Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason was born in Nottingham in 1999 into a big musical family. He and his six siblings all grew up learning classical instruments, and appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2015. Sheku first made his mark as a solo performer the following year when he won the BBC Young Musician Of The Year competition. In 2018 a global audience of over a billion watched him perform live at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Since then he has received two classical Brit awards, An MBE for services to music, and performed at the Proms every year since 2017. His book The Power Of Music charts his creative journey, whilst his new album - his fifth release - includes recording of works by Shostakovich and Britten. Sheku talks to John Wilson about the early influence of his paternal grandfather, a classical music lover who encouraged an appreciation of chamber music, including Schubert's Trout Quintet. Sheku also discusses his cellist heroes Jacqueline du Pré and Mstislav Rostropovich and explains how the music of reggae superstar Bob Marley has been an inspiration throughout his life.Producer: Edwina Pitman
Tänk på mig! Så säger pastor Britta Hermansson i Långfredagens andakt. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Det är långfredag och Jesus lider korsdöden tillsammans med en förbrytare på varsin sida.Tänk på mig när du kommer med ditt rike stönar en av dem fram mitt i smärtan. Det borde bli den sämsta responsen av alla. I dödsögonblicket, torterad och på väg ge upp andan. Vem skulle då komma på att tänka på något annat än sitt eget lidande? Men här är det så annorlunda. Mitt i världens smärta som Jesus bär upp på korset så sträcker hans omsorg sig också till den som är allra närmast honom. Den som lider det brutala straffet för sitt eget handlande. En vidrig tortyr.Jesus, tänk på mig när du kommer med ditt rike… Allt är snart över och den fysiska smärtan på väg ta slut. Tänk på mig. Jesus gör mer än lovar att komma ihåg förbrytaren i dödskampen. Han svarar: Idag ska du vara med mig i paradiset.Det som ser ut att vara det största nederlaget bär hoppet om ett annat rike.Text:Psaltaren 22 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se
Idag på Skärtorsdagen möter vi Britta Hermansson, pastor i Equmeniakyrkan, som talar om den skälvande närvaron av Jesus. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:En liten glittrande fisk slog med stjärten i min mage. Så beskrev en kvinna sitt möte med Jesus när hon böjde knä vid en altarrund och tog emot en tunn, skör liten oblat som hon doppade i bägaren med vin och lade på tungan medan hon hörde orden: Kristi kropp för dig utgiven. Kristi blod för dig utgjutet. Svåra och mystiska ord, men så hände det. Sakta smälte oblaten och ville fastna ett ögonblick i gommen, smaken av vinet klingade av, men något var annorlunda.En beröring som blev så avgörande för resten av vandringen genom livet. Någonting vibrerar, darrar till i mellangärdet. Det är en beröring i ögonblicket och en visshet att återvända till när livet gör ont eller det mörknar i världen.Text:Psaltaren 119 och Kor 1 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se
Vi är mitt inne i Stilla veckan och idag möter vi Britta Hermansson, pastor i Equmeniakyrkan, som tar sin utgångspunkt i Jesu bönbok. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Jag längtar alltid efter ett språk som är begripligt. Särskilt för en så stor kristen högtid som påsken. Det är en allvarstyngd vecka och inte minst lever vi med en stor oro i världen. När oron slår till eller kryper inpå i ens eget liv, så är det svårt att tänka på annat. Jag läser ur Psaltaren, den bok Jesus ofta återvände till som sin bönbok. I Jesus egen bönebok finns ett språk som hjälper mig i Stilla veckans dramatik. Språket överraskar lite i den här översättningen av Eugene Peterson. Gud, nu är det dags! Svara, Gud, med kärlek! Svara och lova mig frälsning! Rädda mig ur träsket; låt mig inte gå under för gott…Vad finns nu i ditt liv som oroar? Kanske en utflugen mening som du nu tror eller vet har sårat någon. En behandling som kanske inte botar, en konflikt i din närhet, relationer som inte hittar fram eller världens hårda ordväxlingar och ett klimat som inte går att känna igen.Nu finns tid att följa Jesus och att be om hjälp med det som behöver få ett språk. Vad är det i ditt eget liv och i vår värld som du just nu vill ta med in i påskens stora drama?Text:Psaltaren 69 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

New Classical Tracks - Plinio Fernandes (radio edit) by Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)“For me, playing the guitar gives me a sense of identity, because it's something that I have been doing since I was very, very young,” guitarist Plinio Fernandes says. “I don't really remember my life that well before I was 6 or 7, which is when I started to play. Like brushing my teeth, drinking water, showering and breathing, I just have to play a couple of notes and feel like that grounds me.”Fernandes is a Brazilian guitarist who grew up surrounded by music. As his father's guitar rested on the sofa, Fernandes would pluck a few strings. Before he knew it, he was headed to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music. That's where he met his roommate, friend and musical colleague, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Fernandes and Kanneh-Mason recently completed a tour in support of Fernandes' second recording, Bacheando.Fernandes says the album's name is just a made-up word inspired by the title of Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras and as an homage to the great German master Johannes Sebastian Bach.How does the music of Bach and the rich culture of Brazil come together on this recording?“Villa-Lobos, our greatest composer of all time, who really reshaped Brazilian culture, was massively influenced by Bach. His contemporaries were massively influenced by that connection between Villa-Lobos and Baroque music. In addition to taking the pieces that already existed, Sergio Assad was one of the arrangers and composer on the album. He wrote a piece inspired by that concept to pair with the Prelude, Fugue and Vivace.”One of your favorite pieces by Bach, the Prelude, Fugue and Allegro, is at the heart of this recording. Why is this one of your favorite pieces?“Very simply, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. And I grew up listening to it. The three movements represent to me what perfection is.”How did the piece that Assad created for you come about?“I came to him and we were discussing the repertoire for the album and said, ‘Sergio, I would love to have you writing something specifically for that.' And then he was very keen on doing something that he first wrote, the Prelude and Fugues. It's the first fugue that he has ever written, which is quite something and a privilege to have that. And then it just kept on growing until it became this little suite of three movements.”Can you talk about what it means when you're describing colors in playing the guitar? “I was basically trying to use everything that the instrument has to offer. I think it is a very specific thing to the guitar. One can talk about the colors that you create with the piano, but with the guitar … you use both of your fingertips to produce the sound, so it's a very personal thing. Depending on the size of your fingers or the length of the nails, each person will have a very particular and unique sound.” Listen on YouTubeTo hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.ResourcesPlinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Amazon)Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)Plinio Fernandes (official site)

