Ladies and gentlemen, with honesty, tenderness and, yes, sometimes humor, the film Facing the Wind invites viewers into the lives of people with Lewy body dementia and their caregivers…real people in real time.  FACING THE WIND, a sixty-minute documentary film, reveals how a mutual support community can be an antidote to despair, letting people know they are not alone.  You will follow their journey, laughing and crying with them, while taking an unflinching look at dementia care with its overwhelming and isolating aspects. The struggle is real, but so is the love. Ladies and gentlemen, Lewy body dementia is not a rare disease. It affects more than 1.4 million people in America. It is the second most common form of dementia, but it still being misdiagnosed. Alzheimer's disease is the gradual decline of memory as Lewy body dementia is the roller coaster ride with ups and downs. One moment the patient can be fully present and lucid and the next be completely lost or deal with hallucinations from mild to severe. There is no cure, but this very powerful film documentary is not for those suffering with Lewy body dementia, but for the people who care for them. Many spouses and family members are thrust into being a caregiver and navigating the vast ocean of the unknown. FACING THE WIND is a starting place for caregivers and to know that it's ok to not be ok. Head over to LewyBodyResourceCenter.org for more information.

Die Achte ist Gustav Mahlers am seltensten aufgeführte Symphonie, denn sie ist die spektakulärste und fordert ein Massenaufgebot an Sängern und Instrumentalisten. Bei der Uraufführung waren 1028 Mitwirkende auf dem Podium. Mit einzigartigem Aufwand realisiert der Komponist seine hochfliegenden Pläne. Die Textgrundlage bildeten der katholischen Pfingsthymnus „Veni Creator Spiritus“ und die Schluss-Szene von Goethes Faust – die Anrufung des Heiligen Geists also, und die Apotheose der Erlösung durch die Liebe. Im Musiksalon versucht Wilhelm Sinkovicz heute Pfade durch das Dickicht dieses rätselhaften Werks zu bahnen.

El 21 d'octubre de 1912 naixia a Budapest un dels millors directors de la hist

Caregiving is described as improvisation, requiring adaptability and a willingness to accept failures.

Forgiveness and vulnerability are central themes, offering insights into the complexities of caregiving. Nicky's Messages and Final Moments: Mary Lou shares Nicky's enduring messages and the profound experience of understanding his needs in his final moments. She highlights the transformative potential of grief, turning it into catharsis. Raising Awareness and Encouraging Support: Mary Lou advocates for greater awareness of Lewy body dementia, urging celebrities and public figures to help shine a light on this condition. She underscores the importance of creating supportive communities for family caregivers. Notable Quotes from Mary Lou: “You have to join the person where they are, you can't expect them to come to you in their former state. It's just not possible.” “Suspend what you need and give them what they need.” “Grief doesn't have to be your nemesis, it can be your catharsis.” Closing Thoughts: Mary Lou concludes by emphasizing the moments of light and hope amidst the challenges of caregiving. Her story serves as an inspiration and a call to action for increased understanding and support for those affected by Lewy body dementia.

Synopsis Today's date marks the anniversary of one of the most famous – and notorious – premieres in the history of classical music, that of Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring), in Paris on May 29, 1913. From its first note – sounded by the bassoon at the extreme end of its highest register – Stravinsky's score signaled the start of something radically different. It's also remembered as the occasion of one of the most emotional reactions by any audience: Catcalls and insults were hurled between the composer's supporters and detractors, fistfights broke out, and finally the police were called. There were those, including Pierre Monteux, the conductor of the premiere, who felt the reactions were occasioned more by the dancing and the stage picture than by the music itself. Years later, when Monteux was asked what he thought of the original production, he confessed to everyone's amusement that he actually never saw it, because his eyes were glued to the score. “On hearing this near riot behind me,” he wrote, “I decided to keep the orchestra together at any cost ... I did, and we played it to the end absolutely as we had rehearsed it in the peace of an empty theatre.” Music Played in Today's Program Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971) The Rite of Spring Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Sir Georg Solti, conductor.

