The opening piece, Jay says is one of the most joyous, most exuberant pieces ever written. It is a movement of a symphony, actually—the finale. Jay closes this program with Victor Borge, the musician-comedian, or comedian-musician—but in a serious vein. There is much to soak in, in this relatively brief program. Maybe the kind to listen to twice.

It is characteristic of this podcast to contain a variety of music. But this episode is exceptionally diverse, with music by George Walker, Lili Boulanger, and Florence Price, to go with music by Mozart, Shostakovich, and Hindemith. Jay lays it out for you. Interesting and rewarding musical terrain. Walker, “Lyric for Strings” Shostakovich, Concerto No. 1 in C minor for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings, last movement Mozart, Serenade No. 10 in B flat for winds, “Gran Partita” Boulanger, Lili, “D’un vieux jardin,” from “Trois Morceaux” Price, “Ethiopia’s Shadow in America” Hindemith, “Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber,” March Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-49-sparks https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-49-sparks July 29, 2021 17:00 The New Criterion · Music for a While #49: Sparks Subscribe to The New Criterion’s podcast series via Apple or Google. “Care to romp around in some Romantic piano music?” asks Jay. “Virtuosic Romantic piano music? High-quality salon stuff? Well, that’s what we’re going to do.” Jay gives us a program of the talented, witty, dashing Moritz Moszkowski (1854–1925). The final piece is maybe Moszkowski’s best loved: “Étincelles,” or “Sparks.” Music of Moritz Moszkowski Étude de Virtuosité in F, Op. 72, No. 6 “Chanson bohème” “Caprice espagnole” Piano Concerto No. 2 in E, Op. 59 Étude de Virtuosité in A flat, Op. 72, No. 11 “Guitarre,” arr.

Jay has a piece by Bach, and one of his best. He has another piece once attributed to Bach. And he has a third piece that may or not be—by the master, that is. In any case, wonderful music, and a highly interesting program. Bach?-Stokowski, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 Stölzel (formerly attributed to Bach), “Bist du bei mir” Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 538 Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-the-right-angle https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-the-right-angle July 1, 2021 17:00 The New Criterion · James Panero on “The right angle” James Panero reads “The right angle,” his article in the June 2021 issue of The New Criterion.

When Jay says “just perfect,” in this episode, he is referring to Marilyn Horne’s singing of “At the River.” This is the piece that ends the podcast. It’s a little Independence Day nod. Elsewhere, Jay discusses and plays a Debussy song, two famous guitar pieces, and a piano piece by Frederic Rzewski, the American composer (also a political radical), recently deceased. A neat, varied, interesting, and enriching program. Debussy, “La mer est plus belle que les cathédrales” Villa-Lobos, Prelude No. 5 Rzewski, “Down by the Riverside” Barrios, “Julia Florida” Lowry, arr.

This episode begins with a poem, first published in The New Criterion, in 2002: Charles Tomlinson’s “If Bach had been a beekeeper.” It speaks of “the honey of C major.” We then duly hear some Bach in C major. We also hear a famous aria—an aria made famous by a movie. And “Estrellita,” in two different versions: the original song, plus what Heifetz did to it, or rather, for it. The podcast includes other appetizing items as well. A fine smorgasbord. Bach, Prelude and Fugue in C major, “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” Book 2 Catalani, “Ebben?

There is also a solo-violin piece by John Corigliano: “Stomp.” At the end, Jay pays tribute to Christa Ludwig, one of the greatest singers of all time, who has passed away at 93. In a life of interviewing, he has been starstruck very few times, he says. He was by Christa Ludwig. Sibelius, Piano Sonata in F, Op. 12 Led Zeppelin / Maxim Lando, “Stairway to Heaven” Glazunov, finale, Symphony No. 5, “Heroic” Corigliano, “Stomp” Mancini, Theme to “Peter Gunn” Brahms, “Wie Melodien zieht es mir” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-man-beast https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-man-beast April 27, 2021 14:25 The New Criterion · James Panero on “Man & beast”  James Panero reads “Man & beast,” his article in the May 2021 issue of The New Criterion.

