Today I'm chatting with the oh-so-talented out recording artist Cornelius Versa. Raised on a soundtrack of LeAnn Rimes, Brooks & Dunn, and Verdi, Cornelius blends country storytelling with the drama of his classical roots. His debut album, “The Crystal Cowboy,” is a wide-open jukebox of heartache, rebellion, and queer identity, tracing the road to finally finding his voice. At its core, the new collection is a country album, but the listening experience is bigger than that blending touches of classical arrangements, opera, folk, rock, and pop — or as he likes to call it, “Operatic Americana.” “The Crystal Cowboy,” is available now on all major music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. You can find him on Instagram at instagram.com/corneliusversa, his official website corneliusversa.com, and on YouTube at youtube.com/@corneliusversa

Müzik Yolculuğu'nun bu bölümünde Prof. Dr. Michael Kuyucu, Sezen Aksu'nun sahne kıyafetlerini kime verdiğini açıklıyor. 

Un Preventivo che presenta un deficit di 97 milioni e che non piace a nessuno. Tant'è che sul tavolo del Gran Consiglio, che inizierà la discussione domani, ci sono tre rapporti (erano quattro, inizialmente). Quello di maggioranza - firmato da PLR e Centro – è l'unico che approva, anche se a denti stretti, quasi integralmente la proposta governativa. Quello di minoranza proposto da Ps e Verdi, chiede invece un'inversione di tendenza, abolisce molte voci di riduzione della spesa, aumenta le entrate e conta sugli utili della Banca Nazionale, che quest'anno dovrebbero essere sostanziosi. C'è poi quello targato Lega e uno Udc, che in sostanza rimanda il dossier al Governo, chiedendo di proporre entro 60 giorni un Preventivo che chiuda in pareggio, agendo solo e unicamente sulla spesa. Rapporti completamente diversi quindi gli uni dagli altri, a dimostrazione che nemmeno stavolta si è arrivati a trovare una convergenza sui conti dello Stato e che non esiste – al momento – una maggioranza garantita a favore di uno dei tre rapporti. Insomma, si potrebbe finire – e non sarebbe la prima volta – a dover tornare ad occuparsi del Preventivo a gennaio o febbraio…Ne parliamo con:MATTEO QUADRANTI, capogruppo del PLR, co-relatore del rapporto di maggioranzaMAURIZIO AGUSTONI, capogruppo del Centro co-relatore del rapporto di maggioranza IVO DURISCH, capogruppo del PS, relatore del primo rapporto di minoranza MICHELE GUERRA, deputato della Lega, relatore del terzo rapporto di minoranza (Il secondo – dell'Udc – è stato ritirato e il gruppo democentrista ha aderito al rapporto a firma Lega)

Erzieherinnen, Sozialpädagogen, Polizisten und Lehrerinnen - sie und andere Beschäftigte des öffentlichen Dienstes der Länder sollen bald mehr verdienen. Wie viel mehr, das wird ab heute zwischen Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberseite verhandelt. Insgesamt geht es um mehr als 2 Millionen Beschäftigte der Länder. Nur für Hessen wird separat verhandelt. Verdi und der Deutsche Beamtenbund fordern sieben Prozent mehr Geld - mindestens aber 300 Euro pro Monat, wovon vor allem die unteren Gehaltsgruppen profitieren sollen. Es werden schwierige Verhandlungen - darüber hat im Thema des Tages Moderator Oliver Fritzel mit Birgit Harprath, unserer Tarifexpertin aus der BR-Wirtschaftsredaktion gesprochen.

Lehrer, Polizisten, Justizangestellte - für die Beschäftigten des öffentlichen Dienstes der Länder beginnen heute die Tarifverhandlungen. Verdi fordert sieben Prozent mehr Lohn. Den Arbeitgebern ist das zu viel.

