The Unknowns
Classical music definitely has its stars, and Beethoven is arguably the biggest. But classical music has its lesser-knowns, too. In this program we'll listen to two composers who may not have achieved Beethoven's fame, but who have nonetheless earned a lasting place in the chamber music repertory. Sometimes writing for an instrument that doesn't have a big repertoire can earn a non-celebrity composer a permanent place on the recital stage. Such is the case with Tournier's Sonatine. A harpist married to another harpist, Tourier knew the instrument well and had a major hand in developing new techniques and expanding its repertoire. The Arensky Trio is one of this little-known Russian composer's most-performed works. The New Grove dictionary calls it one of his best, too, and notes the influence of Mendelssohn's own piano trio, as well as the work's elegiac third movement, written in homage to the cellist Davidov. Recorded live in the Tapestry Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is pleased to share this concert under a Creative Commons Music Sharing License.

Artist Diploma Edition
Boston , where the Gardner Museum is located, is a big college town. And so every April, we tip our hats to Boston's student population with a series of concerts by some of the top young musicians enrolled in New England Conservatory's Artist Diploma program, one of the most prestigious music training programs in the country. This week on the podcast we will listen to two Artist Diploma violinists who have performed here in recent years. First, we'll hear Bach's third partita for solo violin. Though neither as virtuosic nor as familiar as the second partita, the third has all the sprightly energy of a dance, with its menuets, gigues and bourées. Next is Schumann's Violin Sonata No. 1. The sonata was written relatively late in Schumann's compositional career, after the bulk of his chamber music works, and it is evident upon listening that, though it is his first work for this particular instrumentation, the music is written by a more experienced hand. Recorded live in the Tapestry Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is pleased to share this concert under a Creative Commons Music Sharing License.

New World, Old World
It’s odd, but true, that one of the best-known classical symphonies about America was actually written by a Czech composer. Antonin Dvorak’s “New World” symphony was written during a trip the composer took to the states in the 1890’s, and is just one of the pieces that established him as the most distinguished and well-known of Czech composers. During his time in America, Dvorak wrote other pieces as well, including the sonatina that comes first on today’s all-Dvorak program. Then, we’ll return to a Dvorak piece that’s a bit more Old World in style: his piano quartet in E-Flat Major. Written before his trip to America, this piece reflects Dvorak’s connection to European composers, particularly Brahms, who was a strong advocate for Dvorak in building his early career. The folksong-like melodies here are reminiscent not of America, but of Dvorak’s native Eastern Europe. Recorded live in the Tapestry Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston.

Murray Forman - Hip-Hop Culture, Politics, Identites
In its varied aspects, hip-hop embraces music, art, and dance. Emerging in the early 1970s from the African American and Latino communities of the Bronx, hip-hop culture has evolved into a creative force drawing an economically and culturally diverse international audience. Defying controversies and negative labels associated with hip-hop, artists and activists are increasingly collaborating to move hip-hop in the direction of greater political engagement and social responsibility. Today, hip-hop has the potential to serve as a positive agent for change at the community and national levels. Participating in the conversation are Murray Forman, assistant professor of Communication Studies at Northeastern University, and author of The 'Hood Comes First: Race, Space and Place in Rap and Hip-Hop and co-editor, with Mark Anthony Neal, of That's the Joint!: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader; Renee Graham, a freelance writer, who wrote extensively about hip-hop culture in her weekly Boston Globe column "Life in the Pop Lane," and now reports on pop culture for National Public Radio's Here and Now on WBUR; Phil Haddix, founder and facilitator of the Broken Fingers program at Fletcher Maynard Academy in Cambridge and coordinator of the Just-a-Start Career Connection program at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High, who uses hip-hop and adolescent literacies as a tool for youth development; Geoff Ward, assistant professor in the College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern, and a faculty member of the Institute for Race and Justice, who has, for many years studied the changing dynamics of hip-hop culture and the black community. The program's moderator is Athenaeum Trustee, Isaiah Jackson, music director of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston. Visit us at www.wgbh.org/forum to explore our entire collection lectures.
