Axelle Thiry et Marina Chiche nous emmènent sur les pas de Camilla Wicks, une prodigieuse violoniste née en 1928. Très vite, elle fait une carrière flamboyante. Les orchestres se l'arrachent, le public est conquis et la presse, unanime. Quand Camilla Wicks pose l'archet sur la corde, tout le monde retient son souffle. Alors qu'elle est au sommet de la gloire, elle décide de renoncer à sa vie de concertiste pour se consacrer à sa famille et à ses cinq enfants. Les hasards de la vie lui feront renouer avec la scène et reprendre sa carrière des années plus tard. Camilla Wicks était aussi une excellente pédagogue, d'un talent et d'une générosité sans faille. Elle nous a laissé des enregistrements de légende, notamment du Concerto de Sibelius. L'invitée d'Axelle Thiry est Marina Chiche, violoniste, célèbre depuis sa nomination remarquée aux Victoires de la musique classique. Elle est aussi musicologue et productrice d'émissions sur France Musique.

This Day in Legal History: United States v. Carolene Products Co. DecidedOn April 25, 1938, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in United States v. Carolene Products Co., 304 U.S. 144, a seemingly mundane case about a federal law banning the interstate shipment of “filled milk.” But beneath its surface lay one of the most consequential footnotes in American constitutional history. The Court upheld the statute under a rational basis review, affirming Congress's authority to regulate economic activity. However, in Footnote Four of the majority opinion, Justice Harlan Fiske Stone proposed a bold and lasting idea: not all legislation should be treated equally when it comes to judicial review.Stone suggested that while economic regulations would generally be upheld if they had a rational basis, laws that appeared to conflict with specific constitutional prohibitions or aimed at "discrete and insular minorities" might require stricter scrutiny. This footnote planted the seed for what would become the modern system of tiered judicial scrutiny—rational basis, intermediate scrutiny, and strict scrutiny—used to assess the constitutionality of laws under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses.Though Footnote Four was not binding, it became one of the most cited and influential passages in constitutional law. It signaled a shift away from the Lochner-era deference to economic liberty and toward more robust judicial protection of civil rights and liberties. The idea that courts have a special role in protecting politically powerless groups fundamentally shaped later decisions in cases involving racial discrimination, free speech, and voting rights.In this way, a case about dairy regulation became a cornerstone of modern constitutional doctrine. Carolene Products illustrates how even minor legal disputes can produce major legal revolutions—one footnote at a time.In a rare display of bipartisan unity, the U.S. government is making significant legal advances against Big Tech, with Meta and Google facing tough antitrust scrutiny in simultaneous court cases. In separate proceedings in a Washington federal courthouse, the FTC is attempting to break up Meta, while the DOJ is pressing Google over illegal monopoly practices, including deals to pre-install its AI on smartphones. These efforts reflect years of legal groundwork laid across both the Trump and Biden administrations, showing that concerns over Big Tech's power and influence transcend party lines—even if the motivations differ. While Democrats emphasize market concentration and data control, Republicans have focused on censorship and political bias. Despite court momentum, legislative action remains stalled, hindered by political polarization and disagreements over broader issues like content moderation and China policy. The bipartisan front could fracture as political dynamics shift, especially with Trump signaling a more cooperative stance toward tech companies–or at least a willingness to extract rents from them.Meta, Google Hammered in Court in Sign of Rare Left-Right Unity - BloombergThe American Bar Association (ABA) laid off over 300 employees after the Trump administration cut $69 million in federal grant funding, according to a new lawsuit filed by the ABA against the Department of Justice. The organization alleges the cuts were politically motivated retaliation