Podcasts about ravel

This podcast introduces a recently released, diverse programme of works for guitar trio bound by the common thread of music inspired by stories from literature, stage or screen. Performed by the Volterra Project Trio, the album's seventeen tracks take us from the rhythmic exuberance and tragic beauty of Bernstein's West Side Story to the evocative poetry of childhood in Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. The presenter is Raymond Bisha.

This was Tarun Krishnamurthy's second NYTimes crossword. It was just as good as his first, and considering that he wrote it while still in high school, we can anticipate him constructing a long, long string of great puzzles. A few clues (not mentioned in the podcast) of note include 26D, Get tangled up, RAVEL (oh, so that's what happens when you don't UNRAVEL); 36D, A sixth of the way through the hour, TENPAST (uh, oh, math

I so enjoyed making this latest episode in my collaboration with G Henle Publishers. I talked with two absolute experts in their fields, Norbert Mülleman and Stefan Knüpfer, all about how to edit Ravel's music, and how to create the Ravel sound on the piano. This episode definitely veers into some very nerdy territory, but Norbert and Stefan are both so brilliant at explaining very high level concepts in a way that anyone can understand, from a person who has never looked at a score to a professional performer. I think everyone will learn a lot from this episode and I don't think you'll ever hear Ravel the same way again after listening! Enjoy!

ESSENTIEL, UN MONDE DE LIVRES Josyane Savigneau reçoit Karol Beffa compositeur, pianiste et universitaire, pour ses livres sur Ravel et Satie « En avant la musique ! Maurice Ravel » aux éditions des Equateurs « Erik Satie de A à Z - Un musicien à la plume fantasque » aux éditions Flammarion. À propos du livre : « En avant la musique ! Maurice Ravel » paru aux éditions Equateurs Mondialement célèbre pour son emblématique Bolero, Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) était un prestidigitateur de la musique. Minutieux jusqu'à la perfection, fasciné par les contraintes, il fut le compositeur de tous les défis : la difficulté était pour lui source de beauté. Mais Ravel était aussi un esprit fantaisiste, un éternel enfant. Grand amateur de voyages, ce dandy à l'élégance raffinée alla puiser une part de son inspiration dans les musiques anciennes, espagnoles, orientales, ainsi que dans le jazz. Maître de l'harmonie, de la forme, de l'orchestration, ce fut un créateur de sortilèges, un magicien des sons. Le compositeur et pianiste Karol Beffa lève le rideau sur « l'énigme Ravel ». Dans un style vif et enlevé, il nous fait pénétrer dans le secret de son atelier, nous révèle ses étonnantes fréquentations et nous initie à son art de vivre, à ses manies de collectionneur, à son goût de la solitude et de la marche. Comme l'écrivit Léon-Paul Fargue, « Ravel fur un poète précieux et noble, un musicien du genre fine lame, un hidalgo gentil et probe, un être au coeur d'or ».     Coup de coeur des libraires ?? « C'est en qualité de musicien que Karol Beffa nous invite à percer les secrets de composition de ce magicien de la musique qu'était Maurice Ravel. Perfectionniste à l'extrême, soucieux du moindre détail, l'auteur du Boléro a révolutionné son art par une orchestration raffinée, des harmonies complexes et des textures rythmiques innovantes, créant des atmosphères riches et nuancées qui ne laissent pas de fasciner. Un vibrant hommage à un génie musical souvent perçu comme énigmatique, mais profondément humain ! » Librairie Compagnie (Paris) A la fois compositeur, pianiste, musicologue et écrivain, Karol Beffa, artiste franco-suisse, incarne une carrière artistique exceptionnelle, et témoigne d'un goût et d'une parfaite connaissance de l'histoire de la musique. À propos du livre : « Erik Satie de A à Z - Un musicien à la plume fantasque » paru aux éditions Flammarion Satie ne fut pas qu'un musicien. Il n'a cessé d'accorder une attention toute particulière à l'écriture, il a multiplié les jeux de mots, les calembours, les formules faisant mouche, qui peuplent ses partitions et les rendent reconnaissables entre toutes. Épistolier souvent drolatique, décontenançant ses correspondants par son agressivité ou ses incongruités, aphoriste à ses heures, il a laissé quantité de textes, dont le présent ouvrage offre une sélection. Au fil de sa plume incisive, les souvenirs intimes succèdent aux portraits de compositeurs ou aux caricatures. Ses opinions tranchées donnent un tableau réjouissant de la vie musicale et culturelle de son temps et dressent en creux un portrait farfelu de ce musicien bien connu. Compositeur et pianiste, Karol Beffa enseigne à l'École normale supérieure. Il a été titulaire de la chaire de Création artistique au Collège de France en 2012-2013, et a été sacré meilleur compositeur aux Victoires de la musique 2013. Il est l'auteur d'une biographie de György Ligeti (2016), de Parler, composer, jouer : Sept leçons sur la musique (2017) et, avec Cédric Villani, de Les Coulisses de la création (Champs-Flammarion 2017).