La cassetta dei ricordi"Graphot Edizioni / scritturapuraPresentazione del libro a più voci nato dal progetto della “Cassetta dei ricordi”dedicato al Motovelodromo di Torinocon proiezione del documentario Memorie del Velò, che raccoglie le interviste pubblicate nel volume Motovelodromo. La cassetta dei ricordia cura di Stefano Delmastro, Laura Giachino e Benedetta Lanzapubblicato in coedizione da Graphot e Scritturapura Mercoledì 26 novembre ore 18 – Motovelodromo “Fausto Coppi”corso Casale 144, Torino Intervengono, tra gli altri, Beppe Conti, Fabrizio Rostagno, Carlo Pestelli, Angela Vecchione, Marco PollaroloMercoledì 26 novembre alle ore 18 nello spazio di Al Velò Sport Bistrot del Motovelodromo “Fausto Coppi”, in corso Casale 144 a Torino, verrà presentato il volume nato dal progetto della “Cassetta dei ricordi”, ideato per raccogliere da testimoni diretti e indiretti che a vario titolo hanno frequentato in diverse stagioni il Motovelodromo torinese - inaugurato nel 1920 - le storie più significative legate a quel luogo leggendario della città, tanto quelle sportive – dal ciclismo al rugby passando per il calcio, il football americano e il baseball – quanto quelle di altro genere – dalla musica operistica ai concerti rock –, fino alle esperienze più personali e di quartiere.Intitolato Motovelodromo. La cassetta dei ricordi e curato da Stefano Delmastro, Laura Giachino e Benedetta Lanza, che hanno selezionato il materiale testuale e fotografico raccolto e poi pubblicato in coedizione dalle case editrici Graphot e Scritturapura, il libro raccoglie oltre trenta testimonianze, spesso diversissime, in forma di memorie, racconti e immagini, volte a salvaguardare e condividere momenti, anche privati, di quegli oltre cento anni di storia di un luogo chiave nell'immaginario di Torino, e non solo, qual è il Motovelodromo “Fausto Coppi” - confidenzialmente chiamato Velò -, uno dei più antichi velodromi d'Italia, l'impianto sportivo più antico del Piemonte, monumento sotto tutela della Soprintendenza dal 1994, che ha superato decenni di degrado, fino alla rinascita dal 2021 a oggi e negli anni a venire.Alla presentazione - a cui, tra gli altri, interverranno Beppe Conti, opinionista di Rai Sport che con Graphot e Scritturapura ha pubblicato Storia e leggenda del Motovelodromo, il giornalista Carlo Pestelli, Fabrizio Rostagno di Sport 4 Good, la società di rigenerazione e gestione del Motovelodromo di Torino, la scrittrice Angela Vecchione, che leggerà brani del suo racconto di invenzione sul Velò, l'antropologo e narratore Marco Pollarolo -, verrà inoltre proiettato il documentario Memorie del Velò, realizzato da Francesco Dragone (regista) Mattia Cavaliere (operatore e editor) e Valentina Grani (produttrice), che raccoglie le interviste di sportivi e testimoni di un tempo e di oggi presenti nel volume.Dalla voce di giornalisti, scrittori nonché da quella delle molte altre persone che hanno vissuto quella che potremmo chiamare un'esperienza di vita legata al Motovelodromo e che hanno voluto condividerla, emerge un ritratto più ampio e rotondo, più personale e al tempo stesso più radicato nel territorio di un luogo che, pure, ha visto le imprese di ciclisti indimenticabili come Coppi e Bartali, le sfide dei rugbisti, le “botte da orbi” dei primi scontri del football americano, le mitiche partite di calcio del Grande Torino e della Nazionale negli anni '20 e '30 del Novecento e, ancora, il “Torneo di guerra” del 1944 o la messa in scena di opere come la Carmen di Bizet e l'Aida di Verdi, i concertoni dei Pooh, di Francesco De Gregori e dei Roxy Music.I testimoni e gli autori in ordine di apparizione nel libro sono: Fabrizio Rostagno, di Sport 4 Good, la società di rigenerazione e gestione del Motovelodromo di Torino;

Bruno Bertola, che da bambino viveva accanto al Velò, dove ha imparato a giocare a baseball dai soldati americani e incontrato l'attore Tyrone Power; Emilia Morelli, giocatrice di softball nel dopoguerra e anche una volta diventata mamma; Angelo Marello, novantenne ipertifoso di Coppi, tanto da farsi promotore del monumento che poi è stato dedicato al campionissimo a pochi passi dal Motovelodromo; Federico Molinario, che qui racconta della nascita, nell'estate del 1977, del football americano e della squadra dei Tori Torino che aveva Tuttosport come “media partner”, del Torino degli anni '20 e '30 e della figura del prozio, il calciatore Vittorio Staccione, attivo antifascista che venne deportato e morì a Mauthausen; Guido Barbero, appassionato tifoso ultraottantenne autoctono di Madonna del Pilone, il quartiere del Velò; Bruno De Mari, ciclista dalle buone prospettive, fino a quando gli arrivò la chiamata della Marina Militare;