for its support of diversity initiatives and criticism of the administration. The terminated grants had funded legal aid programs for domestic violence victims and immigrants, as well as global rule of law initiatives. The layoffs affected about a third of the ABA's staff, including workers in its South Texas ProBar program and international legal development projects. The DOJ ended the grants shortly after barring its attorneys from participating in ABA events. The ABA is being represented by Democracy Forward in the suit, which also names Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as defendants.ABA Lays Off 300 Employees, Blaming Trump Grant Funding Cuts (1)Richard Lawson, the lawyer defending President Trump's executive orders targeting law firms, has faced repeated courtroom defeats while offering vague, evasive answers under judicial questioning. In four separate cases, courts have temporarily blocked Trump's orders, which aimed to punish firms like Perkins Coie and WilmerHale for their roles in legal actions against him by revoking security clearances and threatening government contracts. Judges have openly criticized the orders as retaliatory and politically motivated. Despite this, Lawson has often appeared alone in court, prompting speculation that even the Justice Department is reluctant to back the arguments he's tasked with presenting. His vague responses and visible discomfort have drawn scrutiny, especially given his political ties to Attorney General Pam Bondi and his role at the pro-Trump America First Policy Institute. While some law firms have settled by agreeing to large pro bono commitments, others are pushing forward in court, where permanent injunctions against the executive orders now seem likely.Trump Attorney for Big Law Attacks Says Little as Losses Rack UpIn a piece for Forbes earlier this week, I argue that the state and local tax (SALT) deduction is fundamentally flawed and difficult to defend. Though often framed as a benefit to the middle class or a protection against double taxation, the deduction overwhelmingly favors wealthy households and creates inequities in the federal tax system. It allows states to impose high taxes without facing full political accountability, effectively outsourcing part of the cost to the federal government. The 2017 cap of $10,000 was a step in the right direction, and data shows that repealing it would benefit primarily the top 20% of earners—not typical working families. Unlike other personal expenses like rent or groceries, which aren't deductible, SALT gets special treatment without clear justification. If we care about fairness, progressivity, and honest budgeting, it's time to seriously consider scrapping the deduction altogether.Reconsidering The SALT Deduction: Is It Defensible?This week's closing theme is the final section of Finlandia, Op. 26, by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, performed here in its piano version. Composed in 1899 during a time of intense political censorship and rising nationalist sentiment, Finlandia was Sibelius's defiant musical response to Russian oppression. The tone poem was originally part of a series of historical tableaux performed as a protest against censorship, with Finlandia serving as the rousing finale.While the early passages of Finlandia are turbulent and stormy—meant to evoke struggle—the final section is a striking contrast: serene, solemn, and deeply moving. This lyrical closing, often referred to as the Finlandia Hymn, became an unofficial anthem of Finnish resistance and later a national symbol of unity and perseverance. In this week's selection, we hear a solo piano arrangement that strips the music to its essence, allowing the melody's dignity and quiet strength to shine through.Sibelius once said, “Music begins where the possibilities of language end,” and in Finlandia's final moments, words do indeed fall away. What remains is a profound expression of hope and resilience—qualities that have made this music resonate far beyond Finland's borders. Though Sibelius composed in the late Romantic tradition, his voice is unmistakably his own: direct, elemental, and rooted in the landscape and soul of his homeland.As we close out the week, let Finlandia remind us that even in times of turbulence, grace and resolve can still find their voice.

