Written in the era of the founding of Gresham College, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream portrays the hypnotic dreaminess of a fairy world in which the real and the fantastic are blurred. This lecture explores how the innate musicality of Shakespeare's original has provoked adaptations across the centuries, including Ashton and Balanchine's ballets based on Mendelssohn's incidental music for the play, Britten's opera, Purcell's masque The Fairy Queen, Henze's Eighth Symphony and Elvis Costello's Il Sogno. What is it about Shakespeare's fairies that have inspired such diverse musical responses?This lecture was recorded by Professor Dominic Broomfield-McHugh on 22nd September  2025 at Conway Hall, London.Dominic Broomfield-McHugh is Gresham Visiting Professor of Film and Theatre Music. He is also Professor of Music at the University of Sheffield and is a graduate of King's College London. His scholarship focuses on the American musical on stage and screen, and he has published eight books including Loverly: The Life and Times of 'My Fair Lady' (OUP, 2012), The Letters of Cole Porter (Yale, 2019) and The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical (2022). He is Associate Producer of the PBS documentary Meredith Willson: America's Music Man and has appeared on all the main BBC television and radio stations as well as NPR in America. He has given talks and lectures at the Sydney Opera House, New York City Center, the Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Sadler's Wells, and Lincoln Center, among many others.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/musical-fairiesGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

S04E02 Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel (1805-1847): sorella di Felix Mendelssohn e molto, molto altro

Keration Podcast

In un recente episodio, abbiamo parlato di Clara Schumann, una compositrice di grande talento che era sposata con Robert Schumann. Oggi vorremmo rivolgere la nostra attenzione su Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, un'altra compositrice di sorprendente talento che è stata coperta dall'ombra di un uomo famoso. Nel caso di Fanny, l'uomo da cui è stata oscurata era suo fratello Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847). E non è cosa da poco. Felix non fu solo uno dei più grandi compositori dell'epoca romantica, fu a dir poco un miracolo. Pensate al suo ottetto, alle sue musiche di scena per Sogno di una notte di mezza estate, alla sua musica da camera, alle sue sinfonie, alla sua musica per pianoforte, ai suoi oratori. Quanti altri compositori come lui conoscete? Senza dimenticare che compose ogni cosa in soli 38 anni: questa fu infatti l'età in cui morì. Eppure, anche accanto a un colosso come Felix, Fanny tiene testa. Se fosse vissuta in un'epoca in cui le donne non erano così emarginate, e se non fosse morta all'età di 41 anni, avrebbe potuto godere del riconoscimento e del rispetto che meritava. Ma oggi sferreremo un piccolo colpo a suo favore. Non possiamo correggere quasi due secoli di dimenticanza in un solo giorno, ma insieme possiamo scoprire di più sulla meravigliosa musica composta da questa donna straordinaria. Piccola biografia di Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel Fanny Mendelssohn (che prese il nome di Mendelssohn-Hensel dopo il suo matrimonio nel 1829) nacque il 14 novembre 1805 ad Amburgo, in Germania. Era la maggiore di quattro figli di una distinta famiglia ebrea. Suo padre era nipote del filosofo Moses Mendelssohn. (Si noti che, a causa delle norme sociali osservate da alcuni ebrei tedeschi all'epoca, i piccoli Mendelssohn e i loro genitori furono battezzati e divennero luterani nel 1816.) Fanny mostrò un prodigioso talento musicale. Ricevette le sue prime lezioni di pianoforte da sua madre e in seguito studiò con Carl Friedrich Zelter, un importante compositore dell'epoca. Nonostante il suo talento, si astenne dall'esibirsi pubblicamente o dal promuovere le proprie composizioni. Molti dei suoi primi lavori furono pubblicati sotto il nome di suo fratello. Nel 1829 sposò l'artista Wilhelm Hensel. Fanny ha continuato a comporre e a esibirsi in contesti privati. Solo nel 1846 pubblicò una raccolta di canzoni con il suo nome. Morì di ictus il 14 maggio 1847, quando aveva 41 anni. Suo fratello Felix ne fu devastato e morì solo sei mesi dopo, a 38 anni. Eredità Le opere di Fanny Mendelssohn hanno ottenuto un crescente riconoscimento negli ultimi anni, rivelando i suoi significativi contributi al panorama musicale dell'epoca romantica. Le sue composizioni includono un quartetto d'archi, un trio con pianoforte, più di 125 pezzi per pianoforte e più di 250 canzoni. Consigli per l'ascolto Canzoni Eichendorff-Lieder (sei brani di poesie di Joseph von Eichendorff) Sei canzoni, Op. 7 Opere per pianoforte Sei canzoni per pianoforte, Op. 4 e 5 Piano Sonata in C- Musica da camera Trio in re minore per pianoforte, violino e violoncello op. 11 Quartetto d'archi in Mi bemolle Opere corali Oratorio su Scene della Bibbia, per solisti, coro e orchestra

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.

In Episode 31 of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker brings a touch of heavenly humor with The Pearly Gates Tavern, an imaginative conversation between Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn over brunch in the afterlife. The three legendary composers reflect on oratorios, earthly performances of Elijah, and the enduring joy of music. This week's listener question comes from a parent wondering how best to support musically inclined children as they begin school-year ensembles and piano lessons. Today's inspiration is The Lonely Child from Songs of the Holocaust by William W. Dreyfoos, performed by The William Baker Festival Singers. Tune in for an episode that blends whimsy, wisdom, and deep reverence for music's power across generations. Ask ChatGPT

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.

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.
