La cima del éxtasis; cómo contar en primera persona lo inefable, cómo narrar y expresar lo indecible, aquello que está al margen de los sentidos, fuera de los límites del lenguaje y de la razón. En este nuevo (y diferente) capítulo de El Libro Rojo tengo el honor de conversar con Luce López-Baralt, Doctora por la Universidad de Harvard y una de las mayores expertas en el ámbito de la mística. Programa emotivo y sobrecogedor. La música que acompaña a la entrevista pertenece al disco 'David Hockney: Bigger & Closer' de Nico Muhly. La música de cabecera es, como siempre, de Den Sorte Skole.

For more than a year now, I've been obsessed with TÁR, the 2022 Todd Field film starring Cate Blanchett as an orchestral conductor whose power plays lead to her devastating downfall. Yes, the story is gripping and suspenseful, but it's the music interlaced throughout the film that keeps me coming back. Aside from the two works performed in the film — Mahler's Fifth Symphony and Elgar's Cello Concerto — which were baked into Field's script, the music you hear throughout TÁR is the result of months of work by the film's music supervisor, Lucy Bright. A specialist in the arenas of film and television scoring, Bright has worked with some of today's biggest composers — including Nico Muhly, Michael Nyman, and Volker Bertelmann — on projects ranging from Assassin's Creed to Aftersun and The Iron Claw. But what exactly does a music supervisor do on a film of this scale? Turns out, it's a lot.  From working with a team of on-set sound engineers who specialize in recording symphony orchestras to developing the film's Deutsche Grammophon concept album and recreating Urbie Green's 1967 recording of "Twenty-one Trombones," Bright was kept busy managing countless aspects of the film's musical atmosphere across three countries. In this episode of the Classical Post podcast, I speak with Bright about the expert levels of coordination and collaboration vital to her work, working with the Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir to realize Lydia Tár's compositions, and what it was like seeing Cate Blanchett raise a baton to conduct Mahler. Plus, she shares her fascinating history with modern architecture, her go-to burger place in New York City, and the therapeutic benefits of swimming in the natural springs of London's Hampstead Heath.

The Labeque Sisters, Katia and Marielle Labeque, shot to fame in 1980 with their arrangements of Gershwin, including the Rhapsody in Blue, and for more than half a century have made a unique musical life together. Tom Service talks to Katia and Marielle about the broad range of music that they are creating, the boundaries that they are constantly pushing, and their sound-world within two pianos. Before the release of their award-winning Gershwin disc in 1980, Katia and Marielle Labeque predominantly performed contemporary music, and encountered the composer Olivier Messiaen, who overheard them practising his Vision de l'Amen while they were still students at the Paris Conservatoire. They've since worked with Boulez and Berio, and it was on tour in Los Angeles, performing Berio's Concerto for Two Pianos, that they happened across Gershwin for the first time. As students at the Paris Conservatoire, they had to fight to be accepted into the chamber music class, and they tell Tom about perceptions of piano duos and the mission to constantly seek new repertoire. The sisters' continual curiosity and creativity has led them on a journey, as Marielle describes it, where one chance encounter leads to another. They have commissioned new works from musicians of backgrounds from rock to classical, from Bryce Dessner to Nico Muhly, and they have worked alongside Giovanni Antonini who helped them to acquire two reproductions of Bach's Silbermann keyboards, which they keep in their Palazzo in Venice. The sisters speak to Tom at length about all their musical projects, delve into what keeps them going, and discuss how their distinct two-piano sound really works.

In this second episode of Wise Music, hosts Dave Holley and Gill Graham speak to Wise Music composer Nico Muhly, beaming in from Paris.