We discussed why we both enjoy conducting youth orchestras and how important playing in orchestras is for a young person, we also chatted about the positives and negatives of preparing an orchestra for another conductor, and I heard a fabulous story about Sir Georg Solti conducting the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony!

Synopsis Any composer who sets out to write a violin concerto knows that his or her new work will be measured against the famous concertos of the past. But in the fall of 1936, when the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok decided to write a violin concerto, he asked his publisher to send him some recent work of his contemporaries. After seeing what Karol Szymanowski, Kurt Weill, and Alban Berg had accomplished in the form, Bartok set to work, with much input from his violinist friend, Zoltan Szekely, for whom the new concerto was being written. Bartok was in America when Szekely premiered his Concerto with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Willem Mengelberg. It was only in America, some years later, in 1943, that Bartok first heard his Concerto at a New York Philharmonic concert. He wrote, "I was most happy that there is nothing WRONG with the scoring. Nothing needs to be changed, even though orchestral accompaniment of the violin is a very delicate business." If Bartok was happy with the scoring, he wasn't very pleased with one New York music critic, who wrote that he didn't think the new work would ever displace the great violin concertos of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, or Brahms. "How is it possible to write such an idiotic thing," commented Bartok. "What fool fit for a madhouse would want to displace these works with his own?"

Musicologist Dr David Larkin explores Richard Strauss's epic tone poem, An Alpine Symphony (1915) and shows how music can represent and evoke nature and the sublime. With musical excerpts, David shares how Strauss depicts a waterfall, a flowery meadow with cows, a sunrise, a thunderstorm, a hiker reaching an alpine summit, an experience of the sublime, and much more. He explains the historical, philosophical and musical context Strauss wrote and premiered it in and its critical reception across the years. He also gives us some insight into the ideas Strauss had about the meaning of certain sections. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are to perform An Alpine Symphony on March 2 and 3 in Melbourne.

Synopsis On today's date in 1787, Mozart's opera “Don Giovanni” had its premiere performance in Prague, with Mozart himself conducting. Mozart had arrived in Prague early in October that year, but as singers and instrumentalists alike needed more time than originally planned to prepare his difficult new score, the premiere occurred later than planned. The October 29th premiere was a triumph, and a Prague newspaper reported that Mozart was received with threefold cheers when he entered and left the theater. At the request of Joseph II, the Austrian emperor, “Don Giovanni” was staged in Vienna the following year. The emperor was pleased: “That opera is divine,” he told Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, but, surprisingly, the Viennese audiences didn't seem to like it. Da Ponte quotes the Emperor as suggesting “Don Giovanni” was just too complicated for their taste: “Such music is not meat for the teeth of my Viennese,” he said. In his Memoirs, da Ponte writes: “I reported this remark to Mozart, who replied quietly: ‘Well, give them time to chew on it, then.'” ”He was not mistaken,” continued da Ponte. “At each performance of Don Giovanni the applause increased, and little by little, even Vienna of the dull teeth came to savor it.” Music Played in Today's Program Wolfgang Mozart (1756-1791) Don Giovanni Michele Pertusi (as Leporello); London Philharmonic; Sir Georg Solti, conductor.

Synopsis John Lennon was born on today's date in the year 1940, in Liverpool, England — during a German air raid on that city, as it happened. With three other young lads from Liverpool, Lennon would eventually become world-famous, courtesy of the band he helped formed in 1959 called the Beatles. The Beatles started out in a Liverpool nightclub called the Cavern, playing pop tunes of the day, but soon began performing original material of their own. Before disbanding in 1970, some recognizable elements of classical music were incorporated into some Beatles songs, including a string quartet, a Baroque trumpet, and even an orchestra. And it wasn't just a one-sided exchange: Leonard Bernstein played a Beatles song on one of his “Young People's Concerts” to demonstrate sonata form. Arthur Fiedler performed symphonic arrangements of Beatles tunes at his Boston Pops concerts. And decades after the Beatles disbanded, former member Paul McCartney began composing original chamber works and big concert hall pieces, including a semi-autobiographical “Liverpool Oratorio.” Not surprisingly, some young British and American composers coming of age in the 1960s and 70s credit the Beatles as an influence. One elegant set of solo guitar arrangements of Lennon-McCartney tunes even came from Japan, courtesy of the eminent Japanese composer (and Beatles fan) Toru Takemitsu.

