Join Alex and Dr. Annie Ditta as they giggle along with Mozart in Miloš Foreman's masterpiece Amadeus (1984)! The film follows Antonio Salieri, played wonderfully by F. Murray Abraham, as he recounts his adoration turned jealousy turned pity toward Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played brilliantly by Tom Hulce. The episode focuses on the role of creativity in creating such music that stands the test of time. The idea is that Amadeus is the full package when it comes to creative thinking, and while Salieri was creative, he is missing some aspects that were found within Mozart. And one of the best creative choices for this film: the laugh that Tom Hulce developed for Mozart! It truly is infectious...

On July 25, 1788, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed his Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, a fact we know because the composer kept intricate records. I can tell you that so far there have only been two other July 25 editions of Charlottesville Community Engagement and they were in 2023 and 2024. What were you doing on any of those three days? In this week's stories:* Charlottesville City Council will not take another vote on design review of The Mark (read the story)* Charlottesville speakers provide multiple perspectives on how to help those without a home (learn more)* City of Charlottesville develops brochure in advance of encampment “transition” (read the story)* Albemarle County Supervisors learn about human services needs in the community (story posting Monday!)* Albemarle Supervisors get update on transportation projects (learn more)A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!A house shout-out for Town Crier Productions at the end of 1096-AThe posting of the podcast marks the end of one week and the beginning of another. These days it takes me a lot longer to do the very simple task of restripping the WTJU version with fresh audio. Fridays are usually very intense production days and it is my true hope to eventually have someone to assist with putting it all together.All of this work is the result of one person with a vision for how to put it all together. When I look back in my archives, I see that this is what I wanted to do with the Charlottesville Podcasting Network back in 2005 but all of the tools were not in place yet to make it work.We're now six years into the experiment of Town Crier Productions which has allowed me to document a lot of events and decisions and details in this newsletter. This week we crossed the threshold of 5,000 subscribers in Substack, with about 820 of them paying into this newsletter. I'm going to write more notes to those paying because I need help thinking through some of the next steps of the business plan.An issue with being on Substack is that most people who find this newsletter through the algorithm don't have a connection to the area so they disappear fairly quickly. Aside from a few Facebook boosts, I've never done any targeted marketing to attract new people since the beginning when I emailed as many people as possible an update of what I was doing.So this shout-out concludes with me once again giving you the opportunity to sign-up through various social media platforms.* I post stories over at BlueSky but don't really do much else than that at this point. Here's the account for Information Charlottesville.* You can also subscribe to get Information Charlottesville postings via email Wordpress. This is where I confess I don't entirely know the link for this. Might be a pop-up?* Town Crier Productions has a Facebook page but I'm really not sure if it's worth keeping as the site doesn't really seem to like Substack material. Or Wordpress material. In six years of doing this, I've never had a post “go viral” and I think it's all throttled. I don't pay them any money anymore* And then there's Instagram which gets a couple of likes. I'd like to have better images but that is another skill set I don't have.Okay. I have procrastinated a lot by writing this.Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication.

Klassikliebhaber aus der ganzen Welt lockt das Opernfestival Aix-en-Provence nach Südfrankreich. Dieses Jahr werden gleich zwei Spätwerke von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart aufgeführt.