Vanessa Wagner présente l'album Study Of The Invisible (InFiné). S'il y a une constante chez Vanessa Wagner, c'est bien sa versatilité, au sens où l'entendent les Anglo-Saxons. Parallèlement à sa carrière de musicienne interprétant le grand répertoire soliste, chambriste et concertant sur les scènes du monde entier (et l'enregistrant pour le label La Dolce Volta), celle que Le Monde qualifie de "pianiste la plus délicieusement singulière de sa génération" et que Libération décrit comme "une des pianistes les plus curieuses et captivantes du paysage hexagonal - arpente avec la complicité du label InFiné des chemins tout aussi personnels, mais peut-être plus intimes". Après Statea en 2016, en duo avec le musicien électronique Murcof, elle vient aujourd'hui poursuivre avec Study Of The Invisible le voyage entamé sur son disque solo Inland (2019). Un voyage qui la voit défricher ce répertoire qu'elle est en France, voire en Europe, pratiquement la seule pianiste "classique" à aborder. Un répertoire contemporain et intemporel que l'on qualifiera, pour aller vite, de "minimaliste", mais qui recouvre en réalité une multitude d'univers singuliers et de personnalités musicales souvent hors du commun, toutes générations confondues. Pour composer ce programme, Vanessa Wagner a creusé son passionnant travail de découverte entamé avec Inland, assemblant des pièces rares qui tissent entre elles une mystérieuse histoire. Parmi les 15 stations qui composent ce palpitant périple, les États-Unis se taillent la part du lion. Sous le parrainage de Moondog, le viking aveugle et visionnaire, dont le très "bachien". Prélude en la majeur de 1961 constitue la pièce la plus ancienne du disque, se côtoient les icônes du minimalisme - l'incontournable Philip Glass, l'inclassable Harold Budd, pape de la musique ambient -, les représentants de la première génération de "postminimalistes" - Peter Garland, David Lang ou Julia Wolfe, nés dans les années 1950 - et la jeune garde : Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, nés entre 1976 et 1985. Mais aussi quelques outsideuses de choix : Suzanne Ciani, plus connue (tout est relatif) comme pionnière de la musique électronique ou l'étonnante Caroline Shaw, qui fut en 2013, à 31 ans, la plus jeune lauréate du prix Pulitzer, et dont l'univers va et vient librement entre musiques "savante" et "populaire". Tout aussi inclassables, apparaissent aussi les œuvres et les parcours de l'Italien Ezio Bosso, du Français Melaine Dalibert ou, bien sûr, des frères Brian et Roger Eno, autres musiciens d'entre les mondes.   Ces partitions qui peuvent de prime abord paraître simples techniquement - quoique les Études de Philip Glass ou de Nico Muhly exigent une vélocité extravagante - réclament en réalité de l'interprète - bien davantage que la simple virtuosité : une intériorité, une authentique disposition de l'âme. À l'instar de la musique d'Érik Satie, c'est une musique qu'il appartient à chacun d'habiter en se gardant de la dénaturer. Ainsi l'exploration à laquelle se livre Vanessa Wagner est aussi une quête : "Chercher son intériorité : c'est ce que j'aime de plus en plus dans la musique." Après avoir joué Scriabine, Rachmaninov ou Ravel, explorer l'intensité sans déluge de notes, le dépouillement comme mode d'expression me passionne. Il s'agit pour l'interprète de faire ressortir une vraie atmosphère, une respiration du tempo, une sensualité du son, de mettre une intensité dans chaque intention, et faire vivre et vibrer les espaces entre chaque note. "Ce n'est pas une musique légère, c'est une musique intense émotionnellement, qui va en profondeur, dans laquelle on met une part de son histoire…" Marier à ce degré d'intensité le contrôle - celui du toucher, du son - et l'abandon n'est pas à la portée de tous les instrumentistes. Tel est le sens de Study Of The Invisible : aller chercher ce monde mystérieux qui vit derrière la partition, les liens imperceptibles qui unissent ces silences et ces harmonies, mais aussi ces ressources intérieures que cette musique est capable de mettre à jour. Avec ce disque et ce voyage, Vanessa Wagner dont l'apparente mélancolie s'avère en fin de compte puissamment réconfortante, continue de donner ses lettres de noblesse à une musique qui, mieux que brillante, se révèle avant tout rayonnante et lumineuse.   Et Labelle présente Eclat (InFiné/ Eumolpe), son nouvel album pour quatuor à cordes et électro-maloya avec la participation du quatuor Metavers. Avec Éclat - moment unique d'étincelle de la création - Labelle continue son exploration de l'infinie possibilité de la composition débutée en 2019 avec Orchestre Univers. Son quatrième album studio, centré autour d'un quatuor à cordes, est né lors d'une répétition à laquelle assistait Labelle : assis à côté des cordes, il les observe communiquer entre eux dans un langage sans paroles, presque télépathique, fait de contacts visuels, de hochements de tête et de coups d'archets. Depuis ses débuts, le compositeur aime s'affranchir des règles orchestrales traditionnelles pour expérimenter, innover et "créoliser" son art. "J'ai écrit pour eux comme si j'écrivais pour un groupe de rock." Jeremy précise : "Tu as ta section rythmique, tes deux guitares lead et un seul musicien joue de la basse." Dans la musique classique, le langage entre les musiciens est la clé - la conversation entre les lignes et les musiciens crée quelque chose d'organique et vivant. Ainsi, Labelle écrit aussi les parties électroniques pour qu'elles aient une double fonction : élément musical d'une part, clef de compréhension de l'œuvre d'autre part, devenant ainsi une partie du langage entre les musiciens. Ensemble, ils explorent un son unique où l'orchestration classique rencontre le Maloya, l'électronique moderne rencontre les instruments organiques, l'Afrique rencontre l'Europe, la terre rencontre l'espace. Labelle cherche l'inspiration partout : Mes Mondes a été augmenté d'un quart de ton pour correspondre à la gamme de la musique Gnaoua du Maroc, un morceau très rythmé et hypnotique étroitement lié au Maloya de La Réunion, pays d'origine de l'artiste. Le morceau suivant, Dann Ron Maloya, est une construction jusqu'à RON, la seule fois sur le disque où les quatre musiciens jouent la même ligne, un récit musical de l'état de transe que la musique et la danse Maloya peuvent permettre d'atteindre. Ils s'élèvent et s'élèvent jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient noyés dans la distorsion, ressemblant plus à un solo de guitare rock qu'à un quatuor à cordes. Le titre éponyme Éclat est peut-être celui qui s'inscrit le plus directement dans la lignée du précédent album de l'artiste, Orchestre Univers, évoquant un son cosmique, comme un orchestre suspendu en apesanteur. De nombreuses chansons ont d'abord été enregistrées lors d'une série de concerts, avant que la pandémie ne frappe en 2020, puis réenregistrées, éditées et superposées au cours d'une année de confinement. Sur le disque fini, grâce à un mixage et une production exceptionnelle, il est impossible de distinguer ce qui a été enregistré en direct de ce qui a été enregistré en studio : un témoignage du niveau étonnant de détails apporté à cet album. Pour immortaliser et ajouter la touche finale à cette expérimentation, le disque a été envoyé à Hector Plimmer pour un mixage supplémentaire. La touche jazz et expérimentale du producteur anglais déconstruit encore plus le quatuor à cordes, l'amenant vers un résultat encore plus beau et singulier. Labelle a créé un disque capable d'unir des éléments de rock, de jazz, d'électronique et de musique classique sans jamais perdre l'auditeur, il l'attire en l'introduisant lentement dans un monde où la musique se libère de toutes ses barrières. Ce n'est définitivement plus de la musique classique qu'il compose.   À propos de Labelle  Jeremy Labelle est à l'avant-garde d'une jeune génération de musiciens réunionnais représentant et développant le son Maloya à travers le monde. Après avoir enregistré sa première œuvre orchestrale Orchestre Univers lors de quatre concerts à guichets fermés à La Réunion, Éclat continue cette série de recherches atour de la composition classique et des sons traditionnels de son île.

