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).

Nicola Campogrande"MiTo Settembre Musica"https://www.mitosettembremusica.it/itUn cartellone comune tra Torino e Milano che esplora le relazioni tra la musica e la luce attraverso grandi capolavori e creazioni inedite. 116 concerti per la sedicesima edizione, con ospiti internazionali, eccellenze nazionali e programmi appositamente impaginati per un Festival sempre più inclusivo. Seguendo il filo conduttore del tema “Luci”, tutti i programmi dei concerti sono impaginati appositamente per proporre al pubblico una nuova esperienza d'ascolto, indagando le relazioni tra la musica e la luce: si tratta di sinestesie tra suoni e immagini che a volte emergono esplicitamente dalle indicazioni scritte dal compositore in partitura, come chiaro, scuro o luminoso, e altre volte sono il frutto di riflessioni suggerite dall'ascolto della musica.«L'idea, il gioco della luce è applicato a un cartellone che, volutamente, propone molti capolavori, pagine fondamentali, capisaldi della musica classica – spiega il direttore artistico Nicola Campogrande. Perché, soprattutto in un periodo complicato e drammatico come quello che stiamo attraversando, ci sembra bello e importante fare una sorta di appello ai brani che hanno segnato la storia, invitandoli metaforicamente ad essere con noi, a manifestarsi in sala da concerto come punti fermi, appigli culturali».Questa edizione intende, quindi, “illuminare” le grandi pagine della storia della musica attraverso accostamenti inediti, interpretazioni originali e nuove chiavi di lettura, anche con brani in prima esecuzione.Alcuni dei pilastri su cui si fonda l'edizione 2022 – ovvero internazionalità, capisaldi della musica classica e novità – sono già evidenti nella serata d'apertura del Festival intitolata “Luci immaginarie”, in programma lunedì 5 settembre all'Auditorium “Giovanni Agnelli” del Lingotto di Torino e martedì 6 settembre al Teatro alla Scala di Milano. Protagonista una grande compagine rinomata nel mondo come la londinese Philharmonia Orchestra diretta per l'occasione da John Axelrod, che propone capolavori come Peer Gynt di Grieg e Shéhérazade di Rimskij-Korsakov, abbinate alla prima esecuzione italiana di The imagined forest della giovanissima e pluri-premiata compositrice inglese Grace-Evangeline Mason. O ancora nel concerto conclusivo tutto mozartiano dal titolo “Cristalli”, sabato 24 settembre al Conservatorio di Torino e domenica 25 settembre al Conservatorio di Milano, dove la Mahler Chamber Orchestra, formazione europea nata nel 1997 sotto l'egida di Claudio Abbado, presenta senza direttore un programma inusuale con Leif Ove Andsnes in veste di solista.Tra gli ulteriori appuntamenti sinfonici da non perdere si segnalano il graditissimo ritorno al Festival, nella doppia veste di direttrice d'orchestra e soprano, della canadese Barbara Hannigan, che sul podio dell'Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia propone la Sinfonia Il miracolo di Haydn e la Quarta Sinfonia di Mahler cantando nel Lied finale Das himmlische Leben (La vita celeste), il 16 al Teatro Dal Verme di Milano e il 17 all'Auditorium del Lingotto di Torino. Immancabile l'Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai, guidata dal suo Direttore ospite principale, lo statunitense di origini messicane Robert Trevino, che affianca la Symphonie Fantastique di Berlioz alla prima italiana di The wonder of life di Régis Campo, il 9 all'Auditorium Rai di Torino e il 10 al Conservatorio di Milano. Concerto festoso, poi, per celebrare i duecento anni di indipendenza del Brasile con i giovani dell'effervescente Neojiba Orchestra - Orchestra Giovanile dello Stato di Bahia, diretta da Ricardo Castro, insieme a un'istituzione del pianoforte come la portoghese Maria João Pires che suona il Terzo Concerto op. 37 di Beethoven. Ritmi, colori e strumenti sudamericani sono parte della serata grazie alle pagine di Antônio Carlos Gomez, Heitor Villa Lobos e Jamberê Cerqueira, il 13 al Conservatorio di Milano e il 14 all'Auditorium del Lingotto di Torino.Altri attesi ritorni al Festival sono la leggenda del pianoforte Ivo Pogorelich, impegnato nel recital “Luci erranti” con fantasie di Mozart, Chopin e Schumann e con il Prélude di Ravel, il raffinato tenore inglese Ian Bostridge, che canta Les illuminations op. 18 di Britten, e ancora il violista Nils Mönkemeyer, che suona con il Bach Consort Wien in un concerto che esplora il barocco e il Novecento tra Sudamerica ed Europa.Scorrendo il programma di MITO gli amanti della musica barocca, e in particolare di Johann Sebastian Bach, trovano una ricca offerta declinata in concerti con musicisti di prestigio e proposte nelle quali i brani sono accostati in modo inusuale o vengono ripensate alcune pietre miliari del repertorio. Quattro pagine tra le più celebri del grande compositore tedesco sono interpretate dall'Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra diretta da