Violist, postzegelhandelaar, waterpoloër. Als de Tweede Wereldoorlog uitbreekt, leidt Wormerveerder ‘Toffie' Hofland een onbezorgd leven. De oorlog maakt daar een abrupt eind aan. Over het veelbewogen leven van Toffie Hofland schreef zijn neef Jan Schoen – onder de naam Jan Scarpa – de roman In het pak genaaid. Piet Bakker sprak met de auteur. In dit eerste deel staat het verzetswerk van Toffie centraal.

Bruckners kortste symfonie, maar - anders dan de titel doet vermoeden - niet zijn eerste. Het is wel de eerste symfonie die hij een nummer gaf en waarmee hij zichzelf op veertigjarige leeftijd presenteerde als symfonicus. Wij horen in alles al het inmiddels bekende Bruckner-geluid. Maar in die tijd was het een modern, uitdagend en heel ambitieus stuk. En dat werd lang niet door iedereen gewaardeerd... De Duitse fluitist Kersten McCall is deze aflevering te gast en is naar eigen zeggen dol op Bruckner. Hij kan er geen genoeg van krijgen. Aan het einde van het tweede deel spelen de fluitisten een belangrijke, maar lastige hoofdrol. Wat doet Kersten met zijn twee medefluitisten om ervoor te zorgen dat zij deze passage niet verknallen? Wil je Bruckners muziek zelf beluisteren?

Er lijkt een vloek te rusten op negende symfonieën. Ook bij Bruckner. Net als vele collega-componisten blies hij namelijk zijn laatste adem uit terwijl hij de Negende symfonie nog niet had afgerond. Hij voltooide drie van de vier delen. Het derde moest het mooiste deel worden van deze symfonie, die hij opdroeg aan Onze Lieve Heer. In de eerste vier maten van dit deel maakt hij meteen een bijzonder statement. Het Concertgebouworkest speelt de Negende symfonie trouwens wél in zijn geheel, met het volgens de laatste inzichten gereconstrueerde slotdeel.Te gast in deze aflevering is violiste Henriette Luytjes. Haar liefde voor Bruckner was er niet direct. Ze kan er zelfs boos om worden dat ze zichzelf het genot om Bruckner te spelen zo lang onthouden heeft. Waarom is het voor de violisten zo ontzettend genieten om de Negende te spelen? En wat maakt het ook weer spannend, om niet te zeggen angstaanjagend? Wil je Bruckners muziek zelf beluisteren?

De Zesde symfonie is wat korter dan Bruckners andere symfonieën, en beduidend lichter van toon. ‘Die Sechste ist die keckste', vond Bruckner zelf: de vrolijkste, de brutaalste.Altviolist Roland Krämer van het Concertgebouworkest is deze keer te gast. Hij is van oorsprong Duits, en vertaalt het als 'de meest gedurfde': over deze symfonie voelde Bruckner zich zeker. Na voltooiing in 1881 heeft Bruckner er dan ook niets meer aan veranderd. De Zesde symfonie start met een klaagzang vol verdriet, als ware het een legeraftocht. Maar in de overige delen wordt de toon steeds lichter. Roland spreekt van een optimistisch, gelukzalig gevoel. Tragiek die uiteindelijk oplost in vrede, waardoor je uiteindelijk voldaan weer naar huis gaat. Maar de symfonie is wel heel uitdagend om te spelen.

Called "one of the biggest talents of his generation," Elias David Moncado, at a very young age, has already had an exceptional career. After winning his first competition at the age of 6, then his first international competition at the age of 8, he went on to win four major competitions after that (the Sendai Violin Competition in 2019, the International Karol Lipinski Violin Competition in 2019 (first grand prize and ten special prizes), the Valesia Musica Competition in 2021, and the Vladimir Spivakov Competition in 2021). His debut album was released in 2022 with works by Hindemith, Poulenc, and Bartok. Equally involved in different types of chamber music, he is a well-established international artist who is still just at the beginning of his career.We begin with my asking Elias about his very early beginnings as a violinist, his early studies with Professor Latica Honda-Rosenberg, and then his phenomenal success at international competitions. I asked about his mental outlook during those competitions, and his answer was both a surprise and revealing to me. We then speak about interpretation and memorization (and how he is able to memorize so many major concerti), and his thoughts about concentration.(Part 2 for Subscribers): During Covid, when he had no in-person performance opportunities, Elias learned the fiendishly difficult Bartok solo sonata as a way of using his free time to challenge himself. In 2022 he released his first solo album, and we talk about why he didn't record standard repertoire for his first recording. Because Elias is also deeply involved in playing chamber music, we talk about time management, and managing a career... "you need to create a full package as an artist." I then ask about the two 18th-century violins he plays, and we end with Elias talking about his special musical relationship with Anne Sophie Mutter.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