Nico Muhly's Stranger, premiered in 2020, gives its name to a new album from Avie featuring the tenor Nicholas Phan. The album also includes two earlier works, Muhly's Lorne ys my likinge, written as a companion piece to Benjamin Britten's Abraham and Isaac and similarly scored for countertenor, tenor and piano (for which Phan is joined by countertenor Reginald Mobley and pianist Lisa Kaplan), and Impossible Things, setting poems by CP Cavafy, and featuring a solo violin and ensemble: on the new recording, The Knights, conducted by Eric Jacobsen with Colin Jacobsen taking the solo violin role.  James Jolly caught up by video call with Nicholas Phan in San Francisco and Nico Muhly in New York to talk about the album, and how Stranger came into being.

Nico Muhly Interview For Pachinko | BGR Exclusive Apple bet big on their new show, Pachinko, and that bet has paid off. It has been called "redefining," and "extraordinary" in terms of both beauty and drama. The first season begins in 1910's Korea and follows a family across generations and around the globe. While composer Nico Muhly (The Reader, Kill Your Darlings) admits tying these places and times together was a daunting assignment, he is more than equal to the task. Muhly deftly uses his love of Anglican choral music and American minimalism to craft an original and emotional score for the 8-hour saga. Nico took time from his busy schedule to talk with me about his Emmy nominated work, Throughline, as well as Apple TV+'s Pachinko. We discussed everything from scoring and recording during the pandemic to grappling with the history of the Japanese occupation of Korea. In light of the high praise, Pachinko has recently been picked up for season two. I sincerely hope Nico returns to score it. The music is always emotionally stirring and sometimes aching. For those of you that may be curious, my favorite songs were Hansu Sees Sunja, Packing and Kimchi. Pachinko stars Academy Award-winner Yuh-Jung Youn, Lee Minho, Jin Ha, and Minha Kim, Pachinko premiered March 25. All episodes are currently available. Jonesy also does a solo review of Disney/Pixar's Lightyear

