(in)sight-reading enlightenment/early music podcast

Hello dear friends! Welcome to our brand new podcast dedicated to sight-reading. Why sight-reading? We want to show the behind-the-scenes of music-making. We begin each episode with our initial thoughts on a new score as well as musings about style, aesthetics, and instruments. We challenge ourselves to apply our understanding of historical practices to achieve a more musical reading of a given text. Whether you are amateur musicians looking for tips on sight-reading and insight into historical performance or a seasoned musician, we would be happy if you joined us.

    Giovanni Antonini: a visionary of our time

    In this episode, I approached Giovanni Antonini, the renowned conductor and founder of Il Giardino Armonico, right after their spectacular performance of Haydn symphonies in Basel.  https://www.ilgiardinoarmonico.com/giovanni-antonini/ I had the pleasure of exploring his extensive journey through Baroque and Classical music, from his innovative interpretations as a young musician, to his experiences as an ensemble founder, to his work with world-class orchestras. Giovanni shares insights into his artistic vision and the future of early music with a warm and elegant sense of humour. Contact me: insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com Yours, Darina

    Stage fright of Clara Schumann and 100 % "no" in job applications

    Hello dear friends! My guest today is an inspiring pianist with a truly humanistic approach to early music, Laura Granero. http://lauragranero.com Laura is the founder of the "Fanny Davies Ensemble", which is based on a collaborative and innovative approach. Laura is currently opening a brand new concert space in Basel that welcomes musicians with new concert formats. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/861602174297 In today's episode, we read two songs by Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn and discuss the historically informed 19th century perspective that has been replaced in our minds by an expectation of what classical music should sound like that excludes the sound philosophy of the time and is relevant or the Romantic time approach to music. We talked about inclusivity and awareness in relation to building a concert programme and dealing with the issue of classical music's 'greatest hits' and their problematic nature.
