The tenor Russell Watson's remarkable career took him from playing from working mens clubs in Salford to performing at the Vatican. But his life hasn't been completely charmed - he discusses the brain tumour that threatened his life as well as his voice and how he found his way back to centre stage.Jackie Kay is one of the UK's most lauded poets who turned to writing as a child as a sanctuary from the difficulties of life as an adopted, if much loved, half-Nigerian child in Scotland. A new BBC One documentary tells her story "In Her Own Words"; we'll be asking why she wanted to do that. Doctor-turned-comedian-turned-author Adam Kay's first book This Is Going To Hurt sold over 3 million copies and was adapted into a multi award-winning TV series. Now he's taken another career turn into children's fiction with a new character – Dexter Procter, the ten year old doctor. As an actress Deborah McAndrew played Angie Freeman on Coronation Street in the 1990s. She left the Rovers Return behind long ago for a career as a writer and her latest play tells the story of the night an Unidentified Flying Object landed near Stoke-on-Trent's Bentilee housing estate. The show draws on multiple eyewitness accounts from the time to create a warm and funny depiction of an extraordinary event happening to very ordinary people. Plus music from The Lemon Twigs's latest album A Dream Is All We Know. Presented by Nihal Arthanayake Produced by Olive Clancy

In episode #112, the TM team welcomed professional photographer Wesley Simpson. Wesley shares his incredible journey into the world of photography, offering insights and experiences he's gathered along the way. From working on the popular TV show Hollyoaks to serving as a personal assistant to opera singer Russell Watson, Wesley tells his experiences, leaving no stone unturned.

"I had this inner feeling that something would happen to take me away from my mundane life". The first twenty years of Russell Watson's life were very ordinary. He grew up in Salford, left school at 16 with almost no qualifications and joined the government's Youth Training Scheme. By the age of 20, he was working on the shop floor of a factory, making nuts and bolts. He started singing in local pubs and working men's clubs after winning a local talent competition organised by Manchester Piccadilly Radio. It was tough, and Russell considered giving up - until one night in Wigan changed everything. Russell has gone on to become one of the UK's most popular classical artists, selling over 7 million records and performing for notable figures including Pope John Paul II, members of the Royal Family and the Emperor of Japan. Tickets for his Magnificent Buildings concert tour are available at russellwatson.com

The world-renowned tenor Russell Watson never planned to be a recording artist, instead dreaming of football stardom as a young boy. “It was daydreams really. I was never any good,” he confesses. His rise to fame saw him move from imitating crooners in backstreet pubs to performing for the Pope, the late Queen Elizabeth II and two US presidents. Along the way, he's sold more than 7 million albums, won multiple BRIT awards and worked with musical legends including Paul McCartney and Luciano Pavarotti. Yet at the height of his fame, he came close to death. Brain tumours caused the then 40-year-old to suffer a brain hemorrhage while lying in bed one night, resulting in emergency surgery. These events rocked his world – and cemented his faith. He tells Premier Christianity's Emma Fowle the full story.

Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are joined in the pod by comedian Rob Auton and Man United supporting singer Russell Watson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“KRISTINA FRAN DUVEMALA” es el musical del que se sienten más orgullosos Benny Andersson y Björn Ulvaeus, ex componentes de ABBA, que adaptaron la tetralogía de Vilhelm Moberg, que narra la emigración de unas familias desde Suecia a América, huyendo de la pobreza y la rigidez religiosa en el país a mediados del siglo 19. El trabajo de Bjorn Ulvaeus para condensar las cuatro novelas en un musical de casi cuatro horas, así como la maravillosa partitura de Benny Andersson fueron alabadas por la crítica que dijo que era la pieza de teatro musical más ambiciosa desde “Porgy and Bess” y la más seria y elegante desde los tiempos de Rodgers y Hammerstein. La obra se mantuvo casi cuatro años en cartel en Suecia pero los autores tras el fracaso de su musical “Chess” en Broadway, desconfiaron del éxito del musical fuera de su país y trabajaron con Herbert Kretzmer, letrista de “Los Miserables” para hacer la adaptación al inglés, que presentaron en una versión en concierto en el Carnaggie Hall de Nueva York en 2090 y en el Albert Hall de Londres en 2010. Esta versión en concierto en inglés se grabó en disco y es la que hemos utilizado para el podcast. Prácticamente es la misma versión que la original, aunque algunos momentos se sirven de un narrador para pasar de una escena a otra. En el reparto están Helen Sjöholm como Kristina, repitiendo el personaje que creó en 1995 y al que ha quedado asociada de por vida. Russell Watson es Karl Oskar, Louise Pitre es Ulrika y Kevin Odekirk es Robert. 00h 00’00” Skördefest 00h 01’36” Presentación 00h 04’19” Cabecera 00h 05’22” Inicio 00h 06’03” Overtura 00h 10’13” Paths of leaves and needles 00h 12’01” Where you go I go with you 00h 18’03” Stone King 00h 21’08” Down to the sea 00h 25’32” Bad harvest 00h 32’53” No 00h 38’11” He’s our pilot 00h 40’16” Never 00h 46’14” Golden wheatfields 00h 48’32” All who are grieving 00h 52’31” We open up the gateways 00h 56’47” Peasants at sea 01h 01’14” Lice 01h 06’32” In the dead of darkness 01h 10’35” A Sunday in Battery Park 01h 15’30” Home 01h 19’34” American man 01h 24’31” Dreams of gold 01h 28’20” Summer rose 01h 32’59” Emperors and Kings 01h 37’16” Twilight images calling 01h 43’54” Queen of the praire 01h 50’02” Wild grass 01h 56’30” Gold can turn to sand 02h 03’43” Wildcat money 02h 07’59” A miracle of God 02h 12’30” Down to the waterside 02h 14’50” Miscarriage 02h 16’41” You have to been there 02h 23’13” Here I am again 02h 30’17” With child again 02h 33’00” Rising from myth and legend 02h 36’02” I’ll be waiting there 02h 42’41” Curiosidades y anécdotas 02h 44’20” Aldrid

No one would have believed that in the last years of the 1970s, a concept album based on the H.G. Wells novel would have such a profound and lasting impact on those who heard it. Few men even considered the possibility that it would it re-emerge in the 21st century as a live theatrical experience, featuring Russell Watson and Marti fucking Pellow. And yet, across the gulf of 4 decades, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this record as a peerless masterpiece, whilst Gary Barlow slowly and surely drew his plans against us. 

The new album Christmas with Aled and Russell is out now.

The new season is here for the Prophets and they start by discussing the life of Bill Russell, what he meant toward the NBA and as a civil rights activist. Later, they discuss the Watson case, was the 6 games justified and will the NFL win the appeal. Lastly, the Prophet Theory is back, how it did last year and what's in store to come. Special guest, Henry Myrick, comes on to discuss his favorite player and what Bill meant to him.

Gabe & Jay are back for a special episode of the Connection. First they remember the legendary Bill Russell before discussing the Deshaun Watson fiasco, The Dolphins/Tom Brady tampering scandal and more wild topics in a loaded edition of The Richi & Meko Connection!

Bryson reacts to Bill Russell's passing at the age of the age of 88 and why his legacy will always be remembered not only for his remarkable playing career but his incredible impact off the court. He then reacts to Deshaun Watson's 6 game suspension and the massive ramifications that it will have for the NFL given their history of personal conduct suspensions, Deebo's new big deal with the Niners, Darnold and Baker splitting first team reps, and the Dallas Cowboys once again being valued as the most valuable sports franchise in the world. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bryson-carver/message

When Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti teamed up for their first joint performance on 7th July, 1990 in Rome, it was intended as a one-off collaboration to celebrate the FIFA World Cup.  But the concert triggered instant worldwide fame for the trio, who became known as The Three Tenors, and their live recording became the biggest-selling classical album of all time. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how, by mixing showtunes with opera, the Tenors created the ‘classical crossover' genre that spawned Russell Watson, Il Divo and Katherine Jenkins; explain how Carreras' recovery from leukemia was the reason for the concert coming together; and reveal how their iconic Nessun Dorma encore was nearly not included at all… Further Reading: • ‘TENORS, ANYONE?

