This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Dr. Jocelyn Chadwick interview distinguished British television journalist, author, and Classic FM presenter, John Suchet, OBE. Mr. Suchet explores the life and legacy of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, one of Russia's greatest composers. He shares insights into Tchaikovsky's upbringing, his late start in composing, and the emotional challenges that shaped his career and music. Suchet discusses Tchaikovsky's struggles with self-doubt, harsh critics, and a turbulent personal life, which influenced his famous works. He highlights Tchaikovsky's enduring masterpieces, including The 1812 Overture, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty, examining his genius for melody, orchestral “color,” and exploring international inspirations. Suchet also reflects on the immense contemporary cultural and financial success of The Nutcracker and Tchaikovsky's other ballets, which captivate audiences worldwide. Closing the discussion, Suchet celebrates Tchaikovsky's unparalleled ability to create music that remains timeless, magical, and universally beloved, establishing his place as a cornerstone of the classical music repertoire. In doing so, he reads a passage from his book, Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed.

Hey everyone! I hope everyhting is fine:)  Today we talk about Russian music. This episode is quite challenging but interesting. Here is the text: Русская музыка охватывает широкий спектр стилей и жанров: от традиционной народной музыки до классических композиций. Для народной музыки характерно использование балалайки и домры, традиционных русских струнных инструментов. Народные песни часто рассказывают истории о повседневной жизни, любви и природе. Классическая музыка в России имеет богатую историю: такие известные композиторы, как Петр Чайковский и Сергей Рахманинов, писали произведения, которые до сих пор исполняются во всем мире. Эти композиторы, наряду с Дмитрием Шостаковичем, Игорем Стравинским и Сергеем Прокофьевым, помогли сделать Россию центром классической музыки. Их произведения считаются одними из лучших образцов классической музыки в мире и до сих пор исполняются в концертных залах и оперных театрах многих стран. В последние годы в российской музыке также наблюдается появление новых жанров, таких как рок, поп и хип-хоп. Эти жанры завоевали популярность среди молодежи и открыли музыкантам новые возможности для демонстрации своих талантов. Кроме того, современные технологии, такие как Интернет и потоковые платформы, облегчили российским музыкантам доступ к мировой аудитории. В целом русская музыка представляет собой богатую и разнообразную область, простирающуюся от традиционных народных песен до самых передовых классических произведений, отражающую культурное наследие страны, ее исторический и политический контекст, а также художественное творчество ее народа. Translation: Russian music encompasses a diverse range of styles and genres, from traditional folk music to classical compositions. Folk music is characterized by its use of the balalaika and the domra, traditional Russian string instruments. Folk songs often tell stories about daily life, love, and nature. Classical music has a rich history in Russia, with famous composers such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff, both of whom wrote works that are still performed today all over the world. These composers, along with Dmitry Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky, and Sergei Prokofiev, helped establish Russia as a center for classical music. Their works are considered some of the finest examples of classical music in the world, and are still performed in concert halls and opera houses in many countries. In recent years, Russian music has also seen the emergence of new genres, such as rock, pop, and hip-hop. These genres have gained popularity among young people and have created new opportunities for musicians to showcase their talents. Additionally, modern technologies like the internet and streaming platforms have made it easier for Russian musicians to reach a global audience. Overall, Russian music is a rich and diverse field that spans from traditional folk songs to the most advanced classical compositions, reflecting the country's cultural heritage, its historical and political context, and the artistic creativity of its people.

