Programme Information Programme information Saturday 31st July to Friday 6th August 2021 WEEK 31 JOHN HUMPHRYS Sunday 1st August, 4pm to 7pm John celebrates the month of August with two new releases from very different ends of the classical music spectrum. First, Krystian Zimmerman performs one of Beethoven’s most celebrated works, his Concerto No.5, ‘Emperor’. The award-winning Polish pianist has recently joined forces with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra to record all of the great composer’s piano concertos. Then John introduces us to music from Japanese classical guitarist Shin-ichi Fukuda and fellow composer Toru Takemitsu, featuring Takemitsu’s arrangement of a British classic; Yesterday, by the Beatles. Classic FM is available across the UK on 100-102 FM, DAB digital radio and TV, on Global Player on your smart speaker (“play Classic FM”), iOS or Android device and at ClassicFM.com. 1 WEEK 31 SATURDAY 31ST JULY 4pm to 7pm: MOIRA STUART’S HALL OF FAME CONCERT Moira celebrates Mozart, the most popular composer in the Classic FM Hall of Fame, by playing three of his 16 entries in the chart which show the range of his styles and talents. Daniel Barenboim plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21, popularly known as the ‘Elvira Madigan’ concerto, and Andrew Manze conducts the NDR Radiophilharmonie in a recent recording of Mozart’s Symphony No.40, which some historians suggest the composer never heard played. There’s also a moving performance of Ave Verum Corpus sung by Tenebrae. Elsewhere, there’s a fiery dance courtesy of Marquez and a live Royal Albert Hall recording of Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ sonata by Valentina Lisitsa. Aaron Copland Fanfare for the Common Man Antal Dorati conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No.21 in C major K.467 Daniel Barenboim directs the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra from the keyboard Edvard Grieg Peer Gynt Suite No.1 Sakari Oramo conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Debbie Wiseman The Glorious Garden – Sweet Pea Debbie Wiseman conducts the National Symphony Orchestra Arturo Marquez Conga del Fuego Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Ave Verum Corpus K.618 Nigel Short conducts Tenebrae and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe Johannes Brahms Symphony No.1 in C minor Opus 68 Riccardo Chailly conducts the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No.14 in C-sharp minor Opus 27 (‘Moonlight’) Piano: Valentina Lisitsa Continued… 2 SATURDAY 31ST JULY 4pm to 7pm: MOIRA STUART’S HALL OF FAME CONCERT Continued… Franz Lehar The Vilja Song (From The Merry Widow) Soprano: Renée Fleming Jeffrey Tate conducts the English Chamber Orchestra & London Voices Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No.40 in G minor K.550 Andrew Manze conducts the NDR Radio Philharmonie 7pm to 9pm: SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with ANDREW COLLINS Andrew features some of the most popular soundtracks to magical films. He starts with the enchanted world of Harry Potter, with witchcraft and wizardry brought to life by the music of John Williams. There’s also Joe Hisaishi’s score to Spirited Away; The Illusionist composed by Philip Glass; Doctor Strange composed by Michael Giacchino and Stardust by Ilan Eshekeri. Andrew also celebrates the films that go behind the curtain, including The Prestige scored by David Julyan and Now You See Me 2 composed by Brian Tyler. 9pm to 10pm: DAVID MELLOR’S MELODIES David begins a series of programmes celebrating the summer festival season. He starts with a selection of music that includes Joseph Callejah singing the nostalgic music of Mantovani, and highlights from the 2021 Vienna Summer Night Concert. 3 SUNDAY 1ST AUGUST 4pm to 7pm: JOHN HUMPHRYS John celebrates the month of August with two new releases from very different ends of the classical music spectrum. First, Krystian Zimmerman performs one of Beethoven’s most celebrated works. The award-winning Polish pianist has recently joined forces with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra to record all of the great composer’s piano concertos. John chooses the most well-loved, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.5, ‘Emperor’. Then, he introduces us to the Japanese classical guitarist Shin-ichi Fukuda. Fukada has released more than 60 albums, including one featuring the music of fellow composer Toru Takemitsu. From it, John features Takemitsu’s arrangement of a British classic; Yesterday, by the Beatles. 7pm to 9pm: SMOOTH CLASSICS AT SEVEN with CHARLOTTE HAWKINS Charlotte's Young Classical Star is the South Korean violinist Bomsori. As a soloist, Bomsori has appeared at numerous venues worldwide, including the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow and Philharmonic Hall in St. Petersburg. In June, she released her solo debut album on Deutsche Grammophon, Violin on Stage, which includes works written for or inspired by opera and ballet. 