Bruckner noemde zijn Vierde symfonie de ‘Romantische', doelend op de nostalgie naar een geromantiseerd verleden die in de negentiende eeuw in zwang was. Bruckner neemt de luisteraar mee op een reis die begint bij het ochtendgloren in een middeleeuws stadje, waar de burgers worden gewekt door hoornsignalen. De stadspoorten gaan open en de ridders trekken de omliggende bossen in. Naast Bruckner-kenner Axel Meijer schuift in deze aflevering violiste Nienke van Rijn van het Concertgebouworkest aan. Haar liefde voor Bruckners muziek begon al op haar twaalfde. Wat raakt haar zo in Bruckners composities?Nienke heeft heel vaak symfonieën van Bruckner gespeeld. Maar één concert is haar altijd bijgebleven, omdat de dirigent iets heel onverwachts deed…Wil je Bruckners muziek zelf beluisteren?

Deze Tweede symfonie gaat ook wel door het leven als de ‘Pausensymphonie' - en dat heeft alles te maken met de vele stiltes. Waarom deed Bruckner dat? Jet Berkhout probeert samen met Bruckner-expert Axel Meijer en Marleen Asberg, violist bij het Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest, het antwoord op deze vraag te vinden.Marleen legt uit dat de stiltes een belangrijk onderdeel vormen van de symfonie en meer zijn dan stiltes alleen, je moet ze echt spélen. Deze symfonie heeft voor haar extra betekenis, ze speelde hem namelijk toen ze nog maar net bij het orkest zat. Dat concert staat in haar geheugen gegrift.Bruckner wordt vaak gezien als de onbegrepen kunstenaar die veel tegenslagen te verwerken krijgt, maar dat beeld is niet geheel juist, zo weet Axel te vertellen.Wil je Bruckners muziek zelf beluisteren?

De Vijfde Symfonie van Bruckner laat zich het best vergelijken met een lange bergwandeling, waarbij een hoge top bedwongen moet worden. Althans, volgens Anna de Vey Mestdagh. Zij is violist bij het Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest en een groot liefhebber van deze compositie, die zij zelfs als onderdeel ziet van haar muzikale DNA.Deze veelzijdige Bruckner-compositie werkt toe naar een meesterlijk slotstuk. Bruckner-expert Axel Meijer plaatst deze Vijfde Symfonie in de chronologie van Bruckners leven en probeert te reconstrueren wat de componist dreef bij het maken van deze compositie. Ook al is dit misschien niet de meest toegankelijke symfonie van Bruckner, het inspireerde ondertussen wel de befaamde rockband The White Stripes. Sterker nog, zelfs in voetbalstadions wordt een bepaalde Bruckner-melodie nog altijd massaal meegezongen. Jet Berkhout gaat met bovengenoemde gasten op onderzoek. Bruckner zelf beluisteren?

How do you feel about improvising on a stringed instrument? While there are many musicians who specialise in this craft, you wouldn't have to search far for string players where mention of the words ‘improv' and ‘solo' is enough to strike fear into their hearts. Violist and composer Jessica Meyer spoke to online editor and cellist Davina about how the word ‘improvisation' can be seemingly daunting for string players, and how it helps to approach it as ‘making choices'. She shares her story with incorporating improvisation in her warm-ups, and how the mind-body connection of music making inspires her and her students to create their own exercises to further enhance their playing. Jessica's new composer/performer portrait album I long and seek after will be released on 22 March on New Focus Recordings.

