Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de cine clásico y con el mentalista Toni Bright. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Toni Bright en el Día Internacional del Mago Terminamos la semana con magia. Entrevistamos al mentalista Toni Bright porque hoy, viernes 31 de enero, se celebra el Día Internacional del Mago. Una jornada para reconocer la profesión de estos artistas que con su talento nos hacen disfrutar con un sorprendente universo de fantasía. Se escogió esta fecha en concreto porque es el día en el que nació San Juan Bosco, el fundador de la congregación salesiana, educador y escritor italiano del siglo XIX que es patrón del cine, de las escuelas artesanales, de la imprenta, de la juventud y de los magos e ilusionistas, ya que él mismo tenía estas habilidades y las utilizaba en sus prédicas a los jóvenes. Existen diferentes disciplinas en este ámbito: entre las más conocidas se encuentran la magia de salón, con cartas, el ilusionismo, el escapismo y el mentalismo. Precisamente de este último tipo vamos a hablar, porque hoy nos acompaña uno de los mentalistas más destacados de España que, apasionado y comprometido con este arte, reivindica la autenticidad, la emoción, el factor humano y la pureza de los espectáculos en unos tiempos que empiezan a estar demasiado marcados por la tecnología. Sección de cine clásico Es sesión continua Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Nunca en domingo (Never on Sunday). Película greco-estadounidense de 1960, escrita, producida y dirigida por Jules Dassin y protagonizada por Melina Mercouri y por el propio Jules Dassin. Galardonada con un premio Óscar en 1961 por la mejor música y canción original (Manos Hatzidakis), y el premio a la mejor actriz en el Festival de cine de Cannes de 1960 a Melina Mercouri y Jeanne Moreau. En el puerto de El Pireo, en Grecia, vive Ilya (Melina Mercouri), una independiente y popular prostituta, de espíritu libre y generoso, tanto así que suele invitar a sus clientes a su casa los domingos, solo para agasajarlos con comida, bebida y música, gratis. En tanto, un solterón intelectual estadounidense de Connecticut, Homer Thrace (Jules Dassin) llega al puerto de visita, buscando las causas de la decadencia de la Grecia de Platón y Aristóteles. Cuando conoce a Ilya, y su forma de vida, saca por conclusión de que ella es el símbolo viviente de las causas de la decadencia, y se propone iniciar una campaña para "salvarla" mediante su educación, lo que le permitirá abandonar la prostitución y encontrar una vida mejor.

El nombre de Vangelis nos suena rápidamente al tema de “Carros de fuego” con el que ganaría el Oscar a la mejor banda sonora en 1981, pero este compositor y teclista griego estaba dedicado a la música desde bien niño, ya que tuvo su primer sintetizador y colaboró en varios grupos musicales tanto de jazz como de rock desde los 12 años. Cuando alcanzó cierta fama fuera de su país fue cuando formó parte del grupo Aphrodite’s child en el que se encargaba de las composiciones, arreglos y teclados, con Lucas Sideras en la batería y su primo Demis Roussos como vocalista y bajo. El grupo consiguió varios éxitos de ventas con temas como “It’s five o’clock” o “Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall”. Su capacidad creativa le llevó a combinar su trabajo dentro del grupo con la grabación de algunos discos en solitario y pronto a componer música para películas y documentales, aunque esa faceta ya la veremos en otro programa dedicado al compositor. En este programa vamos a centrarnos en los temas que han versionado grandes cantantes y que en algunos casos fueron escritos exprofeso por Vangelis para intérpretes de la talla de Montserrat Caballé, Irene Papas, Melina Mercouri, Milva, Mary Hopkin o Elaine Paige, aunque encontrareis alguna sorpresa como el poema “Itaca” de Kavafis narrado por Sean Connery, o el tema “State of Independence” que descubrió Quincy Jones entre la discografía de Vangelis con Jon Anderson y que decidió producirle una versión a Donna Summer en la que reunió un grupo coral de auténtico lujo, nada menos que con Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Brenda Russell, Christopher Cross, Dyan Cannon, James Ingram, Kenny Loggins, Peggy Lipton, Patti Austin, Michael McDonald y Stevie Wonder que tuvo gran éxito de ventas.