How do you manage your blood sugars when you've got TWO BILLION pairs of eyes on you?Well, if you're as focused as world-renowned cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, it's just another day. The particular day I'm referring to is playing at the Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan in 2018. As you do.Sheku is of the most celebrated and in demand cellists in the world, achieving astronomical success at the age of just 23. But in speaking to him it's clear that his motivation is purely in the act of playing and sharing his great love of music. That being said, garnering two classical BRIT awards, a GQ cover, collaborations with some of the world's most celebrated musicians and an MBE to his name while managing type 1 diabetes since the age of 12 more than deserves to be acknowledged.In this episode we discuss Sheku's life of travelling and playing, his concert rituals, how the support of his family has helped him deal with his condition, why being open about his type 1 diabetes is important - and how he strategically used to prick his fingers to avoid desensitising his playing hand before moving onto a CGM. ‘Type 1 diabetes has become less of a standout issue in my life,' he says. Here's to that.

A founding songwriter and vocalist of Clean Bandit, Love Ssega is hugely in demand for his collaborative work across genres from pop to visual art. He is currently the Philharmonia's artist in residence. Ssega came with some truly epic Elgar played by Sheku Kanneh Mason, a serious ear worm of an opera chorus by Verdi, and introduced Jess to the incredible voice of Alice Smith (she's been listening to her on loop since). Meanwhile Jess played Ssega Vivaldi arranged by Max Richter, some 12th century vocal music by Hildegard von Bingen, and an elegy to the environment by Marvin Gaye.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason — Song (Decca) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - The Knights by “Song really speaks to the vocal quality I find in all the pieces of music that I selected for my instrument,” cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason said about expressing his artistic freedom on his latest solo recording, Song. ”The cello has such a wonderful ability to sing in all of these different styles and combinations of instruments in arranging while improvising. The cool singing quality of the cello is something I enjoy exploring. I enjoyed making this album and it is very personal for me.” Can you talk about the opening arrangement on the album? “There's something very direct about these folk melodies. I made this arrangement just for solo cello with no harmony because I wanted to just appreciate the bare bones of the melody. I just wanted to play like that. “There's so much music on this recording, which uses the cello in different ways. I wanted to start with something very pure and the sound of a solo cello line. The voice of the cello develops throughout the disc and ends with a piece of pizzicato solo cello.” What was the title of the work you arranged for your grandmother? “The title is Myfanwy and I love the expressiveness of the falling intervals.” Are you playing this trio all by yourself? “Yes. I recorded three voices of just me. It's actually harder than I thought it would be to play with myself. Normally when I'm playing with other people, I'm in the room and I can physically feel what they are doing. But when it's coming through a headphone you're playing in a slightly different experience. It was a cool way to do it.” Can you talk about the Bach work arranged for four cellos? “On that one, I was less lonely. I convinced four friends to play with me. I had my current teacher, one of my previous teachers and a couple of friends who have mentored me to join me on the album.” Can you talk about the world premiere of Edmund Finnis' Five Preludes? “I love the first prelude. There's a conversational and intimate feeling about it. The music speaks to me. I feel that I'm able to speak with it because it's music that doesn't shout out to grab your attention. Rather, it draws you into this intimate conversation. This intimacy is something that I enjoy exploring and performing.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

We all remember the royal wedding of Prince Harry to the American actress, Meghan Markle, in 2018. I remember getting up early to watch it streamed live as I know many Americans did. Serendipitously, a classical cellist performed in the ceremony that day to a global audience of 2 billion people, in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. That cellist, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, has since charted a meteoric rise to prominence. This month, he makes his New York Philharmonic debut. He's also just released an album with his sister, the brilliant pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. Both Sheku and Isata join me on the Classical Post podcast today to discuss this new album called Muse, released on the Decca Classics label, featuring gorgeous works by Rachmaninoff and Barber. Listen to this discussion about how these siblings create art together. But also, hear a brief snapshot into Sheku's New York Philharmonic debut and what it was like for him performing at the royal wedding. -- Classical Post explores the intersection of classical music, style, and wellness, diving into meaningful conversations with leading artists from an array of different backgrounds.

The ‘Cello Concerto' by Elgar is the most famous piece for solo cello accompanied by an orchestra. The beautiful, rich sound of the cello is captivating. But, we also sense loneliness: the cellist seems to be searching for something. In this episode I share insights into the piece and I answer the questions ‘What is a Concerto?' and ‘What is Texture?'. This episode features the first movement from the ‘Cello Concerto' by the composer Edward Elgar. I recommend the recording by the London Symphony Orchestra, featuring the cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Further information: www.athousandpictures.com/episode9.