An extraordinary thing. The episode begins with some Bach—the same piece, more or less, two different ways. Jay also has some music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, known by some as “the African Mahler.” There is a story, too, about French horn playing. Does your pulse race when you have a big solo? You bet it does. Much to savor here.

We don’t grow up surrounded by it, the way we do pop music and movies, whose conventions become second nature. Rather, poetry is to our usual ways of reading and writing as classical music is to pop, or as ballet is to dancing at parties.”   That’s from “On ‘getting’ poetry,” a feature essay in the April 2021 issue by our poetry editor, Adam Kirsch.

A delicious program. Puccini, “Bevo al tuo fresco sorriso,” from “La rondine” Fauré, “Reflets dans l’eau” Bolling, “Baroque and Blue,” from Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Prokofiev, Piano Sonata No. 7 Metheny, “Have You Heard” Weaver, Variation on “Sine Nomine” Malotte, “The Lord’s Prayer” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-41-well-tempered-and-catalan https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-41-well-tempered-and-catalan February 3, 2021 16:09 The New Criterion · Music for a While #41: Well-tempered and Catalan Subscribe to The New Criterion’s podcast series via Apple or Google.  What a strange title.

Jay plays balm-like music, and delight-giving music—heavy on the Bach. At the beginning of the show, he asks, “Need I say that music is extra-important in these strange and trying times?” He answers, “Of course I don’t.” Tracks played: Bach-Petri, “Sheep May Safely Graze” Bach, “Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen” Bach, “Alleluia” Chopin, Étude in A flat, Op. 25, No. 1, “Aeolian Harp” Haydn, Piano Concerto in D Elgar, Nimrod Variation Bach, Bourées from English Suite No. 2 in A minor Bach, Gigue from English Suite No. 2 in A minor Ochs, attr.

A friend of Jay’s asked him, “Could you put together a little program for my kids?” Here it is: Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Chopin, and worthy others. A neat, balanced smattering. For “kids” of all ages.

Also in this episode you have two arias by Handel; a piano piece by Ravel, miraculously played; some little-known Mozart, which is knockout; and yet more. Take a break away, as Jay says. Music played: Handel, “Bel piacere,” from Agrippina Galuppi, Andante from the Keyboard Sonata No. 5 in C major Handel, “Pensieri, voi mi tormentate,” from Agrippina Ravel, “Une barque sur l’océan,” from Miroirs Mozart, Chaconne from the ballet music to Idomeneo DuBois-Barry, “Movin’ on Up” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/jay-nordlinger-james-panero-on-music-criticism https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/jay-nordlinger-james-panero-on-music-criticism February 24, 2020 15:55 Jay Nordlinger, the music critic for The New Criterion, joins James Panero for a discussion of the classical music world and the life of a critic today.

It ends with an aria by Giacomo Puccini, sung by Mirella Freni, the legendary Italian soprano who died in recent days. In between is a smorgasbord, including Haydn, Mozart, and a couple of British songs that Jay and others love.

Jay talks about him, relating stories both from him and about him. (Jay interviewed Jansons twice, ten years apart.) And, of course, we hear music—from Jansons and his orchestras.

He moves on to a funky, frenetic thing called “Techno-Parade.” Later, there is some Wagner by a great new singer. There is some immortal Rachmaninoff. And, at the very end, a song by the late Jerry Herman: “It’s Today,” from Mame. A diverse, appetizing musical menu. Tracks played: Schubert, Winterreise, Schäfer and Schneider Schubert, Winterreise, Hotter and Raucheisen Schubert, Winterreise, Schreier and Eschenbach Connesson, “Techno-Parade” “The Lark in the Clear Air” (arr.

