Sie sei eine «kompromisslose Künstlerinnenpersönlichkeit»: Zu diesem Schluss kam die Jury im Auswahlprozess für den «Eurovision Young Musicians»-Wettbewerb. Am 6. Juni wird die junge Pianistin Manoush Toth im Finale in Armenien auftreten. Wie kompromisslos findet sie sich selbst? Ruhe. Das empfindet Manoush Toth, wenn sie am Klavier sitzt und einfach alles stimmt. Und gleichzeitig spüre sie die Kraft des Moments; das Wissen, dass genau dieser Moment zähle. Man wünscht Manoush Toth, dass sich diese Ruhe am Abend des 6. Juni in ihr ausbreiten wird. Dann findet in der armenischen Hauptstadt Jerewan das Finale des Musikwettbewerbs «Eurovision Young Musicians» statt, der alle zwei Jahre von der European Broadcasting Union (EBU) ausgerichtet wird und jungen Klassiktalenten eine grosse Bühne bietet. Im Rahmen der Förderung von Schweizer Musiktalenten bei SRF wurde die 19-Jährige von einer Fachjury als Teilnehmerin ausgesucht. Für diesen besonderen Auftritt hat sie sich für ein Stück von Schumann entschieden – allerdings nicht von Robert, sondern von Clara, dessen Ehefrau. «Clara Schumann wird immer mehr aufgeführt. Aber noch immer zu wenig», begründet Manoush Toth ihre Wahl. Dabei gehöre ihr Klavierkonzert zu den wichtigsten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das verrät viel über Manoush Toth. Und was sie damit meint, wenn sie sagt, dass sie sich einen ernsthaften Zugang zur klassischen Musik wünsche. Weil Ernsthaftigkeit in ihrem Fall vor allem Offenheit und Neugierde bedeutet: «Wenn man die Hintergründe der klassischen Musik kennt, dann öffnet sich einem ein ganz besonderer Schatz.» Sie selbst nahm das erste Funkeln dieses Schatzes bereits im Alter von zwei Jahren wahr. Fast gleichzeitig mit dem Sprechen sei die Musik in ihr Leben gekommen. Und entsprechend vertraut fühle sie sich an, bis heute. Aufgewachsen ist sie zuerst auf den kanarischen Inseln, später im Berner Oberland. Sie und ihre Geschwister gehen nicht zur Schule, werden zu Hause von den Eltern unterrichtet. Paradiesisch sei das gewesen, sagt Manoush Toth. Doch mit dem Eintritt in die Hochschule für Musik Basel stand sie dadurch vor Herausforderungen, die sich anderen jungen Menschen nicht stellen. Im Gespräch mit Melanie Pfändler erzählt Manoush Toth von dieser Zeit, von dem Druck, den sie sich selbst auferlege, von der engen musikalischen Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem Bruder Anatol und ihrer jüngeren Schwester Anouk und von diesem magischen Moment auf der Bühne, wenn alles noch ganz still ist und sie ihre Finger auf die Tasten legt. Die Musiktitel: - W.A. Mozart: 3. Allegro, aus Sinfonie Nr. 31 D-Dur KV 297 «Pariser» (Freiburger Barockorchester; Gottfried von der Goltz, Leitung) - Antonin Antonín Dvořák: 3. Poco adagio, aus Klaviertrio Nr. 3 f-Moll op. 65 (Isabelle Faust, Violine; Jean-Guihen Queyras, Violoncello; Alexander Melnikov, Klavier) - Francis Poulenc: 3. Allegro ma non troppo, aus Doppelkonzert d-Moll (Sylviane Deferne & Pascal Rogé, Klavier; Philharmonia Orchestra; Charles Dutoit, Leitung) - Billy Joel: The Stranger - Franz Schubert: Impromptu Ges-Dur D 899 op. 90 (Radu Lupu, Klavier)

Die rhythmische Energie dieser Ballettmusik ist so legendär wie die Berichte vom Pariser Uraufführungsskandal Anno 1913. Im Musiksalon fragen wir, warum dieses Werk so anders klingt als alles, was selbst die radikale Moderne akustisch zu bieten hatte - und warum das Publikum dennoch die Aufführungen seit Jahrzehnten regelrecht stürmt. Die Musikbeispiele stammen aus der grandiosen Aufnahme mit dem Philharmonia Orchestra unter Igor Markevitch (1959).

Margaret Atwood is a Canadian writer. She has published more than sixty books spanning novels, poetry, short stories, non-fiction, children's literature, and graphic novels, and has been called “one of the sharpest and most imaginative novelists writing in English”. She is one of only four writers to have won the Booker Prize twice: for The Blind Assassin in 2000 and for her 2019 follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments.Margaret was born in Ottawa in November 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, the second of three children to Carl Atwood, an entomologist. During her early life, she would spend the warmer months in the remote forests of northern Quebec and Ontario where her father tracked insect infestations, and the winters in the city (first Ottawa, later Toronto). She didn't attend school for a full year until the age of twelve.Her childhood scribblings – a “novel” about an ant called Annie, a volume of rhyming poems about cats, and a play about a giant – turned into a more serious ambition to become a writer when Margaret was sixteen. After studying English at the University of Toronto, where she began publishing poems in the college magazine, her first novel, The Edible Woman, came out in 1969, following five collections of poetry. Her most famous work, The Handmaid's Tale, was published in 1985 and depicted a dystopian vision of the United States as a patriarchal and totalitarian place called Gilead. Although it was written during the Reagan era, it has become eerily relevant again in the wake of the election of Donald Trump. Margaret lost her life partner, the writer Graeme Gibson, in 2019. She lives in Toronto.DISC ONE: Anchors Aweigh - US Navy Band DISC TWO: Hearts of Stone - The Charms DISC THREE: Offenbach: Les contes d'Hoffmann, Giulietta Act: Barcarolle.