In this episode, we look at the soundtrack of the 2020 movie of Jane Austen's Emma written by Isobel Waller-Bridge and David Schweitzer. We look at how each of the main characters are given both a theme and instrument and how these themes interweave with each other. We also explore the choreography of the music to match the comedy shown, as well as how the folk and classical music help tell the story through emotions, lyrics, as well as reflecting location and class.

Synopsis Franz Liszt, the inventor of the "symphonic poem," wrote 13 of them. The second, "Tasso," had its first performance on today's date in 1849. The occasion was a festival celebrating the 100th birthday of the great German national poet and playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the author of "Faust." The festival was in Weimar, Germany, the city where Goethe died and was buried in 1832. Liszt's "Tasso" was written to serve as the overture to Goethe's drama about the Italian poet "Torquato Tasso," and its premiere performance was conducted by its composer. The main theme of the work is said to be a tune Liszt claimed he heard sung by an Italian gondolier in Venice. One of the more surprising tributes to Goethe occurred not in Germany, but in scenic Aspen, Colorado, when the Aspen Music Festival was founded in Goethe's honor in 1949 – on the 200th anniversary of his birth. The Aspen Music Festival has grown over the years and today draws some 30,000 visitors annually. One of the original founders of the Festival was French composer Darius Milhaud, who taught at the Aspen Music School for many years. This music is from Milhaud's "Aspen Serenade," written in 1957. More recently, during conductor David Zinman years as the Festival's Music Director, many contemporary American composers, including John Corigliano, Richard Danielpour, Christopher Rouse, and Augusta Read Thomas, have had their works performed – and occasionally premiered – in Aspen.

Synopsis On today's date in 1869, a visitor to Boston's Back Bay could have marveled at a huge, specially-erected wooden structure sporting American flags and surrounded by a mini-village of peanut vendors and lemonade stands. Inside, an orchestra of 1000 sat surrounded by a chorus of 10,000. Over the stage hung giant portraits of Handel and Beethoven, and higher yet depictions of two angels gazing heavenwards by a banner reading “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.” This June 19th concert marked the end of a 5-day Jubilee Festival of Music and Reconciliation, as America tried to mend the wounds caused by its recent Civil War. Former Union General and current President Ulysses S. Grant was on hand, and the New York Times opined that the Festival offered proof that, “our people can think of something beyond … the almighty dollar.” During the Festival, the massive orchestra and chorus performed selections ranging from “classical” works by Bach and Mozart to more recent works by Meyerbeer and Verdi. A review by John S. Dwight, Boston's leading music critic of that day, found the immense chorus “glorious and inspiring” and the huge orchestra “splendid.” However, he dismissed a performance of Verdi's “Anvil Chorus,” accompanied by 100 real anvils, as a “childish, trivial thing for such a grand occasion.” Music Played in Today's Program Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791 -1864) –Coronation March, from Le Prophète (New York Philharmonic; Leonard Bernstein, cond.)

Synopsis We tend to think of the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak as a 19th century composer – but he lived a few years into the 20th and one of his major works, his opera “Rusalka,” had its premiere in Prague on today's date in 1901. We also think of Dvorak as primarily a composer of symphonies and chamber works, but forget that in his final years, Dvorak devoted himself chiefly to opera – and for reasons that might surprise us today. In a 1904 interview, given just two months before his death, Dvorak said:  “Over the past five years I have written nothing but operas. I wanted to devote all my powers, as long as the dear Lord gives me health, to the creation of opera … because I consider opera to be the most suitable medium for the Czech nation and the widest audience, whereas if I compose a symphony I might have to wait years before it is performed.” Dvorak was gratified that his opera “Rusalka” was a big success at its 1901 premiere and would subsequently become one of his most popular works with Czech audiences, but ironically, outside Czech-speaking lands, most of his other operas, unlike his symphonies, are rarely performed.