And Frank Bridge, that half remembered and estimable English composer. There is much beauty, and much of interest, in this episode. Tracks played: Bach, Toccata in F-sharp minor Bizet-Shchedrin, Carmen Suite Scriabin, Piano Concerto Scriabin, Etude in D-sharp minor, Op. 8, No. 12 Glass, Funeral Music of Amenhotep III from “Akhnaten” Bridge, “Love Went A-Riding” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-hankins-james-panero-discuss-leonardo-da-vinci https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-hankins-james-panero-discuss-leonardo-da-vinci December 6, 2019 17:16 James Hankins, a Professor of History at Harvard, joins James Panero to discuss the monumental Leonardo exhibition at the Louvre and the artist’s legacy five hundred years after his death.

In between, you’ve got some Saint-Saëns, some Sibelius, and some other music. Jay says some provocative—possibly offensive—things about a couple of cello concertos. Otherwise, it’s sweetness and light, mainly. A good show. Tracks played: James Macmillan, Miserere Saint-Saëns, Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor Bach, Sarabande in E flat Sibelius, Scherzo from Symphony No. 1 in E minor Marsalis, Gloria Patri from “The Abyssinian Mass” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-13-rustles-hisses-and-slogs https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-13-rustles-hisses-and-slogs November 15, 2019 10:23 Jay ends with “Rustle of Spring,” the piano piece by Christian Sinding. It used to be universally known. It deserved to be. Jay also plays Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Shostakovich, Amy Beach, Havergal Brian, and Jörg Widmann. He tells some stories, makes some points. A rich and diverse world, music. Tracks played: Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto No. 1 Brian, Double Fugue in E flat Widmann, “Con brio” Brahms, Violin Concerto Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5 (Bernstein, New York Philharmonic) Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5 (Maazel, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra) Beach, “Ah, Love, but a Day” Sinding, “Rustle of Spring” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-turners-watercolors https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/james-panero-on-turners-watercolors November 12, 2019 14:37 James Panero recounts a recent trip to Mystic, Connecticut, and offers his thoughts on “J.

Jay likes that opening Bach piece so much, he ends with it, too: in a different version.

Roger Kimball https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-pure-joy https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-pure-joy September 30, 2019 13:50 That’s what Jay calls a Bach piece arranged for organ by Jean Guillou: pure joy. There is some more pure joy in this episode too—including the final movement of Brahms’s Horn Trio, which Jay plays to honor Myron Bloom, the great French-horn player who died on September 26. He also honors, at the end, Christopher Rouse, the American composer, who died on September 21. Music, said Rouse, in a statement to be issued after his passing, “has given me life and a reason for living.” Jay also plays some Ella Fitzgerald, some Leontyne Price, and more. There is also a tale from opera lore: about Rudolf Bing and George Szell, who were too big for the same town. Tracks played: Bach-Guillou, Sinfonia Beethoven, “Pastoral” Symphony Brahms, Horn Trio Gershwin, “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” Chopin, “Winter Wind” Etude Barber, “Knoxville:  Summer of 1915” Rouse, Symphony No. 3 Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-who-cares https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-who-cares September 18, 2019 10:52 Jay does, and you will too. “Who Cares?” is a Gershwin song, which Gershwin arranged for piano (alone). Jay has André Watts play this. He later has Ella Fitzgerald sing the song, accompanied by another André, Previn. In between, he talks about Gabriel Fauré, and plays him. He talks about Arcadi Volodos, than whom there is no better pianist in the world, Jay says. We hear Volodos in Bach – Bach arranged by Samuil Feinberg, an earlier Russian pianist. We hear more Bach, played by Feinberg himself. And some Callas. And some Offenbach. A wonderful menu of music, with tasty comments to go with it. Tracks played: Gershwin, “Who Cares?,” arranged for piano by the composer Fauré, Violin and Piano Sonata No. 2, third movement Bach-Feinberg, Largo from Bach’s Trio Sonata No. 5, BWV 529, for organ Bach, Prelude and Fugue in C major, Book II, The Well-Tempered Clavier Cherubini, “Dei tuoi figli la madre,” from Medea Offenbach, “Galop infernal” (“Can-Can”), from Orpheus in the Underworld Gershwin, “Who Cares?,” performed by Ella Fitzgerald, André Previn, and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/roger-kimball-receives-the-2019-phillips-award https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/roger-kimball-receives-the-2019-phillips-award September 13, 2019 17:13 Roger Kimball, the editor and publisher of The New Criterion, accepts the  2019 Thomas L.

Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-america https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-america July 8, 2019 11:07 Jay says “Happy Independence Day” with a buffet of American music, starting with “The Banjo” and ending with “America the Beautiful.” In between, you will have many melodies, many voices, all adding up to America.

Some music from ballets. He also throws in some arias, some jazz, and more. An interesting, diverse, soul-pleasing episode. Tracks played: Massenet, “Elegy,” the Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan Massenet, “Elegy,” José van Dam et al. Massenet, “Elegy,” Art Tatum Massenet, “The Dream,” Tito Schipa Massenet, “Gavotte,” Victoria de los Angeles Desyatnikov, piano prelude, Lukas Geniusas Prokofiev, excerpt from “On the Dnieper,” Ukrainian State Symphony Orchestra, Theodore Kuchar Glazunov, “Hail” and “Grande bacchanale” from “The Seasons,” Minnesota Orchestra, Edo de Waart Glazunov, Symphony No. 5, “Heroic,” last movement, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, José Serebrier Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-soft-days-and-harder https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-soft-days-and-harder June 24, 2019 09:38 Jay discusses, and plays, an old song: “A Soft Day.” You also have a little music from Brazil. And a composer who escaped the Nazis. And some Cole Porter. Also, what about the question of Wagner? Can you listen to him, SOB that he was? Finally, Franco Zeffirelli died—which leads to a reflection on him, and to an aria. In short, there’s plenty to think about in this episode, and plenty to hear. Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-postcards https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-postcards June 17, 2019 11:12 From Norway, a story about Mrs. Grieg—and some music by Mr. From Israel, some thoughts about Bruch, Bloch, and others. This episode also includes a dollop of Rameau, a spiritual, a heavenly piece by Chopin, and more. Food for thought and soul. Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-hello https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/music-for-a-while-hello June 5, 2019 15:59 Jay Nordlinger begins a new podcast, a music ’cast. As he says, he’ll talk about music – make some points, tell some stories, tell some jokes – but mainly play music. Because why talk when you can listen? He begins this inaugural episode with the song from which he swipes his title (“Music for a While”). There is also some piano music by Prokofiev – music seldom heard. Jay remembers a couple of musicians who have died recently. And he closes with a song from “Kiss Me, Kate,” which is back on Broadway. “Music for a while,” goes Henry Purcell’s song, “shall all your cares beguile.” Jay Nordlinger https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/roger-kimball-receives-the-2019-bradley-prize https://newcriterion.com/blogs/media/roger-kimball-receives-the-2019-bradley-prize May 28, 2019 15:49 Roger Kimball, the editor and publisher of The New Criterion, is honored as one of three recipients of the 2019 Bradley Prizes at The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation’s awards ceremony and gala on April 4.

This is their story. Featured speakers include Mark Steyn, international bestselling author and commentator, Dr. William Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton, Dr. Craig Idso, Founder Former President and Current Chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, Dr. Patrick Moore, Co-Founder of Greenpeace and author of “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout—The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist,” Dr. Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics and Research Chair in Energy, Ecology and Prosperity at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, Dr. Richard Lindzen Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT, Bruce Everett, a Specialist on Global Energy and Petroleum Issues and Adjunct Associate Professor of International Business, Fletcher School at Tufts University and Roger Kimball, Editor and Publisher of The New Criterion.

The award is given to highlight egregious examples of dishonest reporting. Also awarded this year was the Rather, a new award for lifetime achievement in mendacious journalism. The Duranty Prize is named after Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow corresponded in the 1920s and 1930s who whitewashed Joseph Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukrainians (the Holodomor) and many other aspects of Soviet oppression. Duranty was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for his efforts. It has never been revoked. Audio copyright Ed Driscoll, www.eddriscoll.com.
