Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Our reflection opens as St Bride's Choir sings the eight-part motet "For he shall give his angels charge over thee" from Mendelssohn's great oratorio Elijah. In our reading we hear the parable of the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus. Alison goes on to reflect on this and our attitudes towards money in our journeys of faith. We close with the hymn "Immortal, invisible, God only wise" to the Welsh tune St Denio with text by the Scottish pastor Walter Smith.

Since posting a tribute to German heldentenor Ernst Kozub last year, I have continued combing through both his live and studio output and I have concluded that his work in Verdi is at least as good as his work in Wagner. And that's saying something! I have a wonderful setlist here which features the great Heldentenor singing everything from the lyric tenor parts of Alfredo in La Traviata and the Duke (or should I say the Herzog?!) in Rigoletto to the dramatic roles of Manrico in Der Troubadour, Radames in Aida and the title role of Otello. Between these two extremes, arias from Luisa Miller, Macbeth, and Ein Maskenball ring out with vigor and even some occasional subtlety! Excerpts from live performances of Don Carlos and La forza del destino (the only Verdi heard here in Italian) from the stage of the Hamburg Opera (where Kozub was fest between 1962 and his premature death in 1971) are a special treat, especially with in duet with phenomenal (though nearly forgotten) colleagues Norman Mittelmann, Vladimir Ruždjak, and Edith Lang (who will be featured next week in an upcoming episode). Legendary German stars Rita Streich and Franz Crass are also heard opposite Kozub in the recording studio. The episode opens with George London singing an excerpt from Mendelssohn's Elias under the baton of the late Christoph von Dohnányi, who died over the weekend two days before his 96th birthday. 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 author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Sein Urururgroßvater war Moses Mendelssohn, der Großvater von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Niklas Schmidt konnte als Musiker also gar nicht anders, als sich mit diesem Namen und der Musik Mendelssohn Bartholdys zu beschäftigen. Auch Schmidt ist in Hamburg geboren, Felix Mendelssohn ging dann nach Berlin, Düsseldorf und Leipzig, und Schmidt ist mit seinem Cello durch die ganze Welt gereist, gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den gefragtesten Cellisten und Kammermusikern. In Hamburg kommen beide Künstler immer wieder zusammen, beim International Mendelssohn Festival, dessen Künstlerischer Leiter Schmidt ebenfalls ist. In diesem September gibt es wieder zehn Tage lang Kammermusik mit Werken vom Barock bis ins 20. Jahrhundert - Musik von Komponisten, die Mendelssohn beeinflusst haben oder die er beeinflusst hat; Musik, wie sie in den Salons der Zeit erklungen ist oder sein könnte. Eine besondere Rolle spielen dabei die großen Klaviervirtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts, allen voran Frédéric Chopin und Franz Liszt. Im "Salonkonzert" zur Eröffnung des Festivals am 10. September kann man beide von einer weniger bekannten Seite erleben.

Für seine kreativen Ideen ist Niklas Liepe längst bekannt. Mit zurückliegenden Projekten wie dem Paganini-Projekt oder den #GoldbergReflections hat er international glänzende Rezensionen erhalten. In Göttingen geboren, in Braunschweig und Hannover aufgewachsen, ist er der NDR Radiophilharmonie engstens verbunden. Also hat er die Arbeit fortgesetzt und sein neues Album wieder mit dem Orchester aufgenommen. Mit dem Titel "Händel - Mendelssohn" verbindet Liepe Mendelssohns Violinkonzert e-Moll mit neuen Variationen bekannter Melodien Händels. Immer sind seine CD-Produktionen aufwendig und überraschend mit oft unerwarteten musikalischen Brückenschlägen. So hat er 2024 für ein Projekt die britische Komponistin und Oscar-Preisträgerin Rachel Portman gewinnen können. Ein Großprojekt, in dem er künstlerisch Stellung zum Thema Klimawandel bezieht. Rachel Portmans Violinkonzert "Tipping Points" - Kipppunkte - wird dabei kombiniert mit Vivaldis "Vier Jahreszeiten". Bei seinem aktuellen Projekt "Händel - Mendelssohn" sind wieder verschiedene Komponisten und Arrangeure beteiligt, darunter Tim Allhoff, Aleksey Igudesman und Florian Christl. In NDR Kultur à la carte spricht er mit Beate Scheibe über Ideen, virtuose Klangfarben und das Projekt alte Musik neu zu deuten.