2023.06.27 – 0908 – When You Simply Can't Speak At AllThe clinical name for hoarseness is ‘dysphonia' and complete (or almost complete) voice loss is ‘aphonia'.Often the symptoms are caused by infection, physical abnormality or disease, but emotional distress can also be at the root, when it is referred to as a ‘psychogenic' voice disorder.Extreme performance anxiety may include paralysis: freezing, fainting or losing the ability to talk at all.[1]In the singing world (where of course, artists perform in front of a living, breathing audience, unlike the solo studio presentations of most broadcasters and podcasters) some of the biggest names from Maria Callas to Vladimir Horowitz – have struggled to deal with performing under intense expectation. Then there's Ella Fitzgerald, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Barbra Streisand[2], Adele[3], Luciano Pavarotti, Arthur Rubinstein, actors Stephen Fry[4] and John Sim[5], Sergei Rachmaninoff, Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Frederic Chopin who wrote: “I am not fitted to give concerts. The audience intimidates me. I feel choked by its breath, paralysed by its curious glances”. Note that a live performance is usually better than a pre-recorded one as performers are often at their best when there's a bit of tension. There's a buzz an excitement, a scary thrill. Nerves can keep you alert and sharp at the mic, you need to harness that energy and heightened state of awareness to bring in your best personal performance. [1] More on this topic in Dianna Kenny's book “The Psychology of Music Performance Anxiety” https://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychology-Music-Performance-Anxiety/dp/0199586144 and Sarah Solovitch “Playing Scared: A History and Memory of Stage Fright”https://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Scared-History-Memoir-Fright/dp/162040091X [2] Barbra Streisand, the most successful solo female singer of all time, gave up live performance for 27 years after she forgot the words to a song in a concert in Central Park in 1967. She later claimed to have spent 2,700 hours in psychotherapy, at a cost of $360,000. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If it hadn't been for Pyotr Tchaikovsky's love of jam, he may never have completed his first large-scale work. After graduating from the Conservatory of St Petersburg, the 26-year-old started composing his first symphony, ‘Winter Daydreams', but quickly ran out of steam. “No other work cost him such effort and suffering… its composition was fraught with difficulty,” recalled his younger brother Modest. A school friend came to the rescue. The poet, Aleksey Apukhtin, suggested a visit to the monastery island of Valaam in Lake Ladoga near St Petersburg for some fresh ideas. Tchaikovsky refused but was lured on board a ship by the promise of delicious jam from the buffet. The trip inspired the symphony's second movement ‘Gloomy Land, Misty Land' with its haunting oboe that seems to echo over the Ladoga waters like a hymn. Founded in the 14th century, Valaam was a northern outpost of the Eastern Orthodox Church against pagans. Tchaikovsky was deeply entranced by its ancient monastery's unique a cappella style of singing called Znamenny Chant. Throughout his life he was at once immensely drawn to church services and at the same time tormented by contradictions in his faith. His search for inner peace is reflected in his Liturgy of St John Chrysostom and the All-Night Vigil. This Sunday Feature interweaves Tchaikovsky's music with Apukhtin's poem, A Year in a Monastery as well as the composer's letters. Just like Tchaikovsky, Lucy Ash ends up staying on Valaam for longer than expected due to a ferocious autumn storm on Europe's biggest lake. There she meets Brother Maxim, a young monk and a former import trader, and Father David, the head of a remote skete, or settlement of Orthodox monks, who happens to be a professionally trained jazz musician.

Fauré Piano Quartet no. 2, Op. 45Sheet MusicGabriel FauréChamber groupPiano Quartet no. 2, Op. 45The Piano Quartet, Op. 45, in the key of G minor, was written in 1886 and first published the following year. Dedicated to Pyotr Tchaikovsky, it features a regular piano quartet ensamble (piano, violin, viola, cello). It evokes classical structures through a late romatic, maybe pre-impressionist language.

This orchestra presents classical music in a new way: musicians play standing up and learn entire concerts by heart, without sheet music. On the road with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic and its conductor Kristjan Järvi.

Iolanta, Op. 69, is a lyric opera in one act by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. It was the last opera he composed. The libretto was written by the composer's brother Modest Tchaikovsky and is based on the Danish play Kong Renés Datter (King René's Daughter) by Henrik Hertz, a romanticized account of the life of Yolande de Bar. In the original Danish play, the spelling of the princess's name was "Iolanthe", later adopted for the otherwise unrelated Gilbert and Sullivan operetta of that name. The play was translated by Fyodor Miller and adapted by Vladimir Zotov. The opera received its premiere on 18 December 1892 in Saint Petersburg.

