Der Pianist Yevgeny Sudbin stammt aus Russland, ist der Sohn zweier Pianisten, hat in Berlin und in London studiert, wo der 55-Jährige bis heute mit seiner Familie lebt. In Deutschland ist Sudbin vergleichsweise selten zu erleben und relativ wenig bekannt – was wundert, angesichts einer umfangreichen und preisgekrönten Diskographie. Darin widmet er sich oft Werken russischer Herkunft: Rachmaninow, Medtner – und Alexander Skrjabin. Bereits im Jahr 2007 hat Sudbin ein Solo-Album mit Musik von Skrjabin veröffentlicht, jetzt legt er eine weitere Aufnahme vor.

Sometimes Jay indulges in hyperbole—but the hyperbole is not far off. In this episode, he calls Dawn Upshaw’s 1989 recording of “No word from Tom” (Stravinsky) “just about the best thing ever.” You may well agree. He begins the episode with another “just about the best thing ever”: Leontyne Price in “Summertime” (Gershwin), live in Munich, 1968. Also on the menu are Mozart, Bridge, Medtner... Source

Forgotten Melodies No. 1 - Alla Reminiscenza - Medtner by Auckland Libraries
During a sabbatical visit to rural Bugry in 1919, Medtner rediscovered some of his melodic sketches written much earlier in his life. He then composed three cycles of Forgotten Melodies: sets of character pieces unified by common musical themes derived from these melodies, elaborated with his mature compositional technique and inspiration drawn from the rural surroundings.

La pianiste Lydia Jardon vient de faire paraître un disque consacré à trois sonates de Nicolaï Miaskovsky. Ce compositeur fut très proche de Prokofiev, sa musique évoque tantôt Scriabine, Medtner ou Rachmaninov mais revêt une très grande personnalité qui lui est propre. Lydia Jardon évoque cette musique avec passion. -- Générique de l'émission : Concert pour violon, piano et quatuor à cordes en ré majeur op. 21 (Sicilienne) de Ernest Chausson Par Itzhak Perlman, Jorge Bolet et le Juilliard String Quartet Mixage : Léo Sulmon

Mr. Hamelin begins the 19/20 season performing the Brahms Piano concerti with the Orchestre Métropolitain and Yannick Nézet-Séguin at Le Festival de Lanaudière, and the world premiere of Ryan Wigglesworth's piano concerto at the BBC Proms, led by the composer. Other summer appearances include recitals at the Schubertiade, Helsingborg Piano Festival, Mänttä Music Festival, Domaine Forget, Orford Music Festival, the Newport Music Festival, and at the Rosendal Chamber Music Festival with friend and regular collaborator, Leif Ove Andsnes. Recital appearances this season include a return to Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage on the Great Artists Series. He also performs at Wigmore Hall, the George Enescu Festival, Ascona (Switzerland), Prague, Munich, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Moscow State Philharmonic, at the Elbphilharmonie for the Husum Rarities of Piano Music Festival, Monte Carlo, and the Heidelberg Festival, among other dates. Mr. Hamelin is the inaugural guest curator for Portland Piano International, where he opens the season with two solo recitals. He returns to San Francisco Performances – a series with whom he has a long and deeply supportive artistic relationship – as a Perspectives Artist for their 40th Anniversary Season, performing a solo recital; Die Winterreise with tenor Mark Padmore; and the world premiere of his own Piano Quintet, commissioned by SFP and performed by himself and the Alexander String Quartet. An exclusive recording artist for Hyperion Records, in 19/20, Hyperion releases two albums by Mr. Hamelin – one a solo disc and the other with the Takács Quartet. He recently released a disc of Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-Flat Major and Four Impromptus; a landmark disc of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and Concerto for Two Pianos with Leif Ove Andsnes; Morton Feldman's For Bunita Marcus; and Medtner's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Vladimir Jurowski. His impressive Hyperion discography of more than 60 recordings includes concertos and works for solo piano by such composers as Alkan, Godowsky, and Medtner, as well as brilliantly received performances of Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, and Shostakovich. He was honored with the 2014 ECHO Klassik Instrumentalist of Year (Piano) and Disc of the Year by Diapason Magazine and Classica Magazine for his three-disc set of Busoni: Late Piano Music and an album of his own compositions, Hamelin: Études, which received a 2010 Grammy nomination and a first prize from the German Record Critics' Association. Mr. Hamelin was a distinguished member of the jury of the 15 th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2017 where each of the 30 competitors in the preliminary round performed Hamelin's Toccata on L'Homme armé; this was the first time the composer of the commissioned work was also a member of the jury. Mr. Hamelin has composed music throughout his career, with nearly 30 compositions to his name. The majority of those works – including the Études and Toccata on L'Homme armé – are published by Edition Peters. Mr. Hamelin makes his home in the Boston area with his wife, Cathy Fuller. Born in Montreal, Marc-André Hamelin is the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the German Record Critics' Association and has received seven Juno Awards and eleven GRAMMY nominations. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a Chevalier de l'Ordre du Québec, and a member of the Royal Society of Canada. If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!

Das Glück seiner späten Jahre verdankte Nikolai Medtner dem 25. Maharadscha von Mysore. Der musikbegeisterte indische Fürst gründete 1949 die "Medtner Society" und der alte Meister setzte sich nochmal ans Klavier, um eigene Stücke aufzunehmen - schwärmerische und sehr romantische Musik, die damals ganz aus der Zeit gefallen war. Autor: Michael Struck-Schloen

What does legacy code mean to you? Is it a valuable code that is hard to change or a code you are simply afraid to change; a code that makes you money or a code you are ashamed of? In today’s episode we deep dive into the quest for the most interesting and influential definitions of legacy code with Amitai Schleier. Amitai is true renaissance man - a software development coach, legacy code wrestler, consultant, non-award-winning musician and award-winning bad poet. Amitai regularly contributes code and direction to notable open-source projects such as NetBSD, pkgsrc, ikiwiki, and qmail. When you finish listening to this episode, you should check out Amitai’s micropodcast “Agile in 3 Minutes”, his articles on legacy code and other topics, and last, but not least, you should relax with his piano performance of Medtner at the International Rachmaninoff Conference.

At the close of the nineteenth century, Europe was teeming with apocalyptic dreams of destruction and renewal. In Nietzsche’s Orphans: Music, Metaphysics, and the Twilight of the Russian Empire (Yale University Press, 2015), Rebecca Mitchell traces how in late imperial Russia, music came to be seen as a transcendent force that offered salvation from the era’s atmosphere of decadence and decline. At the turn of the century, Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy became a major inspiration for cultural elites looking for a solution to the problems of modernity. Nietzsche’s Russian orphans adapted the adamantly amoral German writer to suit their context, combining his belief in the transformative power of music with the visions of Orthodox philosopher Vladimir Solovev. Russian music lovers launched a search for the national Orpheus, alternately advancing Aleksander Scriabin, Nikolai Medtner, and Sergei Rachmaninoff as the chosen one. These figures differed in their engagement with musical metaphysics. While Scriabin reveled in his role of prophet and endeavored to create a musical Mystery that would mark the end of history, Rachmaninoff largely avoided philosophical musings; in a conversation with the Medtner brothers, he preferred to discuss Italian pasta. Rachmaninoff’s mass popularity was met with disapproval by some of Nietzsche’s orphans, who thought that his melancholic works reveled in the problems of the age rather than solving them. Their dreams for national salvation through music disintegrated amidst the chaos of war and revolution, and major composers including Rachmaninoff emigrated. However, Mitchell argues that their ideas found new life in the Bolshevik state, the Russian diaspora, and the post-Soviet search for national identity.