Synopsis When you were a kid, did your mother warn you about playing with sharp sticks? Well, conductors play with sharp sticks, and it CAN prove dangerous. In 1976, while conducting Mozart's “The Marriage of Figaro” at New York's Metropolitan Opera, conductor Sir Georg Solti managed to stab himself in the forehead with his own baton during the third act, causing quite a bloody mess. It's said that Solti had already broken two batons during Acts I and II but managed not to hurt anyone. Before batons came into common use in the early 19th century, musicians just used their hands or a rolled-up piece of music paper to keep time. Unfortunately for him, the famous Italian-born French Baroque composer Jean-Baptiste Lully chose to employ a long, heavy staff when he was conducting.  He was thumping out the beat during a performance of his own “Te Deum” on today's date in 1687, and, like Solti, must have gotten carried away and accidentally smashed the staff into his toe. He continued conducting, but an abscess soon developed in the self-inflicted wound, followed by gangrene which spread through his lower leg and Lully died a few weeks later.

Synopsis On today's date in 1940, the Chicago Symphony helped to celebrate their 50th anniversary with the premiere performance of a specially commissioned symphony from the famous Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Stravinsky himself was on hand to conduct his “Symphony in C” – a work that attracted a great deal of attention at the time. For starters, writing a symphony in the key of C Major seemed a defiantly anti-modern gesture at a time when Arnold Schoenberg's “twelve tone” method of composition was gaining ground with prominent American musicians and critics. Now, traditionally the key of C Major was deemed a “happy” or “bright” key, but Stravinsky composed his Symphony during one of the unhappiest periods of his life, when his wife, his mother and one of his daughters had all died in rapid succession. “It is no exaggeration to say that in the following weeks I was able to continue my own life only by my work on the Symphony in C,” wrote Stravinsky. “But I did not seek to overcome my grief by portraying or giving expression to it in music, and you will listen in vain, I think, for traces of this sort of personal emotion.” Music Played in Today's Program Igor Stravinsky (1882 – 1971) — Symphony in C (Chicago Symphony; Sir Georg Solti, cond.) London 458 898

Synopsis The REAL story behind Richard Strauss' decision to use a chamber orchestra for his opera “Ariadne on Naxos” – which premiered in Stuttgart on today's date in 1912 – is complicated and a little mundane. We prefer a more “colorful” version that some in Stuttgart have proffered. When a new opera house was being planned for that city, Strauss was asked how large the orchestral pit should be. “Oh, it should hold about 100 players,” he suggested. So, to determine the size required, the architects rather naively asked the local military band to assemble 100 players, have them stand at attention, and measured the amount of space they occupied. Now, soldiers standing at attention take up a LOT less space than an equal number of seated symphonic musicians. And so, the resulting space in the new theater could only accommodate a CHAMBER orchestra. The Stuttgart Opera also wanted to launch their new theater with a brand-new opera commissioned from Strauss. When he learned what had happened, being the eminently practical sort he was, simply wrote his new opera for chamber ensemble of about 40 players. Fact or fantasy, that's how some like to tell it in Stuttgart. Music Played in Today's Program Richard Strauss (1861 – 1949) — Ariadne auf Naxos (Vienna Philharmonic; James Levine, cond.)

Synopsis On today's date in 1999, the Lyric Opera of Chicago premiered a new opera by the American composer William Bolcom, based on “A View from the Bridge,” a powerful play by Arthur Miller. Now, not all stage plays “translate” well into opera, as Bolcom was well aware: “In theater, you have the text and then below it you have the subtext,” said Bolcom. “In opera it is pretty much the opposite, the subtext is what you are really dealing with first and foremost: big, raw emotions, which are supported by the text. In fact, Miller's play, although set in Brooklyn in the 1950s, has often been likened to a Greek tragedy, a theatrical form in which the chorus plays an important role. Bolcom saw that as a real opportunity: "If you are going to do an opera from a play, it better have a dimension that the play doesn't. In a play, you can't have your chorus speak because it is financially prohibitive: as soon as the chorus opens up its mouth the price goes up because of actors' equity. So, naturally one of the great resources of opera houses is an opera chorus, a resource you CAN use much more easily."

