The mid-80's were a tough time for Elton John.  The singer and pianist who had been a stellar success in the 70's was deep in the clutches of drug addiction, and struggling to perform due to throat issues.  His studio album, "Leather Jackets" had failed to produce a single to reach the top 40.  It seemed that he was finding more controversy in the British tabloids than he was success in the music industry.In the midst of this, however, he produced a stellar live album.  Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was John's twenty-eighth official album release, focusing on some of the performers earlier hits.  In the last two months of 1986, Elton John did a series of concerts as a part of his tour of Australia and New Zealand which contained two sets.  The first set was a traditional concert with John and his 14-piece band.  The second set had the band backed by the 88-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with John dressed as Mozart in front of the grand piano.  The Live album captured this symphonic second set.The album was a success, hitting number 24 on the Billboard 200 and certifying gold by January 1988.This concert also marked a change.  It was the last in which Elton John appeared in his elaborate stage costumes.  He also underwent throat surgery in January 1987 which - while successful - permanently altered his voice.  His next few albums would be somewhat more successful, but he would sober up in the early 90's and release his highly successful "The One" album in 1992.Bruce presents this live symphonic hit for this week's podcast. Burn Down the MissionThis song is the concluding track of John's third album, "Tumbleweed Connection."  That was a concept album with the theme of Western Americana.  The lyrics  are a bit vague, but the story tells of a poor community oppressed by some kind of powerful force.  The singer has taken direct action to remedy the situation, and is defending his action of burning down the mission as the only way to defend his family.  Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest WordHailing from his "Blue Moves" studio album, this sad song is characterized by lyricist Bernie Taupin as "that whole idealistic feeling people get when they want to save something from dying when they basically know deep down inside that it is already dead."  Take Me to the PilotOriginally from John's self-titled second album, this song contains lyrics which both John and Taupin admit are nonsensical, but just contain words that sound good together.  Six of the 14 tracks on this live album are from Elton John's second album. Candle In the WindThis song from the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album was never released as a single in the US until it was released in this live version.  Taupin used Marilyn Monroe as an archetype of the famous artist cut down in the prime of life.  He was initially inspired by hearing Clive Davis using the phrase "candle in the wind" in tribute to Janis Joplin.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture SpaceballsMel Brooks is at it again, this time with his classic spoof on Star Wars.  May the Schwartz be with you! STAFF PICKS:Throwing It All Away by GenesisLynch kicks off the staff picks with this single from the Invisible Touch album that went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford wrote the song and lyrics.  The upbeat music is quite different from the melancholy lyrics about a love who is leaving the singer.Don't Let Me Die Young by Andy TaylorRob brings us a solo single from Duran Duran's guitarist.  The video for the song depicts at-risk youth engaged in dangerous activities at night from crime and cars to drugs.  Taylor's album "Thunder" came out in the midst of the hair metal band's height. This single also features Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols.Alone Again Or by The DamnedWayne features a cover song originally recorded in 1967 by the group Love.  The Damned began as a punk group, and moved to post-punk, somewhat goth rock over time.  Love was an inspiration for the Damned, which encouraged them to cover this song.  The horns give the track a Spanish feel.Housequake by PrinceBruce closes out the staff picks with a party song from the double album "Sign O' The Times."  It was the B-side for the single "U Got the Look."  Prince used pitch-shifted vocals to create a higher, more feminine voice for this track.  It was originally going to be on an androgynous alter persona album called "Camille" before it was folded into this double album.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:21st Century Common Man, Pt. 1 by Tangerine DreamThis jazz group closes out our podcast this week.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Pianist Jayson Gillham made international headlines last month after dedicating a performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) to journalists who have been killed in Gaza. The backlash from MSO was swift, resulting in Jayson's performance being pulled. The MSO later admitted it "made an error”, but maintains the concert was not an appropriate place to express personal views, and an external review into the MSO is now underway. In this episode of The Briefing, Antoinette Lattouf sits down with the pianist at the center of the headlines, to discuss what's happened since his performance and the legal battle he now faces as a result.  Headlines: Federal Government to ban social media for children Princess Kate ‘cancer free' Opposition at odds over whether to break up Qantas and Jetstar Apple introduces AI iPhone 16   Follow The Briefing:TikTok: @listnrnewsroomInstagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroomFacebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was plunged into turmoil last month after it cancelled the performance of a highly acclaimed pianist, who had made comments on stage about the war in Gaza. Artists within the orchestra protested. The director resigned. And Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett has been enlisted to conduct a review of what happened. Today, the journalist who broke the story - senior culture writer Kerrie O'Brien - takes us behind the news and delves into the age old question of whether art and politics should ever be separate. Correction: In this episode, we referred to composer Richard Wagner as a "Nazi sympathiser". Though Wagner was infamously known as Hitler's favourite composer and expressed anti-Semitic views, he died in 1883, long before the formation of the Nazis. We apologise for the error.

