Celebrating Josquin des Prez: Podcast "Master of the Notes"
🔉 In Josquin's Footsteps across Europe
It was Martin Luther who famously called Josquin „the master of the notes“—hence the title of our podcast series on the composer. But was it just Luther’s good PR that made Josquin Europe’s most famous composer? In episode 2, Shirley Anthrop and Willem talk to some of today’s leading Josquin scholars to find out—including Jesse Rodin from Stanford University, who takes us inside the piece that once blew Martin Luther’s mind.

Jussi Juola & Gerold Huber
Nach Workshop-Teilnahmen und Auftritten im Rahmen der Young Singers-Konzerte bei vergangenen Schubert-Wochen ist Bassbariton Jussi Juola heute Abend erstmals mit einem abendfüllenden Programm zu hören. Gerold Huber ist sein Partner am Klavier.
Gemeinsam präsentieren sie u.a. Balladen von Franz Schubert und seinem Altersgenossen Carl Loewe, der sich mit seinen düsteren, mysteriösen Vertonungen den Titel „pommerscher Balladenkönig“ erkomponierte. Zwar sind sich Schubert und Loewe nie persönlich begegnet, doch teilen ihre Balladen durchaus den Zug ins „Dramatisch-Theatralische“, wie Kerstin Schüssler-Bach im Programmheft schreibt. Außerdem auf dem Programm stehen Goethe-Lieder von Carl Friedrich Zelter – der von Loewes Erlkönig übrigens genauso wenig hielt wie von Schuberts Vertonung.
❓Wir fragen nach: Goethes Erlkönig wurde von Schubert, Loewe und Zelter vertont – welche Fassung gefällt Ihnen am besten? Schreib es uns in die Kommentare.
💡Mehr über Jussi Juola und seine Verbindung zu Franz Schubert erfahren Sie hier: https://bit.ly/3KBdHkq
📖 Sie möchten tiefer in die Beziehung Schuberts zu Loewe und Zelter einsteigen? Lesen Sie gerne in unserem Online-Programmheft nach: https://bit.ly/3IBDV4B