Melina Mercouri, c'est la dernière déesse grecque, disait d'elle Marguerite Duras. Actrice, chanteuse, elle a été une personnalité politique de la Grèce après la chute des colonels. Elle est successivement députée du Mouvement socialiste panhellénique pour Le Pirée en 1978 et ministre de la culture, de 1981 à 1989, puis de 1993 jusqu'à sa mort. Elle s'est battue notamment, mais sans succès, pour le retour des frises du Parthénon exposées au British Museum. Une réalisation de Nina Alexandraki. Photo : Belga Images

Maurice Fanon naît à Auneau en 1929. Son père est commerçant et sa mère directrice d'école. Son grand-père maternel, Octave Violette, dit « Octave le Rouge », lui transmet sa passion de la nature, des livres et de la Commune de Paris. Il est élève au lycée Marceau à Chartres, puis étudiant en philosophie et en anglais à l'université de Rennes. Il est ensuite professeur d'anglais, notamment à Vitry-sur-Seine2 puis au lycée Buffon. En 1952 il épouse en Écosse Margaret Charmers Buchan dont il divorce en 1956. À la recherche d'interprètes pour les chansons qu'il écrit il rencontre, en 1956, Georges Moustaki, Joël Holmès, Oswald d'Andréa et sa future femme, Pia Colombo, qu'il épouse en 1960, à son retour de la guerre d'Algérie, où il est envoyé entre 1957 et 1959 et où il affirme sa position hostile à la pacification en dénonçant la torture. Il s'essaie au roman, rapidement dissuadé par Jean-Paul Sartre. Il commence à interpréter lui-même ses chansons dans les cabarets de la « Rive gauche », à La Méthode, Chez Patachou, à L'École buissonnière, à La Colombe et au Port du salut où il commence sa carrière de chanteur en 1962 avec un engagement de deux ans. En 1963, il travaille avec Jacques Debronckart à la Chanson Galande, le cabaret de Jacqueline Dorian, où il perfectionne son métier, et signe un contrat de trois ans avec la firme de disques Odéon. Il écrit au moment de son divorce en 1963 d'avec Pia Colombo, qui demeure son égérie jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, l'un de ses titres les plus connus, L'Écharpe, titre fétiche qui lui vaut le prix de l'Académie Charles-Cros, chanté également par Pia Colombo et repris entre autres par Cora Vaucaire, Félix Leclerc, Hervé Vilard ou la chanteuse française RoBERT sur son album Princesse de rien en 1997. Sans concession pour le milieu du show-business, il assure sans conviction les premières parties de Bobino. Il participe cependant à un Palmarès en janvier 1968 où il obtient une médaille de bronze avec La Guerre, chanson ouvertement antimilitariste. Il voue une admiration sans borne à Léo Ferré, son Monsieur Léo de Hurlevent de 1970. Il divorce en 1971 de Brigitte Tranchant qu'il a épousée en 1964 et rencontre Françoise Wilcz qui sera sa dernière compagne. Il est invité au premier festival Sigma de Bordeaux consacré à la « chanson engagée » en 19725. Il fréquente le cabaret bordelais du peintre Raymond Nabos, « La Cour des miracles », où se côtoient Bernard Dimey, Bernard Lavilliers, Gérard Ansaloni, Gilles Elbaz... Il chante plusieurs fois en 1980-1981 au café-théâtre « Au Ruisseau » à Saint-Félicien (Ardèche). Il connaît une période difficile dans les années 1970 à la suite du blocage de ses droits par ses maisons de disques successives, CBS et Barclay, laquelle réédite cependant ses anciens titres dans les années 1980. Une tournée au Japon et ses prestations au Connétable lui apportent de nouveaux succès. En 1978 il écrit, toujours pour Pia Colombo, le spectacle donné au Théâtre de la Commune d'Aubervilliers, Requiem autour d'un temps présent et dont Gilbert Cascalès a écrit les musiques. Il chante jusqu'en 1980 dans les cabarets de la Rive gauche comme encore Les Frondeurs, Le Cheval d'or, le Milord l'Arsouille ou Le Connétable qu'il dirige avec Françoise Wilcz mais aussi au Gavroche, le cabaret « Rive droite » de Jo Attia. Maurice Fanon est l'exemple le plus typique de la catégorie des auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes, phénomène culturel né dans les années 1950 sur la Rive gauche faute d'interprètes disponibles pour chanter leurs créations donnant la primeur aux textes : « [son] piètre talent de chanteur (à ses débuts) est compensé par la présence, la passion, l'émotion et, bien sûr, les qualités littéraires et mélodiques de ses chansons. » « [il] incarne [...] l'amour des mots, des gens, un talent atypique qui n'atteindra jamais la lumière blanche des médias [...] » Son anticonformisme libertaire, sa tendance « anar-coco » revendiquée, son antimilitarisme affirmé, le tiennent en effet à l'écart du star système Il est chanté par nombre d'interprètes comme Isabelle Aubret, Melina Mercouri, Francesca Solleville, Jean Guidoni ou Joe Dassin, pour lesquels il écrit ou qui reprennent ses chansons. Juliette Gréco lui consacre un album complet chez Barclay en 1972 : Juliette Gréco chante Maurice Fanon. Il est aussi l'auteur de deux romans, Le Petit Turc et La Transparente. Pour Françoise Wilcz il écrit en 1990 cent poèmes d'amour inédits publiés à titre posthume en 2014 sous le titre Amours debout, amours couchées Il est hospitalisé à l'hôpital américain de Paris pour un cancer à l'estomac et meurt le 30 avril 1991. Crématisé au Père-Lachaise, ses cendres sont déposées dans le caveau familial du cimetière de Poiffonds à Lucé (Eure-et-Loir). « Le jour de l'enterrement, on demande à Juliette Gréco : « Pourquoi selon vous, madame, Maurice Fanon était moins célèbre en son pays qu'au pays du Soleil levant ? » La chanteuse retourne abruptement la question : « Qu'avez-vous fait, vous, les journalistes, pour qu'il n'en soit pas ainsi ? »