Music has a long history with political movements, but recently the question of whether it should be disconnected from politics has been raised yet again. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra made the controversial decision to cancel pianist Jayson Gillham's concerts, following his dedication of the piece, titled Witness and composed by Connor D'Netto, to the journalists in Gaza. We caught up with A/Prof Paul Smith and Dr Marty Branagan to discuss the relationship between music and political movements, and non-violent protests.

fWotD Episode 2491: Blood on the Floor (Turnage) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 29 February 2024 is Blood on the Floor (Turnage).Blood on the Floor is a suite in nine movements composed for orchestra and jazz trio by Mark-Anthony Turnage. It was composed over a span of three years (1993–1996) after a commission from the Ensemble Modern—a German music group—to produce a piece for an evening jazz event in 1994. After the performance, Turnage expanded the piece into the larger nine movement suite that is now performed. During this period of composition, Turnage's brother Andrew died of a drug overdose, shaping the music greatly. As a result, drug culture is one of the main themes in the suite. Blood on the Floor also draws influences from the paintings of Francis Bacon and Heather Betts; the suite's title is an adaptation of Bacon's painting Blood on Pavement.Like other compositions by Turnage, Blood on the Floor incorporates elements of both classical and jazz music. Due to this, it has been described as being part of the "third stream" genre, a term coined by Turnage's former teacher Gunther Schuller. The suite is written as a concerto grosso and features a blend of classical, jazz, non-western and electronic instruments. As part of this fusion, the suite contains space for soloists to improvise in four of its movements. Blood on the Floor shows elements of non-functional harmony and has complex rhythmic changes, often changing metre every bar. Motifs are found recurring throughout the suite. Blood on the Floor was premiered by the Ensemble Modern at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, in May 1996. The suite received a mixed reception from music critics. Some enjoyed the suite's fusion of classical and jazz music, while others found it to be an unfulfilling combination. Outside of the Ensemble Modern, Blood on the Floor has been performed by various ensembles, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Boston Symphony Orchestra.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Thursday, 29 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Blood on the Floor (Turnage) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kimberly Standard.

It aligns with her live tour with the Melb Symphony Orchestra and other feature dates many of which are already sold out  Kate is quite simply, one of the country's most celebrated voices and songwriters. A force of nature and huge personality! I remember first meeting this beautiful talented hilarious woman back the 80s when she was playing in the main room and I was performing in the piano bar at the renowned “Underground” nightclub then owned by Tottie Goldsmiths father Brian. It was a blast and she was always a standout. We often joke we've had parallel lives in some way .. I went onto be a journalist for the Melbourne Age with Kate being one of my first cover stories with a huge double page spread I actually had framed I was so thrilled.Meanwhile Kate toured the country and sang her heart heart and 40 years later she's still doing what she does best!She was always warm, and creative and we have fond memories of those wonderful years in Melbournes Kings St nightclub district then a hub for so many young inspiring talented artists like Kate and Jon Stevens both of whom went on to star in the stunning production of Jesus Christ Superstar with the legendary John Farnham -I think I saw it 5 times.Her famous rendition of “I don't know how to love him “ still makes me cry ..So I'm very excited to have her join me on the what I've learnt podcast Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

Rencontre avec le chef d'orchestre Fabien Gabel qui est en Australie pour des concerts avec le Melbourne Symphony Orchestra et avec le West Australian Symphony Orchestra en ce mois de juin et de juillet.

Welcome to Bittersweet Symphony, a podcast about the bitter, sweet and bittersweet memories and experiences of classical musicians during the pandemic. Hosted and produced by me, Cliodhna Ryan, a violinist, it's an intimate and heart-warming exploration of the human spirit. My guest in episode fourteen is Elaine Clark, violinist and co-leader of the National Symphony Orchestra in Ireland. Her bitter experience is the almost physical ache she felt due to the prolonged separation from her mother in Aberdeen. Her sweet was performing a live stream of Beethoven's String Quartet Op.131 on the stage of the National Concert Hall. On stage, at that moment, she felt “This is where I am meant to be!”. Her bittersweet was also the live streaming experience. While she loved playing and being back with her colleagues, the distance, the difficulty in communication, and the lack of an audience inhibited true, meaningful connection. Born in Aberdeen, Elaine studied with David Takeno at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where she won several awards and prizes. After graduating with a First Class Honours Degree, she continued her studies with Viktor Liberman at the Utrecht Conservatory in the Netherlands. Since 1996, when she was appointed Co-Leader of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, Elaine has made Dublin her home. She is a regular soloist with the NSO, most recently in performances of Bach Double Concerto and Deirdre Gribbens's Venus Blazing as well as performing as soloist in John Williams ‘Fiddler on the Roof' Suite in the presence of President Michael D, Higgins. She has also led many orchestras both home and abroad, including RTE Concert Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.' Elaine has a deep love of chamber music and has been able to nourish this by being a member of the Ficino Ensemble, Ficino Quartet and Clarion Horn Trio, as well as performing numerous freelance chamber music concerts. She has also travelled extensively with the contemporary music ensemble Concorde and performed numerous world premieres. She has given masterclasses at Royal Irish Academy of Music, University of Limerick and Cork School of Music and sits on the board of UCD Symphony Orchestra. This interview was recorded in September 2021.

Jaime Martín is definitely a conductor who is going places! Along with his titled positions in Sweden, Spain, Eire, and the US, since we recorded this interview, he has been appointed the next Chief Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra starting in 2022. I discovered why he stayed as a student in The Hague for as long as possible, which conductor seemingly never gave any upbeats, and he is the first person to "politely decline" to answer one of the ten questions at the end!

The Kousins talk about the symphonic KISS live album, "Symphony- Alive IV." It is the curtain call for Peter in the band, even though it was his third pass through. At times it is bombastic, subtle, cool. There are a few tunes that we hadn't gotten live either in a while or ever. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Children's Choir helped fill the aural plane. A decent live album, but where did it rank with the Kousins? Call the TLDNetwork hotline and leave a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862). This podcast was recorded in The Less Desirables Studio South and recorded via Zoom, sponsored by Bull's Tavern in WSNC.