This is episode 57 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast. To get your free pdf of "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know," reach out to Fred Diamond on social media. [NOTE: This podcast does not replace medical treatment. If you struggle with Lyme care, please see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.] For decades, Lyme disease survivors have faced an uphill battle—dismissed by doctors, forced to wait years for appointments, and left without clear paths to healing. In this powerful episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme Podcast, Fred Diamond speaks with Dr. Monica Embers, a leading Lyme disease researcher at Tulane University and contributor to The Quiet Epidemic, and Kevin Williams, co-founder of Ravel Health and a chronic Lyme patient of 18 years. Dr. Embers shares the hard truth: “There is no central place for patients to turn.” She explains why outdated diagnostic tools, lack of federal investment in treatment research, and misinformation have left millions without answers—and how new tests and targeted therapies are finally changing the game. Kevin Williams opens up about the deeply personal reasons he and co-founder, Jaime Intile, created Ravel Health: to spare others the years of pain and medical gaslighting they endured. Ravel now offers accessible, virtual, Lyme-literate care across 46 states with no waitlists and personalized treatment plans.

The comedian, writer and podcaster Adam Buxton first burst onto our TV screens 30 years ago. He and his friend Joe Cornish created The Adam and Joe Show, which featured pranks, songs and re-enactments of famous films like Titanic and Trainspotting using their childhood stuffed toys. Along with work on radio and film, an eye for the weird and wonderful quirks of music videos, and a multi-award winning interview podcast, he has also written two memoirs. The first, Ramble Book, included a very poignant account of his father's final months, when he lived with Adam and his family until his death at the age of 91. More recently, his book I Love You Byeee! includes reflections on losing his mother – as he says, ‘to death – we didn't get separated in a shop.' And both books include plenty of musings on growing up and his many personal obsessions. Adam's musical choices include Ravel, Grieg and Thelonious Monk.

Ravel Morrison joins the podcast this week, and might just be the most surprising guest we have ever had on Undr The Cosh. Ravel lifts the lid on the lies, rumours, and misconceptions so many people have about him and why he never lived up to his potential. From a young age, Ravel had eyes on him as he came through the ranks at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, where he was widely regarded as the best talent in the academy. With a dressing room full of world-class professionals like Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Cristiano Ronaldo, it's hard to understand why so much of that talent went unfulfilled. Despite his raw ability, Sam Allardyce managed to get glimpses of his best including that unforgettable goal against Tottenham but after agent disputes, he was forced out the door and once again labelled a “bad egg.” After moving abroad, Ravel hit the lowest point in his career under Simone Inzaghi at Lazio before rediscovering his love for football playing in Mexico. And of course, in true Undr The Cosh fashion, we get the full story behind his obsession with tuna, the infamous incident involving Lee Clark's pond, and why Gary Neville once lost it and smashed his phone. Ravel opens up about the people who lied about him, his beef with Zaha and explains exactly where things went wrong and why a player with his level of talent never fulfilled his full potential.

I saw a wonderful band called FERLA on Saturday night with some friends. The lead singer was bald with his hair completely gone up top, but at the back where it still grew he'd let it go out into a mullet! Awesome. His voice reminded me of the singer from that band Future Islands who did the incredible spot on Letterman like ten years ago.   Then on Sunday morning I went to an 11am performance of Chopin's Piano Sonata no. 2 and a few pieces by Ravel, at Tempo Rubato in Brunswick. That was also a magical performance and has had me humming the Funeral March from the Chopin Sonata all week. I had a great show in Bendigo on Thursday, and have another one coming up in Brisbane this weekend!

En medio de un nuevo intento por modificar el proceso electoral en curso, el Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE) ha rechazado categóricamente la solicitud de cancelar 26 candidaturas enviadas por el Senado y la Cámara de Diputados. La consejera Dania Ravel, presidenta de la Comisión de Prerrogativas y Partidos Políticos y del Comité de Radio y Televisión del INE, explicó en entrevista con Manuel López San Martín que la petición es improcedente, pues excede las atribuciones del legislativo y del propio INE. El Senado pidió cancelar 26 candidaturas, pero el INE dice “no” “No tenemos la facultad de hacer la cancelación de esas candidaturas”, afirmó Ravel, quien detalló que la solicitud se basa en supuestos como la falta de promedio mínimo de 8 en licenciatura o presuntos antecedentes penales de las y los aspirantes. A juicio del Consejo General del INE, estos argumentos no son suficientes ni oportunos para justificar una cancelación en esta etapa del proceso. Además, la consejera fue tajante en recordar que la ley es clara: “El Senado no puede pronunciarse sobre la elegibilidad o idoneidad de las candidaturas, y lo que está haciendo con los escritos que nos mandan es, de facto, hacer ese pronunciamiento”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the gold rush of generative AI, it seems that every legal tech vendor wants to be a one-stop shop for legal technology. But after 15 years of developing legal tech, Nik Reed, CEO of Knowable, a legal technology company devoted to helping enterprises bring order and organization to their executed agreements, believes that lawyers should be wary of the hype. Often, the most successful AI solutions are those that focus on solving specific problems exceptionally well rather than attempting to be all things to all lawyers.  On today's LawNext, Reed joins host Bob Ambrogi for a conversation that explores what makes legal AI actually work well in practice. It is a topic he has been thinking about, in one form or another, since he was still a student at Stanford Law School, where he co-founded the legal research startup Ravel with classmate Daniel Lewis in 2012. After LexisNexis acquired Ravel in 2017, Reed moved into strategic product management there, and then joined Knowable in 2019 to lead its product research and development. He became the company's CEO last November, just as the company launched Ask Knowable, its generative AI suite.  In a conversation that explores what makes legal AI actually work in practice, Reed emphasizes the critical importance of pristine data environments, high-quality metadata, and clearly defined use cases. “It's still hard to build really good products, especially for lawyers, and it takes a lot of hard work,” Reed says. “ And anyone that's telling you that that's not the truth is probably already a product that you shouldn't be using.” But ultimately, he believes, AI has the potential to restore balance to legal practice by handling the rote work lawyers never wanted to do, allowing them to return to what they went to law school for – critical reasoning and solving complex problems.