Melina Mercouri, famous actress turned politician, visited Britain in 1983 as Greek Minister of Culture and made the first official request for the return of the Parthenon marbles. The marbles were removed in 1801 by Lord Elgin, who was the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire at the time. Lord Elgin, who was based in Istanbul sent his agents to Athens to remove the marbles which he claimed were at risk of destruction. He later sold them to the British parliament who in turn entrusted them to the British Museum where they've been exhibited since 1832. This programme was first broadcast in 2019 (Photo: The Greek Minister for Culture, Melina Mercouri, inspects the Parthenon Marbles in the British Museum in May 1983)

Da domenica 31 gennaio 2021 a domenica 28 febbraio 2021La nostra ospite ha origini italo-canadesi, vive a Roma e ha cominciato prestissimo a suonare il pianoforte. Dopo 10 anni di musica classica, in piena adolescenza, decide di cambiare strada e scopre la passione per il canto. Nel 2001 Sara Jane Ceccarelli inizia ad esibirsi in duo con suo fratello Paolo, chitarrista e compositore, e dal 2007 lavora con il gruppo "Le Core", un quartetto vocale di sole donne. In quello stesso anno incontra Bruno De Franceschi, che stravolge completamente il suo approccio al canto e alla gestione del corpo e del palcoscenico. L'impatto è forte: dalla più semplice forma del "concerto musicale" passa ad interessarsi al "teatro musicale", ispirandosi a maestri come Ute Lemper, Milva, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Melina Mercouri. Nel 2012 inizia il suo percorso di studio e interpretazione di musica proveniente dalle culture più diverse: canta nelle lingue originali la morna capoverdiana, samba e choro brasiliani, il tango, canti popolari balcani, la chanson francese, classici italiani senza dimenticare il blues e il jazz, da cui proviene. Dal 2014 è impegnata con vari ensemble tra i quali la "Med Free Orkestra" e l'Orchestra Nazionale Jazz Giovani Talenti, ed è coinvolta nella stesura di vari progetti di teatro musicale, in particolare con David Riondino. A settembre 2016 è uscito il suo primo album da cantautrice, "Colors", e oggi è venuta a trovarci in compagnia del chitarrista Lorenzo De Angelis.

Nel 2001 Sara Jane Ceccarelli inizia ad esibirsi in duo con suo fratello Paolo, chitarrista e compositore, e dal 2007 lavora con il gruppo "Le Core", un quartetto vocale di sole donne. In quello stesso anno incontra Bruno De Franceschi, che stravolge completamente il suo approccio al canto e alla gestione del corpo e del palcoscenico. L'impatto è forte: dalla più semplice forma del "concerto musicale" passa ad interessarsi al "teatro musicale", ispirandosi a maestri come Ute Lemper, Milva, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Melina Mercouri. Nel 2012 inizia il suo percorso di studio e interpretazione di musica proveniente dalle culture più diverse: canta nelle lingue originali la morna capoverdiana, samba e choro brasiliani, il tango, canti popolari balcani, la chanson francese, classici italiani senza dimenticare il blues e il jazz, da cui proviene. Dal 2014 è impegnata con vari ensemble tra i quali la "Med Free Orkestra" e l'Orchestra Nazionale Jazz Giovani Talenti, ed è coinvolta nella stesura di vari progetti di teatro musicale, in particolare con David Riondino. A settembre 2016 è uscito il suo primo album da cantautrice, "Colors", e oggi è venuta a trovarci in compagnia del chitarrista Lorenzo De Angelis.

