    Appassionata: Rutshire Chronicles, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1774min
    Effervescent as champagne, Jilly Cooper's novel brings back old favourites like Rupert and Taggie Campbell-Black.Abigail Rosen, nicknamed Appassionata, was the sexiest, most flamboyant violinist in classical music, but she was also the loneliest and the most exploited girl in the world. When a dramatic suicide attempt destroyed her violin career, she set her sights on the male-dominated heights of the conductor's rostrum. Given the chance to take over the Rutminster Symphony Orchestra, Abby is ecstatic, not realising the RSO is composed of the wildest bunch of musicians ever to blow a horn or caress a fiddle. Abby finds it increasingly difficult to control her undisciplined rabble and pretend she is not madly attracted to the fatally glamorous horn player Viking O'Neill. And then Rannaldini, arch fiend and international maestro, rolls up with Machiavellian plans of his own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sherry Baines.

    Latin American Revolutionaries: The Life and Legacy of Hugo Chavez , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world. (Hugo Chávez, address to the United Nations, September 20, 2006) The above quote is quintessentially Chávez - controversial, shocking, and designed to cause a stir. He shared his words with the entire United Nations General Assembly at a time when the United States was embroiled in two failing war efforts and its banks were inching ever closer towards the economic crisis of 2008. Yet Chávez shared his beliefs fearlessly, confident enough with his presidency and his role on the world's stage to criticize the US president in a way that had never been done before at the UN. Understandably, Chávez is one of the most divisive and controversial political figures in Latin American history. He has been in power since 1999 and is South America's longest serving head of state. The leader of the movement towards 21st century socialism, Chávez has sought to bring socialist reform to Venezuela through what he calls the Bolivarian Revolution. His goal has been to shift power from the nation's traditional oligarchy to the neglected poor. Chávez's past is a complicated one, rife with military coups, troubled relationships, and political betrayal. During his presidency, he has written and implemented a new constitution, instituted democratic councils, and nationalized important industries. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Norman.

    Between Two Worlds
    In Bank's vocal writing it is as if a complete physical presence is struggling into existence through the sound of a voice. An entire body with all it's movements, gestures and functions is being emitted through the performer's mouth. Through the text and the creative response within him, Bank allows the music to make a direct and naked communication of the human condition. Jacques Bank often successfully forges a synthesis between text and music so that the whole is not only greater then the sum of it's parts but yields, moreover, something entirely new and unforgettable. Through his original and highly individual ways of combining text and music he achieves new insights and creates intensely expressive works of art. Furthermore, his fine tuning to the drama that surrounds us in everyday life gives his music an added resonance that can be deeply stirring for the sensitive listener and is often touching upon the roots of human existence in a very personal and very original way. Based on quotations from David Barton, Jurrien Sligter and Joep Straesser. Jacques Bank (born April 18 1943) studied composition with Ton de Leeuw and Jos Kunst at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. In 1974 he finished his studies with the Prize for Composition. After that he broke radically from his early serialistic tinted writing. Reorientation on tonality followed. From that moment on the starting-point of new compositions was the translation of an emotional stimulus, often generated by some extra-musical element, into music. The first result of this new approach was Last Post (1975). He wrote numerous works, varying from operas to solo pieces. Nearly always a text was the starting-point. Consequently, compositions in which the voice is used in one way or other are in the majority. Performances took place in Holland and abroad e.g. during the Gaudeamus Musicweeks, the Holland Festival and the World Music Days in Tel Aviv, Warsaw, Seoul and Zagreb. He participated regularly in radio programmes. Among them was a series dedicated to the life and works of Hector Berlioz. This led in 1993 to Episodes de la Vie d'un Artiste. It was commissioned by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for the celebration of it's 75th anniversary. The Utrecht Conservatory organized in 1996 a lecture and three concerts, dedicated to Bank's compositions, including Mesmerised and Late of the City of Rome. In 2000 De Bijlmer Opera, commissioned by the orchestra De Volharding, was performed twelve times with great success. Many years of cooperation with the Basho ensemble led in 2001 to a series of concerts with three compositions especially written for this ensemble: Gebroken Sprookjes (Broken Fairy Tales), Fred Walking Badger and Aaron Rivers are missing and John Clare. Also in 2001 the recorder concerto Recorders was performed for the first time by Helge Stiegler and the ensemble Mosaik in Austria and in 2002 Tonal Colours was premièred by Michael Quinn on the organ of Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. During a concert in Lissabon in 2003 the ensemble Ciudate performed four pieces by Bank. Among them Blind Boy Fuller, his first 'official' composition, dating from 1966. Commissioned by Dutch Radio, he wrote in 2004 the composition Uiteindelijke Dingen (Final Matters) for mixed choir and orchestra. In 2006 the Nederlands Zangtheater went on tour in several towns in The Netherlands with the 'choir opera' De ondergeschoven Koningin (The illegitimate Queen). Invitation to Eternity, the last composed, but first part of the John Clare Triptych was performed for the first time by the Canadian ensemble Continuum in Toronto in 2007. Eighteen years after the first performance the Requiem voor een Levende (Requiem for a living One) was performed again by a.o. The choir Consensus Vocalis and the Nederlands Accordeon Ensemble in 2007 and 2008. In 2009/2010 Bank finished his opera Major Taylor, the fastest Bicycle Rider in the World about Marshall 'Major' Taylor, the first black sports hero of America. In 2011 his composition Die Pfeiferstube for 2 flute-soloists, 8 wind instruments, piano and percussion was performed for the first time in the Bimhuis in Amsterdam by the David Kweksilber Big Band. This orchestra also commissioned the piece. In 2011/12 Bank was Composer in Residence at the Utrecht Conservatory. In November 2012 his composition Felix und Clara, written for mixed choir, string quartet and speaking voice, will be performed in New York by the choir CANTORI NEW YORK. At the 1985 Rostrum of Composers Minutes of Lives received an important commendation. In 1989 the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts awarded the Matthijs Vermeulen Prize (the most prestigious prize for composition in The Netherlands) for his Requiem voor een Levende. The mini-opera The Piano Teacher was awarded the Prize of the International Competition for Mini-opera for Children 1992 in Warsaw.