What images come to mind when you hear the terms trailer park or mobile home park? You may think of run-down communities with stray dogs and men walking sporting wife-beater tops. That stereotype is what led to the birth of the name “manufactured” homes and their communities. Many manufactured home communities in Florida have beautiful dwellings with fabulous amenities such as pools, gyms and pickle ball courts. Design a mid-century style manufactured home in your dream venue and you'll be set.

We begin this week's programme with edited highlights from the ceremonial funeral for His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, held yesterday in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, under strict Covid restrictions. Every detail of the service was planned in advance by the Duke himself, to reflect personal elements of his life and his close military ties. There was no eulogy singing his praises, no sermon, and no family readings. Instead, the Duke chose Bible passages, prayers and sacred music which reflected his deep Christian faith. In death, there is no rank or seniority - we are all equal in the sight of God, and yesterday's service placed Her Majesty the Queen and her family alongside every other bereaved person. As we listen to the extracts from yesterday's service, my prayer is that anyone feeling lost and alone at this time might, in these moments, also feel the consoling love that is God's gift, as He stands alongside all who are in pain or distress. Later in the programme, we hear a very different story of re-discovering the joy in life, with some very unexpected help, and the innocence of a 5-year-old brings joy and simplicity to the familiar words of the Lord's Prayer - and there's music from Aled Jones and Russell Watson, too! With the reopening of our churches this week, events and special services will be resuming too, so do please let me have details for our Notice Board, and for inclusion in my Sundown community news too. My email address is judithley@manxradio.com and you can use the same address to send me details of your favourite hymn, for inclusion in a future edition of AT YOUR SERVICE - I'd love to hear from you!

Gordon Rytmeister. Drummer from Sydney, Australia. When you look at the upper echelon of any field, there's usually a handful of people that come to mind, right? Within the Australian drumming community, Gordo is one of those people. You only need to google his name to see the enormous body of work he's amassed over his 3 + decades on the instrument. And that work continues, as he's still one of the most in demand drummers around. Attitude, facility and reliability keep Gordo as that first call guy, be it sessions or live gigs for jazz, big band, pop, rock, fusion and even metal. Some of the people Gordon has worked with are: Don Burrows, Steve Hunter, James Morrison, Australian Idol House Band, Steve Vizzard Show, Bob Mintzer, Emma Pask, Mark Costa, Leo Sayer, Bob James, Tom Jones, Bob Florence, The Commodores, Bob Geldof, Barry Harris, Nat Adderley, Maria Schnieder, Lee Konitz, Glenn Shorrock (from Little River Band), Alex Koritni, Tina Arena, The Sydney All Star Big Band, Roger Frampton, Bobby Shew, Anthony Warlow, Russell Watson, Rob McConnell, Don Rader, Dale Barlow, Eartha Kitt, Jimmy Barnes and many, many more.

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Robert Emery, a concert-pianist turned conductor and Musical Director. He’s worked at venues from London's Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House and with some of the top names in the world of music such as the UK’s best-selling classical artist Russell Watson and Stewart Copeland, drummer from The Police. He’s also the host of Backstage with Robert Emery, a new podcast featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with star musicians and top-level performers.   If you’re a member of Musical U or familiar with this show then you’ll know we have a pretty firm stance on the idea of musical “talent” and its implications for the adult music learner. We’re always excited when we have the chance to interview someone who’s considered “talented” or “gifted” and see what we can learn from their backstory and their own attitude to music learning.   On paper, Robert’s a classic case of the child prodigy, a talented musician who saw great success at an incredible pace as both a pianist and then a conductor. And I wouldn’t for a second detract from that or question his amazing abiltiies. But as you’ll be hearing, there is some interesting subtlety to the story. And as Robert would be the first to tell you, all of his accomplishments and the praise he receives - it has been earned through hard work, not just an effortless “gift”.   He’s also a very experienced music teacher and so has some very helpful insights and advice for the adult music learner in particular.   We talk about:   • How to choose the right instrument - and how to know whether you have or not.   • The particular challenges of learning music as an adult and how to overcome them - the pep talk he used to give his new adult students on day one that proved to be worth its weight in gold for them.   • Robert’s views on talent, nature versus nurture, and what that means for the average adult music learner.   It comes across clearly in his own podcast that Robert is a lovely guy with wisdom aplenty to share and so I knew this conversation would be a fascinating one.

