It's entirely possible that we would not know the name of Johannes Brahms very well if Brahms hadn't met Joseph Joachim as a very young man. Joachim, who was one of the greatest violinists of all time, had already established himself as touring soloist and recitalist, and he happened to know the musical power couple of Robert and Clara Schumann quite well. Joachim encouraged Brahms to go to Dusseldorf to meet the Schumann's, and the rest is history. I've talked about the Brahms-Schumann relationship dozens of times on the show before, but to keep it very brief, Robert Schumann's rhapsodic article Neue Bahnen(new paths) launched Brahms' career, and until Schumann's deterioration from mental illness he acted as a valued friend and mentor for Brahms. Clara Schumann, as a performer, was a powerful advocate for Brahms' music as well as a devoted and loving friend throughout the rest of their lives. Almost constantly present in this relationship was the sound of Joseph Joachim's violin. Brahms did not have a huge circle of friends, but for the often difficult to get along with composer, Joachim was a musical and spiritual companion. Brahms' legendary violin concerto was written for him, and the two collaborated closely for the entire course of their musical lives, except for one significant break. Brahms and Joachim were estranged for 7 years, until Brahms reached out with a remarkable conciliatory gesture: a concerto for Violin and Cello and that would be dedicated to Joachim. Brahms and Joachim(as well as Brahms and Clara Schumann) had often resolved disputes through music, and this was no exception. Clara Schumann gleefully wrote in her diary after Joachim had read through the piece with cellist Robert Hausmann: "This concerto is a work of reconciliation - Joachim and Brahms have spoken to each other again for the first time in years.” One would expect that a work like this would be beloved, but the Double Concerto has had a checkered history, which we'll also get into later. Clara herself wrote that it lacked "the warmth and freshness which are so often found to be in his works,” It would turn out to be Brahms' last work for orchestra, and one of the few in his later style, which makes It fascinating to look at from a compositional perspective. Partly because of the cool reception it got in its first few performances, and the practical challenges of finding two spectacular soloists who can meet its challenges, the piece is not performed all that often, though I have always adored this piece and am very grateful to Avi who sponsored this week's show from my fundraiser last year before the US election. So let's dive into this gorgeous concerto, discussing the reasons for Joachim and Brahms' break, their reconciliation, the reception this piece got, and then of course, the music itself! Join us!

About Ghost MusicIt's only been a month since Dawn's musician husband, Clark, suddenly died. When his former student shows up with missing pages from Clark's unfinished book, voices from the pages are reawakened. A portal from the past cracks open, transporting us back to German Romanticism and renowned pianist Clara Schumann. As she desperately tries to preserve the dignity of her husband, the brilliant composer Robert Schumann, he descends further and further into madness. Separated by a gulf of both time and space, Dawn and Clara grapple with grief and lunacy, and the hope that long-ago melodies can heal their broken hearts.This production is sponsored in part by the AthensWest Emerging Play Grant awarded to the theater program and sabbaticals for both Dr. Greg Partain and Professor Tosha Fowler. The production will feature a team of professional actors and a director working in residence at Transylvania. The production will include the live musical performance of Dr. Greg Partain as an essential component of the play's concept and design. Professor Tosha Fowler will be helming the role of Clara as well as head producer. Professors Daniel Bennett and Melissa Gilbert will lead the design team.For more and to connect with us, visit https://www.artsconnectlex.org/art-throb-podcast.html

Robert Schumann is a big name in classical music. However, in his own lifetime, Robert Schumann wasn't “the” Schumann. His wife was the famous one. Clara Schumann was an internationally known virtuoso who delighted audiences for 60 years, including the periods before, during, and after her eight pregnancies, Robert's illness, and eventual death.

«Ein Roman in vier Teilen mit himmlischer Länge» - so bezeichnete Robert Schumann die Sinfonie Nr. 8 in C-Dur von Franz Schubert. Das sinfonische Meisterwerk, auch bekannt als die «Grosse C-Dur», galt mit einer Dauer von etwa einer Stunde zu Schuberts Lebzeiten als das längste Instrumentalwerk überhaupt. Die Sinfonie beeindruckt noch heute mit ihrer epischen Länge und künstlerischen Tiefe. Ihre Entstehungsgeschichte war lange Zeit unklar: Obwohl das Manuskript das Jahr 1828, Schuberts Todesjahr, trägt, geht man davon aus, dass das Werk früher komponiert wurde. Schubert hat die Sinfonie allerdings nie gehört, sie wurde nicht aufgeführt, da sie als «unspielbar» und zu lang galt. Erst 1839 wurde sie von Robert Schumann entdeckt und im gleichen Jahr von Felix Mendelssohn im Gewandhaus Leipzig uraufgeführt. In der Diskothek stehen fünf Interpretationen von Schuberts Grosser C-Dur-Sinfonie zur Diskussion. Gäste von Eva Oertle sind die Musikpublizistin Verena Naegele und der Dirigent Manuel Oswald.