9pm to 10pm: ROBERT RINDER’S CLASSICAL PASSIONS (5 / 6) Broadcaster and criminal barrister Robert Rinder continues his series celebrating composers and musicians who, as well as being responsible for some of the most passionate and poignant music ever made, are also members of the LGBTQ+ community. Robert’s focus for the programme is joy and celebration and he begins with an award- winning film composer. Angela Morley helped to popularise light music in the UK and also became the first openly transgender composer to be nominated for an Academy Award. Robert features her score to the 1978 film, Watership Down. Then there’s music from one of history’s most famous composers. Handel not only wrote music for celebrations from coronations to riverside parties, but was a celebrity of his day, known for his big appetite and short temper. Little is known about his close relationships, but Handel never married, and socialised in circles where homosexuality was an open secret. As did Saint-Saëns, who held lavish and decadent parties, at which he would sometimes perform in drag. Robert includes a piece which perfectly captures the mood of such an occasion, the Baccanale from his opera Samson and Delilah. 4 MONDAY 2ND AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: CLASSICAL LEGENDS WEEK – PART 1 of 5 All this week, John pays tribute to the great classical legends from the 20th century; the soloists and conductors who made an impact and influenced musicians and fans alike across the globe. Celebrations commence with Brahms’s triumphant Academic Festival Overture, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by John Barbirolli. Barbirolli is credited with confirming the reputation of many of Europe’s greatest orchestras and was even nicknamed ‘Glorious John’ by Vaughan Williams. There’s an appearance from another of Britain’s greatest conductors, Neville Marriner, as he conducts the orchestra he founded in Schubert’s Symphony No.2, alongside a moving Beethoven Romance from Isaac Stern, whose 100-year anniversary was celebrated in 2020. Pablo Casals then plays his own popular transcription of the Catalan lullaby Song of the Birds. Johannes Brahms Academic Festival Overture Opus 80 John Barbirolli conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Johann Nepomuk Hummel Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major Trumpet: Maurice André Jean-Pierre Wallez conducts the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris Ludwig van Beethoven Romance No.1 in G major Opus 40 Violin: Isaac Stern Seiji Ozawa conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra Franz Schubert Symphony No.2 in B-flat major D.125 Neville Marriner conducts the Academy of St Martin in the Fields Traditional (Arr.Pablo Casals) Song of the Birds Pablo Casals directs the Prades Festival Orchestra from the cello Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Sonata No.18 in D major K.576 Piano: Alicia de Larrocha Richard Wagner Siegfried Idyll Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra 5 TUESDAY 3RD AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: CLASSICAL LEGENDS WEEK – PART 2 of 5 John begins his second night featuring recordings from 20th century musicians who achieved legendary status, with Dmitri Mitropoulos. Mitropoulos was famed for his remarkable memory, which allowed him to conduct without a score. There’s a performance by one of the greatest pianists of all time, Artur Rubinstein, who played in public for a phenomenal eight decades. John selects a recording of him as soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23, before Claudio Abbado conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in Beethoven’s unmistakable Symphony No.5. Elsewhere, Paul Tortelier plays peaceful Fauré, and conductor Adrian Boult takes to the stage. Ralph Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis Dmtri Mitropoulos conducts the New York Philharmonic Orchestra Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No.23 in A major K.488 Piano: Artur Rubinstein Alfred Wallenstein conducts the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No.5 in C minor Opus 67 Claudio Abbado conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Gabriel Fauré Élégie Opus 24 Cello: Paul Tortelier Michel Plasson conducts the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse Frédéric Chopin Ballade No.1 in G minor Opus 23 Piano: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Arnold Bax Tintagel Adrian Boult conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra 6 WEDNESDAY 4TH AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: CLASSICAL LEGENDS WEEK – PART 3 of 5 The celebration of great classical legends continues with a great English conductor as Sir Charles Groves, beloved for his support of young musicians, takes to the stage with a rousing

Highlights include Pachelbel’s Canon in D, the piece that Charlotte walked down the aisle to, a classical rendition of ‘My Love’ by Paul McCartney and music from Craig Armstrong’s score to Love Actually. Charlotte features Tianwa Yang as her Young Classical Star. The Chinese violinist began learning to play at the age of four, and quickly moved on to the competition circuit. Yang recorded her first album at the age of 13, featuring Paganini's 24 Caprices, making her the youngest musician ever to do so. She followed that with her European debut in 2001, and since then, she has gone on to perform at Berlin Philharmonic Hall, with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic.

