    Krzysztof Penderecki: String Quartets, Trio and More

    The whole stylistic world of Krzysztof Penderecki in just over 70 minutes sounds almost unbelievable — but that’s the total performing time of his works for string quartet, string trio, and related chamber forces. From the wild, uncompromising String Quartet No. 1 to the masterly String Trio and the later, more overtly lyrical works, these pieces trace the composer’s strikingly diverse stylistic journey.

    Podcast #17: KURT WEILL - From Brecht to Broadway
    Jun 19 2026
    If you know that sharks have teeth, dear, that’s probably because Kurt Weill told you so in “Mack the Knife.” But there’s much more to Weill than The Threepenny Opera and Mahagonny: he was a remarkably versatile composer whose music moved between Weimar satire, modernism, and Broadway. Join Jens and Joe as they explore the wide-ranging world of this extraordinary, hard-to-pin-down composer.0:20   Introduction1:36   Diversity in Music3:16   “Mack the Knife” – The Threepenny Opera (1928)4:00   Much More Than Three Pennies4:48   Magic Night – Ballet Pantomime (1922)7:37   The Tsar Has His Photograph Taken (1928)9:16   Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (1930)11:40  The Silver Lake (1933)14:42   Paris – A Cow on the Road16:01   A Kingdom for a Cow (1935)20:51   The Eternal Road (Propheten) (1935)22:48   US War Propaganda (1943)26:11   The Firebrand of Florence (1945)27:55   Love Life (1948)29:26   ConclusionC67011  Magic NightBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C67011!PodcastC60007  The Tsar Has His Photograph TakenBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C60007!PodcastC10160–61  Rise and Fall of the City of MahagonnyBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C10160-61!PodcastC60011  The Silver LakeBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C60011!PodcastC60013  A Kingdom for a Cow (CD)BUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C60013!PodcastPE803  A Kingdom for a Cow (DVD)C5500  ProphetenBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C5500!PodcastC10347  Historical RecordingsC60091  The Firebrand of FlorenceBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C60091!PodcastC5550  Love LifeBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C5550!PodcastLotte LenyaRodney Gilfry — https://www.instagram.com/rodgilfry/Sir Andrew DavisJan Latham-KönigDennis Russell Davies — https://www.instagram.com/dennis_russell_davies/BBC Singers — https://www.instagram.com/bbc_singers/BBC Symphony Orchestra — https://www.instagram.com/bbcsymphonyorchestra/Kölner Rundfunkorchester — https://www.instagram.com/koelner.kammerorchester/ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra — https://www.instagram.com/rso.wien/Chorus and Orchestra of the Wiener Volksoper — https://www.instagram.com/volksoper/Chorus and Orchestra of Opera North — https://www.instagram.com/operanorth/Franz Werfel - Max Reinhardt - Georg Kaiser - Arnold SchönbergWith:Jens F.