Unieke inkijk in de wereld van de klassieke muziek Uitgegeven door Thomas Rap Spreker: Marc Daniel van Biemen

New Classical Tracks - Georgina Rossi and Silvie Cheng by Georgina Rossi (viola) and Silvie Cheng (piano) – Chorinho (Navona Records)“This music, it's so personal to us and I think you can really hear that in the recording,” says pianist Silvie Cheng. “It tugs on your heartstrings because we've poured in every ounce of soul and our love into it. Both our love for the music but also our love for each other.”Cheng is a Tokyo-born Chinese Canadian pianist. She and Chilean American violist Georgina Rossi met while they were attending the Manhattan School of Music in New York. That's where they shared an apartment and discovered their love of Latin American music. Their second recording together, titled Chorinho, celebrates the sounds of Brazil.Cheng: “One of the pieces that we recorded by Souza Lima is called Chorinho, and so we just thought it was a nice way to not only enter into this world, but also pay homage to the traditions of music in Brazil.”Rossi: “The choro can roughly be translated into the idea of a lament or cry. But I also felt like it was the right title for the album because the viola tends to get assigned all of these melancholic and elegiac types of music. And so, to me, it felt perfect that everywhere in the world the choro or the lament is perfectly suited to the voice of the viola. It's a way of saying that this is an album of viola music from Brazil.”Let's talk about the other world premieres on this recording. One is a piece for solo viola. Georgina, I'm wondering, what does that mean to you to be able to include a solo work like this on this recording?Rossi: “Well, Ernani Aguiar is the only living composer on the record. I was so happy to get to communicate with him directly and share the CD with him when it came out. He was very happy about it. I think he liked it.”The largest work on this recording is the Sonata for Viola and Piano by Breno Blauth. Could you tell us what we're hearing in the piece and what you enjoy the most about playing it?Cheng: “There's actually many moments that reminded us of perhaps Shostakovich or even Hindemith because of the harmonic language. I think it's for sure one of the pieces on the album that treats the two instruments as equal partners, and it covers such a wide spectrum of human emotions. There's intimate, tender moments. There's exuberant, almost feisty moments. It's a wonderful journey for our two instruments to have this dialog together.”There's another fascinating composer who closes out this recording, and the piece you feature is is only a couple of minutes long. Her story, though, is so fascinating. I would love for you to tell us more about Chiquinha Gonzaga.Rossi: “She was a pianist and composer, and she was Brazil's first woman conductor. She was a descendant of nobility on one side and slavery on the other, and she was in an arranged marriage where she was pressured by her father and her husband to quit music. And instead of doing that, she abandoned that marriage.”Cheng: “And I think speaking to contemporary women musicians, we really felt it important to include a woman composer on this album, especially given the challenges that she faced in order to have her work be appreciated and heard. She wrote over 2000 songs and one of which, of course, is Lua Branca, which is featured on the album. It's kind of the perfect way to close out this narrative that we've created.” Watch on YouTubeResourcesGeorgina Rossi and Silvie Cheng – Chorinho (Amazon)Georgina Rossi and Silvie Cheng – Chorinho (Navona Records)Georgina Rossi (official site)Silvie Cheng (official site)

Our guest in this episode is violist Matthew Lipman, one of his generation's great talents! After sufficient fan-girling, we got to ask Matt all of our burning questions about life in the most high-profile of freelancing careers: as a soloist and professional chamber musician. If there's anything universal about a career in music, it's how we stitch our identities into how we perceive success. We talk with Matt about what success means to him, as well as the important yet restrictive practices that are preventing us from exposing our art to a broader audience, and maybe even a little astrology - yes, we may be getting a little ‘woo-woo' today…Enjoy getting to know Matt, a beautiful musician with an important voice in the future of ‘classical' music!**If you enjoyed this episode, please consider rating and writing a quick review for our podcast! 10% discount on The ArcRest!