Some of the greatest singers in history are not necessarily the most vocally-gifted. This is the first of what I hope will be a series of episodes devoted to such artists. I consider singers across many genres: recitalists (Pierre Bernac, Madeleine Grey, Povla Frijsh, Jane Bathori), cabaret (Mabel Mercer, Noël Coward, Julie Wilson, Barbara, Lotte Lenya), musicals (Fred and Adele Astaire, Chita Rivera), pop music (Bob Dylan, Lou Reed), jazz (Billie Holiday, Alberta Hunter), actors (Audrey Hepburn, Melina Mercouri, Judi Dench, Hildegard Knef, Divine), and even comedians (Dody Goodman, Bourvil), with special focus on a few of the voiceless tenors who hold a special place in my heart (Hugues Cuenod, Karl Erb, Helmut Krebs, Julius Patzak). At the end, I feature two aging icons (Marlene Dietrich and Joséphine Baker) in unforgettable live performances of two protest songs that are painfully relevant at this moment in time. Composers include Alec Wilder, George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Franz Schubert, Stephen Sondheim, Francis Poulenc, Abel Meeropol, Claude Debussy, Kander and Ebb, Pete Seeger, Carl Orff, Manos Hadzidakis, Fats Waller, Maurice Ravel, and Rudolf Sieczyński. Please join me for this very special episode. But prepare yourselves for an emotional wallop. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. Please visit the Countermelody website (www.countermelodypodcast.com) for additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

Sie war das "Mädchen von Piräus" und für die blonde Schauspielerin Melina Mercouri war das Leben ein Fest: mit Bouzouki, Tanz, Gesang und zerschmetterten Gläsern. Als jedoch 1967 die Militärs in Griechenland putschten, verwandelte sich das Glamour-Girl in eine erbitterte Widerstandskämpferin, die weltweit zum Boykott der Junta aufrief. Autorin: Christiane Kopka

Skådespelerskan och politikern Melina Mercouri satte Grekland på en helt ny karta genom sitt passionerade engagemang för både kultur och politik. I år skulle hon ha fyllt 100. I veckans program djupdyker vi, tillsammans med poeten och psykoanalytikern Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson, ner i Melina Mercouris rökiga ciggröst. Vi pratar med Christina von Arbin, styreleseledarmot i den Svenska Parthenon-kommittén. Och så tittar vi närmare på den grekiska musikpionjären Lena Platonos. Veckans gäst är Alexandra Pascalidou, journalist och författare.

In 1961 Elizabeth Taylor won her first Academy Award for BUtterfield 8 or as Elizabeth referred to it: “piece of shit.” This movie was basically 2 hours of slut shaming Taylor because at the time she had an affair/had married Eddie Fisher aka Debbie Reynolds’ husband, aka Princess Leia’s Dad. Elizabeth Taylor was still under contract with MGM for one more film and she was forced to do this movie about a, well, classy-ish call girl (hooker) and what a lifestyle of sexuality would do to a woman (she dies). Taylor also almost died from an emergency tracheotomy leading up to the awards so she received a lot of sympathy votes. Shirley MacLaine was nominated that year for The Apartment and famously said she lost the Oscar to a tracheotomy. Also nominated that year was Melina Mercouri for Never on Sunday (another story about a hooker), Greer Garson as Eleanor Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello, and Deborah Kerr in The Sundowners. I found this to be a very tough year to select a winner! Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Bil Antoniou as they discuss.

Oggi con la rubrica Pionieri d’Europa incontriamo Melina Mercouri. Attrice di fama mondiale, schierata contro la dittatura dei colonnelli e ministra della cultura nella Grecia libera. Alessandra Sasso

Fille d’une famille bourgeoise athénienne, Melina Mercouri (1920-1994) s’est d’abord émancipée par le théâtre avant de devenir une actrice de cinéma en 1955, dans un film qui lui a donné une renommée internationale : Stella, de Michael Cacoyannis. Elle devient ensuite l’égérie de Jules Dassin, qui l'a fait notamment tourner dans Jamais le dimanche en 1960, avec lequel elle remporte le prix d’interprétation féminine à Cannes. Elle est également chanteuse et a été ministre de la Culture en Grèce après la dictature des colonels. Mais aussi : - Un entretien avec Carine Girac-Marinier, directrice du Département Dictionnaires et Encyclopédies chez Larousse.

