Interpreten: Anna ReichertLabel: Prospero ClassicalEAN: 4262353970638Johann Carl Eschmann – ein Name, der selbst eingefleischten Klassikliebhabern kaum geläufig sein dürfte. Und doch war der Schweizer Komponist ein hochgeschätzter Zeitgenosse von Mendelssohn und Brahms, letzterer empfahl ihn sogar persönlich seinem Verleger. Klaviermusik aus seiner Feder gibt es auf der jüngsten CD der Pianistin Anna Reichert kennenzulernen, die auch heute wieder Michael Gmasz näher vorstellt.Geboren in Winterthur, stammte Johann Carl Eschmann aus einer musikalischen Familie. Studiert hat er am renommierten Leipziger Konservatorium, unter anderem bei Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy und Ignaz Moscheles. Darüber hinaus pflegte Eschmann enge Kontakte zu bedeutenden Musikern seiner Zeit – darunter Richard Wagner, der ihm eine Serenade widmete, und Johannes Brahms, der ihn geschätzt und sogar seinem Verleger Simrock empfohlen hat. Und doch ist es ihm ähnlich ergangen, wie so vielen anderen auch. Er ist mehr oder weniger in Vergessenheit geraten. Seine Musik? Fein ziseliert, lyrisch, zurückhaltend – beeinflusst von Robert Schumann und seinem Lehrer Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Seiner Wiederentdeckung hat sich nun die junge Schweizer Pianistin Anna Reichert verschrieben.Auf ihrem neuen Album „Licht und Schatten“ präsentiert Reichert eine Auswahl von Eschmanns Klavierwerken. Und das tut sie mit einer Hingabe, die berührt: charmant, nuancenreich, mit spürbarer Vertrautheit zur Musik. Jeder Ton wirkt durchdacht, jeder Phrasierungsbogen liebevoll gestaltet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Suite Licht und Schatten op. 62, die mit poetischen Titeln wie Sommernacht in der Veranda (am Zürichersee), Durch Wald und Flur oder Phantome eine fast bildhafte Klangwelt eröffnet. Auch die Werke aus den Zyklen Grillenfang, Trösteinsamkeit und Frühlingsblüten zeigen Eschmanns Gespür für Stimmungen und musikalische Miniaturen. Ihre intensive Beschäftigung mit ihrem Landsmann Eschmann drückt Anna Reichert auch im selbstverfassten Beihefttext aus, in dem sie uns den Komponisten auch persönlich ein wenig näherbringt. Wer also Lust hat, einen Komponisten neu zu entdecken, der einst von den Großen geschätzt wurde, sollte unbedingt reinhören. (mg)

Ethel Smyth: componiste, activiste en queer feministe. En dan ook nog eens Dame, want ze werd als eerste muzikante ooit geridderd in Engeland. Clara en Sander geraken niet uitgepraat over deze vrouw die nooit ‘zomaar' iets deed. Ze componeerde heel wat meesterwerken bij elkaar, met als één van de hoogtepunten haar serenade. Haar eerste grote orkestwerk. Een aflevering vol power én het verhaal achter haar bijnaam ‘de componiste met haar tandenborstel'.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting soundscape of the Camargue, a region in southern France renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and iconic wildlife. This recording captures the mesmerizing nuptial dances of flamingos during their reproduction period, as they perform an intricate ballet of courtship rituals. The distinctive calls and gentle murmurs of these majestic birds create a symphony that is quintessentially Camargue. The sound is instantly evocative of this unique region, where white horses roam free, black bulls graze in the marshes, and pink flamingos add a touch of vibrant color to the landscape. Recorded by Colin Hunter.

