LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Standard Time. Europe and North America are both on Standard Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In North America subtract five (5) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, six (6) hours for the Central Time Zone, and seven (7) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract eight (8) hours for the Pacific Time Zone, nine (9) hours for Alaska, and ten (10) hours for Hawaii. The UK, Ireland and Portugal are on GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add one (1) hour (some Eastern European countries are two(2) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Daylight Time (Australia is 11 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 13 hours ahead of GMT).

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

	1900 2.00PM	Muusikatuba: Lorraine Hunt Lieberson - Händel \| Philippe Jaroussky - Gelosia! Kuulame maailmakuulsa Prantsuse kontratenori, ingelliku häälega Philippe Jaroussky uut albumit "Gelosia!" ning legendaarse, Callasega võrreldava Ameerika metsosoprani Lorraine Hunt Liebersoni salvestust Händeli aariatest. Stuudios on Anne Aavik. Saade on eetris kolmapäeval, 5. novembril kell 11:05, kordussaade on pühapäeval kell 17:05. Kui 20. sajandil olid juhtivateks lauljateks primadonnad – traagiliste kangelannade rolle täitvad sopranid, siis sajandi lõpul hakkasid esile tõusma seconda donna osi täitvad metsosopranid - see hääleliik mängib tavaliselt kõrvalrolle ja sageli ka mehi. Näiteks Cecilia Bartoli täitis kontserdisaalid publikuga, kes vaimustunult kuulas Vivaldi, Glucki ja Salieri senitundmatut loomingut. Anne-Sofie von Otter on toonud Griegi, Stenhammari ja Sibeliuse laulud välja põhjamaisest pimedusest. Georg Friedrich Händeli loomingu taaselustamise üks olulisemaid nimesid on aga Ameerika metsosopran Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, keda tema sugestiivse hääle tõttu on võrreldud lausa Maria Callasega. 80ndatel ja 90ndatel sai ta kuulsaks seni vähetuntud Händeli oratooriumide salvestamisega. Tema 2004. aastal ilmunud albumit Valgustusajastu orkestri ja dirigent Harry Bicketiga on nimetatud üheks paremaks Händeli salvestuseks läbi aegade. 17. oktoobril andis G&H Music plaadi uuesti välja. Ajal, kui Hunt Liebersoni karjäär oli lõppemas, kerkis esile prantslane Philippe Jaroussky, kelle särav karjäär andis tõuke kontratenorite plahvatuslikule populaarsusele maailmas. Kuigi Hunt ja Jaroussky pole kunagi koostööd teinud, võiks neid esitusmaneeri ja repertuaarieelistuste põhjal pidada hingesugulasteks. Ka Jaroussky on olnud paljude teoste esmasalvestaja. Tema 24. oktoobril ilmunud albumil "Gelosia!" (Erato 2025) pöörab laulja tähelepanu barokkmuusika iseloomulikule žanrile - solokantaadile (cantata da camera) – mis 18. sajandil olid väga populaarne, väljendades intiimsemaid tundeid kui ooper. Koos barokkansambliga Artaserse esitab Jaroussky Georg Friedrich Händeli ja Antonio Vivaldi teoseid, aga ka senitundmatuid kantaate Nicola Porpora ja Baldassare Galuppi loomingust. (1 hr., )