Episode 7, 2020: Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for strings Wednesday 29 July 2020 This week ANAM Music Librarian, Phil Lambert, talks about one of the most popular String Serenades by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. The story begins in 1868 when the master composer was putting together an anthology of Russian folk songs for piano duets. The arrangements are short and have simple harmonies. In September of 1880, Tchaikovsky was working on a commission to commemorate the victory of Russia over Napoleon, his famous 1812 Overture. Around the same time, he began jotting down ideas for another piece, convinced that a Serenade for a large string orchestra would permit him to create lush texture without having to take on the intellectual weight of a symphony. His Serenade for Strings was completed in November 1880. Its most interesting quality is how the simple Russian folk songs he composed 12 years prior came together with the rest of the composition to give the finale a very rustic romp. Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for strings is easily one of the string masterpieces that is still very popular to this day. Phil talks to ANAM alumnus Liam Oborne (violin 2019) who admitted he stopped enjoying performing it at some point, until performing it with Israeli violinist Gregory Ahss renewed his appreciation for this piece. Gregory directed and performed this piece with the ANAM string orchestra during his 2019 ANAM Residency. The performance featured in this episode is from ANAM’s Joy and Heartbreak concert.

Debating an atheist about evil is one thing, but how could we respond at the bedside of a dying child in the house of a desperate family? Dostoyevsky’s own son died at three years old, and interweaved in his Magnum Opus is a profound reflection on the result of tragedy––and how to keep tragedy from unraveling everything you care about.The featured oil on canvas is called Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837–1887). It was painted in 1883. I chose it because I think it perfectly depicts Grushenka: beautiful, mischevous and immoral. Grushenka is a central character in The Brothers Karamazov because she directly instigates the feud between Dimitri and Fyodor that leads to critical circumstantial evidence in Dimitri's murder trial.The featured piece is Piano Concerto No. 1 (Op. 23) - Allegro Non Troppo E Molto Maestoso by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840–1893), a Russian composer and contemporary of Dostoyevsky.LinksVisit our website: https://www.wellreadchristian.comCheck our our blog: https://www.wellreadchristian.com/blogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellreadchristianTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/WellReadChrist1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGxz4OH1-hVD0fL9AWR4Xg

Chris & Kelsey prepare for a bad winter this year and are surprised to find two holiday-themed horror flicks that don't suck! The Classic Film: Christmas Evil (1980) "A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree” (IMDb.com). This holiday favorite of camp icon John Waters is a slow boil but it's a surprisingly unique take on the killer Santa trope. It manages to take itself very seriously and still be fun at the same time. The Modern Film: A Christmas Horror Story (2015) "Interwoven stories that take place on Christmas Eve, as told by one festive radio host: A family brings home more than a Christmas tree, a student documentary becomes a living nightmare, a Christmas spirit terrorizes, [and] Santa slays evil” (IMDb.com). While the vignettes never should have been interwoven in the first place and some are not as good as the rest (::cough:: the students ::cough::), a delightful tone and killer ending really redeem this holiday anthology.

The problem of evil is one of the most cited arguments against Christianity and the existence of God in the modern age. Dostoyevsky’s brilliance articulated a potent blistering assault on the existence of God through Ivan Karamazov, a character who is as brilliant as he is passionate. The sentiment, “God does not exist––and I hate him!” could summarize his views, and the views of many atheists. But is atheism really better equipped to deal with the cruel realities life gives us? Is a tragic optimism, or even a deep insurmountable joy despite the tears, an unjustifiable position? It seems that despite the rage against God, atheism is not an intellectually consistent nor emotionally satisfying answer to the problem of evil.The featured oil on canvas is called Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837–1887).

The Brothers Karamazov (1880) is the pinnacle of Dostoyevsky’s literary and intellectual work. His critique of European Enlightenment ideas, including atheism, utilitarianism, socialism and utopianism, find their culmination in this profound tome. Dostoyevsky wrestles with the problem of evil, unlike in his previous major novels, and also perfects his summary of the problem of atheism: “Without God, anything is permissible.” Dostoyevsky also ventures forth into existential territory, asking and answering questions regarding the goodness of life in the face of suffering and whether free will is a gift or a curse. All of this and more in a riveting murder mystery, featuring love triangles and prison escapes, pious monks and the lowest sinners.The featured oil on canvas is called Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837–1887). It was painted in 1883. I chose it because I think it perfectly depicts Grushenka: beautiful, mischievous and immoral. Grushenka is a central character in The Brothers Karamazov because she directly instigates the feud between Dimitri and Fyodor that leads to critical circumstantial evidence in Dimitri's murder trial.The featured piece is Piano Concerto No. 1 (Op. 23) - Allegro Non Troppo E Molto Maestoso by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840–1893), a Russian composer and contemporary of Dostoyevsky.LinksVisit our website: https://www.wellreadchristian.comCheck our our blog: https://www.wellreadchristian.com/blogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellreadchristianTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/WellReadChrist1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGxz4OH1-hVD0fL9AWR4Xg