Debussy and Ravel are often described as the prototypical musical impressionists. It is often said that the two composers are the closest equivalents to the artistic world of Monet, Renoir, Pisarro, Degas, and others. But both Ravel and Debussy (like Monet for that matter), vehemently rejected the term Impressionism, and they both felt that they were striking out on their own individual paths in their msuic. That didn't stop the public and critics from constantly comparing the music of these two shining lights of French music, despite the fact that Ravel and Debussy are actually quite different. Comparing Ravel and Debussy is a bit like comparing Haydn and Mozart. At first glance, there are many similarities, but if you look and listen more closely, Ravel and Debussy(like Mozart and Haydn) had totally different approaches, goals, and styles. All of the constant comparisons and attempts at making the composers compete with each other had a real impact on Debussy and Ravel. Initially they were friends and mutual admirers of each others work, but they slowly drifted apart over time until they stopped speaking to each other altogether. We'll talk about this complicated personal relationship, as well as looking at these differences in their music, not from a critical standpoint, but from the perspective of bringing out what is so wonderfully unique about their music. We'll also talk about Ravel's arrangements of two Debussy's greatest orchestral works: his two piano arrangement of Debussy's Nocturnes, and his piano 4 hands arrangement of the legendary Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Join us on another collaboration with G Henle Publishers!

This past March 7 would have been the 94th birthday of the great French coloratura soprano Mady Mesplé. This episode begins a new series of episodes devoted to “Queens of the Night,” the surprisingly wide variety of sopranos who at one time or another sang this role. After a sampling of Mesplé singing this role (in French), we also hear back to back comparisons with Janine Micheau (Mesplé's teacher) and Mado Robin (one of Mesplé's most famous predecessors); a Gounod duet with Nicolai Gedda; a stunning avant garde showpiece composed expressly for Mesplé; a series of mélodies by Debussy, Roussel and Ravel; a live late-career performance of Poulenc's final composition, the dramatic monologue La Dame de Monte-Carlo; an effervescent live 1969 performance of Zerbinetta's aria; and a deeply moving recording of La Mort de Socrate by Erik Satie. Further proof, if such were needed, of Mesplé's versatility, virtuosity, and profound musicianship and humanity. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Magician, Swiss Watchmaker, Aloof, Elegant, Precise, Soulful, Childlike, Naive, Warm: these are all words that have been used to describe Maurice Ravel, a man of elegant contradictions. But perhaps these contradictions are why his music remains so beloved and universally appealing to so many musicians and audience members. Ravel has long been one of my favorite composers, and I always adore listening to his music and performing it. For the 150th anniversary of his birth, the legendary publishing house of G Henle has decided to focus on Ravel and his circle this year, calling this series Ravel and Friends. A few months ago, the Henle office contacted me to ask if I would be willing to collaborate with them on a series of Sticky Notes episodes about Ravel, each one focusing on the relationship between Ravel and another composer who was in his circle. This sounded like an amazing idea, and so I jumped at the chance to work with them. So, over the course of the next 5-6 months, you will be seeing 5 episodes under the Ravel and Friends theme. Today's episode will be a chance to do an overview on Ravel himself and to take a look at some major works that I haven't gotten around to covering on the show yet. We'll then finish the show with an interview with the great pianist Boris Giltburg, as we discuss the solo piano verison of Ravel's La Valse, one of the most challenging pieces in the entire repertoire. Later episodes will include a look at Ravel's relationships with Debussy, Gershwin, and De Falla, and much more! This is such an exciting chance to take a deeper look at one of the greatest 19th and 20th century composers, as well as take a look at the broader musical and social trends of that era, something I've always been deeply interested in.
