Podcasts about lutoslawski

Michael Bates recently released an album titled Metamorphosis: Variations on Lutoskawski. This album contains Michael's arrangements and is based on arrangements of the composer Witold Lutoslawski, with music for clarinet, violin, bassoon, double bass, drums, plus string quartet. It's a hybrid of jazz, classical, and improvisation and is a wild ride of styles and textures. We talk about the genesis of this idea, what it was like traveling to Poland to record this album, plans or touring with this ensemble, future projects with the Lutoslawski quartet, and more. Check out the promo for this project on YouTube, give the album a listen on Spotify and Apple Music, and follow along with Michael's inspiring work on Instagram!   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us: all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Timestamps theme music by Eric Hochberg 00:00 Introduction and Album Promotion 00:08 Discussing Michael Bates' New Album 01:02 Catching Up with Michael Bates 01:16 Exploring Lutoslavsky's Music 04:03 The Making of the Album 09:55 Sponsor Shoutout: Carnegie Mellon University 12:05 Deep Dive into Lutoslavsky's Music 16:32 The Composing Process 22:51 Finding Inspiration in the Backyard 23:31 The Art of Balancing Work and Rest 24:19 The Challenges of Being an Early Riser in the Music Industry 25:19 The Ideal Environment for Writing Music 26:22 Drawing Inspiration from Ludo Slavsky 26:43 The Journey of Creating the Album 31:03 The Influence of Polish Musicians and Culture 34:25 Future Projects and Plans 36:48 The Role of Instruments in Music Creation 42:03 The Power of Podcasts in Connecting Musicians 42:52 Wrapping Up and Looking Forward

Throughout the history of Western Classical Music, folk music has imprinted itself as an invaluable resource for composers from all over the world. In fact, it's easier to make a list of composers who never used folk music in their compositions than it is to make a list of the composers who did! This tradition began long before the 20th century, but the work of composers like Bartok and a resurgence in the influence of nationalist music sparked a massive increase in composers using folk music throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. Bartok is thought of as the king of using folk music, as he was essentially the worlds first ethnomusicologist. But Stravinsky, who used dozens of uncredited folk tunes in his Rite of Spring, as well as Bernstein, Copland, Gershwin, Grainger, Vaughan Williams, Szymanowski, Dvorak, and so many others embraced folk music as an integral source for their music. This was in stark contrast to the second Viennese school composers like Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and post World War II composers like Stockhausen, Boulez, and others who deliberately turned their backs on folk music. One composer who straddled both worlds during their lifetime was the Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski, a brilliant composer whose career started out in the folk music realm, though not entirely by choice, and ended up in music of aleatory, a kind of controlled chaos! One of his first major works, the Concerto for Orchestra is the topic for today's show, and it is heavily influenced by folk music from start to finish. It is a piece also inspired and might even be a bit of an homage to the great Bela Bartok and his own Concerto for Orchestra, which was written just ten years earlier. Lutoslawski, if you're not familiar with him, is one of those composers that once you learn about him, you can't get enough of him. I'll take you through this brilliant and utterly unique piece today from start to finish. Join us!

Synopsis In 1960, composer and conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski emigrated from Poland to become the music director of the Minneapolis Symphony, as the Minnesota Orchestra was called in those days. In the decades that followed, Skrowaczewski, or “Stan” as his friends and admirers affectionately called him, became one of the most respected conductors of our time, famous for his interpretations of a wide range of repertory from Bruckner, Bartok and Stravinsky to the works of his Polish contemporaries, Lutoslawski and Pendereceki. Skrowaczewski was born in Lwow in 1923. He composed an orchestral overture at age 8, played a piano recital at age 11, and at 13 performed Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, conducting from the keyboard. His career as a budding piano virtuoso ended when his hands were injured by a collapsing brick wall during a World War II bombing near his home. After the war he won a French scholarship that enabled him to study composition with Nadia Boulanger and conducting with Paul Kletzki. His American debut occurred with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1958. Skrowaczewski's busy career as a conductor left little time to nuture his own talents as a composer, but even so he wrote a respectable number of chamber and orchestra works, including this one entitled “Passacaglia Immaginaria,” which received its premiere performance on today's date in 1996, at a Minnesota Orchestra concert. A few of his works have made their way onto recordings, including this recording of “Passacaglia Immaginaria” by the Saarbrucken Radio Symphony, conducted by Skrowaczewski himself.