Pyotr Tchaikovsky composed and conducted his final symphony in 1893. He died 9 days later, after having knowingly drunk an unboiled glass of water during a cholera epidemic. Deep into the symphony, Symphony no. 6, there is a paradoxical passage that, when played, no one will be able to hear.  This is because Tchaikovsky scored it to contain a musical illusion. We uncover the mystery of why he put it there. Sound illusions reveal some of the most puzzling features of the human mind, most notably its insistence that it knows reality better than reality itself. On this episode, we listen to some of the most curious auditory illusions to find out how some of the features of sounds are generated by the human mind, rather than features of the external world. The illusions reveal something deep about some of the most treasured human endeavors, including music and language. Guest voices include Diana Deutsch, Casey O'Callaghan, and Christine Howlett.

Iolanta, Op. 69, is a lyric opera in one act by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. It was the last opera he composed. The libretto was written by the composer's brother Modest Tchaikovsky and is based on the Danish play Kong Renés Datter (King René's Daughter) by Henrik Hertz, a romanticized account of the life of Yolande de Bar. In the original Danish play, the spelling of the princess's name was "Iolanthe", later adopted for the otherwise unrelated Gilbert and Sullivan operetta of that name. The play was translated by Fyodor Miller and adapted by Vladimir Zotov. The opera received its premiere on 18 December 1892 in Saint Petersburg.

Music interacts with gender in surprising and strange ways: sometimes upholding the binary, sometimes undermining it. In this episode, we’ll talk to three people who’ve thought deeply about that dynamic and come up with their own interpretations of what it all means. First, we discuss how gender identities are constructed through music with Marcy Nabors, an independent composer. Then we talk to Musicology scholar Emily Masincup about how the musical motifs of the Lord of the Rings trilogy—known sausage fest—helped her enjoy the films on a deeper level. Finally, you’ll hear from Aiden Feltkamp, an opera librettist and producer, about “pants roles” and his fight to make opera more accessible and welcoming for LGBTQIA folks. SHOUTOUTS Check out the Bandcamp article Marcy references on the different ways composers are using Vocaloid audio. For more on Pyotr Tchaikovsky and how sexuality figured into his work, start with this book on his 6th, or Pathétique, Symphony. And here’s Joni Mitchell on her “sus chords.”

Every week thousands of songs are released to radio, on streaming platforms, on digital stores, on social media, mixtapes, & CD albums.

In our second annual Classical Classroom Summer Music Festival Series, we hit the (sound)waves at the Music Academy of the West in sunny Santa Barbara, California! All good things must come to an end, and...here we are. The final installment of our summer music mini-series features New York Philharmonic concertmaster (who used to be Houston Symphony concertmaster), Frank Huang. He talks about the job of a concertmaster, and about his own story of a life in two cities with two orchestras. Frank also discusses first being a student and then being a teacher and visiting artist at the Music Academy of the West, and he talks about what he's been doing at the MAW festival this summer. At the end of the interview, we kidnap him and bring him back to Houston. It's an action-packed thrill-ride! JK. There's no kidnapping. That's illegal! But we think you'll enjoy the conversation anyway. Music in this episode: - "We're Going to Be Friends," by the White Stripes. From White Blood Cells. - String Sextet in D minor "Souvenir de Florence", Op. 70 by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Audio production by Todd "Triple Double" Hulslander with editing by Mark DiClaudio and three-wheel motion by Dacia Clay. Copious thanks to the Music Academy of the West for all of their help with this mini-series and for letting us crash their summer music festival, with special thanks to Kate Oberjat (oh-bur-yacht) who has not missed a spot and who’s done an awful lot, and to Emma Levine, Barbara Hirsch and Anthony Paggett. Thanks to Scott Reed, Richie Hawley, Matthew Sinno, Jeremy Denk, Bill Williams, Matthew Aucoin, Cynthia Phelps, Thomas Hampson, and Frank Huang without whom these interviews would have been monologues. Thanks to KCRW in Santa Barbara and to engineer Kathryn Barnes.  May the Force be with you on your way back to school!

When you hear the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, pretty much the last thing that comes to mind is self-doubt (Hello?! The man wrote actual cannons into his music!).