The Claremont Trio — Queen of Hearts (Tria) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - The Claremont Trio by “The Claremont Trio started in 1999. Currently, our incredible pianist is Andrea Lam. She's from Sydney and is such a beautiful pianist and wonderfully fun collaborator,' violinist Emily Bruskin said. “We've had a great time. The first pieces we learned together are works commissioned for our new CD, Queen of Hearts.” Bruskin and her twin sister, cellist Julia Bruskin, formed the Claremont Trio while they were living on Claremont Avenue in New York City. They were students in a joint program between Columbia and Juilliard. Their new recording marks the group's 20th anniversary, albeit a little late due to COVID. It features works that the Claremont Trio commissioned over the past two decades. “It's fun for us. It takes us back to pieces from 2008, and then something from 2012 or 2016. It brings us back to memories from different points in our career when these pieces were written, when we were working on them or when we played them often. It was a fun way for us to revisit experiences over our 20 years together.” How does the piece Queen of Hearts represent the Claremont Trio? “Queen of Hearts is what Kati Agócs wrote for us, and it's an amazing piece; it's all in one movement. It's a spiritual journey from a very heartfelt, intuitive spiritual composer. She's a singer herself, and the piece is a long emotional journey. I think it's something that we enjoy playing. We're an all-women group, and she likes the symbolism of the Queen of Hearts. Its powerful resilient femininity made for a fun title for the disc.” How is the concept of resilience represented in the music? “She uses a chaconne in the music, which is basically a repeating bassline that goes throughout the music. When she was writing the piece, there were challenges in her personal life. She found the idea of returning to something familiar or dependable helpful. It's a beautiful way to write a composition, because even when you're wandering very deep in the woods, in the middle of the piece, you feel like you know where you are and where you want to get back to.” Where does the title of Nico Muhly's piece, Common Ground, come from? “He was using the ground bass, which is like the chaconne. He also uses the piano and strings as opposites of each other in the piece. Common Ground is referring to two elements finding common ground. It is the piano on the strings, finding ways to work together.” Could you talk about the three little pieces by Helen Grime? “We were commissioning pieces to commemorate the grand opening of a concert hall in Boston at the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum. She wanted art from the museum to inspire her works, and she picked out three Whistler miniatures. They're little watercolor paintings that are incredibly beautiful, impressionistic, with subtle color palettes. Grime's music is kind of like that. It's evocative and as soon as it starts, you feel like you're in another world. “It's so exciting to commission a new piece and to play music that nobody's ever heard before. It's fun to collaborate with composers figuring out what inspired them and what's cool, exciting or gorgeous about their new piece of music.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Pianist Lisa Kaplan of eighth blackbird joins us to chat about the many evolutions of their organization, from the original ensemble to their many teaching endeavors. We chat about the Chicago Artists Workshop and Blackbird Creative Lab, two of the ways in which they continue to “move music forward” beyond their primarily performance-based projects. Kaplan shares about how the ensemble conceptualizes and puts projects—such as This is my Home—into action. We speak about how the organization integrates interns into their administrative process. And, we ask, "why 'eighth blackbird'?" Born in Motown, Lisa Kaplan is a pianist specializing in the performance of new work by living composers. Kaplan is the founding pianist and Executive Director of the four-time Grammy Award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird. Kaplan has won numerous awards, performed all over the country and has premiered new pieces by hundreds of composers, including Andy Akiho, Jennifer Higdon, Amy Beth Kirsten, David Lang, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, George Perle, and Pamela Z. She has had the great pleasure to collaborate and make music with an eclectic array of incredibly talented people - Laurie Anderson, Jeremy Denk, Bryce Dessner, Philip Glass, Bon Iver, J. Ivy, Glenn Kotche, Shara Nova, Will Oldham, Natalie Portman, Gustavo Santaolalla, Robert Spano, Tarrey Torae, Dawn Upshaw and Michael Ward-Bergeman to name a few. As a proud, single-mama-by-choice, Kaplan has been having an incredible time raising and learning from her happy-go-lucky 4 year old, Frida. Musically as of late, she has also greatly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to do both composing and arranging for Eighth Blackbird as well as some producing. In 2019, Kaplan co-produced her first record, When We Are Inhuman with Bryce Dessner. Kaplan is a true foodie, gourmet cook, avid reader, crossword and Scrabble addict, enjoys baking ridiculously complicated pastry and loves outdoor adventures. She has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, braved the Australian outback, stared an enormous elephant in the face in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater and survived close encounters with grizzly bears in the Brooks Range of Alaska.

This Christmas, to celebrate 50 years since Jesus Christ Superstar first opened on Broadway, we've dedicated an entire episode to unwrapping its magic. What is it about the rock opera that makes it, as one Times critic wrote, ‘the one masterpiece of Lloyd Webber's career'? Why, after five decades, does it still give pause for theological thought? And how can one piece of music connect such disparate-seeming artists as Dmitri Shostakovich, Googoosh, Lin Mannuel Maranda, and Kanye West? Featuring interviews with Sirs Tim Rice and Karl Jenkins, Alain Boublil, Peaches and Nico Muhly, this is … The Jesus Christ Superspecial.… Buy us a coffee innit: https://ko-fi.com/classicalpod … Follow us here: instagram.com/classicalpod/ twitter.com/ClassicalPod facebook.com/ClassicalPod/
