    Galileo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1058min
    In 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a "hurried little masterpiece" in John Heilbron's words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope - the craters of the moon, the satellites of Jupiter - Galileo dramatically challenged our idea of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Indeed, the appearance of the little book is regarded as one of the great moments in the history of science. Planned to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the publication of the Starry Messenger, this is a major new biography of Galileo, a fresh and much more rounded view of the great scientist than found in earlier works. Unlike previous biographers, Heilbron shows us that Galileo was far more than a mathematician: he was deeply knowledgeable in the arts, an expert on the epic poet Ariosto, and a fine lutenist. More important, Heilbron notes that years of reading the poets and experimenting with literary forms were not mere sidebars - they enabled Galileo to write clearly and plausibly about the most implausible things. Indeed, Galileo changed the world not simply because he revolutionized astronomy, but because he conveyed his discoveries so clearly and crisply that they could not be avoided or denied. If ever a discoverer was perfectly prepared to make and exploit his discovery, it was the dexterous humanist Galileo aiming his first telescope at the sky. In Galileo, John Heilbron captures not only the great scientist, but also the creative, artistic younger man who would ultimately become the champion of Copernicus, the bête noire of the Jesuits, and the best-known of all martyrs to academic freedom. The title music in this audiobook is Ave Maris Stella by Claudio Monteverdi, which was published in the same year Galileo published Sidereus Nuncius (i.e. The Starry Messenger). Ave Maris Stella was performed using per ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victor Bevine. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/002762/bk_adbl_002762_sample.mp3.

    Kammermusik mit Flöte
    The frequently undervalued Georg Philip Telemann - a prolific composer who has still not been completely forgiven for having been in his lifetime more famous than Johann Sebastian Bach - is nonetheless the composer of works of great beauty, rich in musical value. Capable, as few others were, of depicting the aesthetic ideal of the time - Les goûts réunis - with elements of the Italian, French, English and even Polish styles, he also positioned the traverso in its rightful place, this provides the starting point for this recording the eminent Wilbert Hazelzet made in December 1997 alongside his old friends and colleagues: cellist Jaap ter Linden, harpsichordist Jacques Ogg and lutenist Konrad Junghänel.

    Diversi Autori
    The 'Intabolatura de Leuto de Diversi Autori' was published in 1536 by G. A. Casteliono. The 'Diversi Autori' consists of lute music composed for the 6-course lute by five of the greatest lutenist-composers of the 16th century. A selection of pieces from this anthology is recorded here on the classical guitar. Lute music in the Renaissance style was published throughout the 16th and early 17th centuries and consisted of pieces written for lutes of between 6 and 10 courses, or pairs of strings. Six course instruments were the norm until about the last quarter of the the 16th c. when lutenists began expanding the lute's range downward by adding bass courses. By the first decades of the 17th c. lutes of 10 courses were fairly common. Fortunately, while lute makers were busy updating the lute's physical structure to accomodate changing compositional styles, lutenists still wrote a fair amount of music using only the original 6 courses. Guitarists using standard 6-string instruments can play a lot of even the very late repertoire. The music content of the publication from which this program is drawn is, in fact, all playable on the standard 6-string guitar by just tuning the 3rd string down a half step. All music is performed from facsimiles of original published tablatures.