Andrea Rastello, organizzatore e pistard, ovvero ciclista specializzato nelle corse su pista; Mario Ginevro, che anche grazie al Velò è diventato istruttore di ciclismo e ciclomeccanica; Angela Vecchione, scrittrice che qui propone l'unico racconto inventato ad hoc sul Motovelodromo; Massimiliano Camerlo, che ricorda una stagione di concerti visti gratis dal muretto a fondo campo del Velò al confine con le vecchie case popolari; Ernesto Gavassa, barbiere di zona che racconta la vita di tutti i giorni tra la bocciofila di quartiere e il Motovelodromo; Maurizio Ternavasio, giornalista che ha da poco pubblicato per Graphot un libro su Madonna del Pilone, il quartiere del Motovelodromo; Gianluca Poggio e Enrique Jiménez, che hanno ridato vita a uno storico marchio di birra artigianale, la Bosio-Caratsch, e ne raccontano i legami con lo sport e il Velò.GRAPHOT è una casa editrice indipendente torinese da sempre legata al territorio.

Every hundred or so episodes, I feel compelled to pay a return visit to beloved Hungarian diva Sylvia Sass, for there's always something new and delicious to discover! I've cleaned up another former bonus episode and expanded it with a half-dozen extra tracks, from Verdi to Mozart, from her definitive Bluebeard's Castle to arie antiche topped with a bracing blast of verismo. Then I link up with the previously published bonus episode which samples live excerpts from the two legendary 1976 Verdi performances (Giselda and Violetta) that put Sass on the fast track to operatic superstardom, then pivot to selections from stage works by Offenbach, Respighi, and Gounod that generously flout all of Sylvia's musical and vocal virtues. Especially treasurable are a number of performances of art song by Liszt, Schumann, Schubert, Strauss, Wagner, and Kodály that explore more deeply her career-long commitment to art song. Plus that, three pop selections recorded between 1983 and 2004, simply irresistible to me and (I hope) to you as well! Sass lovers, you're in for a feast! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Dopo esserci occupati dell'Iniziativa per il futuro, diamo spazio all'altro oggetto in votazione a livello federale a fine mese: l'iniziativa popolare denominata “Per una Svizzera che si impegna” (l'Iniziativa Servizio civico). Il testo propone una vera e proprio riforma: introdurre un obbligo di servire per tutti, uomini e donne, un servizio di milizia riconosciuto sul modello di quello militare, da svolgere non necessariamente nell'esercito, ma a favore della collettività, in ambito sociale, sanitario o ambientale per esempio. In questo modo si favorirebbe la coesione sociale e si garantirebbe un'uguaglianza di trattamento, di doveri e di opportunità a donne e uomini. All'esercito e alla protezione civile verrebbero comunque garantiti gli effettivi necessari per funzionare. E' un'iniziativa promossa da numerosi politici provenienti da praticamente tutti i partiti, anche da donne di sinistra, e ha il sostegno anche di militari, oltre che di rappresentanti della società civile. Ma per il Consiglio federale e per la maggioranza del Parlamento va troppo oltre. Ne risulterebbero soprattutto costi elevati per la Confederazione e i Cantoni, e anche l'economia ne risentirebbe in modo significativo. Un servizio civico promuove veramente l'uguaglianza o penalizza ulteriormente le donne? Indebolisce l'esercito o militarizza la società? Favorisce l'impegno di ognuno a favore della collettività oppure introduce un volontariato forzato in ambiti già mal retribuiti?Ne discuteremo conJonathan Binaghi, ufficiale ed ex guardia pontificia, del Comitato d'iniziativa Barbara Di Marco Christoffel, del collettivo “Io l'8”Michele Moor, presidente della Società svizzera degli ufficiali, membro dell'Alleanza sicurezza svizzeraCamilla Tartaglia, dei giovani Verdi liberali