C'est un trésor d'une valeur exceptionnelle : sept pièces pour flûte et harpe, composées en 1778 par Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), ont été découvertes dans une réserve de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Une découverte d'autant plus remarquable que le compositeur autrichien affectionnait peu ces deux instruments.C'est en février que François-Pierre Goy, conservateur au sein de l'institution depuis 1995, tombe par hasard sur ces partitions lors d'une vérification de routine. Le musicologue est alors intrigué par plusieurs éléments qui lui rappellent Mozart. L'expertise lève ses doutes : ce cahier est authentifié comme étant de la main du maître, qui l'aurait rédigé à l'âge de 21 ans, alors qu'il est installé à Paris et enseigne la musique à la fille du duc de Guînes.Depuis la découverte, le monde entier s'intéresse à ce trésor retrouvé et les pièces ont été jouées et diffusées, le 22 juin, en première mondiale sur France Musique.Quel est l'itinéraire de ces partitions, vieilles de plus de deux siècles ? Pourquoi Mozart donnait-il des leçons et où en était-il de sa carrière au moment de l'écriture de ces pièces ? Peut-on espérer d'autres découvertes similaires dans le futur ?Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », le conservateur François-Pierre Goy raconte avec émotion sa trouvaille et Marie-Aude Roux, journaliste spécialiste de la musique classique au service Culture du Monde, analyse la portée musicale et historique de ces partitions, avant de retracer le parcours de Mozart.Un épisode d'Esther Michon. Réalisation et musiques : Amandine Robillard. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Claire Leys. Dans cet épisode : entretien avec François-Pierre Goy, conservateur à la BNF ; entretien avec Thierry Bodin, expert en autographes musicaux ; archive d'un reportage de TF1 du 26 novembre 2024. Extraits musicaux : interprétation du manuscrit inédit dont les droits sont réservés au département de la Musique de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, l'intégralité de la musique est disponible dans le replay de l'émission « Relax » sur France Musique du 22 juin 2026 ; Die Zauberflöte (« Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen ») de W.A. Mozart ; Lacrimosa (Requiem) de W.A. Mozart ; Violin Sonata in G Major, K.301 II.Allegro de W.A. Mozart, Piano Concerto No 23 in A Major, K488 II. Adagio et III.Allegro de W.A. Mozart ; Sonate pour piano No 11 en la majeur, K. 331 (K⁶ 300i), III. Rondo alla Turca de W.A. Mozart ; L'Orfeo, acte 1 de C.

On Friday, June 19th, the National Library of France announced the discovery of a 44-page notebook containing lessons and compositions written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The notebook, which belonged to one of the composer's pupils, yielded seven previously unknown works for flute and harp - a musical duo that is not well represented in classical music repertoires. Emi Ferguson, a flute player, composer, and host on WQXR discusses the significance of this discovery and what it may mean for musicians and the classical music world at large.

"Le Chat Botté" est un conte popularisé par Charles Perrault en 1695. Même s'il n'en est pas l'auteur original mais l'adaptateur puisque c'est un Italien Giovanni Francesco Straparola qui l'a imaginé un siècle et demi plus tôt dans son recueil Les Nuits Facétieuses allègrement pompé par mal d'autres fameux conteurs comme les frères Grimm. Cette histoire de chat rusé, elle a compté à la fois pour deux contemporains, Napoléon Bonaparte et Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Napoléon, car quand il était enfant mais déjà avec l'ambition de devenir un grand général, il mit un uniforme et enfila des bottes bien trop grandes pour lui. Comme il avait un l'air un peu ridicule avec ses jambes maigrelettes dans ses grandes chausses, une petite fille lui donna le surnom de Chat Botté. Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Max Riedel of Riedel Glassware to explore one of the most debated topics in wine education and wine tasting: does the shape of a wine glass really change the way wine tastes? From the science behind bowl size, rim diameter and aroma delivery to grape-specific wine glasses, decanters and the evolution of modern wine styles, Max shares insights from the Riedel family's glassmaking tradition dating back to 1756. Together, they discuss how different wine regions, wine grapes and winemaking approaches influence glass design, why varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay require different shapes, and how wine lovers can improve their wine appreciation through simple tasting experiments. The conversation also explores decanting wine, collecting fine wine, memorable bottles, and the changing landscape of global wine culture. Whether you're passionate about wine education, curious about the impact of glassware on sensory perception, or simply looking to learn about wine and deepen your understanding of wine, this wine podcast episode is packed with practical insights, expert advice and fascinating stories from one of the most influential names in the wine world. 03:06 – Demystifying wine glasses — why aesthetics and weight matter less than functionality and sensory performance. 05:07 – The science behind glass shape — bowl size, rim diameter and how they influence aroma and flavour perception. 08:53 – Developing glasses for different wine regions — how feedback from winemakers shapes future designs. 10:56 – Why the right glass matters — Max explains the famous Riedel tasting experience comparing wines in different Riedel Veloce glasses. 13:31 – Chardonnay vs Pinot Noir glasses — why one Burgundy glass is not enough for two very different wine grapes. 16:38 – Growing up in the Riedel family — glassmaking history, storytelling and a family business dating back to 1756. 19:13 – Inside Max's cellar — collecting wines, buying en primeur and the excitement of aging bottles over time. 20:42 – How many bottles are in Max Riedel's cellar? A glimpse into a serious wine collection. 21:30 – Family memories in wine — wedding wines, children's vintages and a remarkable bottle dating back to 1756. 23:13 – Decanters explained — sediment, aeration and why decanting is about more than just old wines. 24:59 – Choosing a favourite decanter — Max discusses the iconic Riedel Amadeo Decanter and its connection to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 27:00 – How to clean a decanter properly — simple maintenance tips for keeping crystal glassware spotless. 29:43 – Wine regions that inspire Max — from Austria and Alsace to the future of German Riesling. 32:23 – Why Pinot Noir is so challenging — regional differences, minerality and the need for highly specific glass shapes. 33:55 – Choosing a Riedel range — from machine-made collections to handmade lines such as Fatto A Mano and Manufaktur. 36:09 – Sunday Wine Fun Day — family adventures, social media fame and opening great wines in unusual places. 38:07 – The oldest wine Max has tasted — an extraordinary blind tasting of an 1865 Bordeaux. 39:15 – The largest bottle Max has opened — sharing wine from an 18-litre bottle and the challenges that come with it. 40:24 – The wine grape that continues to surprise him — why Grüner Veltliner deserves more attention from wine lovers. 42:05 – Upcoming RIEDEL experiences — Max shares details about future tastings and wine glass events across the UK.
rWotD Episode 3306: Idomeneo Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 23 May 2026, is Idomeneo.Idomeneo, re di Creta ossia Ilia e Idamante (Italian for Idomeneus, King of Crete, or, Ilia and Idamante; usually referred to simply as Idomeneo, K. 366) is an Italian-language opera seria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was adapted by Giambattista Varesco from a French text by Antoine Danchet, based on a 1705 play by Crébillion père, which had been set to music by André Campra as Idoménée in 1712. Mozart and Varesco were commissioned in 1780 by Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria for a court carnival. He probably chose the subject, though it may have been Mozart. The work premiered on 29 January 1781 at the Cuvilliés Theatre in Munich, Germany.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:59 UTC on Saturday, 23 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Idomeneo on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

