In der fünften Episode der Tocotronic Werkschau beschäfitgen wir uns mit dem 2007er Album KAPITULATION und schweifen erneut ab.KAPITULATION heißt das achte Studioalbum von Tocotronic, das im Juli 2007 erschienen und Gegenstand des fünften Teils unserer Tocotronic-Werkschau ist. Die Shownotes gibt es zum Ausklappen wie immer weiter unten. Ansonsten reden wir kurz über das vergangene Jahr (da es so lange keine neue Episode gab - Schande!), vor allem aber nicht ausschließlich hinsichtlich der Band, die Gegenstand unseres Jahrzehntprojekts ist. Dabei stellen wir erstaunliche Querverbindungen und Zirkelschlüsse her, die später und viel später wieder in der Folge aufgenommen werden (achtet einfach mal auf die Erwähnungen von Kristof Schreuf, Jan Schwarzkamp oder Krokodil). Das Beste: Wir haben bereits die Aufnahmesessions zum neunten Output "Schall und Wahn" (2010) terminiert und dieses Mal quäle ich mich auch nicht ewig damit rum, zu meinen, ich müsste irgendetwas zu Tode optimieren und gefällig schneiden, denn als ich endlich unser Rohmaterial sichtete, also hörte, stellte ich fest: Das kommt alles wie aus einem Guss und gerade unsere Abschweifungen oder wenn man uns wortwörtlich beim Denken Zuhören kann, sind Hochgenüsse, die man gerne teilt.Christians Alben des Jahres 2022 könnt ihr ausführlich im taz-Popblog bewundern, meine (Motors) drei sind im Podcast genannt. Wie später angemerkt, war die zweite Nerven-Vorabsingle nach "Europa" der zweite Track "Keine Bewegung" des grandiosen Hunde-Albums Die "zweite Single" (Christian) "Ich hasse es hier" ist genau genommen die fünfte Auskopplung nach Hoffnung, Jugend ohne Gott gegen Faschismus, Ich tauche auf und Nie wieder Krieg. Das angesprochene Video mit Systemsprenger-Star Helena Zengel gibt es bei YouTube. Den Ausnahme der Rose-Hörspiel-Podcast (auch für Menschen, die Hörspiele verachten - ich melde mich eifrig - super geeignet), mit dem wunderbaren Felix Scharlau und Deutschlands Musik-Journalisten Nummer 1, Linus Volkmann, gibt es hier . Das bunte Potpourri an Jochen-Distelmeyer-Podcasts hat Heimstätten im Reflektor-Podcast mit Jan Müller, Bei Nilz Bokelbergs Nilz Bokelberg Erfahrung und in Jan Schwarzkamps Soundtrack meines Lebens. Beim Soundtrack meines Lebens war auch Frank Spilker zu Gast und erzählt nicht uninteressantes zum Thema Hauen und Stechen in der Hamburger Schule der 90er Jahre. Von Kristof Schreuf empfehlen wir ALLES, die Show "Der Firmenhymnenhandel" von Thomas Ebermann mit Kristof Schreuf als Live-Soundtrack gibt es als Mitschnitt bei YouTube. Ein älteres Interview mit Sharon Stoneds very own Mark Kowarsch gibt es im RIOT RADIO Podcast. Dabei beschreibt Kristof Schreuf seine Vorgehensweise bei den Quasi-Mashups und es gibt einige Soundbeispiele für die tolle Platte "Bourgeois with guitar". Der russische (Motor) bzw. DDR-Chor (Christian), der angeblich vor Ingrid Cavens "Die großen weißen Vögel" (und am Ende der Tocotronic-Konzerte der Zehner-Jahre) erklang, gehört im Übrigen direkt zum Stück selbst. Musik und Text stammen dabei von Ludwig van Beethoven, der Chor ist der New England Conservatory Chorus bzw. Westminster Choir. Ingrid Caven - Die großen weißen Vögel (Der Abendstern, 1979) Den unfassbaren HAL-Remix zum Manifest von Tocotronic vs. Pantha Du Prince gibt es natürlich auch zum Online-Verkonsummieren.Alle Folgen im Überblick gibt es unter www.motorhorst.de/podcast

This episode of Spoleto Backstage highlights one of Geoff Nuttall’s all-time favorite programs from the Spoleto Festival USA Chamber Music Series: the eleventh and final concert from the 2018 season. As Geoff discusses with Bradley Fuller before the music begins, the wide-ranging, variety-packed lineup of this program is emblematic of the chamber series as a whole. To start, the men of the Westminster Choir join the regular chamber musicians for a performance of Franz Schubert’s sublime choral setting of Goethe’s “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern.” Cellist Joshua Roman and pianist Gilles Vonsattel then perform Ludwig van Beethoven’s Cello Sonata in C major, Op. 102. Following the late Beethoven work is Antonio Vivaldi’s stormy “Summer” concerto from The Four Seasons . For the final two pieces of the program, tenor Paul Groves takes center stage with a performance of two hit arias: Gaetano Donizetti’s “Una furtiva lagrima” (from L’elisir d’amore ) and Charles Gounod’s “Salut! Demeure

This month's salute to Beethoven on his 250th anniversary year, is a 1939 performance of the Choral Fantasy Op. 80. The NBC Symphony & the Westminster Choir are conducted by Arturo Toscanini. Ania Dorfmann is the pianist.