El enorme éxito de Claude Michel Schönberg con los musicales, ha hecho que pase desapercibida para el gran público su faceta como compositor más allá de sus triunfos teatrales. Su inclinación por la música arrancaría  desde su infancia ya que como Schönberg recuerda desde bien niño, mientras otros niños daban regalos a sus madres por su cumpleaños, él le regalaba canciones que le había compuesto. Formó un conjunto musical en el que cantaba y tocaba el piano que le servía para ganar algún dinero con que pagar sus estudios, ya que la muerte de su padre cuando sólo tenía 14 años les había dejado en una situación bastante precaria. En una de sus actuaciones fue descubierto por un ejecutivo de la discográfica Pathé-Marconi EMI, que le ofreció un contrato como director artístico. Schonberg produjo canciones para artistas como Gilbert Becaud. Conoció al director de orquesta Franck Pourcel que le produjo su canción “Le premier pas” en 1974 y estuvo 16 semanas en el  número uno de éxitos, vendiendo más de un millón de copias. Posteriormente grabaría seis discos de larga duración con canciones suyas que le produciría Franck Pourcel. Hemos seleccionado alguno de aquellos temas cantados en francés por el propio compositor en 1974 y otros adaptados al inglés y cantados por Russell Watson en 2013, así como canciones de éxito que compuso para la canadiense Martin St. Claire. También trabajó para el cine escribiendo la música para las películas L’école est finie (1979) y Le caviar rouge (1985). Terminaremos con dos amplias secciones musicales de sus ballets para el Northern Ballet Theatre Company "Wuthering Heights" en 2001 y en 2011 "Cleopatra". En definitiva un músico con mayúsculas que comenzó escribiendo y cantando sus propias canciones, compuso éxitos para otros y ha trabajado en musicales, bandas sonoras para el cine e incluso ballets. 00h 00'00" Presentación 00h 01'22" Cabecera 00h 01'57" Presentación años setenta 00h 02'17" Le premier pas (Claude Michel Schonberg) 00h 07'00" Redevenir petit (Claude Michel Schonberg) 00h 10'11" Without you (Russell Watson) 00h 14'08" My love & I (Russell Watson) 00h 18'07" Presentación años ochenta 00h 18'33" Ce soir l'amour est dans tes yeux (Martine St. Clair) 00h 24'54" Il y a de l'amour dans l'air (Martine St. Clair) 00h 29'39" Duel d'amour (Martine St. Clair) 00h 33'28" Presentación bandas sonoras 00h 33'53" Le caviar rouge 00h 36'59" Alex et Nora 00h 38'52" Tzigane 00h 41'56" Presentación Wuthering Heights 00h 42'20" The wind 00h 46'18" The arrival 00h 51'00" Growing up 00h 57'14" The dinner party 01h 05'25" Edgard & Cathy 01h 10'45" The return 01h 18'57" Wedding dance 01h 23'24" Heathcliffe, Cathy & Isabella 01h 30'53" The death - Epilogue 01h 40'37" Presentación Cleopatra 01h 40'49" Wadjet 01h 45'32" Wedding of Cleopatra & Ptolomy 01h 51'16" Cleopatra & Caesar 01h 57'16" Journey on the Nile pt 2 01h 59'36" Birth of Caesarion 02h 02'35" Caesar and Cleopatra's arrives at Rome 02h 06'40" Cleopatra & Mark Anthony 02h 12'36" Life of pleasure 02h 18'16" The loves of Cleopatra 02h 23'00" Cleopatra's death Espero te haya gustado