The floor is lava. Oil wrestling. Turkish moustache wrangler. Actor’s insurance. The Wax and the Furious. Suction and tension. We play a game of “Stop! Thief!” then do some honorable mentions.

Melina Mercouri, famous actress turned politician, visited Britain in 1983 as Greek Minister of Culture and made the first official request for the return of the Parthenon marbles.The marbles were removed in 1801 by Lord Elgin, who was the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire at the time. Lord Elgin, who was based in Istanbul sent his agents to Athens to remove the marbles which he claimed were at risk of destruction. He later sold them to the British parliament who in turn entrusted them to the British Museum where they've been exhibited since 1832.

Story: Die US-amerikanischen Corporals Trower und Chase, Sergeant Craig sowie weitere US-Streitkräfte, die in England während des Zweiten Weltkriegs stationiert sind, werden für einen Kampfeinsatz nach Italien geschickt. Nachdem sie dort eine kleine Stadt eingenommen haben, findet GI Baker kurzzeitig Glück in den Armen der Einheimischen Maria, die seit mehreren Monaten keine Nachricht von ihrem im Krieg kämpfenden Ehemann erhalten hat. Daraufhin wird die Truppe nach Frankreich beordert, wo sich Craig nach der Landung in der Normandie auf eine Französin einlässt. Chase wird derweil von der wohlhabenden Magda umgarnt, die ihn dazu bringen möchte, die Armee zu verlassen, um ihr bei profitablen Schwarzmarktgeschäften zu helfen. Doch Chase kehrt an die Front zurück, wo er sich ein Bein verletzt, während sich in Belgien Trower in die opportunistische Violinistin Regine verliebt, die durch Nachtclubs tingelt, zeitweilig als Prostituierte arbeitet und Trower letztlich für einen anderen sitzen lässt. Weitere desillusionierende Kampfeinsätze und romantische Begegnungen folgen. Am Ende befindet sich Craig mit einer schweren Kopfverletzung im Krankenhaus, während Chase weiterhin an seiner Beinverletzung leidet. Trower lebt inzwischen in der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone Berlins, wo er mit der jungen Deutschen Helga zusammenlebt. Eines Abends gerät er dort mit einem betrunkenen sowjetischen Soldaten in Streit, der in einer Messerstecherei endet, bei der beide ums Leben kommen.

Vicky Pryce, the Greek born economist who attracted media headlines on her conviction for perverting the course of justice over speeding points incurred by her former husband, Chris Huhne, nominates Melina Mercouri as a great life at a time when Greece is facing huge economic and political pressures. The film star who achieved global fame became a much loved politician in her homeland. As Minister for Culture, she promoted Greece's cultural heritage and fought for the return of the Elgin Marbles. Some consider one her greatest achievements to be the founding of the European Capital of Culture; culture being in her eyes something as important as politics or money, if not more so. Producer: Maggie Ayre.

- Åk hem till Sverige och säg till Ingmar Bergman att du vill jobba med honom! Det sa Melina Mercouri till Arja Saijonmaa i Paris. Så blev det nu inte men det blev allt annat för superartisten Arja. Hon spelade Mozart på piano när hon var en blyg, nervös sjuårig flicka. Sångrösten hittade hon under ett förlösande år i USA. Det gav Arja Saijonmaa en kick som gjorde henne till fullblodsartist. Ska man räkna upp det Arja Saijonmaa gjort under sin långa karriär blir det en diger katalog. Mer än 30 skivalbum, konserter över hela världen, skådespelare på teatern och i filmer, FN-ambassadör, tv-profil. Mest känd är hon givetvis som förmedlare och uttolkare av Mikis Theodorakis musik men hon har också sjungit Bellman, Taube, Olrog, Olle Adolphson… Kerstin Berggren träffade Arja Saijonmaa i Umeå och de fann en gemensam nämnare – Georges Moustaki – en favorit från Frankrikevistelser  på 60-talet. Nyligen kom hon ut med ett nytt album- Dig har jag kär/Min svenska sångbok, där hon lyfter fram sina svenska  favoriter, bl a den ovanliga Taubevisan ” Damen i svart”. I Spotlight berättar hon också om den mycket speciella resa hon gjorde till pyramiderna i Egypten tillsammans med sin far.