Douglas Helvering's radiant Serenade to Music, performed by The William Baker Festival Singers. Tune in for an honest, insightful, and empowering episode for choral directors and singers alike.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Melodies of Váci Utca: A Serenade of Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-05-19-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Váci utca zsibongása mindig különleges hangulatot árasztott tavasszal.En: The bustling of Váci utca always exuded a special atmosphere in spring.Hu: A virágok ragyogóan nyíltak az ablakokban, az üzlettulajdonosok pedig színes kirakatokkal csábították a járókelőket.En: The flowers bloomed radiantly in the windows, and the shop owners lured passersby with colorful displays.Hu: Az utcát kellemes napsütés ragyogta be, és a levegő tele volt friss illatokkal.En: The street was bathed in pleasant sunshine, and the air was full of fresh scents.Hu: Levente, a fiatal utcazenész, szokásos helyén ült csellójával.En: Levente, the young street musician, sat at his usual spot with his cello.Hu: Minden egyes nap azon dolgozott, hogy muzsikájával megérintse az embereket.En: Every day he worked to touch people with his music.Hu: Bár sokan jártak arra, figyelmük mégsem őt kötötte le teljesen.En: Although many passed by, their attention was not completely captivated by him.Hu: Az emberek rohangáltak, fényképeztek, vásároltak a nevezetes Váci utca hangulatában.En: People hurried, took photos, and shopped in the renowned atmosphere of Váci utca.Hu: Eközben nem messze tőle, egy anyuka, Katalin, kétségbeesetten keresett valamit — vagy valakit.En: Meanwhile, not far from him, a mother, Katalin, was desperately searching for something—or someone.Hu: Fiatal fia, Ádám, kíváncsian bóklászott az utcán, elveszítve édesanyját a tömegben.En: Her young son, Ádám, was curiously wandering the street, having lost his mother in the crowd.Hu: Míg Katalin kétségbeesve szólongatta fiát, Ádámot elbűvölte az emberek sokszínű forgataga.En: While Katalin desperately called for her son, Ádám was enchanted by the colorful bustle of people.Hu: Levente épp egy jól ismert dallamot játszott, amikor észrevette a zavart a tömegben.En: Levente was playing a well-known tune when he noticed the confusion in the crowd.Hu: Katalin közelében állt meg pár pillanatra.En: He paused near Katalin for a few moments.Hu: Látta az asszony arcán az aggodalmat, és hallotta a könnyekkel küszködő kérlelést: "Ádám, hol vagy?En: He saw the worry on her face and heard her tearful pleading: "Ádám, where are you?"Hu: "Bár számos járókelő figyelt fel a káoszra, senki sem tudta, hogyan segíthetne.En: Although many passersby noticed the chaos, no one knew how they could help.Hu: Leventének ekkor támadt egy ötlete.En: Levente then had an idea.Hu: Abbahagyta a szokásos repertorárod, és elkezdett játszani egy dallamot, amit szerinte épp Ádám ismerhetett.En: He stopped his usual repertoire and began playing a tune he thought Ádám might know.Hu: A dallam lágy, otthonos volt, hasonlított arra a dalra, amit az anyja sokszor dúdolt neki.En: The melody was soft and homely, resembling the song his mother often hummed to him.Hu: Ádám a zaj kellős közepén hallotta meg a dallamot.En: Ádám heard the tune in the midst of the noise.Hu: Megállt és visszafordult a muzsika irányába.En: He stopped and turned back towards the music.Hu: A dallam emlékeztette az otthon biztonságára és édesanyja meleg ölelésére.En: The melody reminded him of the safety of home and his mother's warm embrace.Hu: Katalin nemsokára megpillantotta Ádámot Levente közelében állni, aki még mindig a dallamot játszotta.En: Soon, Katalin spotted Ádám standing near Levente, who was still playing the tune.Hu: Katalin odaszaladt, könnyes szemmel átölelte fiát.En: Katalin ran over and tearfully embraced her son.Hu: Nagyon hálás volt Leventének, akin keresztül annak muzsikája újra egyesítette őket.En: She was very grateful to Levente, through whom his music reunited them.Hu: Levente, bár korábban sosem gondolta, hogy a zenéjével ilyen hatást érhet el, most ragyogó tekintettel nézett végig a tömegen, akik most már őt is tapsolták.En: Levente, although he had never previously thought he could achieve such an impact with his music, now gazed with shining eyes at the crowd, who were now applauding him.Hu: Nemcsak figyelmet, de elismerést és szeretetet is kapott.En: He received not only attention but also recognition and love.Hu: A nap végén mindannyian hagyták, hogy a jövő reményteljesebb legyen.En: By the end of the day, they all allowed the future to be more hopeful.Hu: Katalin emlékeztetőül megtanulta, hogy figyelmesebben ügyeljen Ádámra, Ádám pedig megérezte, milyen fontos fenntartani a kapcsolatot édesanyjával.En: Katalin was reminded to pay more careful attention to Ádám, and Ádám realized how important it is to maintain a connection with his mother.Hu: Levente pedig látta, hogy muzsikája nemcsak szórakoztat, hanem segíthet is másokon.En: Levente saw that his music not only entertains but can also help others.Hu: A Váci utca lüktetett tovább, de mindhárom szereplő szívében valami megváltozott, és ez a változás mindnyájuk életét gazdagította.En: Váci utca continued to pulse, but in the hearts of all three characters, something had changed, and this change enriched their lives.