Synopsis In the 19th century, a young Boston-born American composer and pianist named William Mason made a point of tracking down and visiting the most famous European composers of his day, including a politically controversial German named Richard Wagner, who was then living in exile in Zurich. The meeting took place on today's date in 1852, when Mason was in his twenties, and the 30-something Wagner was just beginning to work on his epic cycle of operas entitled “The Ring of the Nibelungen.” “At that time,” wrote Mason, “I had heard only ‘The Flying Dutchman,' but considered it a most beautiful work, and was eager to meet the composer.” Wagner found the young American to be genial company for a few hours, during which (not surprisingly) Wagner did most of the talking. As a souvenir, Wagner presented his young American visitor with a few bars of music inscribed: “If you ever hear anything of mine like this, then think of me.” About quarter of a century later, in 1876, Mason did think of Wagner and that June afternoon when he heard his souvenir come to life as the ominous dragon motive heard at the opening of “Siegfried,” the third opera in Wagner's “Ring” cycle.

Oblomov publié en 1858 devient un mythe littéraire aussi vivant et emblématique en Russie que Don Juan, Don Quichotte ou Faust . Et ce mythe a inspiré un néologisme : l'oblomovisme. Une manière d'être, de penser et surtout de patienter, une manière slave de vivre.  Oblomov, dans le moelleux de sa vieille robe de chambre orientale, est un propriétaire terrien. Un personnage qui laisse passer le temps. Parler de paresse serait trop simple. Oblomov se livre plutôt à une sorte de rêverie utopique et engourdissante. Alors il peut renouer avec les dorlotements de son enfance. Proie facile, il est exploité, grugé, dépouillé par son entourage. Et sa fiancée Olga a bien du mérite à vouloir le sauver. En fait, Oblomov va tout perdre, jusqu'à sa santé. Mais dans une sorte de bonheur léthargique, d'humilité et d'accomplissement accepté du destin. "Platon en robe de chambre" dit Gontcharov.  « Une œuvre capitale », disait Tolstoï. « Servie par un talent éblouissant », ajoutait Dostoïevski. Choix musical: Puccini « O soave fanciulla », La Bohème (version Placido Domingo, Montserrat Caballé – direction Sir Georg Solti) et Miles Davis : "Blue in Green" (album Kind of Blue)

Episode 5: Tim welcomes world-renowned Tenor and National Treasure Vinson Cole for an unforgettable conversation. They discuss meeting and collaborating at Aspen, how they each came to careers in opera (Vinson began singing at 9!), and what it's like being a successful boy soprano. Vinson tells us all about auditioning for (and winning) the Metropolitan Opera National Council, and how he met Herbert von Karajan with a premiere at the Salzburg Festival. They discuss Vinson's experience of identity during the time of the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination riots, his experience of explicit racism, and the vital importance of parental guidance and support in the face of inequity. In answering questions from the audience, Vinson dishes on his favorite places to sing, the difference between a good colleague and a great colleague, and his time working with Sir Georg Solti.Link to Di rigori armato il seno, The Italian Tenor's Aria from Der Rosenkavalier, featuring Vinson Cole and Herbert von Karajan at the 1984 Salzburg Festival:www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpuk2cKECw8 You can find Tim's Website here: timothylongmusic.com Special Thanks to Martha Redbone for her permission to use her song "Medicine Man" for the opening credits.

