One more time Das Wohltemperierte Klavier

During the last few months, the Concertzender has been featuring Johann Sebastian Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier. Geoffrey Madge

In three programmes in our series The piano studio Willem Brons and Annemiek Klijberg presented a detailed anaylsis of the first part of this major work. This was followed by Bach ad Infinitum that featured a new recording of both parts by Geoffrey Madge in their broadcasts in
May and June.

The Concertzender is to take one final look at Geoffrey Madge's version with an analysis of the use of tension and release in each part of the work. On Thursday 4 and 11 August from 19:00 to 22:00 CET we will be broadcasting a recording of both parts interspersed by extracts from the lectures given by Geoffrey Madge before the performances.

Broadcasts: Concertzender Live, Thursday 4 and 11 August, 19:00 - 22:00 CET

Panorama de Leeuw XXI: Schönberg EnsembleBarbara Sukowa

Thea Derks, the biographer of Reinbert de Leeuw, is tracing his musical career in her series Panorama de Leeuw.

The series has reached 1974, the year in which
the Schönberg Ensemble was formed by the students of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague to prepare for a performance of Pierrot Lunaire
by Arnold Schönberg. Schönberg had composed this revolutionary piece in 1912 for the actress Albertine Zehme. Schönberg introduced a new style of singing in this work called Sprechgesang,
a form somewhere between speech and singing,
in order to avoid the echoing delivery generally associated with classical opera singing.

Fassbinder

The Schönberg Ensemble was increasingly successful and performed the piece many times with different singers but Henk Guittart knew
the moment that he heard the German actress Barbara Sukowa singing in a film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder that she was the one that he wanted to perform Pierrot Lunaire.

Radiodelodio: radioLAB and radioKAST during the Utrecht Uitfeest and the Gaudeamus Muziekweek

The Concertzender is back in September with some more workshops. These workshops give children of 8 years and older the opportunity to make their
own radio programmes. On Sunday 4 September we will be at the Ganzen-
markt in Utrecht during the Utrecht Uitfeest and on 10 September the
radioLAB will be in TivoliVredenburg during the Gaudeamus Muziekweek.

What is involved in making a radio programme? The radioLAB workshops offer the opportunity to introduce and play music and to perform interviews. The workshop focusses on the interviews but also offers the opportunity to hear and discuss some unusual music. You can also choose to work as a recording engineer.
