ui Opnieuw protesten tegen coronamaatregelen in Duitse steden By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 19:00:23 +0200 In meerdere Duitse steden is opnieuw gedemonstreerd tegen de coronamaatregelen van de Duitse regering. In Berlijn, maar bijvoorbeeld ook in Stuttgart, kwamen bij de zevende 'Wake voor de grondwet' weer duizenden demonstranten bij elkaar. In Stuttgart verzamelden duizenden mensen zich op de Cannstatter Wasen: een groot festivalterrein aan de rivier de Neckar. De initiatiefnemers hadden 50.000 mensen aangemeld voor de demonstratie, maar uiteindelijk waren er maximaal 10.000 toegestaan. Het ging er rustig aan toe in Stuttgart, maar in Berlijn zouden er demonstranten zijn gearresteerd. IT-ondernemer Michael Ballweg is de initiatiefnemer van de demonstratie in Stuttgart. Hij heeft de beweging Querdenken opgericht, omdat hij vindt dat de grondrechten te makkelijk en op te grote schaal zijn ingeperkt. De demonstranten wantrouwen de koers van hun regering. Ze vinden dat de maatregelen tegen het virus veel te ver gaan. Afgelopen woensdag werden er flinke versoepelingen aangekondigd. Merkel liet toen weten dat Duitsland voor een groot deel van het slot zal gaan. Zodra binnen een regio het aantal nieuwe besmettingen per week de grens van 50 per 100.000 inwoners overschrijdt, worden de versoepelingen echter per direct weer teruggedraaid. Full Article

With unique access to Dignitas, the Swiss non-profit that has helped over one thousand people die since 1998, Academy award- winning filmmaker John Zaritsky offers a revealing look at a couple facing the most difficult decision of their lives--and lets us see for ourselves as one Chicago native makes the trip to Switzerland for what will become the last day of his life.

The Quintette for winds was written in 1953, the same year that Castérède won the Prix de Rome, and touches of Gershwin appear among its witty colours. Neo-Classical restraint in the Sonate en forme de Suite contrasts with the grittier and more modernist Musique for flute, harp and string trio, and La Belle Époque takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Classical repertoire, parodying famous tunes by Haydn and Mozart.

ui MUIR, J.: Yosemite (The) (Unabridged) (NA0410) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT For two years Scots-born John Muir lived in a small cabin along the Yosemite creek, observing the valley’s natural beauty and reading Emerson under the stars. The experience forged a lifelong affinity with the site, which would result in its establishment as a national park in 1890. Originally written as a guidebook to the park, The Yosemite describes every aspect of wildlife and landscape that one might encounter there. In exuberant and reverent language, Muir presents its scaling peaks, winding rivers and thunderous creeks, and gives observations on nearly every plant, animal, and geological feature. With childlike awe he rides in avalanches, rushes to witness floods, and climbs rocks under waterfalls. The Yosemite is Muir’s ode to nature and the magnificence of the outdoors. Full Article

ui BURKE, E.: Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful (A) (Unabridged) (NA0413) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT In A Philosophical Enquiry… Edmund Burke sets out to define the nature of beauty and sublimity, and establish an objective criterion for discussing aesthetics. His definition of beauty as rooted in pleasure and sexuality, and the sublime in pain and survival, aligned him with the empiricists John Locke and David Hume, as he replaced the metaphysics of Plato’s aesthetics with a psychological and physiological perspective. According to Burke, the sublime and the beautiful are experiences that can be explained by biological and sensual factors; thus he proceeds to explain how smooth lines, sweet tastes and middle frequencies of sound can be considered beautiful, and the terror created by high mountains and dark forests can be sublime. These revolutionary ideas ushered in the age of Romanticism, and the Gothic genre of novels, with their delight in horror and fright, and continue to influence aesthetic theories today. Full Article
