Random Mozart Podcasts

An exciting new podcast by Marc Eliot Stein of Literary Kicks. Why is opera relevant today? This sometimes-lost art form hides a fascinating, vibrant world. In our first episode, we discuss whether Verdi’s Otello is better than Shakespeare’s Othello, whether Othello had PTSD, and what it means that Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro is an Italian opera by a German Austrian and a Venetian Jew based on a French play that takes place in Spain. Welcome to the first episode of Lost Music: Exploring Literary Opera!

Quartet for Two is a light-hearted game about composers and an excuse to talk about music in a silly and opinionated way. Presented by composer Arthur Keegan and radio producer David Fay, the format allows playful discussion of classical music through the ages – littered with mistakes and half-baked opinions.

The game is inspired by QuartetTM the Composer Card Game © 2023 Margit van der Zwan. Buy this beautiful and brilliant game at www.quartetgames.com

​

Game play:

We use a deck of cards each featuring a composer from the 9th Century right up to the present. We draw a card each, discuss the composers and their music and then – using whatever metric we like – decide who goes through to the next round. There are also some silly wild cards thrown in to mess things up. The point isn’t who wins the game (it’s usually Bach) but just having a fun time thinking and chatting about great music.

These podcasts are designed to help listeners of all experiences to gain some understanding of “classical music” from the perspective of a conductor, teacher, performer, and artist – they are a synthesis of what I have gained from my life experience with this music and it is my hope that they will enable you to enjoy this music and be able to utilize the tools I provide for further listening in your life.