Humanities West presents a performance, and an elucidation, of Mozart's String Quintet in G minor, K. 516, composed in Vienna in 1787. It is widely considered to be among Mozart's greatest and most tragic works. But the Quintet is not only “tragic”; it is a “tragedy” in the mode of the ancient Greeks: the enactment of the story of a hero who meets a catastrophic fate. Mozart scholar Steve Machtinger will demonstrate how Mozart imbued the work with musical symbols that convey its tragic narrative. The program will include a live performance by the Hatzfeld Quintet of all four movements of Mozart's String Quintet in G minor.  MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond SPEAKERS Steve Machtinger Attorney; Violist; Independent Mozart Scholar Musical performance by the Hatzfeld Quintet: Monika Gruber and Emanuela Nikiforova, Violins; Steve Machtinger and Jennifer Sills, Violas; and Louella Hasbun, Cello George Hammond Author, Conversations With Socrates In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently hosting all of our live programming via YouTube live stream.

This is Part 2 of a great three-part conversation with St. Louis Symphony Orchestra violist Michael Casimir. If you, or someone you know, wants to be a professional artist, this is a must listen. Michael answers the big question - does he think young people should "go for it." The episode begins with him resolving the cliff hanger at the end of Part 1 - does he still hear those voices in his head that tell him he got the job because he's a person of color.  He gives props to teacher Roberto Diaz of Curtis Institute who inspired him to not go down the road of pursuing substitute positions reserved for black musicians, and instead "break down the door" by striving to be the best of the best and win a position outright based on sheer talent.  He talks about having stand partners at Julliard and Curtis  years younger than him who played better, and how it lead to panic attacks over thoughts of being an unemployed musician. Michael offers fascinating insights into the harrowing process of auditioning for professional orchestras. Host Steve Fisher also shares what he typically advises young people to do when they ask if they should go into the arts, and cites the exception he made with Michael's fellow Keystone State Boychoir (KSB) alum Bobby Hill in the aftermath of his spontaneous, viral performance for the Pope. Steve and Michael talk about the importance of authentic partner arts programs with under-resourced schools, the importance of community-based arts programs for both underserved AND privileged young people. Steve  tells a funny but poignant story about two founding members of KSB, from very different backgrounds, on a flight to South Africa. Steve and Michael also muse on other topics, such as how not boring your audience is more important than being artistically perfect, letting your body "sing," and what it takes to get your task master Dad to finally give you the keys to the car.  You can visit Michael's website here.  Join the podcast e-list by clicking here and be entered into a drawing to win a trip to New York to see The Last Boy...a new play with music on Broadway, meet the cast backstage and attend the VIP after-party. 

This podcast has often remembered young men who never realized their potential because of hate and discrimination. Here's a young man who HAS - St. Louis Symphony Orchestra violist Michael Casimir. Michael was raised in West Philadelphia, a real life Fresh Prince of...Missouri. Unlike Will Smith's character, Michael was not troubled. In fact, his father's dedication to his son's musical future ensured Michael didn't have a lot of time to get in trouble.  But that's not to say he didn't have fun and get into a bit of mischief along the way - including his concert tour adventures in South Africa, Brazil, Alaska and Japan as a founding member of Keystone State Boychoir.  Michael recounts hilarious stories with his fellow choirboys, as well as how his experiences in a boychoir helped him achieve his dream.  He and host Steve Fisher also talk frankly about racism - not only in the world, but within ourselves. Don't miss Part 1 of a fascinating three part conversation with someone who has beat the odds. You can visit Michael's website here. The piece heard throughout this podcast is Handel/Halvorsen's Passacglia for violin and viola, with Elissa Lee Koljonen on violin and Michael Casimir on viola. To watch it on YouTube, click here.

“Differences that we have and diversity in the biggest sense is going to become the focal point of the arts… The theme of the next chapter is inclusion in all areas.” Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the forefront of countless industries, and music is no different.This episode, we sit down with Alabama Symphony Orchestra Assistant Conductor, Kevin Fitzgerald, and Violist, Kurt Tseng to talk about juggling relationship and career, as well as their experiences being LGBTQ+ musicians. Authenticity and self development are at the forefront of their experience, working to bring their whole selves to their work and their life everyday. “Had the world not stopped… I wouldn't be where I am right now.”