(01:34) Poetin viert een versoberd feestje. Jaarlijks vindt op 9 mei in Moskou de militaire parade plaats waarbij de overwinning op de nazi's wordt gevierd. Maar dit jaar zullen er geen tanks, trucks, raketten en pantservoertuigen meerollen met de militairen. En dat terwijl de onvrede over de Russische oorlog in Oekraïne groeit en die oorlog niet bepaald lekker verloopt voor de Russen. Heeft zo'n uitgeklede optocht nog wel het beoogde resultaat? En waar komt het fenomeen van de militaire parade eigenlijk vandaan? We vragen het aan Mart de Kruif, Ruslandkenner en voormalig commandant Landstrijdkrachten. (11:38) Miloš Forman's Oscarwinnende biopic Amadeus, over de geniale componist Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is opnieuw te zien in de Nederlandse bioscopen. Een wervelende, extravagante film met daarin een Mozart die even briljant als kinderlijk is, en daarbij de starre, Apollinische huiscomponist Antonio Salieri tegenover zich moet dulden. In het 18e eeuwse Wenen ontvouwt zich een tweestrijd die draait om geestesdrift, jaloezie en de vraag wat het met een mens doet om in de omloop van een uitzonderlijk talent terecht te komen. Te gast is Claudia Rumondor, componist en musicoloog. Rumondor studeerde af op de film en heeft hem net weer in 4K bewonderd. (24:34) Honderd jaar geleden bood de arts Magnus Hirschfeld in het Berlijnse Institut für Sexualwissenschaft revolutionaire hulp aan transgender personen. Dit eerste seksuologisch onderzoekscentrum ter wereld werd een toevluchtsoord voor wat toen bekendstond onder de naam ‘travestie', en hielp de eerste mensen aan geslacht veranderende operaties. Alex Bakker is historicus en zelf transman, en schreef in zijn nieuwe boek Transgender pioniers over dit revolutionaire instituut en de eerste mensen die daar een transitie ondergingen. Hij is te gast om te vertellen hoe dit instituut ruimte kreeg in Berlijn, maar ook hoe het net zo snel weer kon verdwijnen. (37:50) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Sanne Frequin. Zij bespreekt twee boeken en een tentoonstelling: We moeten het over de klassieken hebben - Mary Beard (vert. Marga Blankestijn De limes als legende - Koen Ottenheym Gerard van Honthorst - In alles anders dan Rembrandt - Tentoonstelling (https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/nl/nu-te-zien/tentoonstellingen/gerard-van-honthorst-in-alles-anders-dan-rembrandt) in het Centraal Museum (51:38) Het waren historische excuses op 1 juli 2023, toen Koning Willem Alexander spijt betuigde voor het Nederlandse slavernijverleden. In veel opzichten was dit het resultaat van een steeds groter groeiend bewustzijn van het reusachtige onrecht van de transatlantische slavenhandel en het grote aandeel van Nederland daarin. Maar toch wringt er volgens sommige mensen nog genoeg aan dit verhaal. Leendert van der Valk is zo iemand. Hij is journalist en schreef het boek Vergeten plekken, vergeten mensen – Atlas van het Nederlandse slavernijverleden. Met dat boek wil hij laten zien hoeveel breder, langer en ook grootschaliger het Nederlandse slavernijverleden was dan we over het algemeen denken. (01:04:09) OVT Doc: Chanel Nº 5: spiegel van de tijd Geen parfum is zo beroemd als Chanel Nº 5. Sinds het ontstaan 105 jaar geleden doen er veel verhalen de ronde over het parfum. Dat Marilyn Monroe 's nachts een paar druppels droeg bij wijze van onzichtbare nachtjapon, dat er wereldwijd iedere 30 seconden een fles wordt verkocht, dat Coco Chanel de geur liet maken om het verdriet over haar verongelukte minnaar te verwerken. Samen met vier kenners probeert documentairemaker Laura Stek de ontstaansgeschiedenis te achterhalen en feit van fictie te scheiden. Zo stuit ze op verhalen over de positie van de vrouw aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw, over modernisering in de parfumindustrie, maar ook op de zwarte bladzijden van Chanels biografie. Met kunsthistoricus en geurwetenschapper Caro Verbeek, geurontwerper Frank Bloem, 'Perfume Professor' Jessica Murphy en boekontwerper en Chanel Nº 5-drager Irma Boom. Een documentaire van Laura Stek.

Catholique d'adoption et Franc-maçon de cœur, opposé aux valeurs aristocratiques de son temps, Mozart apparaît comme un homme des Lumières attaché à l'idée d'un Dieu d'amour.Franck Ferrand nous offre un portrait fascinant de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ce génie musical aux multiples facettes. Loin de l'image du prodige précoce, nous découvrons un homme profondément sensible, parfois rebelle, mais toujours empreint d'une créativité et d'un esprit vifs.