Seit Sigmund Freud heißt ein Komplex nach dem antiken König und Vatermörder, der seine eigene Mutter geheiratet hat. Auf die Opernbühne haben es Vertonungen der beiden Ödipus-Tragödien des Sophokles selten geschafft. Umso erstaunlicher ist der inhaltliche Reichtum der unterschiedlichen musikalischen Bearbeitungen. Der Bogen spannt sich von Rossini und Mendelssohn bis George Enescu und Carl Orff.

Interpreten: Anna ReichertLabel: Prospero ClassicalEAN: 4262353970638Johann Carl Eschmann – ein Name, der selbst eingefleischten Klassikliebhabern kaum geläufig sein dürfte. Und doch war der Schweizer Komponist ein hochgeschätzter Zeitgenosse von Mendelssohn und Brahms, letzterer empfahl ihn sogar persönlich seinem Verleger. Klaviermusik aus seiner Feder gibt es auf der jüngsten CD der Pianistin Anna Reichert kennenzulernen, die auch heute wieder Michael Gmasz näher vorstellt.Geboren in Winterthur, stammte Johann Carl Eschmann aus einer musikalischen Familie. Studiert hat er am renommierten Leipziger Konservatorium, unter anderem bei Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy und Ignaz Moscheles. Darüber hinaus pflegte Eschmann enge Kontakte zu bedeutenden Musikern seiner Zeit – darunter Richard Wagner, der ihm eine Serenade widmete, und Johannes Brahms, der ihn geschätzt und sogar seinem Verleger Simrock empfohlen hat. Und doch ist es ihm ähnlich ergangen, wie so vielen anderen auch. Er ist mehr oder weniger in Vergessenheit geraten. Seine Musik? Fein ziseliert, lyrisch, zurückhaltend – beeinflusst von Robert Schumann und seinem Lehrer Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Seiner Wiederentdeckung hat sich nun die junge Schweizer Pianistin Anna Reichert verschrieben.Auf ihrem neuen Album „Licht und Schatten“ präsentiert Reichert eine Auswahl von Eschmanns Klavierwerken. Und das tut sie mit einer Hingabe, die berührt: charmant, nuancenreich, mit spürbarer Vertrautheit zur Musik. Jeder Ton wirkt durchdacht, jeder Phrasierungsbogen liebevoll gestaltet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Suite Licht und Schatten op. 62, die mit poetischen Titeln wie Sommernacht in der Veranda (am Zürichersee), Durch Wald und Flur oder Phantome eine fast bildhafte Klangwelt eröffnet. Auch die Werke aus den Zyklen Grillenfang, Trösteinsamkeit und Frühlingsblüten zeigen Eschmanns Gespür für Stimmungen und musikalische Miniaturen. Ihre intensive Beschäftigung mit ihrem Landsmann Eschmann drückt Anna Reichert auch im selbstverfassten Beihefttext aus, in dem sie uns den Komponisten auch persönlich ein wenig näherbringt. Wer also Lust hat, einen Komponisten neu zu entdecken, der einst von den Großen geschätzt wurde, sollte unbedingt reinhören. (mg)

