For those looking for an example of a life lived with both artistic excellence and personal richness, oboist Christoph Hartmann is an inspiring model. A member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 1992, Christoph is not only a world-class orchestral musician but also a sought-after soloist and chamber player. He teaches at the Freiburg Musikhochschule, where he now lives, regularly commuting to Berlin for performances with the Philharmonic.Outside of his musical career, Christoph is deeply involved in endurance sports—he has run around 40 marathons and is an avid cyclist. His passion for biking even led him to create his own line of bicycles, Pasulli bikes, as well as open a bike shop. With a schedule this full and diverse, Tony was eager to learn how Christoph balances it all—and that's exactly what this wide-ranging conversation explores.In Part 1, Christoph reflects on his time with the Berlin Philharmonic, sharing how the orchestra has evolved over the decades and offering insight into the leadership and influence of conductors Claudio Abbado, Simon Rattle, and Kirill Petrenko. He also talks about the experience of performing for the Philharmonic's Digital Concert Hall and whether those streamed performances come with added pressure. The conversation turns to the ever-present topic of reeds and their impact on oboe playing, as well as how he manages his time between teaching in Freiburg and performing in Berlin. Christoph also shares how his interest in long-distance running and biking fits into his musical life, and we wrap up the first part with a look at the Mozart Oboe Concerto video he recorded for the YouTube Symphony.[Subscriber Content] Part 2 begins with a thoughtful discussion about Christoph's personal motto—“live your dreams”—and how he balances that ideal with the practical demands of his life. Given how many passions he juggles, Tony asks how he determines his priorities and maintains focus. Christoph also offers his perspective on the differences between German and American styles of oboe playing. The conversation then travels back to his early days on the instrument, culminating in the story of his audition for the Berlin Philharmonic. The episode concludes with his reflections on why the Mozart Oboe Concerto continues to be an ideal first-round audition piece for aspiring orchestral players.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Tom Morris is the author of Always the Music, a book I consider a must-read for anyone looking to understand the ins and outs of the classical music business—how it operates, its challenges, and the fascinating personalities involved. Tom has had an extraordinary journey in the world of music, having experienced it all from multiple perspectives. He started as a percussionist, performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and eventually became the General Manager of the same institution. Later, he served as the Executive Director of the Cleveland Orchestra for 17 years, where he made a lasting impact. Most recently, he was the Artistic Director of the renowned Ojai Music Festival, a position he held from 2004 to 2019. In our conversation, we delve into many aspects of his book and his life, a life filled with passion, dedication, and invaluable insights into the classical music world.In Part 1, we explore Tom's early musical journey, beginning as a percussion student and the significant influence of Vic Firth, the legendary timpanist of the Boston Symphony. From there, Tom moved into a pivotal role as the General Manager of the BSO. Along the way, he formed lasting friendships with some of the most influential figures in classical music, including composer Oliver Knussen, conductor John Williams—who joined the Boston Pops in 1980—and the visionary Pierre Boulez. We also discuss Tom's time at the Cleveland Orchestra, where he made a lasting impact, especially through successful European tours and innovative programming that helped elevate the orchestra's profile.In Part 2 [Subscriber Content], we turn to an influential figure who shaped Tom's approach to leadership and problem-solving: author Jim Collins, best known for his book Good to Great. Tom shares how he brought Collins in to help refine the Cleveland Orchestra's strategy, offering a fascinating insight into his thinking on organizational development. We also discuss a significant shift in how conductors approach programming, with many now focusing on the concert as a whole rather than simply selecting individual pieces. Finally, we wrap up with Tom reflecting on his time as Artistic Director of the Ojai Music Festival, where his leadership left a lasting legacy.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

The first thing you should know about double bassist Orin O'Brien is that she doesn't think she's anything special. The second thing you should know — as director Molly O'Brien's thoroughly endearing Oscar-shortlisted documentary short “The Only Girl in the Orchestra” makes perfectly clear — is that Orin O'Brien is very special, indeed. The first female musician hired full time by the New York Philharmonic in 1966, Orin has gone on to have a brilliant and unparalleled 55-year career playing the double bass in the Philharmonic.     Molly joins Ken on the pod to talk about this remarkable musician, teacher and pathbreaker — who also happens to be Molly's beloved aunt. Set in the magical world of Manhattan and taking place as Orin begins a new chapter in her life, this heartfelt documentary shows us that talent, dedication, and a pure enjoyment of playing in the orchestra can make for a deeply fulfilling life. Now, isn't that special?   “The Only Girl in the Orchestra” is now streaming on Netflix.   Hidden Gem: “The Children's Storefront”   Follow: @mobworks on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

40 Percent Melt-up Followed by an 80 Percent Freefalling Market Says David Hunter. Expect Freefalling Markets; COVID Crash "On Steroids" David Hunter David Hunter, a veteran contrarian macro strategist, is forecasting a major "melt-up" in financial markets followed by a dramatic collapse. He predicts that stock markets will continue to surge, with the S&P 500 possibly reaching 7,500 and the NASDAQ hitting 25,000 before this parabolic rally culminates. However, Hunter warns that this final stage will be followed by a global economic bust, driven by decades of overspending, overborrowing, and central bank policy errors. In terms of precious metals, he has a bullish pre-bust outlook, forecasting gold to rise to $3,400 and silver to reach $75 in the near term, boosted by a weakening dollar and falling interest rates. He then sees a crash in prices. After the bust, Hunter sees both metals continuing their upward trajectory, with gold potentially reaching $20,000 and silver soaring to $500 as part of a broader commodity-driven recovery.