Sin duda Claude Michel Schönberg es con Andrew Lloyd Webber el compositor de musicales más famoso de Europa. Schönberg con “Los Miserables” y Lloyd Webber con “Cats” hicieron temblar a los que creían que el teatro musical era patrimonio de los americanos. Las preventas en Broadway de “Miss Saigon” o “El Fantasma de la Ópera” superaron todas las expectativas demostrando que en el campo del musical no todo estaba dicho. Llegaban nuevas voces que conectaban con el gran público como no se conocía desde mucho tiempo atrás. Cuando Alain Boublil escuchó en la radio una canción que le gustó llamó a la emisora interesándose por el nombre del compositor de la misma y así surgió el “principio de una bonita amistad”. Ambos compartían la afición por la ópera y por el teatro musical y hoy en esta playlist vamos a dar un repaso a los musicales de Schonberg y Boublil. "La revolution française" (1973) fue el musical en el que Alain Boublil, que escribia las letras con Jean-Max Riviére llamó a Schönberg para que se encargase de la música con Raymond Jeannot. Aquel sería su bautismo en el campo del musical que les animaría a escribir un musical ellos dos solos. Y así llegarían Los Miserables (1978), "Miss Saigon" (1989), "Martin Guerre" (1996) y "The Pirate Queen" (2007) y hemos preparado una playlist de forma que te contaremos un poco de cada musical antes de dejarte algunos de los mejores temas del mismo en las voces de Hugh Jackman, Anthony Warlow, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, Susan Egan, John Owen Jones, Jonathan Pryce, Simon Bowman, Claire Moore, Peter Polycarpou, Russell Watson, Marie Zamora, Rebecca Lock, Ian Glen, Joanna Riding, Jerome Pradon, Stephanie J.

Comenzamos el año con Benny Andersson, un músico que ha conectado con el público de varias generaciones ya que sus canciones siguen triunfando desde 1974 cuando ganó con el grupo ABBA y su "Waterloo" el Festival de Eurovisión. Compositor de tantas y tantas canciones que han dado pie a éxitos pop, musicales y películas, vamos a dedicarle dos playlist, en esta primera nos centraremos en su faceta de músico más intimista, dejando otras composiciones suyas para un segundo volumen que hemos titulado "Lo que pudo ABBA sido y no fue". La prestigiosa casa discográfica Deustche Grammophon, dedicada principalmente a la música clásica, le publicó un disco titulado "Piano" con 21 temas suyos, elegidos por él mismo, que abarcan los más de 40 años de su carrera, en el que ha evitado las más populares canciones del grupo ABBA y que es una maravilla escucharlos al piano, desnudos de arreglos ampulosos y artificios mostrando la música tal como la concibió. Recuerdo una entrevista cuando presentaba el musical Kristina fran Duvemala en el Carneggie Hall de New York que manifestaba: "Quiero que sepan que además de las canciones que están triunfando dos calles más abajo en el teatro donde se representa "Mamma mia", también escribo otro tipo de música", Y es que además de  su enorme capacidad  como compositor es un músico que domina el piano y el acordeón entre otros instrumentos como apreciamos en sus composiciones. Hemos combinado temas instrumentales de su disco en solitario con otros de la BAO Benny Andersson Orkester que podéis escuchar en la primera hora y media de esta playlist, a la que seguirán canciones suyas interpretadas por la BAO con Helen Sjöholm y Tommy Körberg que estrenaron sus musicales "Chess" y "Kristina fran Duvemala", su obra más ambiciosa de la que hemos incluido siete temas con los que cerramos esta playlist.

Comenzamos el año con Benny Andersson, un músico que ha conectado con el público de varias generaciones ya que sus canciones siguen triunfando desde 1974 cuando ganó con el grupo ABBA y su "Waterloo" el Festival de Eurovisión. Compositor de tantas y tantas canciones que han dado pie a éxitos pop, musicales y películas, vamos a dedicarle dos playlist, en esta primera nos centraremos en su faceta de músico más intimista, dejando otras composiciones suyas para un segundo volumen que hemos titulado "Lo que pudo ABBA sido y no fue". La prestigiosa casa discográfica Deustche Grammophon, dedicada principalmente a la música clásica, le publicó un disco titulado "Piano" con 21 temas suyos, elegidos por él mismo, que abarcan los más de 40 años de su carrera, en el que ha evitado las más populares canciones del grupo ABBA y que es una maravilla escucharlos al piano, desnudos de arreglos ampulosos y artificios mostrando la música tal como la concibió.