From Rob Cowan: “Celebrating what would have been André Previn’s 90th on Cowan’s Classics brings back precious memories of a breakfast interview in Vienna back in 1997, talking to the great man about Ravel, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams, Mozart and film music. I remember his suave manner, caustic wit and obvious enthusiasm for the music he loved most. I’ve a terrific selection planned, ranging from Vaughan Williams evoking Westminster at night, to something sleek and sweet by Previn himself, Satie’s restful Gymnopedie No. 1 and Rachmaninov’s most famous piano concerto with Vladimir Ashkenazy as soloist. Here’s hoping that on Classic FM, I play all the right pieces in the right order...” Classic FM is available across the UK on 100-102 FM, DAB Digital radio anD TV, the Classic FM app, at ClassicFM.com and on the Global Player. 1 WEEK 15 SATURDAY 6TH APRIL 7am to 10am: ALAN TITCHMARSH Join Alan for his Great British Discovery and Gardening Tip after 8am, followed by a very special Classic FM Hall of Fame Hour at 9am.

  • L'evoluzione Della Relazione Uroborica Fra Videogioco E Musica: Il Singolare Caso Di Transculturalità Dell'industria Videoludica Giapponese
    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Economia e Gestione delle Arti e delle Attività culturali Dipartimento di Filosofia e Beni culturali Tesi di Laurea L'evoluzione della relazione uroborica fra videogioco e musica: il singolare caso di transculturalità dell'industria videoludica giapponese Relatore: Giovanni De Zorzi Correlatrice: Maria Roberta Novielli Laureando: Enrico Pittalis Numero di Matricola: 871795 Anno accademico 2018/2019 Sessione Straordinaria Ringrazio Valentina, la persona più preziosa, senza cui questo lavoro non sarebbe stato possibile. Ringrazio i miei relatori, i professori Giovanni De Zorzi e Maria Roberta Novielli, che mi hanno guidato lungo questo percorso con grande serietà. Ringrazio i miei amici per i tanti consigli, confronti e spunti di riflessione che mi hanno dato. Ringrazio il Dott. Tommaso Barbetta per avermi incoraggiato ed aiutato a trovare gli obiettivi e il Prof. Toshio Miyake per avermi suggerito dei materiali di approfondimento. Ringrazio il Prof. Marco Fedalto per avermi dato importantissimi consigli. Ringrazio i miei genitori per avermi sostenuto nelle mie scelte, anche le più stravaganti. Glossario: - Anime: termine con cui si fa riferimento alle serie televisive animate prodotte in Giappone, spesso adattamenti televisivi di romanzi brevi o manga, talvolta videogiochi. - Arcade: prestito linguistico dall’inglese, termine con cui ci si riferisce alle “Macchine da gioco”, costituita fisicamente da un videogioco posto all'interno di un cabinato di grandi dimensioni operabile a monete o gettoni, che normalmente viene posto in postazioni pubbliche come sale giochi, bar, talvolta cinema e centri commerciali. L’Etimologia è incerta, probabilmente derivante da “Arcata” facente riferimento storicamente a lunghi viali sotto i portici dei borghi, dove si trovavano le botteghe e luoghi dediti al divertimento.