The barrister Monica Feria-Tinta has been described as one of the “most daring, innovative and creative lawyers” in the UK for her work in defending our natural world. She was born in Peru and was the first Latin American lawyer to be called to the Bar of England and Wales. She began by representing indigenous peoples, from Latin America and the Pacific, setting ground-breaking legal precedents. More recently she has found herself pleading for rivers, oceans, cloud forests and endangered species. As she says: “I had become a barrister for the earth,” and she's written a book about ten of her landmark cases, called A Barrister for the Earth: Ten Cases of Hope for Our Future. Monica's music choices include Sibelius, Monteverdi and Chopin.
David Anderson, music director of the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra, talks about the group's concert coming up this Saturday evening- a program that includes Sibelius's Finlandia and Mendelssohn's Reformation Symphony.
Earth, in all its marvelous vitality and fragility, has inspired generations of composers. In The Oceanides, Sibelius conjures the water nymphs of Greek mythology and the broad majesty of the sea. Dvořák's The Wild Dove is based on a dark folktale about a dove's prophetic song. Childhood memories shape Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, his sumptuous masterpiece.

On this episode of One Symphony, Devin Patrick Hughes sat down with Peter Drew, a symphonist and jazz composer, to discuss his diverse life journey and his debut symphony, Reminiscence. Drew, born in Europe and later a refugee in the United States, recounted his early musical awakenings. He was first intrigued by the sound of the harmonica his stepbrother gave him. However, his musical trajectory truly shifted when, around the age of eleven, he heard Toscanini conducting Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on the radio. This experience deeply resonated with him, particularly the Ode to Joy, which became the first tune he learned on the harmonica, despite not being able to read music. Although initially captivated by classical music and Beethoven, Drew's path to becoming a composer was far from traditional. He pursued various careers, including working in film distribution, catering, teaching film studies, and being a social studies teacher. Throughout these experiences, music remained a constant presence in his life; he would often "noodle around" on the clarinet. It wasn't until later in life that he began to seriously study music, taking lessons from clarinet players and exploring jazz. He eventually started arranging music and studying composers like Sibelius. When the conversation turned to his symphony, "Reminiscence," Drew emphasized the amalgamation of his varied musical tastes and life experiences. He described his influences as a "mélange" or "stew" ranging from the American Songbook to Carl Orff, Villa-Lobos, Beethoven, Brahms, Artie Shaw, and even global music like Songs of the Auvergne, Tuvan throat singing, and Raga. He explained that his compositional process often begins with a melody he likes, perhaps played on his clarinet. He then develops this initial phrase, ensuring a natural flow between musical ideas without dissonance, remaining within the realm of Romantic Classical music. Hughes inquired about the technical aspects of translating these diverse elements into a cohesive symphony, including orchestration. Drew admitted that while he can conceive melodies, he needed assistance with the intricate instrumentation for a large symphony orchestra. He collaborated with an orchestrator to achieve the desired sonic textures, ensuring that all the instrumental parts complemented each other. Regarding the upcoming performance and recording of Reminiscence by the Boulder Symphony, Drew expressed his hope that listeners would simply "enjoy yourself" and "have fun". He doesn't expect the audience to be intimately familiar with all his diverse musical influences, but rather to connect with the music on an emotional level in the same way he was first drawn to Beethoven. Drew believes that if the music sounds and feels good, it will be enjoyable to listen to. When asked about his late entry into composing a symphony, Drew, who is approaching 90, reflected that all his life experiences, both musical and non-musical, have informed his writing. He feels that composing, rather than performing, is his true strength and passion, representing an accomplishment after a lifetime of diverse pursuits. He finds satisfaction in creating music that others enjoy listening to and playing. When pressed for a favorite movement, Drew chose the third movement for its energy and the way all the musical elements come together. While acknowledging the profound impact of Beethoven on his early musical life, he noted that Reminiscence incorporates a wider range of influences, creating a unique sonic landscape.

Send us a textJameson and Jouhikko virtuoso Lassi Logrén celebrate Finnish independence day by talking about the Jouhikko/Tagelharpa tradition, Finnish folk music, and the Tagelharpa renaissance we're experiencing outside of traditional folk circles. We also talk about Lassi's new solo album “Jouhikko”, why Lassi believes the instrument itself sounds human, and what we might gain from learning how to connect with solo instrumental albums on a personal, communal, and maybe even spiritual, level. Along the way, Lassi offers advice and pointers for those learning, or looking to learn how to play the Jouhikko/Tagelharpa. And of course, being Finnish independence day, I had to take a detour through some Sibelius talk ;)Lassi's email for those who want to ask him for Jouhikko/Tagelharpa advice: lassi.logren@gmail.comI hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

The rugged, windswept beauty of Sibelius' Violin Concerto is a perfect showcase for Christian Tetzlaff, whose “fiery and compelling” 2022 CSO performance was named one of the year's 10 best by Chicago Classical Review. Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande is a lush, quintessentially romantic orchestral portrait of Maeterlinck's mysterious, symbolist play, while Wagner's prelude delivers a thrilling opener.