    Reinvere: Requiem / Various
    Reinvere's "Requiem" is written for solo flute, spoken-word English-language text (written by Reinvere), and four male voices. Archival film footage, found in the Estonian Film Archives, of the years 1911-1944, showing everyday Estonian life before the Soviet occupation provides an additional visual component to the "Requiem." This video is directed by Australian film director Catherine Jarvis and is released on DVD. The "Requiem" is performed by American flutist Helen Bledsoe, Catherine Jarvis (text reader and video director), the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, featuring it's members Aarne Talvik, Toomas Tohert, Rainer Vilu and Mikk Üleoja (conductor). Reinvere's "Requiem" is an intensely philosophical and powerful work in the Catholic tradition of requiems. In it's unusually intimate soundscape, with no mass scenes and very quiet dramatic action, Reinvere chooses to emphasize the individual psychological dimensions of grief and destruction with the use of dichotomic concepts such as life versus death, black versus white, freeze of anguish versus thaw of memory, Hegelian reason versus Augustinian faith. There is an interaction among the multilayered themes in Reinvere's "Requiem", where one layer comments on another and broadens it in an unexpected direction. From a technical standpoint, Reinvere's "Requiem" uniquely synthesises the past thirty years of flute music without stressing innovational issues too heavily. The unconventional instrumentation of Reinvere's "Requiem" offeres a fresh direction for flute music. But the end result of "Requiem" does not depend solely on the flute or the flutist. It is a synthesis of flute with text, spoken word, atmosphere, gesture, and visual images that creates the whole. Jüri Reinvere (b. 1971) is an Estonian-born multi-faceted composer, thinker, and poet, living in Berlin, Germany. Since 2005 he has used his own poetry (as spoken word) as an integrated part of his music. He has been writing in English since 2007. Reinvere's oeuvre consists of many styles. He has the ability to synthesize a variety genres of art and schools of thought into his work, which cannot be labeled doctrinarily as either postmodern nor Gesamtkunstwerk. In Reinvere's oeuvre, the state of the world is mirrored and centered. It passes through his way of thinking and effuses it's own light. In Reinvere's poetical thinking, one can follow many broad philosophical and eternal themes, such as the concept of time, the enigma of God, and the friction of the psychological depths of man. An essence of Central-Europe permeates his work. This is not only the result of the composer's many years spent in Poland and Germany. It also has to do with the tradition, both linguistically and thematically, of poets like Milosz or Brodsky, who have written in English, even though it is not their native language. Reinvere was an award-winner at the International Rostrum of Composers in 2000 for "Northwest Bow" (1998) and in 2006 for "Livonian Lament" (2003).