This past September 19th, we observed the anniversary of the death in 1992 of the great Welsh bass-baritone Geraint Evans at the age of 70. A vivid actor and a skilled singer, he both began and ended his career at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, but was a treasured guest at opera houses all over the globe. In 1966, London/Decca records released a recording designed to give full display to his musical, stylistic, and dramatic versatility. In its US issue it was entitled, appropriately enough, Three Centuries of Baritone Art, and in it many of his greatest roles are highlighted, as well as a number of parts, unusual or uncharacteristic for him, which he never performed onstage.  Needless to say, his Mozart roles are in the forefront, as is his exceptional characterization of Verdi's Falstaff, to which he brought a light buffo touch while still retaining a full vocal palette bolstered by a vivid characterization. On this episode, I supplement this album with a delightful recording of Evans singing from Mahler's Knaben Wunderhorn, a wrenching one of his legendary Wozzeck, and a monumental one of Elegy for a Prince, a work for voice and orchestra by William Mathias, written for and dedicated to Evans, who sang the premiere in 1972 and subsequently recorded it in 1977.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 14th Publish Date:  November 14th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 14th and Happy Birthday to Alec John Such I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on pesticides All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: MATCH MAGIC GIVEATHON STORY 1: GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges  Georgia Highlands College is on a roll. Over the past three years, enrollment has jumped 23%, now nearing 6,000 students—a record-breaking pace that’s earned GHC top honors from the USG Board of Regents for the fastest growth among state colleges. “This growth shows how deeply connected we are to the communities we serve,” said President Mike Hobbs. “As Northwest Georgia grows, we’re here to prepare graduates for meaningful careers and help businesses thrive.” Statewide, the University System of Georgia hit an all-time high this fall with 382,142 students, driven by a surge in in-state enrollment. Ready to join? Apply by January at apply.highlands.edu. STORY 2: Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service  Dewayne Morris, a man who lived and breathed public service, was laid to rest Tuesday after passing on Nov. 7 at the age of 63. A lieutenant colonel with the Cobb Sheriff’s Office and a retired sergeant from Cobb County Police, Morris dedicated his life to law enforcement. From his early days at Powder Springs PD to his decades with Cobb Police—where he earned two Meritorious Service medals—he was known for his leadership, grit, and heart. But Dewayne wasn’t just a cop. He loved fast cars, Diet Mountain Dew, Little Debbies, and cheering for the Braves and Hawks. He never met a stranger. A true hero. STORY 3: Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism  Cobb County’s proposed $4.75 monthly stormwater fee is back on the table, but this time, the backlash is quieter—at least for now. Last year, the idea sparked packed meetings and fiery opposition. This week? A handful of speakers, mostly supportive or cautiously critical. The fee would nearly double the stormwater budget, funding overdue repairs, new equipment, and even regional detention projects. Homeowners would pay $4.75 a month, while businesses, churches, and schools would be charged based on impervious surfaces. Critics still call it a “tax,” and some HOAs argue they’re being double-billed. A final vote is set for Nov. 20. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Peer-led mental health center coming to Marietta’s First Presbyterian A new drop-in mental health center is set to open at First Presbyterian Church near Marietta Square, offering something rare: a space for connection, not just treatment. Run by NAMI Cobb, the center will focus on peer-led therapy—think group activities, coffee chats, and one-on-one support with trained specialists who’ve been there. “It’s about community,” said Neill Blake, NAMI Cobb’s programs director. “Sometimes, just coffee and conversation can be life-changing.” Opening early next year, the free center will feature art therapy, games, meditation, and more. For those battling isolation, it’s a lifeline. “Loneliness makes everything worse,” Blake added. “This could save lives.” STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Nov. 14 - 16 Atlanta Opera: ‘La Traviata’ This weekend’s your last chance to catch Verdi’s La Traviata at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

“My job is to make people love choral music as much as I do, and that's a lot. I really love choral music. My job is to say ‘you should care about this.' You might care about it because it's ravishingly beautiful or because it has a story to tell you. Even if you're not a person who relates to choral music, you can relate to stories. We're going to weave some sort of through-line through this program that tells you something about life that we hope resonates with you whether you're a musician or not.”Joshua Habermann is in his seventeenth season as Artistic Director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, one of the nation's premiere professional chamber choirs. Since joining the ensemble, he has broadened its repertoire to include choral-orchestral masterworks and unique concert experiences ranging from early music to new commissions. Under his leadership, the Desert Chorale has been featured at regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association, and its summer and winter festivals are among America's largest choral events.Habermann's experience with symphonic choruses spans over three decades, encompassing the full range of the choral-orchestral repertoire. From 2011 to 2022 he was director of the Dallas Symphony Chorus, where highlights included Bach's St. Matthew Passion, the Requiem Masses of Mozart, Brahms, and Verdi, Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, Bernstein's Kaddish Symphony, Rachmaninov's The Bells, and Vaughan-Williams' Sea Symphony. He is a frequent guest conductor, and in 2022-2023 prepared Handel's Messiah, Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, and Benjamin Britten's War Requiem for the San Francisco Symphony.A passionate advocate for music education, Joshua Habermann is a regular clinician for state and national events and has led honor choirs and choral festivals in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In 2024, he conducted Cantatas 72, 73 and 92 for Bach Santiago (Chile), a concert series dedicated to the first full cycle of Bach Cantatas in South America. He currently teaches choral literature at the University of North Texas.As a singer (tenor), Habermann has performed with the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus under Helmuth Rilling and Conspirare under Craig Hella Johnson. Recording credits include Requiem and Threshold of Night, both GRAMMY® nominees for best choral recording. Recordings as a conductor include The Road Home and Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil with the Desert Chorale.To get in touch with Joshua, you can find him on Facebook (@joshua.habermann) or visit the Santa Fe Desert Chorale website, desertchorale.org.Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

