Interpreters of Men Get It On , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min

That night was a lesson learned: There's the erotic's of a woman who feels so miserable and wrecked and anxious and sad she will get on her knees and let four people have at her with varying degrees of rupture and bliss, and then there's everything else. The Common, guest editor of Recommended Reading 2.4, publishes stories with a strong sense of place, yet the opening of Interpreters of Men Get It On sets the story to be the "Middle of Nowhere." In her editor's note, founding editor of The Common Jennifer Acker admires the way Fiona transforms the bleak landscape, "What guts Fiona has, dovetailing a linguistic translation breakthrough with the loss of innocence of a very different kind. Such exquisitely paired action can only happen here, in this nowhere rank with boredom." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gwen Hughes.

Soviet Russia's Space Program During the Space Race: The History and Legacy of the Competition That Pushed America to the Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min

Of all the goals the Bolshevik Revolution aimed to bring about, perhaps nowhere were Russian promises delivered on more than in the success of the Soviet Space program of the 1950s and 1960s. As a result of Russian innovation and technology, but also due to incredible drive to modernize and compete with the United States for world power, Russia was finally and triumphantly modernized in the eyes of her own people and the world. Neil deGrasse Tyson recognized the Soviet legacy in space in his Space Chronicles, citing the Soviets' "important measure[s] of space achievement: first spacewalk, longest spacewalk, first woman in space, first docking in space, first space station, longest time logged in space." In fact, the Soviet Union spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. Dovetailing off their success developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviets were the first to make enormous advances in actual space exploration, and on the night of October 4, 1957, the Soviets prepared to launch "Object D" atop one of its R-7 rockets. ungekürzt.

Franck & Mendelssohn : String Quartets

Mendelssohn and Franck wrote these quartets each in the last year of their lives, but under very different circumstances. Mendelssohn's Op.80 was written after hearing of the death of his beloved sister Fanny. The music of "classical poise and refined romantic feeling" with which he had become associated is swept aside as Mendelssohn pens one of the most impassioned and powerful statements of his output. The first movement, with it's dramatic sforzandos and fast-repeated notes, alternates between passionate frenzy and a sense of lamentation. The dramatic coda with a soaring virtuosic run in the first violin leaves the audience gasping for breath. The second movement is far removed from the light and airy Scherzo of Mendelssohn's famous Octet. Intense and sardonic, there is no let-up in mood. The trio section introduces a melancholy, waltz-like theme in the viola and cello which only seems to add to the sense of anguish. The elegiac Adagio allows a respite from the dark key of F minor, but despite the major key, the movement is a heart-breaking lament. The last movement, with it's rapid dovetailing of the instruments offers little in the way of solace or acceptance and ends with a wild dance played high up in the first violin. Mendelssohn subtitled the work 'Requiem for Fanny' but it would also serve as his own since he died two months later of a stroke. Franck, perhaps inspired by an infatuation with one of his former composition students, Augusta Holmes, was enjoying the most fruitful period of his career, composing a series of masterworks in a remarkable five year period. After the successful premiere of his string quartet in 1890, Franck declared "The public is at last beginning to understand me." A tour de force, showcasing Franck's uniquely rich harmonic language and innovative use of the cyclic form, the thick textures and liberal use of double-stopping almost create the impression of a chamber orchestra, rather than a single string quartet. The first movement contains a wealth of thematic complexity and melodic expression with a broad and impassioned opening Poco lento introducing the main cyclic theme. The agile second movement sees all four instruments in a state of flight, interrupted by abrupt silences. The strings are muted throughout, apart from a molto cantabile declaration of the cyclic theme on the cello. The movement seems to nod towards Mendelssohn, (Franck apparently had the scores of his quartets, alongside those by Brahms and Beethoven on his piano while composing this work). The unapologetically languorous third movement is full of wonderful colours and impassioned climaxes whilst the vigorous Finale revisits all the major themes, providing a contrapuntal feast that unites the work.