Ton Koopman, mentre è curioso il concerto intitolato “La doppia arte della fuga”, nel quale il compositore Reinhard Febel, col suo Diciotto studi sull'Arte della fuga di Bach, rilegge il capolavoro, di cui si ascoltano tutte le note, in una sorta di remix – che suona molto attuale nell'epoca del digitale – affidato al Duo Tal & Groethuysen. Ed è ancora l'ascolto di un Bach insolito quello delle Variazioni Goldberg eseguite dal fisarmonicista Samuele Telari, così come è un concerto davvero singolare quello con due clavicembali accordati in due modi diversi e suonati da Luca Guglielmi.Tanta è l'attenzione che quest'anno MITO SettembreMusica dedica al pubblico dei più piccoli, ampliando e arricchendo la proposta artistica con novità assolute e grandi interpreti. E lo dimostrano anche i tre melologhi per adulti e bambini che contengono ben due commissioni del Festival 2022 in prima esecuzione assoluta: quella a Carlo Boccadoro, che ha creato Animalia – su testi di Martino Gozzi – per “Luci bestiali” (il 10 a Torino e l'11 a Milano), e quella a Federico Gon, che ha composto Il piccolo Franz e il pifferaio magico per “Monelli” (il 24 a Torino e il 25 a Milano). Sul palco del primo concerto Laura Curino come voce recitante e l'Ensemble Cameristico dell'Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino diretto dallo stesso Boccadoro, e del secondo Elio come voce recitante (al suo ritorno dopo l'edizione dello scorso anno) e l'Orchestra degli allievi dei Conservatori di Torino e Milano diretti da Andreas Gies. Infine, i giovani de LaFil guidati da Marco Seco, con la voce recitante di Licia Maglietta, sono protagonisti dell'appuntamento dal titolo “Elefanti”, che propone un doppio Babar: quello celebre dell' Histoire de Babar le petit éléphant di Poulenc e quello del compositore François Narboni intitolato Le voyage de Babar, creato sfruttando un testo originale di Brunhoff non utilizzato da Poulenc (17 a Torino e 18 a Milano).È in prima esecuzione assoluta, inoltre, la nuova versione da camera del melologo Enoch Arden op. 38 di Richard Strauss realizzata da Ruggero Laganà, impegnato anche al pianoforte, che vede protagonista l'attrice Lella Costa come voce recitante (il 19 a Torino, il 20 Milano). Luce accesa, poi, sulle prime esecuzioni italiane, tra cui spiccano One di James MacMillan e I still dance di John Adams interpretate rispettivamente dall'Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali diretta da James Feddeck (l'8 a Torino e il 9 a Milano) e da quella del Teatro Regio di Torino guidata da Stanislav Kochanovsky (il 23 a Torino e il 24 a Milano), impegnate in due programmi tra Inghilterra e Scozia e tra Stati Uniti e Francia.L'edizione 2022 di MITO SettembreMusica introduce altre due importanti novità. La prima è la presenza di un festival nel festival con quattordici pianisti italiani che offrono in luoghi decentrati delle due città altrettanti concerti monografici dedicati a grandi compositori, per approfondirne la cifra stilistica, la poetica e la tecnica pianistica. Dal Beethoven di Andrea Lucchesini al Rachmaninov di Alessandro Taverna, dallo Schubert di Filippo Gorini allo Skrjabin di Mariangela Vacatello, passando per lo Chopin di Gloria Campaner, il Liszt di Maurizio Baglini e il Čajkovskij di Benedetto Lupo, solo per citarne alcuni. L'altra vede – per la prima volta – la nascita di una residenza artistica al Festival. Si tratta del finlandese Meta4 Quartet, già applaudito nella scorsa edizione, che tiene tre concerti in entrambi i capoluoghi: suona in Absolute Jest di John Adams insieme all'Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano (sul podio Patrick Fournillier), pagina che rimanda a Beethoven e alla sua Nona, in programma grazie alla partecipazione del Coro del Teatro Regio di Torino, dopo aver ripercorso l'intera storia del quartetto d'archi, da Boccherini ad Adams, in due diversi appuntamenti. Uno degli aspetti distintivi del Festival è offrire appuntamenti in orari diversi nell'arco dell'intera giornata, da quelli serali in sedi prestigiose, come l'Auditorium "Giovanni Agnelli" del Lingotto, il Teatro alla Scala, l'Auditorium Rai "Arturo Toscanini", il Teatro dal Verme e i rispettivi conservatori delle due città, a quelli diurni, per arrivare a estendersi nei luoghi decentrati. Sono confermate le introduzioni all'ascolto dei concerti, quest'anno curate da Alberto Brunero e Stefano Catucci a Torino e da Gaia Varon, Oreste Bossini e Nicola Pedone a Milano.I prezzi sono ancora una volta molto contenuti: quelli per i concerti serali vanno dai 10 ai 25 euro (ma chi è nato dal 2008 in poi paga solo 5 euro); quelli serali in luoghi decentrati con i 14 pianisti italiani, gli appuntamenti pomeridiani e per i bambini sono invece proposti a 5 euro; non mancano, poi, i concerti gratuiti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

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.

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.