This Day in Legal History: Federal Housing AdministrationOn June 27, 1934, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created through the National Housing Act, marking a major shift in the federal government's role in the housing market. The FHA was designed to address the housing crisis of the Great Depression, when foreclosures were rampant and private lenders were reluctant to issue long-term mortgages. By insuring loans made by private lenders, the FHA significantly reduced the risk of default, making it easier and more affordable for Americans to buy homes.The FHA introduced standardized, amortized 20- and 30-year mortgages—innovations that quickly became industry norms. These reforms expanded access to home financing for middle-class families and jump-started suburban development. However, the agency's early policies also entrenched racial segregation through redlining, where predominantly Black neighborhoods were systematically denied FHA-backed loans.While the FHA has since evolved and is now part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), its legacy is a mix of increased homeownership and the deepening of racial disparities in wealth and housing. The legal framework it helped establish continues to shape U.S. housing policy today, making it a pivotal moment in both real estate law and civil rights history. Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy voiced alarm over the state of American political discourse during a recent international judicial forum, warning that the tone of current debates poses a threat to democracy and freedom. Speaking without directly referencing President Trump, Kennedy criticized the rise of identity politics and emphasized that civil discourse should be about issues, not partisan affiliations. He argued that judges are essential to a functioning democracy and must be protected—both physically and in terms of public respect.Other speakers, including South African jurist Richard Goldstone and U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, echoed Kennedy's concerns. Goldstone condemned personal attacks on judges who ruled against the current administration, while Salas highlighted the growing danger judges face, referencing her own experience with targeted violence and the record-high levels of threats now being reported in the U.S.The event underscored a growing consensus among jurists worldwide: that political attacks on the judiciary undermine democratic institutions and risk eroding the rule of law.Retired US Supreme Court Justice Kennedy warns 'freedom is at risk' | ReutersA federal judge has rejected a joint attempt by Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to finalize a reduced settlement in their long-running legal battle over unregistered XRP token sales. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres criticized both parties for proposing a $50 million fine in lieu of a previously imposed $125 million penalty and for attempting to nullify a permanent injunction she had ordered.Judge Torres ruled in 2023 that Ripple's public XRP sales weren't securities, but $728 million in sales to institutional investors violated federal securities laws. While both sides appealed, they later proposed to settle—if the court would cancel the injunction and approve the reduced fine. Torres refused, stating they lacked authority to override a court's final judgment involving a violation of congressional statute.She emphasized that exceptional circumstances justifying the request were not present and that vacating a permanent injunction would undermine the public interest and the administration of justice. The SEC and Ripple still have the option to continue their appeals or drop them entirely.The case is notable amid a broader shift under President Trump's second term, during which the SEC has dropped several high-profile crypto enforcement actions. XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market value.SEC, Ripple wants to settle crypto lawsuit, but US judge rebuffs them | ReutersThe Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with its plan to end automatic birthright citizenship by narrowing the scope of judicial injunctions. Previously, lower courts had issued nationwide injunctions blocking the policy, but the Court ruled these injunctions should apply only to the parties involved in the lawsuits. This means that the policy can now proceed in most states, except those like New Hampshire where separate legal challenges remain in effect. The Court's decision followed ideological lines, with the conservative majority backing the administration and liberal justices dissenting. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, emphasized that courts must not overreach their authority even when they find executive actions unlawful. In contrast, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the ruling could erode the rule of law by allowing inconsistent application of federal policy across states.The ruling does not address the constitutionality of ending birthright citizenship, leaving that question open for future litigation. The Trump administration's executive order, issued on January 20, 2025, reinterprets the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause to exclude children born in the U.S. to non-citizen or non-resident parents. This reinterpretation challenges the longstanding understanding established by the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which confirmed that nearly all individuals born on U.S. soil are citizens. The administration has argued that judges lack the authority to impose broad injunctions and that states challenging the policy lack standing. While the policy remains blocked in certain jurisdictions, the administration can now continue planning for its implementation and potentially face a patchwork of future legal challenges.Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship planIn a piece I wrote for Forbes yesterday, the Trump administration briefly floated Section 899, a provision dubbed the “revenge tax,” as a retaliatory measure against countries imposing taxes deemed discriminatory toward U.S. companies—particularly tech giants. This measure, hidden within the broader One Big Beautiful Bill Act, proposed punitive tax increases on income earned in the U.S. by individuals and entities linked to “discriminatory foreign countries.” The policy was a response to international developments like the OECD's Pillar 2 framework and digital services taxes (DSTs), which the U.S. perceived as disproportionately targeting American firms.Section 899 would have enabled the Treasury to impose annual 5% tax hikes on everything from dividends to real estate gains, even overriding exemptions for sovereign wealth funds. What made the provision particularly aggressive was its vague triggering criteria—any foreign tax Treasury considered “unfair” could activate the penalties, without congressional oversight.Despite its bold intent, Section 899 was ultimately abandoned. It generated concern among investors and foreign governments alike, with critics warning it would destabilize capital markets and act as an unofficial sanctions regime. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent eventually signaled its withdrawal, citing improved diplomatic relations. Though shelved for now, the idea may resurface if international tax disputes escalate.Section 899—The ‘Revenge Tax' That Didn't SurviveA double dose of me this week, another piece I wrote for Forbes:The Pro Codes Act, currently before Congress as H.R.4072, poses a serious threat to public access to the law by allowing private organizations to retain copyright over technical standards—even after those standards are incorporated by reference into statutes and regulations. Although pitched as a transparency measure, the bill effectively transforms enforceable legal obligations into intellectual property governed by restrictive licenses and online viewer limitations.The Act would require standards to be “publicly accessible,” but this access might mean only being able to view documents behind login walls, with no ability to download, search, or integrate them into legal or compliance tools. This is particularly troubling in areas like tax law, where these standards often form the basis for determining eligibility for deductions or credits.By commodifying access to legal standards, the Pro Codes Act would introduce a two-tiered system: well-resourced firms could pay for commercial access, while small legal clinics, nonprofits, and individuals could find themselves effectively barred from the rules they're legally obligated to follow. The result is an unequal legal landscape where justice becomes contingent on financial capacity.The bill directly undermines a key legal principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 2020: laws and materials carrying the force of law cannot be copyrighted. Permitting private entities to control access to mandatory standards shifts power away from the public and toward entities seeking to monetize compliance.Pro Codes Act—Or, What If The Law Came Behind A Paywall?This week's closing theme is Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn—a composer whose elegance, intellect, and structural precision made him one of the early Romantic era's brightest voices. Born into a wealthy, culturally vibrant German-Jewish family in 1809, Mendelssohn was a child prodigy whose musical maturity arrived astonishingly early. He played a pivotal role in reviving J.S. Bach's legacy and was admired for his orchestral works, choral music, and virtuosic piano writing.Composed in 1841, the Variations sérieuses reflect a side of Mendelssohn that is often overshadowed by his lighter, more lyrical pieces. Written as a contribution to a fundraising album for a monument to Beethoven, the work pays tribute to that master's weight and depth. In this set of 17 variations on a solemn original theme, Mendelssohn channels both Classical form and Romantic intensity. The variations begin introspectively but grow in technical difficulty and emotional force, culminating in a stormy, almost defiant finale.Unlike many variation sets of the time, which favored decorative flourishes, Mendelssohn's sérieuses live up to their name: they are dense, architecturally rigorous, and deeply expressive. The piece showcases his command of counterpoint, his sensitivity to dynamic contrasts, and his ability to build drama without sacrificing formal clarity. It's music that demands both interpretive depth and virtuosity—qualities that have kept it central to the serious piano repertoire for over 180 years. Mendelssohn once described music as a language too precise for words, and this piece speaks volumes in that tongue. It is a fitting and focused way to close the week.Without further ado, Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn – enjoy! This is a public episode.

Der Geiger und die NDR Radiophilharmonie stellen mit "Händel - Mendelssohn" ein Projekt vor, das klassische Musik neu interpretiert.

Donald Macleod traces the musical development of Fanny Hensel née Mendelssohn. Whilst Fanny's famous brother Felix Mendelssohn's career flourished, the equally talented Fanny was often held back by the conventions of the period and at times, by her own brother. Despite this, in her final years, Fanny would go on to publish her own music under her married name, Fanny Hensel.
