Episode Description

This week's topic concerns musicology and musicologists... what is it, who are they, and what exactly do they get paid to do? So who better to ask than one of them, Daniel Elphick, a musicologist and researcher who has recently started his own YouTube which sets out to demistify things for the layman. Daniel is currently working as a Teaching Fellow in Music at Royal Holloway, University of London (having also taught at Manchester, Goldsmiths, and Buckinghamshire New University), his research focusing on the history and analysis of Russian and East-European music since the 19th century, as well as music and politics more broadly. Dan’s first book, Music Behind the Iron Curtain was published by Cambridge University Press in 2019, and he is currently preparing a volume on socialist realism and music.

Presto! John Nowacki Presto! is a classical music podcast from New England Public Media’s John Nowacki, the host of Morning Classical on NEPM 885.FM. In this podcast, John goes in-depth with noted conductors, composers and musicians. Gershwin: Porgy and Bess e il Song-Book del 1932 Rete Toscana Classica Il compositore americano George Gershwin (1898-1937) ha sempre goduto di grande notorietà presso il pubblico, dagli anni in cui ancor giovanissimo produsse le prime canzoni presto entrate a far parte degli spettacoli di Broadway, e dal debutto dei suoi lavori in sala da concerto (Rhapsody in Blue esordì a New York, con Gershwin al pianoforte, nel febbraio del 1924). Tuttavia la fruizione della sua musica, soprattutto successivamente alla sua morte, è sempre avvenuta per fasce separate: classico o leggero, o jazz, opera o commedia musicale, canzoni. Gershwin praticò generi musicali tradizionalmente ritenuti divisi, persino in contrapposizione tra di loro. L’interpretazione e la programmazione della sua musica sono state pesantemente influenzate dalla spaccatura del giudizio critico all’origine del fraintendimento.Porgy and Bess, l’opera gershwiniana a soggetto afroamericano, andò in scena in prima esecuzione a New York, Alvin Theater, il 10 ottobre 1935. A quale genere Porgy and Bess Ascolto Guidato Giovanni Paganelli Ascolto Guidato è il tentativo di avvicinare alla cosiddetta "musica classica" chiunque abbia voglia di tendere l'orecchio, attivare la mente e solleticare il cuore.Vuole dare strumenti per l'ascolto puro, lasciando il più possibile da parte tecnicismi, cenni biografici, teoria della musica.Giovanni Paganelli è diplomato accademico di II livello in Organo presso il conservatorio Arrigo Boito di Parma e successivamente in Clavicembalo e Fortepiano presso la Musikhochschule di Freiburg im Breisgau (Germania), dove è dottorando con un progetto di ricerca su Domenico Scarlatti e la didattica del partimento nei conservatori Napoletani.Appassionato di divulgazione, partecipa e organizza da sempre spettacoli teatrali e concerti moderati in cui contribuisce come relatore e moderatore.