Welcome to BlinkOpera, the Atlanta Opera's bite-sized journey into the heart of great storytelling. In this episode, baritone Anthony Clark Evans guides us through the sweeping emotion and dramatic power of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata—one of the most beloved works in the operatic canon. Evans walks us into the glittering world of Parisian high society, where the radiant courtesan Violetta Valéry discovers a love that promises renewal yet demands impossible sacrifice. With warmth and insight, he unpacks the opera's unforgettable moments: the effervescent brilliance of “Sempre libera,” the tenderness of Violetta and Alfredo's countryside idyll, and the heartbreaking intensity of the final act. Whether you're discovering La Traviata for the first time or returning to a longtime favorite, this quick dive illuminates why Verdi's masterpiece continues to move audiences around the world. Let's begin.

Rufus Wainwright is a singer-songwriter and composer renowned for his distinctive voice and the theatricality of his performances. Born into a family of folk musicians, his mother was Kate McGarrigle and his father is the songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. Since his debut in 1998, his 11 studio albums have been characterised by their candid autobiographical themes, with songs about addiction, sexuality and fraught family dynamics. He has also worked as a classical composer, with his operas Prima Donna and Hadrian, and a choral piece called Dream Requiem. As a performer he has created musical tributes to Judy Garland, Shakespeare's Sonnets, the songs of Kurt Weill, and most recently has staged symphonic versions of his much-loved Want albums.Rufus Wainwright tells John Wilson about his earliest musical experiences, singing with his mother and aunties in Montreal, Canada where he spent his early years. He chooses The Wizard Of Oz as one of his formative creative influences and explains why the film's star, Judy Garland, became such an important musical role model for him. Rufus reveals how hearing Verdi's Requiem at the age of 13 led to a lifelong love of opera and an aspiration to write classical compositions. He also recalls the impact that seeing La Dolce Vita, director Federico Fellini's masterpiece about wealth and decadence in 1960s Rome, had on him as a teenager. Producer: Edwina Pitman

This episode is brought to you by Commerce.For four decades, Ellis Verdi, Founder and President of DeVito/Verdi, has helped shape some of the most talked-about — and often controversial — campaigns in retail advertising. From launching Daffy's with bold, conceptual creative to working with Macy's, Kohl's, Men's Wearhouse and Meijer, Verdi has built a career on one philosophy: tell the truth, even if it ruffles feathers.Retail Remix host Nicole Silberstein sits down with Ellis to discuss what's changed (and what hasn't) about connecting with consumers, the ongoing tension between brand and performance marketing, and why controversy isn't always a bad thing — if it comes from an honest idea.Ellis shares the stories behind some of his favorite campaigns, including the infamous “straightjacket” Duffy's ad that sparked protests, and how ads for Macy's I.N.C. brand and Meijer's private label spinach redefined how retailers communicate value. He also weighs in on recent campaigns — like Levi's x Beyoncé and of course, Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle — that signal a welcome return to upper-funnel brand storytelling.Key Takeaways:Why conceptual advertising still matters in today's performance-driven landscape;How controversy can serve a campaign — when it's rooted in truth; andThe importance of balancing top-of-funnel branding with down-funnel ROI.Related LinksExplore DeVito/Verdi Advertising's creative work and legacyWatch the Macy's I.N.C. ad featuring Heidi KlumWatch the Meijer spinach adRelated reading: The Top 10 Best-Performing Retail Ads from the First Half of 2025Catch up on all episodes of Retail RemixGet more insights from retail industry leaders on Retail TouchPoints -----How to Win Customers Across Every ChannelThis guide from BigCommerce brings you expert insights on data, branding, and marketing to help you grow sales across every major channel.