Many of opera’s greatest and most overwhelming moments happen thanks to the chorus. Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean introduces many of the typical functions of the opera chorus, such as saluting a leader, singing in praise—or fear—of God, providing local color, intensifying the drama, and embodying the multitude. Musical excerpts from three decades of Seattle Opera productions feature the work of Seattle Opera Chorus Masters George Fiore, Beth Kirchoff, and John Keene, in Seattle Opera’s 2015 Nabucco, 2012 Turandot, 2000 Boris Godunov, 2015 Semele, 2007 Iphigénie en Tauride, 2019 Il trovatore, 2014 Tales of Hoffmann, 2013 La bohème, 2011 Porgy and Bess, 1998 Faust, 1994 Lohengrin, 1994 Norma, 2007 Flying Dutchman, 2012 Fidelio, 1989 Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and 1990 War and Peace, plus a Decca recording of Die Entführung aus dem Serail conducted by Sir Georg Solti, the Leipzig Radio Chorus and Staatskapelle Dresden performing the Tannhäuser Pilgrims’ Chorus conducted by Silvio Varviso, and the Decca recording of Peter Grimes conducted by Benjamin Britten.

In this episode, that is nearly as long as the movie it discusses, Grace and Emma attempt to break down this fantastical samurai epic. As this is masterful film with many questions and few answers, most of this episode’s runtime is existential and ambiguous. At first we try to contextualize its depiction of indigenous peoples and the Muromashi period in our shaky understanding of Japanese history Is there a way to reconcile civilization and nature? Is this movie environmental centrism? Is the ending hopeful, bleak, or even cheap? What last 19th, early 20th century classical composer does the soundtrack borrow from the most? All of the questions are discussed and much more!The resources we used to talk about Japanese history and indigenous peoples are: a summary of the history of both the Emishi and the Ainu, an account of the Ainu’s contemporary struggles, and a website about the Emishi’s cultural history. The critic Grace references at around an 1:06:20 of the podcast is Mark Shilling. The piece by Cole Henry that Grace discusses at 1:20:44 can be found here, and the twitter thread about indigenous survival discussed shortly thereafter can be found here.The music used at 1:38:36 mark is a 1967 Recording of Richard Strauss’s Salome, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic and conducted by Sir Georg Solti. The music at the 1:39 is the track San and Ashitaka in the Forest of the Deer God from the film’s soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi.The next movie is Spirited AwayFollow Grace on Twitter @grace_machineFollow Emma on Twitter @uofwhalesFollow the show @seasonsmoviepodEmail us questions at seasonspod@gmail.com

He elaborates on: His experience as principal trumpet of the New Orleans Symphony How the orchestra's bankruptcy prompted his first ventures in the self-marketing world and opened the door for his entrepreneurial spirit How social media can help promote artists, if done the right way and if one is offering high value How, as musicians, we need to take ownership of our careers, nurture opportunies, and put together our own projects The way he sees himself as an artist and why the different projects he pursues keep him energized and inspired How he advises young artists to not just focus on their careers, but to focus on their artistry, their personality, and their voice How we need to be proactive for our dream ideas to come to life – his own example of how he made a solo recording with the Montreal Symphony happen How a “quality over quantity” approach to practicing is crucial How he uses a timer to stay focused and organized in the practice room How he selects his fundamental work to fit the needs of the repertoire he is working on How he shapes a practice session/day How he uses “PSP” when doing isolation work: 1) Precision 2) Speed  3) Power How we need to “practice our nerves”   ALL ABOUT PAUL: Paul Merkelo's website Paul's YouTube channel Facebook page Instagram profile Montreal Symphony Orchestra Paul's recordings Tomasi / Desenclos / Jolivet: French Trumpet Concertos with the Montreal Symphony A Simple Song Baroque Transcriptions: Trumpet & Organ   Tunable app The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born.