Westminster Choir conductor Joe Miller and Marjorie Herman discuss the repertoire and theme of the Westminster Choir's January 2019 tour program titled Half Acre.Taking its title from Dan Messé's lyrical song Half Acre, the program includes choral masterworks ranging from Claudio Monteverdi’s Hor che’l ciel e la terra to Ted Hearne’s thought-provoking Consent to Ēriks Ešenvalds’ evocative Long Road, as well as American folk songs and spirituals.

Conductor Joe Miller and producer Malcolm Bruno discuss the repertoire and concept behind Westminster Choir’s new recording.In his Mass for Double Choir, Frank Martin's use of a motet in the style of J.S. Bach juxtaposed with his sonic and exotic harmonic palette of the early 20th century is a formula for exciting music.This is the first recording of Anders Öhrwall’s arrangement of the beloved Swedish folk tune Fäbodpsalm från Dalarna, and it’s distinguished by performances by David Kim, Concertmaster for The Philadelphia Orchestra, and soprano Sherezade Panthaki, an acknowledged star in the early music field.It also contains much-anticipated release of Lux Surgit Aurea (See the golden sun arise), which was composed by Bernat Vivancos for the Westminster Choir to perform at the 2017 World Symposium on Choral Music in Barcelona.

Westminster Choir conductor Joe Miller joins WWFM The Classical Network host David Osenberg to discuss the repertoire and theme of the Westminster Choir’s 2018 tour program, titled “Listen.” Centered on Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir, one of the great masterworks of the 20th century’s a cappella repertoire, the program introduces the audience another sound world with a performance of György Ligeti’s Lux Aeterna, made famous in Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001 – A Space Odyssey. Other works include Little Lamb by Joel Phillips and works by Edward Bairstow, Nilo Alcala, Tim Brent and Randall Thompson.

Frank reviews the Westminster Choir concert and Waiting for Godot from the 2017 Spoleto Festival USA. Read Full Dispatch > There are few settings in Charleston more idyllic for a concert than the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul. Watching the late afternoon light as it slants through the windows on the west side of the sanctuary, with the stained glass behind the altar providing a dramatic backdrop to the Westminster Choir in their evening attire, you feel like you’re in for a special experience, and indeed, you are. The Westminster Choir has been the Choir in Residence at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston for many years, since the days when the ensemble was led by the legendary Joseph Flummerfelt. Upon Flummerfelt’s retirement, Joe Miller assumed the role, and he continues the tradition of presenting sublime a cappella concerts in that special hour before a late spring evening gets underway. Miller has distinguished himself by programming especially thoughtful and inventive choral performances, and the concert I attended on Memorial Day is a perfect example of his approach. Contemporary settings of sacred texts in Latin formed the bookends of the first part of the concert. “Lux surgit aurea” – “See the golden sun arise” – by Bernat Vivancos harkens back to medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony at the opening and close, but in the middle enters an ethereal, contemporary realm. On the far side of the concert program, “Laudibus in Sanctis” – “Celebrate the Lord Most High” – by Ugis Praulins had dramatic shifts in mood propelled by driving rhythms reminiscent of Carl Orff. In between there was an Abendstandschen, or Evensong, by Johannes Brahms that featured his characteristically rich choral writing, and a setting by Kile Smith of the words of the Apollo 8 astronauts on Christmas Eve of 1968 which was made otherworldly by the use of hand bells and the resonant droning of high soprano voices. There was also an infectious pair of folk hymns, sung in the distinctive, American 18 th century shape note style of singing. These were sung by a subset of the choir separating from the group and assembling in the crossing between the transepts of the cathedral; and a stirring spiritual, “Yonder Come Day,” with alto soloists Taria Mitchell and Pauline Taumalolo, as well as percussion provided by choir members using a tambourine and a broom handle. Paul Crabtree’s “Death and Resurrection” brought us back to the present day. It concludes with a haunting Shaker text: “Do all your work as though you had a thousand years to live/And as you would if you knew you must die tomorrow.” The second part of the program consisted of the American folk tunes in choral arrangements that have become a signature of the Westminster Choir, including the nostalgic “Shenandoah.” I have never been to concert by this choir at the festival that hasn’t received a standing ovation at the end, and this one was no exception. In exchange, we were rewarded with two encores, one of them an apt and exquisite setting of the standard, “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The choir repeats the program on Saturday, June 3 rd . Playwright Samuel Beckett’s absurdist masterpiece Waiting for Godot has attracted legendary performers, from familiar movie character actors Tom Ewell and Burt Lahr in the first U.S. production, to comic icons Steve Martin and the late Robin Williams, and more recently distinguished knighted thespians Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. No doubt the attraction for performers is the challenge of keeping an audience engaged over two and a half hours of theater where the meaning can be elusive, though the rewards are plentiful. By turns bawdy and poetic, and frequently hilarious, in one sense the play isn’t all that mystifying when taken at face value as a rumination on existence. The cast of this production from Ireland’s Druid Theater is more than up to the challenge. In their tattered costumes, and with their distinct physical types, they have some of the pathos of silent film comedians, but with their broad physical humor, exaggerated stances, heightened gestures and manic expressions, they seem like Warner Brothers cartoon characters come to life. The team of director Garry Hynes and designer Francis O’Connnor, who worked such magic with the Festival production of the Vivaldi opera Farnace, deliver another visually rich experience with this play. To borrow a recurring bit of dialogue between Vladimir and Estragon: “Is this a good thing?” “It will pass the time.” To which I would add, “It will pass it very well.” Waiting for Godot has numerous performances through the end of the festival at the Dock Street Theatre. Check the schedule at spoletousa.org for show dates and times.