A soprano Carla Cottini, uma das vozes brasileiras de maior destaque internacional, não apenas percorre os palcos do mundo com interpretações de Mozart, Verdi e outros compositores consagrados: ela também carrega uma reflexão crítica sobre o papel da mulher no universo lírico. “A ópera retrata a realidade. Muitas peças revelam como as coisas mudaram — e também como não mudaram”, afirmou no episódio do Mulheres Reais. Nascida em São Paulo e vencedora do prêmio Revelação no concurso Maria Callas, Cottini construiu uma trajetória que a levou de musicais no Brasil a papéis de protagonista em teatros europeus. Mas, ao longo desse percurso, deparou-se com um repertório que, em suas palavras, evidencia marcas históricas de desigualdade. “Em muitas obras, as mulheres aparecem como submissas, trágicas ou sedutoras, reforçando uma lógica patriarcal. Revisitar esses papéis é sempre a chance de questionar e ressignificar essas representações”, destacou. Para Cottini, essa leitura crítica não anula a potência do gênero operístico. Pelo contrário, a soprano vê na música uma possibilidade de resistência e transformação: “Quando Mozart metaforiza a crítica social em suas óperas, abre espaço para que hoje possamos ampliar essas camadas de leitura. É muito poderoso transformar no palco aquilo que, séculos atrás, já era uma denúncia contra o machismo e a desigualdade de classes”. Além da carreira como solista, Cottini investe em projetos que dão voz a compositoras brasileiras esquecidas pela história. Ao lado do pianista Ricardo Ballestero, grava obras inéditas de mulheres que nunca tiveram suas composições registradas. “É surpreendente e emocionante trazer à tona músicas maravilhosas que permaneceram invisíveis apenas por terem sido escritas por mulheres”, disse. A maternidade e a formação em psicanálise também atravessam seu olhar artístico, reforçando o compromisso com uma escuta atenta e feminina. O podcast Mulheres Reais é apresentado por Carolina Ercolin e Luciana Garbin e está disponível semanalmente em todas as plataformas de áudio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is the latest installment in my series entitled “Rescue Mission,” which reintroduces great singers who have already been featured on the podcast. This is the Belated Birthday edition of that series, which reintroduces us to a wide range of Countermelody favorites, including jazz singer Ethel Ennis; baritones Robert Massard, Gérard Souzay, and Andrzej Hiolski; sopranos Sylvia Sass (pictured), Veronica Tyler, April Cantelo, Elly Ameling, Gloria Davy, Margaret Marshall, Rosanna Carteri, Sarah Reese, Ilse Wolf, and Carol Neblett; mezzo-sopranos Jennie Tourel, Maureen Lehane, and Shannon Bolin; and tenors David Rendall and Stuart Burrows. The repertoire is as varied and rare as are the artists featured, including songs by Rimsky-Korsakov, Chopin, Malcolm Williamson, and Alec Wilder; opera arias by Schreker, Mozart, Mascagni, and Verdi; and selections by Bach and Schütz. I love doing this kind of episode, because it allows me to cast my net wide and share with you the kinds of singers and repertoire that are bringing me comfort and joy in these trying times. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Kanzler Merz hat einen “Herbst der Reformen” angekündigt. Gewerkschaften befürchten Sozialabbau - und skizzieren Alternativen.

Send us a textSeveral friends and neighbors have moved out of the United States over the past year, and many more Alaskans are talking about it. Today's guest is an opera historian who has been living in Berlin, Germany, for the past 13 years. Daniel Gundlach is a former professional classical singer and accompanist who today hosts a podcast called Countermelody. The Countermelody Podcast is focused primarily on opera singers of the past century that may not have received the attention they deserved. Daniel is a countertenor which is a type of classical male singing voice equivalent to that of a female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice type. Today we talk about his life and career, but we will also discuss the trials and tribulations of being an American emigrant in Germany. Musical Excerpts:Leontyne Price, "O patria mia," from Verdi's AidaJoan Sutherland, "Eccola," from Donizetti's Lucia di LammermoorAnna Moffo, "Sempre Libera," from Verdi's La TraviataGilda Cruz-Romo, "O mio babbino caro," from Puccini's Gianni SchicchiDaniel Gundlach, "O Lord, whose mercies numberless," from Handel's SaulDaniel Gundlach, "O fatal day," from Handel's SaulDaniel Gundlach, "On a dit sur Venise tant et tant de choses," from Gualtiero Dazzi's Le Luthier de VeniseDaniel Gundlach, "Danny Boy," Irish Folk Song