Within a few years, she was practicing classical music by day and gigging with Belfast bands by night.Suzanne talks about her deep connections with Belfast and its music scene, her varied musical influences, and how she balances her artistic endeavors with practical considerations. Suzanne tells of her jazz influences, international experiences, noteworthy performances, and the important community initiatives she supports in Belfast.In the Duncairn concert, she was backed by her Savage Five string ensemble for an evening of her contemporary art songs, a reminder that there's more than Trad to be had in the first UNESCO City of Music on the island of Ireland.Join us for a journey through the marvelous musical landscape of the stellar Suzanne Savage!And thanks to the Belfast Music Society for their warm welcome.LinksSuzanne SavageFacebookInstagramLinkedInTwitter/XBandcampYouTubePerformance: Singing Leonard Cohen with RTÉ Concert Orchestra Savage FiveWebsiteFacebookSeamus Plug - The People's Kitchen, BelfastFacebookAlbum: Kindness on the StreetsThe Duncairn Centre for Arts & CultureWebsiteFacebookEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 17; Total Episode Count: 120

When critics hinted Maurice Prendergast was getting a little repetitive as he approached 50, he could've hung up his brushes. After all, he'd been pretty successful. Instead, he headed back to where it all began--Paris--and came away reinvigorated with “a new impulse,” as he called it.   Today's episode takes us to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC. We'll find out how an idea that started with Congress just before the Depression led to an official modern art museum on the National Mall!   SHOW NOTES “A Long Look” themes are "Easy" by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs and “At the Cafe with You” by Onion All Stars https://pixabay.com/users/onion_all_stars-33331904/   Episode music “Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15 - IX.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Spring Serenade: A Journey Through Hősök tere's Magical Moments Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-03-29-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Hősök terének ünnepi zsongása tavasszal mindig különleges.En: The festive buzz of Hősök tere (Heroes' Square) in spring is always special.Hu: Színes virágok szegélyezik a teret, a szobrok hosszú árnyékot vetnek a nap melegétől, és húsvéti dallamok szűrődnek át a levegőn.En: Colorful flowers line the square, the statues cast long shadows from the warmth of the sun, and Easter melodies drift through the air.Hu: Áron, egy lelkes fotós, erre a különleges napra érkezett, hogy megörökítse a tavasz megújulását Budapest szívében.En: Áron, an enthusiastic photographer, arrived on this special day to capture the renewal of spring in the heart of Budapest.Hu: Áron szeme a tömeg felett barangolt, keresve a megfelelő pillanatot egy képkocka megörökítésére.En: Áron's eyes wandered over the crowd, searching for the perfect moment to capture in a frame.Hu: Ekkor megpillantotta Zoltánt, a tér zenészét, aki gitárjára hangolta az emberek szívét.En: He then spotted Zoltán, the square's musician, tuning the hearts of the people with his guitar.Hu: Áron megállt, hogy belemerüljön a dallamok szépségébe.En: Áron stopped to immerse himself in the beauty of the melodies.Hu: Zenéjének hatása alatt fényképezőgépét leeresztette, úgy