Roger Parker's recommendation for the ultimate recording of Puccini's opera Tosca.
Roger Parker recommends a recording of Brahms Double Concerto in A minor. The Double Concerto was Brahms' last orchestral work, composed in 1887. It was written partly as a gesture of reconciliation towards his friend the violinist, Joachim. The old friends had fallen out over Joachim's divorce. The concerto has been praised for its "vast and sweeping humour". It needs two brilliant and well matched soloists.
Roger Parker chooses his favourite recordings of Haydn's operas. Joseph Haydn is possibly one of the greatest composers who wrote operas which are hardly known. He wrote 17 of them, and opera occupied a great deal of his composing life. During the 1770s and 1780s, Haydn ran an opera company for his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. They put on up to 150 performances per year. Haydn's operas are not often performed today, but they contain some great music, which Roger explores.
How should we approach making career decisions? What should be the balance of logical analysis versus our “intuition”, and how can one guide the other? Also, are there lessons from how we make decisions in other contexts which we can apply to our career planning? In this episode, Roger Parker, former EMEA Managing Partner at global law firm Reed Smith, adviser to leaders and mentor to those beginning their careers at Resurgo, shares tips and advice on how we can approach career decision-making. Roger reflects also on how he needed to make decisions in his senior management roles and the principles which one can take from those approaches to decision-making related to our career paths. Roger considers a range of issues ranging from how one aligns with one's values to the importance of listening to feedback from your trusted circles of friends and colleagues. Also, Roger emphasises how important it is to balance risk and opportunity, to consider saying “no” to opportunities, and also to be patient and considered at times of uncertainty: having the confidence to “wait for the fog to clear” as one plans a next career step. Action for listeners: Spend 10 minutes making notes about these 3 career questions, and then discuss your answers with a trusted colleague: 1. In my current, and next role(s), what do I want to contribute? (Tip: think about your values, what is really important to you.) 2. Think about a potential next role you have considered and ask yourself: what would I be giving up, as well as gaining, if I took that route? (Tip: Think about networks you may lose, and also future opportunities in a current role which you would no longer have.) 3. If you are uncertain about a possible career route, stop and consider: what is driving that uncertainty? (Tip: Breaking down the uncertainty can help you to clarify what conversations, or data, you need before taking your decision.)
On this episode I'm talking with Dr. Nick Stevens about the intersections of opera and society in various historical moments—up to and including the present day. Nick is a musicologist (ecommerce production associate) for ArkivMusic, who has also taught most recently as the Visiting Assistant Professor in Musicology at the Wichita State University School of Music. His monograph, Crisis Mode: Opera as Form and Medium After the End of History, is under contract and due out within the next couple of years. On this show we discuss the "undoing of women" in traditional opera genres, the status of contemporary opera and its imbrication with neoliberal crisis, as well as musicological debates, working outside of academia, and more.

Roger Parker talks to Andrew about the wide range of approaches to one of Mozart's masterpieces, the Divertimento in E flat, K563, from classic recordings from the 60s and 70s to young ensembles' recent additions to the catalogue.
Roger Parker chooses his favourite version of Handel's Tamerlano.
One of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's greatest operatic achievements, Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) may not have been possible without the approval of Emperor Joseph II of Austria. The play it was based on by Pierre Beaumarchais was banned from theaters all around the world for its radical political statements and the poor outlook on aristocracy. Fortunately for audiences today, Mozart and his librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, managed to cut enough scandalous material to set and stage an opera.