A brand-new episode today inaugurating a series of episodes belatedly celebrating my birthday that will see us through to the end of the month. I have so many singers, composers, and topics in which I am interested and hope to devote full episodes to in the near future. This is the first of two episodes focusing on baritones (and a few bass-baritones) who have not yet received full Countermelody treatment. Among the singers included: Josef Metternich, Tom Krause, Walter Berry, Theodor Uppman (pictured), Erich Kunz, Charles Panzéra, Roland Hermann, Aubrey Pankey, Kostas Paskalis, Pavel Lisitsian, Gianni Maffeo, John Shirley-Quirk, and exemplary pop singers Scott Walker and David Allyn singing a wide range of music from art songs of Sibelius, Rachmaninov, Griffes, Diepenbrock, and Vaughan Williams, to mélodies by Ravel, Debussy, and Hahn, to Lieder by Schubert and Brahms, to operetta arias to opera scenes and arias by Leoncavallo, Verdi, and Manfred Gurlitt; to pop songs by Randy Newman and Rodgers and Hart. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: also teased are forthcoming episodes on arie antiche and the Polish-Swiss composer Constantin Regamey. Come to think of it, today's is an excellent introduction to the Countermelody podcast in all its range and scope.

This Day in Legal History: Spiro Agnew ResignsOn October 10, 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned from office after pleading nolo contendere (no contest) to a charge of federal income tax evasion. This marked the first time in U.S. history that a sitting vice president resigned due to criminal charges. Agnew, who had been under investigation for bribery, extortion, and tax fraud from his time as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland, struck a deal with federal prosecutors to avoid jail time.Agnew's resignation came amid the broader constitutional crisis surrounding the Nixon administration, which was already under intense scrutiny due to the unfolding Watergate scandal. While Agnew denied the bribery allegations, he admitted he failed to report $29,500 in income received in 1967. As part of the plea agreement, he was fined $10,000 and placed on three years' probation, but avoided prison.His departure triggered the use of the 25th Amendment, specifically Section 2, which allows the president to nominate a new vice president when a vacancy occurs. President Nixon nominated Gerald R. Ford, then House Minority Leader, who was confirmed by both chambers of Congress. Less than a year later, Nixon himself would resign, and Ford would ascend to the presidency—making him the only U.S. president never elected to the office of president or vice president.New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted on October 9, 2025, for allegedly providing false information on a mortgage application. A federal grand jury in Virginia charged her with bank fraud and making a false statement to a lending institution, accusing her of falsely claiming she would use a property in Norfolk, Virginia, as a secondary residence. The indictment alleges that by misrepresenting her intent, James secured a lower interest rate, saving around $19,000. She denies wrongdoing and called the charges a politically motivated attack by the Trump administration, which she has clashed with repeatedly.The case follows a recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and ongoing investigations into other Trump critics, including Senator Adam Schiff and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Critics, including James' attorney Abbe Lowell and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, claim Trump is using the Justice Department for political retaliation. The case was brought by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a recent Trump appointee, reportedly without involvement from career prosecutors. James is expected to appear in court on October 24.The legal battle comes amid ongoing litigation between James and Trump, most notably a civil fraud case that initially led to a $454 million penalty against Trump, later overturned on appeal. James' team plans to fight the charges vigorously, suggesting her misstatements were not intentional.Letitia James, NY attorney general and Trump foe, indicted for mortgage fraud | ReutersA federal judge in Chicago has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois, citing concerns that the move could escalate tensions rather than ease them. U.S. District Judge April Perry questioned the federal government's justification for sending troops to manage what it described as unrest around an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. The state had sued the Trump administration, arguing the deployment was unnecessary and politically motivated. Perry noted that federal officers' own actions had sparked the protests and warned that additional troops would “add fuel to the fire.” Her injunction will remain in place until at least October 23.This ruling follows a similar block in Portland, Oregon, though a federal appeals court in San Francisco now seems poised to overturn that decision, possibly clearing the way for future deployments. The Trump administration has defended the use of troops, claiming it's necessary to protect federal property, while Democratic leaders in affected states accuse the president of misrepresenting peaceful protests as violent uprisings.Governor JB Pritzker called the court's ruling a win for the rule of law, arguing there's no rebellion requiring a military