Das Violinkonzert von Jean Sibelius ist von Extremen geprägt. Schwelgerisch schöne Melodien treffen auf hochvirtuose Passagen und kreieren ein lebhaftes Kopfkino von der rauen nordischen Landschaft. Es ist Sibelius' einziges Instrumentalkonzert – und bei Geigerinnen und Publikum sehr beliebt. Fast jeder Geiger, fast jede Geigerin hat das Violinkonzert von Jean Sibelius im Repertoire – denn es ist effektvoll komponiert und lässt sowohl den schönen Geigenton als auch die technische Raffinesse glänzen. Dabei hat Sibelius für das Werk bei der Uraufführung 1904 noch viel Kritik einstecken müssen – nicht zuletzt, weil der Solist dem Werk technisch nicht gewachsen war. Doch die überarbeitete Neufassung geriet erfolgreicher – und heute ist das Werk aus den Konzertsälen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Jenny Berg vergleicht gemeinsam mit der Geigerin Esther Hoppe und dem Dirigenten David Philip Hefti fünf neuere Einspielungen.
Interpreten: Thomas Albertus Irnberger, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Doron Salomon, Michael Korstick Label: Gramola EAN: 9003643993280 Der Geiger Thomas Albertus Irnberger ist ein Phänomen. In regelmäßigen Abständen landen Neuerscheinungen mit ihm bei uns im Sender, mal kammermusikalisch mal wieder groß besetzt. Was aber alle CDs verbindet, sie sind allesamt qualitativ ausgesprochen hochwertig und musikalisch absolut überzeugend. Wie auch die zuletzt erschienene CD mit Musik von Jean Sibelius, wie Michael Gmasz weiß. Der Name Thomas Albertus Irnberger ist mir bekannt, seit ich 2004 bei radio klassik Stephansdom zu arbeiten begonnen habe. Im Konzertsaal war und ist der in Salzburg beheimatete Geiger bei uns in Wien zwar kaum anzutreffen, jedoch hat er im gleichen Jahr seinen Exklusivvertrag bei Gramola unterschrieben und damit begonnen, einer der meistaufgenommenen Künstler des Hauses zu werden. Etwas über 60 CDs umfasst seine Diskographie mittlerweile und auf dem jüngsten Album spielt er sich durch das Geigenrepertoire des finnischen Komponisten Jean Sibelius. Das Violinkonzert mit dem Royal Philharmonic Orchestra unter Doron Salomon und Stücke für Violine und Klavier mit seinem langjährigen Kammermusikpartner Michael Korstick. Jean Sibelius‘, dem damals 12-jährigen Wunderkind Ferenc Vecsey gewidmetes, Violinkonzert ist auf dieser CD der Höhepunkt. Technisch makellos spielt Thomas Albertus Irnberger einen reifen, abgeklärten Solopart, als ob es die einfachste aller Übungen wäre. Jedoch nicht beiläufig, sondern immer intensiv bei der Sache. Dabei entlockt Irnberger seinem Instrument die unterschiedlichsten Klangfarben, von nordisch unterkühlt bis hin zu feurig kraftvoll reicht die Palette. Unterschiedlichste Charaktere zeigen die kammermusikalischen Stücke für Violine und Klavier. Fröhlich tänzerisch die Stücke Op. 81, melancholisch, in Gedanken verloren jene Op. 115. Als Zugabe hat Irnberger gemeinsam mit Michael Korstick auch den Valse triste aufgenommen, jedoch hier nicht jenen von Sibelius, sondern vom schon angesprochenen Ferenc Vecsey. Eine schöne Reverenz an den „führenden Geiger seiner Zeit“. (mg)
Sibelius' letzte Sinfonie aus dem Jahr 1924 besteht aus nur einem einzigen Satz. Um den aber hat der Komponist lange gerungen. In gut 20 ergreifende Minuten packt er sein Vermächtnis als Sinfoniker. Danach verstummt der Finne zunehmend, obwohl er noch gut 30 Jahre zu leben hat. Von Christoph Vratz.
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th US president on Monday. We look at the inauguration, Trump's raft of immediate Executive Orders and the worldwide implications of what his presidency heralds.Those potential effects are having to be factored into the UK government's economic strategies and diplomatic actions. Meanwhile apparent splits are appearing in Scottish Labour which were writ large in the "painting by numbers" interview with Kirsty McNeill Labour Parliamentary Under- Secretary of State for Scotland on the BBC's Sunday Morning Show.The Scottish government is currently arguing that measures such as creating a wealth tax and setting up a National Energy Company are snookered by The Scotland Act. Are there bold, innovative ways to circumvent it and why is the SNP leadership so committed to playing by the UK's rules?Axel Rudabukana has pleaded guilty to the Southport murders. Yvette Cooper has promised an inquiry into why so many warning signs were missed by so many agencies. However big questions still remain over the Labour governments clampdown on the release of information on Rudakubana which may have squashed the anti immigrant, anti Muslim internet rumours which fuelled the subsequent riots.Lesley reacts to the first episode of An t-Eilean (The Island) – the UK's first ever high-end Gaelic drama series.Lesley has also launched the first of her YouTube films on Iceland and its green energy/heating revolution Hot Springs Town check it out herehttps://lesleyriddoch.com/filmsThere's also chat about music.

On August 26, 2024, the long-time popular notation app called Finale announced that it would be permanently discontinuing all of its software, leading to very vocal anxiety and panic among its many veteran users. Professional composers and arrangers, as well as educators all need a good notation app, but Finale is no longer a choice. Jason Loffredo of Conquering Finale returns to chat about what steps Finale users should take to migrate as well as how to navigate the other choices, primarily deciding between Dorico and Sibelius.

Abba's biographer Jan Gradvall met and interviewed Abba many times and builds a fresh picture of their internal chemistry in his new book Melancholy Undercover. Highlights of this illuminating pod include … … how Sweden rejected their early hits for not being sufficiently “socialist”. …. the discomfiting early life of Anni-Frid Lyngstad. … what Max Martin and Denniz Pop thought made Abba's music so durable. … Strindberg, Bergman, the climate, the eight months of darkness and the role of melancholia in Swedish pop culture. … the influence of the Human League on their later catalogue. … why manager Stig Anderson “became a burden”. … “Norway has Grieg, Finland has Sibelius, Sweden has Benny …” … the first band to write about divorce. … the Abba song with 57 chords and the only two samples Abba ever approved. … Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and Ian Dury backstage at a 1979 London show. … when Sid Vicious ran into Abba at an airport on the Pistols' 1977 Swedish tour. … the role of the Lionesses football team, Kurt Cobain, Erasure, U2, Madonna and the Sydney gay community in the Abba revival. … why the Abbatars are better than Abba. … the myth of Agnetha as “the Greta Garbo of Pop”. … and why The Day Before You Came is more than the Abba swansong.
