Podcast #25 : Aribert Reimann: Unlocking Modern Music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is modern classical music “ugly”? Why does contemporary classical music often feel challenging—and is it worth the effort to listen? In this episode, Jens and Joe dive into the world of modern classical music through Aribert Reimann, one of the most distinctive contemporary composers. Using his re-scoring of Mendelssohn’s Songs for String Quartet as a starting point, they explore how classical masterpieces are reimagined today, and what this means for listeners navigating “difficult” or avant-ga
Podcast #24: BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ: The Symphonies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Jens and Joe turn to Bohuslav Martinů , focusing on his six symphonies — works that sound “American” in spirit even though their composer was born in a Czech church tower. Written in the U.S. for the great American orchestras, these scores show how the former “lazy boy” from rural Bohemia came to write some of the most compelling symphonic music of mid‑20th‑century America.Chapters 0:22 Introduction 1:12 A Bird’s‑Eye View 3:05 Biographical Notes 6:31 An American Chapter: The Sym
Episode #23 : CARL PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH: Passion and Easter Music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve heard of Johann Sebastian, but it’s Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach — the second‑oldest Bach son — who offers some of the richest, most expressive sacred and Passion‑season music of the late 18th century. In this episode, Jens and Joe re‑center C.P.E. Bach himself, using his sacred works and Passions not as seasonal novelties but as a window into the Galant style and the emotional world of the composer who bridged Baroque and Classical.

Podcast #22 : ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK: Miraculous and Ecclesiastic Adventures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you hear “Engelbert Humperdinck”, you’ll usually think either of the King of Romance’s hit ballad Release Me (in which case you’ve got the wrong Humperdinck, as far as we are concerned) or of the King of Romantic Children’s Opera’s greatest hit, Hansel & Gretel . In their latest podcast, Jens and Joe try to re‑wire your brain so that the name will conjure mystical blue birds and nuns on the run — because romance, however you slice it, remains the name of the (musical) game.

Podcast #21 : FRANZ SCHREKER: an old-fashioned modernist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Jens & Joe tackle Franz Schreker, the missing link between Schoenberg and Zemlinsky — and a composer of wildly Freudian fairy‑tale operas that were all the rage between the wars. Deemed too modern in his time, and shocking in Vienna — but loved for both — Schreker was one of the most widely performed opera composers before World War II, alongside Richard Strauss and Walter Braunfels. Yet the curse of the Nazis and the subsequent shunting of much of the late‑Romantic repertoire s