Beethovens Sinfonie Nr. 4: Verschiedene Interpretationen im Vergleich – ein Live-Mitschnitt vor Publikum . Die Dritte ist die Heroische. Die Fünfte die mit dem berühmten Schicksalsmotiv. Und die Vierte? Robert Schumann nannte sie «griechisch schlank», Ludwig Rellstab «ein gereiztes Raubthier». Ja, was nun? Entstanden ist Beethovens 4. Sinfonie im Spätsommer 1806. Ein Jahr später, 1807, wurde sie im Palais Lobkowitz in Wien uraufgeführt: «Ein Werk, sprühend vor Genialität, Feuer und Effect». Mit diesen Worten feierte ein Rezensent der Allgemeinen musikalischen Zeitung das neue Werk. «Allzu bizarr, unverständlich und abschreckend», lautete dagegen das Verdikt in einer anderen Rezension derselben Musikzeitschrift. Ja, was denn nun: genial, bizarr – oder beides zusammen? An Beethovens Vierter scheiden sich offenbar die Geister. Denn sie steckt voller Widersprüche. Und genau das macht die Diskussion darüber so spannend! Annelis Berger vergleicht verschiedene Interpretationen im Gespräch mit der Komponistin und Geigerin Helena Winkelmann und dem Dirigenten und Cellisten Matthias Kuhn.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1908, the Hoffman String Quartet gave a recital at Boston's Potter Hall, opening their program with a Romantic classic, Robert Schumann's String Quartet from 1842, followed by much more modern fare — Debussy's String Quartet written in 1893.And to close their program, the Hoffman Quartet premiered a brand-new contemporary work: a piano quintet by American composer Amy Beach, with the composer at the piano.The Boston Globe's critic noted “the audience was of goodly proportions and very demonstrative in its appreciation of Mrs. Beach's composition,” but (critics being critics), did a little nit-picking, concluding, “The work is thoroughly good, though a little too choppy at times.” The critic from The Boston Evening Transcript had fewer nits to pick, writing: “The quintet begins in the luminous key of F-sharp minor, and throughout Mrs. Beach modulates freely … [she] has sought a modern sonority of utterance … Her rhythms spurred the ear, and her harmonies [have] tang and fancy … In imagination, feeling, and expression, it is distinctly rhapsodic. Mrs. Beach can think musically in truly songful melodies, and such are the themes of her new quintet.”Music Played in Today's ProgramAmy Beach (1867-1944): Piano Quintet; Garrick Ohlsson, piano; Takács Quartet; Hyperion CDA-68295

Robert Schumann und seine innere Zerrissenheit. Vielmehr: Schumann war psychisch krank, vielleicht aufgrund einer Syphilis-Erkrankung, es könnte aber auch eine bipolare Störung gewesen sein. Jedenfalls war es offenbar ein ziemliches Auf und Ab mit Angstzuständen und Wahnvorstellungen, zwischendurch muss er wieder sehr klar gewesen sein. Im Februar 1854, kurz vor Fasching, wurde es ganz plötzlich besonders schlimm und in einem unbeobachteten Moment schlüpft er aus der Düsseldorfer Wohnung, nahe am Rhein. Und landet: mitten im Karnevalszug.

This weekend, Interlochen collaborative pianist Hyemin Kim presents the first recital in a yearlong series at the Music House Museum.

Eng verzahnt er Klavier- und Orchesterpart und schreibt der Pianistin seines Herzens eine höllisch schwere Solokadenz auf den Leib. Von Michael Lohse.

These days I find myself in a pensive, troubled state, very much in need of the kind of consolation that only music can provide. A number of years ago, I published a pair of episodes featuring the sublime Margaret Price performing music of mourning and consolation. Today's episode presents an expanded and refurbished version of the second of those episodes, in a program composed entirely of art song, moving through a sequence of emotions surrounding loss. Composers include Johannes Brahms, Giuseppe Verdi, Robert Schumann, Enrique Granados, Franz Schubert, Grace Williams, Sergei Rachmaninov, Felix Mendelssohn, Philip Cannon, Hugo Wolf, Alban Berg, Maurice Ravel, Franz Liszt, Peter Cornelius, and Richard Strauss, and collaborating pianists and conductors include Claudio Abbado, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Cyprien Katsaris, Geoffrey Parsons, and Neville Marriner, as well as frequent collaborators James Lockhart and Thomas Dewey. A thorough traversal of the song repertoire by one of the supreme recitalists of the late 20th Century. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty, My Favorite Things, and Women Holding Things comes a moving meditation in words and pictures on remorse, joy, ancestry, and memory. REGISTER In Conversation with Alex Conner Maira Kalman's most autobiographical and intimate work to date, Still Life with Remorse is a beautiful, four-color collection combining deeply personal stories and 50 striking full-color paintings in the vein of her and Alex Kalman's acclaimed Women Holding Things. Tracing her family's story from her grandfather's birth in Belarus and emigration to Tel Aviv--where she was born--Maira considers her unique family history, illuminating the complex relationship between recollection, regret, happiness, and heritage. The vibrant original art accompanying these autobiographical pieces are mostly still lifes and interiors which serve as counterpoints to her powerful words. In addition to vignettes exploring her Israeli and Jewish roots, Kalman includes short stories about other great artists, writers, and composers, including Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Gustav Mahler, and Robert Schumann. Through these narratives, Kalman uses her signature wit and tenderness to reveal how family history plays an influential role in all of our work, lives, and perspectives. A feat of visual storytelling and vulnerability, Still Life with Remorse explores the profound hidden in the quotidian, and illuminates the powerful universal truths in our most personal family stories.

This is a great piece for beginners who have started to play separately with the hands. Robert Schumann wrote the whole "Album for the Young" Op. 68 for his three daughters to learn piano properly, and still to this day it's a great educational resource for getting started with a romantic conception of piano playing. Henrik Kilhamn takes you through the short piece in this video. Update dec 2024: Sorry for lagging behind in podcast uploads; I'm catching up with a few episodes already published on youtube.
