opening from the orchestra, but the soloist enters afterwards with completely different music. “That's the very first time this happens in any concerto. Mozart must have thought, ‘Oh, I'm on to something new here.' For me, it's a revolution. It expands the storytelling and the narrative of what a piano concerto can be. You can look at soloists as an individual and the orchestra as a society. There is new psychological drama in it.” How did Mozart's love of opera inspire his piano concertos that are on the album? “He was writing The Marriage of Figaro during this time and we hear it during the woodwind solos. He gives tremendous individuality and personality to each of the woodwind instruments. There are sections where I'm listening with pleasure to what they do in these concertos.” Can you talk about the energy in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24? “Normally we feel that it's very classical and balanced. The phrases are often eleven bars followed by five and then seven. He always makes sure we don't know what's coming next, so we have to guess. That guesswork gives the concerto its restless energy and drama.” Tell us about ‘Ch'io Mi Scordi Di Te?' and the soprano who sings it. “The concert aria ‘Ch'io Mi Scordi Di Te?' is text from Mozart's opera Idomeneo. It's unique how he makes the beauty of the soprano voice blend with the piano. It's like a duet. You know where one is without words and the other tells the story. There's no other piece like this in the literature. “ To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Everybody knows Mozart for his operas, symphonies and concert pieces, but not all know that he was a pioneer who fought for professional and artistic freedom. The composer is often considered the first musician who emancipated himself from the subordination of the feudal system and worked as a freelancer.  What did those freelance days look like? How did it influence his compositions during that time? Answer these and more questions by joining us in part three of Mozart Momentum: in conversation: A freelancer is born. Together with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and violinist Matthew Truscott, host Yannick Dondelinger digs into the archives to unravel the life of Mozart, the freelancer.   Thanks to the voice acting of Michiel Commandeur and Stephanie Baubin. // Generously supported by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media through "NEUSTART KULTUR".

In 2012, Andnses partnered with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra for an ambitious multi-year project titled “The Beethoven Journey,” performing all five piano concertos in 15 countries across three continents. Recently, Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra collaborated on their second multi-year project, “Mozart Momentum 1785/86,” exploring one of the most creative and productive periods of the composer's career.

Leif Ove Andsnes returns to Heinz Hall to play the Benjamin Britten Piano Concerto No. 1 in its first time out in Pittsburgh. He talks about the concerto, playing it at the BBC Proms in 2019, the Britten record Sviatoslav Richter made with the composer conducting, Richter's eccentricities, the new Mozart recording he's just released, and his switch to the Sony label after 35 CDs for EMI. He discusses the music of Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, which he will play on Saturday night in a special benefit concert at Heinz Hall.  Leif shares with Jim Cunningham his feelings about the conflict in Ukraine and he discusses his recent all Grieg songs recording with Lise Davidsen including a meditation on Spring at the end as especially evocative of the Nordic soul.  

Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes brings his “effortless command and penetrating clarity” (The New York Times) to Britten's Piano Concerto, a glittering score composed during the lead-up to World War II.