Hur påverkar själva livet musikens uttryck? Hur påverkar musiken det liv som utövaren lever? Och hur påverkas sångdiktare och musiker av sina medmänniskors liv? I detta andra program medverkar den mångsidige författaren och librettisten Niklas Rådström, som har ett stort musikintresse och som samarbetat med nutida tonsättare och musiker som Thomas Jennefelt, Daniel Börtz, Bobo Stenson och Eric Ericsons kammarkör. Lyssnar vi på Rådströms romaner och dramer uppstår borduntoner, klangdofter och rytmiska textflöden. Rådström vill ha en närvaro i texten. Berättelsens anslag skall finnas där direkt som i ett musikstycke. När han skriver tänker han snarare efter musikaliska principer än intellektuella. -Jag avundas mina kompisar inom jazzen. De kan spela en låt för 150:e gången, som vore den helt ny. Gräset är daggfuktigt varje varje gång man träder ut i trädgården. Så är det inte att skriva. Texten måste man kämpa med på ett annat sätt. Inget finns öppet I litteraturen såsom i musiken, i improvisationmusiken inte minst, säger Niklas Rådström i programmet där han läser utdrag ur sina två romaner Månens anförvant   och En handfull regn. Romanen Månens anförvant ägnar Rådström åt tonsättaren Mozarts främste librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, och hans liv med musik. Da Ponte skrev libretto till Mozarts Don Giovanni, Figaros bröllop och Così fan tutte under en tid då dessa operor provocerade och hade politisk sprängkraft. Da Pontes enastående rika liv i Venedig, Wien, London, Philadelphia och New York vävs i texten ihop med Mozarts eget liv, fast i motsatt kronologisk ordning, som vore romanen ett musikstycke en fuga. I Rådströms pjäs Kvartett ledsagas det sovjetiska angivarsamhället och de mänskliga sveken av Sjostakovitj åttonde stråkkvartett. Alla de fem satserna spelas under pjäsens gång.   Spellista:   Yemandja Angelique Kidjo, sång, m fl Aye Island Records               Mango         74321 16646 2       Sport & Fritid - Lauras aria Thomas Jennefelt, musik.

We are featuring our complete interview with former Indiana University and University of Michigan double bass professor Lawrence Hurst on this week's Contrabass Conversations episode.  This interview was broadcast in the early days of this show in three separate parts, and we are pleased to present the complete and uninterrupted interview on this week's show.  This episode was co-hosted by John Grillo.  Enjoy! About Lawrence Hurst: Lawrence Hurst began his musical studies on the piano accordion at the age of four. At 13, he started studying the double bass through the public school system of his hometown, Norfolk, Virginia. After serving two years with the Seventh Army Symphony, he started his professional career as principal bassist with the Dallas Symphony under Sir Georg Solti. He joined the music faculty at the University of Michigan School of Music in 1964. During his tenure at Michigan, he chaired the String Department and was Associate Dean and Director of the University Division of the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan. In 1986 he joined the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music of Indiana Universtiy and was the chair of the String Department from 1987 until 2012. In 1967, he joined the summer faculty of the famed National Music Camp (now the Interlochen Arts Camp) and has taught there every summer since. His students can be found in orchestras and musical venues all over the world, including the orchestras of Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Atlanta, The Metropolitan Opera, St. Louis, and Milwaukee, to name a few. In 2005 he was given the American String Teacher's Association Artist/Teacher of the Year Award, and, in 2006, the International Society of Bassists (of which he is past president) gave him the Distinguished Teaching Award. In JUne, 2013, the ISB also awarded him the Distinguished Achievement Award. He retired from the Jacobs School of Music in June 2012, whereupon his former students initiated an endowment scholarship and medal for double bassists in his name. email: feedback@contrabassconversations.com phone (call-in number--we'll play your message on the show!): 415-952-5643