Lutoslawski and Stravinsky - composers mentionedJoey Alexander - very young master jazz pianistWhat is audiation? https://giml.org/mlt/audiation/Partial Synthesis is the third skill in a sequence of traditional Music Learning Theory in which students are taught to recognize and identify sameness and difference between groups of patterns. See more in the book linked below.Learning Sequences in Music, by Edwin E. Gordon, is the "bible" for learning Music Learning Theory. MLT is a theory of how music is learned, including stages and types of audiation, Skill and Content Learning Sequence, and Learning Sequence Activities, put together in a formal structure to teach audiation in the way that children naturally learn to be musical. On the other hand, teaching note reading on the staff, a very typical music teaching method, violates MLT and the product of such is out-of-tune playing, poor expression, and a lack of rhythmic style. Technical instruction like this doesn't necessarily lead to audiation.Any music learning with contextual understanding that has ever happened in the world is a function of (small case) mlt. How people learn to audiate outside of the formal codification of  Gordon's theory of how music is learned.Contact us: teachmusictokids@gmail.com

El compositor argentino residente en los Estados Unidos, Christian Baldini nos presenta su nueva grabación en donde dirige obras de Varèse, Lutoslawski, Ligeti y Baldini.

« On Tour … Un titre évocateur, réminiscence d'un temps qui, depuis un an maintenant, s'est tu ; ce temps où les concerts ne se limitaient pas à de vagues souvenirs diffus, ceux du monde d'avant. « On Tour », c'est le dernier né du duo Paul Montag au piano et son ami et partenaire de jeu Raphaël Sévère à la clarinette, disque sur lequel souffle un vent de liberté ô combien salvateur en ces temps de confinement épisode 3. Une liberté que l'on retrouve sur le visuel de cette pochette comme dans le choix des œuvres, piqûre de rappel de leur programme donné outre-Atlantique, de Lutoslawski à Weiner, Bernstein ou encore cette magnifique pièce, « Entre les liens », signée Raphaël Sévère himself. Passé, entre autres, par l'enseignement de Marie-Josèphe Jude, Daria Hovora ou Christian Ivaldi, le sens du partage s'impose comme l'élément moteur de la carrière pianistique de Paul Montag dont le projet à venir avec la soprano Jeanne Gérard n'en sera à nouveau qu'une merveilleuse démonstration. Faites chauffer la Harley, on part en ballade !## # Votre titre...

Bien que les organisateurs de concerts classiques, au sens le plus littéral et restrictif du terme, limitent hélas quasi exclusivement la clarinette au seul et certes célébrissime concerto de Mozart, le jeune fer de lance français et virtuose de l'instrument, Raphaël Sévère, tente au mieux de mettre en lumière le merveilleux répertoire du XX e siècle qui, de Copland à Bernstein, Nielsen ou Lutoslawski ont su si brillamment rendre hommage à une clarinette trop souvent dans l'ombre. Depuis un an, considéré comme « non essentiel » aux yeux de nos instances gouvernementales qui imposent à la musique un silence moribond, Raphaël Sévère tire le signal d'alarme sur une situation qui laissera, en profondeur, des traces indélébiles sur un monde de la culture, grand oublié de cette crise pandémique.

Bo Lutoslawski (Poland / UK) over the past 40 years has photographed many of the greatest figures in the arts in Europe, spanning the worlds of music, literature, dance and theatre. Arriving in London from his native Poland in 1980, he was immediately absorbed into the capital’s fast-moving cultural scene, taking portraits of the likes of Glenda Jackson, Tom Stoppard, Bill Brandt, Philip King, Ernst Gombrich, Peter Hall, Tambimuttu, George Martin, Marina Warner,  Claes Oldenburg, Lucy Burge, Paloma Picasso, Helaine Blumenfeld, Richard Rogers, John Peel, Anthony Caro, Simon Callow, James Bonas on assignments for Vogue, The Independent, Newsweek, The Illustrated London News, BBC and Harper’s & Queen among others. His work, however, is not constrained by time or place. And it has absolutely nothing to do with fashion. Instead, it results from a moment of special affinity, a kind of spiritual kinship, between two different personalities – the photographer and sitter. Max Wykes-Jones in Arts Review said of Bo’s work, “Powerfully baroque and quintessentially Polish photographic images ….”  “For Bo Lutoslawski taking a portrait is like falling in love. His technique is near-telepathic inside into his subject, the way they move, the way they think - a fleeting attempt to catch their true identity. He never asks anyone to smile; and to his delight, they often do.” Sophie Grove, journalist Website   ---------- Make Monday Mine is hosted by Deborah Claire Procter and produced by Clear Insight Productions This is about conversations so we’d love to hear your thoughts and take-aways.  Email your questions and comments to: comments@makemondaymine.com If you enjoyed this episode then it would be wonderful if you can head over to Apple Podcasts and kindly leave us a rating, a review and subscribe! ----------

John Heiss teaches composition, flute, and music history at the New England Conservatory. I first encountered Mr. Heiss in his legendary Schoenberg/Stravinsky class at NEC and have been an admirer of his ever since. Mr. Heiss spearheaded visits to NEC from composers such as Milhaud, Messiaen, Stravinsky, Lutoslawski, and Ligeti, the subjects of today's conversation. You'll notice I don’t say much - today is like coming to class with a master teacher, an experience I'm so glad to be able to share with you.