döntött, hagyja, hogy a zene vezesse.En: Under the influence of the music, he lowered his camera, deciding to let the music guide him.Hu: Eközben Réka, aki a hely történelmét tanulmányozta, elmerült az elbeszélésekben és a téren található szobrok történeteiben.En: Meanwhile, Réka, who was studying the place's history, was engrossed in the narratives and the stories of the statues in the square.Hu: A zenészek hangulata azonban őt is megérintette.En: However, the musicians' atmosphere touched her as well.Hu: Ahogy fölnézett, észrevette Áront, aki valamit fényképezett, ami őt is érdekelte.En: As she looked up, she noticed Áron, who was photographing something that also interested her.Hu: Réka elsétált Áronhoz.En: Réka walked over to Áron.Hu: "Nagyon szép ez a zene, nem?En: "This music is very beautiful, isn't it?"Hu: " szólította meg mosolyogva.En: she said with a smile.Hu: Áron bólintott, szemeiben érdeklődés csillant.En: Áron nodded, a sparkle of interest in his eyes.Hu: "Igen, valóban különleges pillanat," válaszolta, és visszanézett Zoltán felé, majd Réka felé fordult.En: "Yes, it's indeed a special moment," he replied, looking back toward Zoltán, then turning to Réka.Hu: "Te is itt készülsz valami felfedezni?En: "Are you also here to discover something?"Hu: "Réka elmosolyodott, és egy lépéssel közelebb lépett.En: Réka smiled and took a step closer.Hu: "Igen, a hely történelmi jelentősége mindig lenyűgöz.En: "Yes, the historical significance of the place always fascinates me.Hu: És te miért fényképezel itt?En: And why are you photographing here?"Hu: " Áron elmagyarázta neki szenvedélyét az élet megörökítése iránt, azt, hogy szereti megmutatni a pillanat varázsát másoknak is.En: Áron explained his passion for capturing life, and how he loves sharing the magic of the moment with others.Hu: Miközben beszélgettek, Zoltán gitárjára finoman zongorált, a háttérben közös dallamtérré varázsolva őket.En: As they talked, Zoltán gently played on his guitar, transforming the background into a shared melody space for them.Hu: A zene és az érdeklődés köréjük szőtte történetüket, megnyitva az új ismeretség kapuját.En: The music and their mutual interest wove their story, opening the gate to a new acquaintance.Hu: Ahogy a délután a végéhez közeledett, Áron és Réka együtt hagyták el a Hősök terét.En: As the afternoon drew to a close, Áron and Réka left Hősök tere together.Hu: Közösen fedezték fel, hogy nem csak a fotózás vagy a történelem köthet össze két embert, hanem az apró, megosztott pillanatok is.En: They discovered together that it's not only photography or history that can connect two people, but also the small, shared moments.Hu: Most, az új, közös út elején, látták, hogy Budapest sokkal többet rejtett számukra, mint azt valaha is képzelték volna.En: At the beginning of their new, shared path, they realized that Budapest held much more for them than they had ever imagined.Hu: Így Áron megtanulta becsülni a környezetével való mélyebb kapcsolatot, Réka pedig rájött, hogy a történelem tanulmányozását a személyes tapasztalatokkal is gazdagíthatja.En: Thus, Áron learned to appreciate a deeper connection with his surroundings, and Réka realized that studying history can be enriched by personal experiences.Hu: Új kaland kezdődött számukra, amely nemcsak a város, hanem egymás világát is új fényben láttatta.En: A new adventure began for them, shedding new light not only on the city but also on each other's worlds.