response in Illinois. The White House, meanwhile, pledged to appeal the decision, with Trump reiterating plans to expand troop deployments to other cities, including Chicago and Memphis. Critics argue this strategy stretches the limits of presidential authority and raises legal concerns over the military's role in domestic law enforcement.US judge blocks Trump's deployment of National Guard in Illinois | ReutersThe U.S. Senate confirmed Jennifer Mascott, a conservative legal scholar and Trump ally, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-47 vote, further shifting the court to the right. Her confirmation drew criticism from Democrats, particularly from Delaware senators, who objected to her lack of ties to the state traditionally associated with the vacant seat. Her only known Delaware connection is a beach house, prompting concerns about broken precedent and political loyalty.Mascott, who has clerked for Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, was on leave from her faculty position at Catholic University while working in the White House Counsel's Office. Senate Republicans praised her conservative legal background and past testimony before the Judiciary Committee. In contrast, Democrats criticized her nomination as partisan, with Senator Chuck Schumer labeling her a “sycophant” to Trump.This appointment, along with the recent confirmation of Emil Bove—a former Trump DOJ official and personal attorney—gives Republican appointees a majority on the 3rd Circuit, which hears appeals from Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.Democrats also voiced frustration over the elimination of the “blue slip” tradition, which once allowed home-state senators to block appellate nominees. Republicans ended that practice during Trump's first term, enabling confirmations like Mascott's over local opposition. On the same day, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced another Trump nominee, Rebecca Taibleson, despite objections from her home-state senator.US Senate confirms Trump nominee Mascott to federal appeals court | ReutersA Republican-controlled Senate committee approved two of President Donald Trump's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) but delayed action on a third, leaving the agency without the quorum needed to issue decisions. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee voted 12-11 to advance James Murphy, a retired NLRB lawyer, to the board and Crystal Carey, a labor attorney, as general counsel. However, a planned vote on Scott Mayer, Boeing's chief labor counsel, was pulled after he clashed with Senator Josh Hawley during his confirmation hearing.The NLRB has been unable to function fully since Trump's firing of Democratic board member Gwynne Wilcox in January and the expiration of another Republican member's term. Wilcox is challenging her dismissal in court, and the Supreme Court has allowed her removal to stand pending resolution. Without at least three board members, the NLRB cannot issue rulings, stalling hundreds of cases — including many involving union elections.Trump's nominees would give Republicans control of the board for the first time since 2021. Democrats expressed concern over the independence of the nominees, noting the precedent of Wilcox's dismissal and questioning whether the new appointees could remain neutral. Both Murphy and Mayer insisted they would apply the law impartially, regardless of political pressure.Mayer faced particular scrutiny over a current strike involving Boeing workers in Missouri. Hawley criticized Boeing's executive compensation amid labor disputes, while Mayer declined to comment on the situation, citing his pending nomination. The HELP Committee also approved other Trump nominees for roles within the Department of Labor.US Senate panel approves two Trump NLRB nominees, tables a third | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Giuseppe Verdi.This week's closing theme features a composer whose name is nearly synonymous with Italian opera — Giuseppe Verdi, born on or around October 10, 1813, in the small village of Le Roncole, then part of the Napoleonic French Empire. Best known for grand operas like La Traviata, Aida, and Rigoletto, Verdi's music defined the emotional and political voice of 19th-century Italy. Though his legacy rests almost entirely on the opera stage, Verdi briefly stepped into the world of chamber music with a single, striking contribution: his String Quartet in E minor, composed in 1873.He wrote it during a production delay of Aida in Naples, saying modestly it was “just a trifle” — but the work is anything but. The first movement, Allegro vivace, opens with an energetic, tightly woven interplay among the instruments, showcasing Verdi's grasp of counterpoint and formal structure, likely influenced by his admiration for German composers like Beethoven. There's a dramatic drive that feels operatic, yet the themes unfold with the clarity and discipline of a seasoned instrumentalist.It's the only surviving chamber piece Verdi completed, and it stands as a fascinating outlier in his body of work — more intimate, abstract, and inward-looking than his vocal dramas. The movement balances lyrical passages with bursts of rhythmic vitality, hinting that even without voices, Verdi could make instruments sing. As we mark the week of his birth, this selection offers a rare glimpse into the quieter, more introspective corners of a composer usually associated with sweeping arias and rousing choruses.