The sensational young Korean pianist Sunwook Kim, acclaimed for his "ability to shift from fantasy to fireworks and back in a gasp" (The News, Portsmouth), makes his CSO debut with two vivacious works by Mendelssohn—the glittering Piano Concerto No. 1 and virtuosic Capriccio brillant. Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits, in his CSO subscription series debut, leads Lutoslawski's melodic, folklore-inspired Concerto for Orchestra.

Sarah Langford is a barrister; in her words, her job is “to represent the mad and the bad, the broken and the hopeful” – telling their stories in court. After thirteen years of practice, she decided to tell their stories in a book, too. In Your Defence was published last year and has had a huge impact. In it she tells the stories of eleven people she represented in both the criminal and family courts: harrowing stories of mothers whose babies are taken away at birth, teenagers caught up in addiction, a wife who’s abused, a boy whose parents fight over him for years. In Private Passions, she talks to Michael Berkeley about why she felt it was important to get these people’s stories into the public domain, at a time when the criminal justice system in Britain is facing overwhelming pressure. One of the challenges of the job is to decompress, after the emotions of a day fighting a case in court, and this is where listening to music is crucial. “When I was coming home on the train from court, I would often find myself wrestling with emotions about all that had happened that day. I had Bach’s cello suites on my phone playlist and would listen over and over whilst writing my attendance note and closing the case, both literally and mentally. The music helped me remove myself from the carriage and also gave me a way to feel contemplative about what had gone on.” Other choices include Lutoslawski, Messiaen, Paul Dukas, Benjamin Clementine, and choral music by Morten Lauridsen.

VIDEO: Jennifer Koh performs in the WQXR Café Somewhere along the way in her 20-some year career, Jennifer Koh jumped off the violin soloist treadmill in favor of less familiar paths and creative channels. She fashioned an ongoing recital series called “Bach and Beyond” that involves juxtapositions of Bach’s solo sonatas and partitas with contemporary works by composers like Phil Kline, Missy Mazzoli and Kaija Saariaho. She gives her New York Philharmonic subscription debut this week not with a beloved warhorse like the Tchaikovsky or Brahms Concerto but Lutoslawski’s Chain 2, a dark, knotty work composed for Anne-Sophie Mutter in 1984. And she has struck up a working relationship with the veteran theater and opera director Robert Wilson, which will expand this November in a staged version of Bach’s solo violin music in Paris. Koh came to know Wilson when she appeared in the title role in a new touring production of Einstein on the Beach, Philip Glass’s landmark opera that came to the Brooklyn Academy of Music in October. “I was quite scared going into the rehearsal process because I’ve never acted or done anything in that way,” Koh, 36, told Jeff Spurgeon. “I’ve never played a character. In fact, for me, performing and being a musician is about being more myself there than anywhere else in a sense and being more purely human. “I didn’t even know where stage right was. They were like, 'walk on to stage right' and I was like, 'which direction is this?’” In the five-hour opera, Koh doesn’t just perform Glass's churning "Knee Plays" but dons the full Einstein costume, complete with silver wig and mustache. Wilson's acting coaching made a strong impression on Koh. “In a way, I’ve been searching for a long time for this idea, [whether] doing 'Bach and Beyond,' or creating these projects," she said. "In the end it’s ‘how do you create an experience, and really create a journey for your audience?’ What Bob does with Einstein, with time, it changes your conception of that.” Koh’s career got off to a start more typical of a child prodigy: she made her debut with the Chicago Symphony at age 11, studied at Oberlin College in her teens, and took home a silver medal at the 1994 Tchaikovsky Competition, the latter while wearing a poofy green dress. But in recent years she's shown an increasingly adventurous streak, as the choice of the Lutoslawski for her Philharmonic debut suggests. "I believe it’s a great piece and it deserves to be heard more,” she said. “And more than that, the reason I’m happy to do it in New York is that so many of my composer colleagues and friends are in the city and there’s something about his music that is such an important voice that does need to be heard.” In the WQXR Café, Koh performs selections the final two movements of Ysaÿe's Sonata No. 2, a piece that she performed last year at an event for South Korea's First Lady Kim Yoon-ok, hosted by US First Lady Michelle Obama. “I remembered that I was so excited when I met her at the receiving line that I almost knocked over the first lady of Korea,” Koh recalled. "I just hopped towards Michelle Obama to give her a hug. Then I had to give my apologies to the first lady of Korea. She was very lovely.” Video: Amy Pearl; Sound: Ed Haber; Text & Production: Brian Wise; Interview Jeff Spurgeon

Conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen celebrates the music of Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski and his landmark work from the early 1960s, Jeux Venitiens. Writer Paul Griffiths explains how the composer used chance within the score to create rhythmic complexity; and we hear from Lutoslawski himself, in conversation with Thea Musgrave in 1973.