Interpreten: Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, Reinhard GoebelLabel: Berlin ClassicsEAN: 885470030227Im August 2023 hat das Mozarteumorchester Salzburg eine neue CD Edition bei Berlin Classics begonnen. Chefdirigent Roberto González-Monjas dirigierte damals Serenaden von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nach Bruckner, Henze und Richard Strauss kehrt das Mozarteumorchester Salzburg auf seiner jüngsten CD nun unter Reinhard Goebel wieder zurück zu Mozart. Die Mozartkugel rollt wieder, und das bereits zum fünften Mal. Gemeint ist damit natürlich die stilisierte Mozartkugel in buntem Stanniolpapier, diesmal im Farbton Apricot, auf dem Cover der aktuellen CD-Reihe des Mozarteumorchesters Salzburg. Die sogenannte Posthornserenade von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, also die Serenade in D-Dur KV 320, hat Reinhard Goebel mit den Musikerinnen und Musikern des Mozarteumorchesters in den Mittelpunkt der gemeinsamen Arbeit gestellt. Umrahmt von den zwei Märschen in D-Dur KV335.  Schon die ersten Klänge des ersten Marsches verheißen Großes. Hier wird Mozart nicht als klassische Pflichtübung gesehen.Das wäre aber unter der fundierten Leitung von Reinhard Goebel auch gar nicht möglich. Zu sehr brennt der alte Musik Spezialist für alles, was er macht. Sei es Veracini, Bach, Telemann oder, wie hier, Mozart. Historisch informiertes Musizieren bedeutet für Goebel in erster Linie Musizieren! Und dann kommen seine wissenschaftlichen und spielpraktischen Erfahrungen und Ansätze dazu. Und das merkt man auch hier bei Mozart. Schön frisch und knackig spielt das Mozarteumorchester, man spürt nach den ersten Einleitungstakten, wenn das Allegro con spirito Fahrt aufnimmt, wie die Musikerinnen und Musiker sich mit Goebel einschwingen. Dass diese Serenade genauso gut Oboen-, Flöten- oder Fagottserenade heißen könnte, zeigen die Sätze drei und vier, in denen sich die angesprochenen Instrumente bzw. deren Spielerinnen und Spieler in Höchstform zeigen. Den Ehrenplatz mit dem Titel hat sich aber das Posthorn mit seinem Solo im zweiten Trio des zweiten Menuetts verdient. Auch sehr schön. (mg)

American conductor Marin Alsop was the first woman to lead major orchestras in the UK, South America and in the United States, becoming principal conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 2007. Nominated for Grammy Awards five times, in 2013 she became the first ever woman to lead the Last Night Of The Proms, and is now regarded as one of the greatest conductors in the world. She talks to John Wilson about her professional musician parents who nurtured her love of music and supported her career choice from the age of 9 when she first revealed she wanted to be a conductor. Marin also talks about Leonard Bernstein, the great American composer and conductor, who inspired her ambitions and later became a mentor to her. She also chooses Carl Jung's work The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, and explains how his theories have helped her in leading orchestras around the world.Producer: Edwina PitmanMusic and archive used: Serenade in C major for String Orchestra, Op. 48; Valse, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, New York City Ballet Orchestra, 1986 Irish Spring commercial: "Clean as a Whistle" 1980 Leonard Bernstein, Young People's Concerts: "What is Classical Music?", CBS Television, 24 January 1959 Omnibus: Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, BBC2, 10 May 1985 Archive of Leonard Bernstein and Marin Alsop at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, 1987 Leonard Bernstein, Young People's Concerts: "What Does Music Mean?", CBS Television, 18 January 1958 Archive of OrchKids concert, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4, 26 July, 2005 Rhapsody in Blue, George Gershwin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop Last Night of the Proms, BBC1, 7 September 2013 Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, "Resurrection", Gustav Mahler, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop

In this week's Big Up, Let Down segment, we've got some real talk and wild stories. First, an unsung hero in Boulder, Colorado, swapped out typical traffic signs for some blunt advice, like one reminding drivers to “Get Off Your Damn Phone” and another that says, “Don't Kill Any Kids Today.” Then, the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Explorer of the Seas got a little too adventurous while sailing from Barcelona to Miami. After hitting a sudden storm off Tenerife, the ship tilted 14 degrees, sending furniture sliding and glass shattering—while Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On blared through the speakers, adding an eerie soundtrack to the chaos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