Innan världssopranen Birgit Nilsson dog instiftade hon ett stort musikpris på 1 miljon US dollar. Det gick 2014 till hennes favoritorkester Wienfilharmonikerna. Birgit Nilsson, eller La Nilsson som hon också kallades, fick sitt genombrott på Kungliga operan 1947, i Verdis opera "MacBeth" som Lady Macbeth och intog därefter successivt världens stora operascener med sin röst och sin personlighet. - Birgit Nilsson var en av 1900-talets största sångerskor. När hon kom ut på scenen var det som att Brünhilde steg ut ur Wagners partitur på riktigt eller som att Elektra steg ut ur Strauss partitur, säger en av orkesterns försteviolinister Clemens Hellsberg. Wienfilharmonikerna - eller Wiener Philharmoniker som de säger i Österrike - är en orkester där det är orkesterns egna medlemmar som bestämmer vilka som ska bli nya medlemmar och vilka de ska dirigeras av. De har sedan mer än 80 år ingen chefsdirigent men har spelat med världens främsta dirigenter, däribland Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Arturo Toscanini, Bruno Walter, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Hans Knappertsbusch, Clemens Krauss, Karl Böhm, Herbert von Karajan, Sir Georg Solti och Leonard Bernstein. Orkestern bildades 1842 och var en del av byggandet av det nazistiska Österrike vilket de själva lät utreda för några år sedan. En annan kontroversiell fråga har varit att det under mycket lång tid bara kunde vara medlemmar i orkestern, men sedan 1997 kan också kvinnor vara det. Bland dem finns andreviolinisten Patricia Koll som berättar om sitt arbete i orkestern, där även hennes far Heinrich Koll spelar. I programmet medverkar de stora operasångarna Nina Stemme, Bryn Terfel och Cecilia Bartoli, försteviolinisten Clemens Hellsberg, försteviolinisten och orkesterns ordförande Andreas Grossbauer, andreviolinisten Patricia Koll, altviolinisten Heinrich Koll, chefen för Wiener Staatsoper Dominique Meyer och kompositören och dirigenten René Staar.

As Remembrance Day approaches here in Canada, Christopher looks at The World Orchestra for Peace in a programme that first aired on CBC Radio in 2003. "The World Orchestra for Peace is an expression of harmony on all levels. It was founded in 1995 by Sir Georg Solti to reaffirm, in his words, 'the unique strength of music as an ambassador for peace'. Its players come from orchestras all over the world, many of them concert masters and section leaders in their own right, and the orchestra has no existence outside the very special occasions that call it into being."

This week's Contrabass Conversations episode features an interview with Chicago Symphony bassist Brad Opland. In addition to the interview, you'll get a chance to hear Brad perform on the double bass in his own arrangement of Ibert's Quatre Causons (four songs) de Don Quichotte for bassoon and bass and hear Brad perform on the electric bass in his south side Chicago church. Enjoy! About Brad Born in Minot, North Dakota, Bradley Opland began his musical studies at an early age and, by the time he was 10, knew that he wanted a career in a symphony orchestra. After graduating from high school a year early, he moved to Philadelphia to continue his music studies at the Curtis Institute of Music. One year later, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski appointed Brad to the bass section of the Minnesota Orchestra at the age of 18, one of the youngest musicians ever hired. He remained in Minnesota through Sir Neville Marriner’s tenure, coming to Chicago in 1984 after Sir Georg Solti offered him a position in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. - See more at: http://cso.org/about/performers/chicago-symphony-orchestra/bass/bradley-opland/#sthash.c5IOnq3y.dpuf

What has it been like singing under great conductors such as Sir Adrian Boult, Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti and Kurt Masur?

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the conductor Antonio Pappano. He took over as music director of the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden two years ago following in the footsteps of Bernard Haitink and the late Sir Georg Solti. Observers have pointed to a noticeable shift in leadership since his arrival describing him as the 'Mr Motivator' of the opera world. He's also earned a reputation for being able to attract and nurture some of the industry's most difficult stars. He was born in 1959 in Epping, although his parents were originally from the Campania region of Italy near Naples. The family soon moved to Clapham in South London where Antonio's father worked as a singing coach at a studio in Pimlico. As a boy he studied the piano and, by the age of ten, was his father's regular accompanist. When he was 13, the family moved to Connecticut in America, where he organised school and church choirs and played the piano in a local cocktail bar. He didn't take the traditional career path into the world of opera through college and conservatoire but was sufficiently gifted to become a rehearsal pianist at the New York City Opera by the age of 21. He began to conduct, and soon came to the attention of Daniel Barenboim, who took him on as his assistant. From there he moved to the Opera House in Oslo and, by the age of 32, he was appointed musical director of the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels where he stayed until his move to the Royal Opera House two years ago.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Young and Foolish by Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Book: Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Luxury: A piano