Ursula Jones is “nothing short of a musical icon” – at least according to the Royal Philharmonic Society, who made her an honorary member last year at the age of 92. She has devoted her life to music, and has long championed the work of young performers – she gave Daniel Barenboim his first break as a conductor in London, when he was just 23. Ursula was born in Lucerne in 1932, where her father was one of the founders of the Lucerne Festival, so famous musicians, including the likes of Richard Strauss, were never far away. She came to London in 1954 and worked as a secretary for the Philharmonia Orchestra, moving on to co-found the English Chamber Orchestra in 1960. She married the eminent trumpet player Philip Jones, and later managed his Brass Ensemble. Music isn't her only fascination: she completed a doctorate in archaeology at the age of 60, and in 2021 she cycled 100km to raise money for the charity Brass for Africa. Ursula's choices include music by Britten, Mozart and Handel.

SynopsisIt might seem odd to think of Max Bruch as a 20th-century composer. After all, his three greatest hits — his Violin Concerto No. 1, his Scottish Fantasy for violin and orchestra, and his setting of the Hebraic liturgical chant Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra — were all written in the 19th century.But this archetypal German Romantic composer, who was born in 1838, lived to the ripe old age of 82, and kept producing new works up to the time of his death in 1920.One of these, a Concerto for Two Pianos, was commissioned by an American duo piano team, Ottilie and Rose Suttro, who premiered it with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra on today's date in 1916. The new work was well-received and its composer praised.But there is a somewhat ironic historical footnote to this successful premiere: It appears the Suttro Duo drastically revised and even rewrote parts of Bruch's score for their 1916 performance, unbeknown to the composer. It wouldn't be until 1971 that the concerto was performed as he had actually written it.Music Played in Today's ProgramMax Bruch (1838-1920) Concerto for Two Pianos; Güher and Süher Pekinel, pianos; Philharmonia Orchestra; Neville Marriner, cond.

SynopsisThese days at symphony concerts, when a new piece of music is about to be played, it's not uncommon to overhear someone mutter, “Why do they have to program this new stuff, when there's so much Brahms and Tchaikovsky we'd rather hear?”Well, on today's date in 1881, the 40th season of the New York Philharmonic Society's concerts opened with a pair of new works: first the New York premiere of the Tragic Overture, by Johannes Brahms, and after that, the world premiere of the Second Piano Concerto, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The soloist in the Tchaikovsky was Madeleine Schiller.Here's what the New York Times had to say the following morning: “The return of Madame Schiller to the stage is a welcome event, ... the only regret being that her efforts had not been devoted to a more interesting work, for, apart from the novelty, it cannot be said that the Tchaikovsky concerto possessed any great merit. There are older works, of which one never tires and which, interpreted by Madame Schiller ... would always be welcomed.”Ah, some things never change!Music Played in Today's ProgramJohannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) Tragic Overture; Chicago Symphony; Daniel Barenboim, cond.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1829, German composer Felix Mendelssohn was in London, participating in a gala concert to raise funds for the victims of a flood in Silesia. “Everyone who has attracted the slightest attention during the season will take part,” wrote Mendelssohn. “Many offers of good performers have had to be declined, as otherwise the concert will last till the next day!”Mendelssohn performed his Double Concerto in E Major for two pianos and orchestra, joined by his friend and fellow-composer/pianist Ignaz Moscheles. Mendessohn and Moscheles jointly prepared a special cadenza, and jokingly bet each other how long the audience would applaud it—Mendessohn predicting 10 minutes, and Mosceheles, more modestly, suggesting 5.In the Baroque age, Double Concertos were very popular, but by Mendelssohn's day they had become less common. In our time, Concertos for Two Pianos are even rarer. One of the most successful American Double Concertos was written between 1952 and 1953 by the American composer Quincy Porter. Also known as the “Concerto Concertante,” commissioned by the Louisville Orchestra. It proved to be one of the most popular of Porter's works, and even won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1954.Music Played in Today's ProgramFelix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) Double Concerto Güher and Süher Pekinel, pianos; Philharmonia Orchestra; Sir Neville Marriner, conductor.

Synopsis The German composer Richard Strauss wrote his first song at age 6, and his last at age 84, a year before his death in 1949. Four of his last songs were for soprano and orchestra. These Four Last Songs, as they came to be known, were premiered in London, at the Royal Albert Hall, on today's date in 1950. Strauss had written to the great Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad, suggesting "I would like to make it possible that [the songs] should be at your disposal for a world premiere ... with a first-class conductor and orchestra.” Flagstad did sing the premiere performances, with the first-rate Philharmonia Orchestra of London conducted by the legendary German conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler. In addition to those famous performers, credit for the realization of Strauss's request is also due to an unlikely and exotic patron of the arts, namely the Maharaja of Mysore, who put up a cash guarantee for the Strauss premiere. And since he could not be present himself, the Maharaja asked that the premiere be recorded and the discs shipped to him in Mysore. The Maharaja had wanted to be concert pianist, but the deaths of both his father and his uncle forced him to succeed to the throne in 1940 at the age of 21. In addition to underwriting the Strauss premiere, the young Maharaja championed the music of the Russian composer Nikolas Medtner, and, in 1945, the creation of the Philharmonia Orchestra of London as a recording ensemble for the enterprising EMI producer Walter Legge. In addition to Western classical music, the Maharaja was passionate about the court music of his native land, and, under the pen name of Shri Vidya, himself composed almost 100 works in the South Indian tradition.
