Discover the music of Igor Stravinsky, one of the 20th century’s most important creative figures, in a series of five podcasts from his publisher Boosey & Hawkes. Jonathan Cross reassesses Stravinsky’s achievement, 50 years after the composer’s death, with a selection of musical examples illustrating the rich variety of his works. Stravinsky’s deep fascination with time and rhythm is explained and the podcasts explore his interests ranging across art, literature, myth, faith, dance and jazz. We join the composer’s journey, from 19th century Russian romanticism, through a sequence of pioneering ballets and a new look at classical traditions in the 1920s and 30s, to a radical post-war reinvention in the USA. Stravinsky’s legacy is reassessed and his complex connections with other classical composers is charted throughout his lifetime and beyond.

The Bible read to classical music daily.

The concept is simple. The Bible is read over suitable classical music by the Greats and never heard before music composed and performed by John Richmond. All of John's music can be found on all major streaming platforms. Search for "J Richmond." All links to the albums can be found at www.ClassicallySpeaking.co.uk

Season 1 has the Bible read over classical music by famous composers eg Beethoven and Rachmaninov. Season two focuses on the New Testament with a passage being read every day for a year.

You could read the passage for yourself first. Then listen to it being read by John allowing the Bible passage to come alive in your mind.

The idea is to reflect on the Bible passage, improving your mood as you use the music and readings to meditate and clear your mind from everyday noise. Take deep breaths, focus on your senses and listen to your body.

Christian meditation encourages you to also look towards God, as well as into yourself. The world is getting busier and there are so many things demanding our attention. Now is the time to take “you time” and focus on what is important.

There are no sermons or commentaries. No-one gives their opinions or preaches. It is simply the Bible being read. You connect with the passages anyway you want to. Get to know the Bible in a year in a new and exciting way.

A new episode is published every day at 9am.

You can become a Yahway member and gain access to all the passages with timings, early releases, bonus videos and you can request your favourite Bible passage to be read. You can also ask John to record a personal message for you, for example wishing a loved one a Happy birthday or happy anniversary.

John studied his Masters of Theology at Glasgow University and is also a Religious Education teacher in a secondary school in Scotland. He has also written a commentary on the Bible that can be ordered from Amazon called “What’s the Good News for today?”

Whether you have faith, no faith or if you are developing your faith, these podcasts are for you.

Become a Yahway member and enjoy lots of benefits including listening to bonus tracks, downloading the readings with timings, requesting a Bible passage to be read by John and even ask John to record a personal greeting for you or a loved one. There are three tiers to choose from. Sign up now at https://plus.acast.com/s/classically-speaking.
