    The Italian Renaissance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    In all of human history there has never been an era as richly endowed with human creativity as the Italian Renaissance. When the economic boom of the Late Middle Ages had allowed a flourishing and wealthy merchant class to emerge, a plethora of artists, sculptors, architects, and thinkers followed in their wake. In an astonishingly short period of time, Italy was transformed mentally, physically, and spiritually. Powerful commercial centers like Florence, Venice, and Milan became independent. Artists like Michaelangelo and Cellini threw off the customs of the past and forged new symbols of Man, while others, like the gentle aristocrat Baldassare Castiglione, were attempting to civilize the behavior of society with gentlemanly manners. From north to south, Italian cities were literally reborn with an energy and enthusiasm that has never repeated itself anywhere. This great historical essay tells you why this extraordinary event occurred and why it finally died out, though its effects lasted hundreds of years. Ironically, all the great pomp and splendor of the Italian Renaissance was accompanied by some of the worst violence and mayhem that Italy has ever experienced. In the midst of splendor unheard of, men murdered, stole, raped, lied, and cuckolded friend and foe. Horrible torture, brutal war, and poisonous political intrigue went hand in hand with the most sumptuous artistic and literary output in European history. Follow this incredible story to understand the Italian Renaissance in ways you never conceived. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.

    A step-by-step roadmap to success for the millions of aides, staffers, and interns in politics throughout the country. In presenting the ideal skills, abilities, and qualities of a successful politico, The Capitol Hill Playbook speaks to today’s generation of staffers like no other book before it. Weaving together Renaissance-era political philosophies and contemporary illustrations, Nicholas Balthazar enlists the help of Niccolò Machiavelli, author of the venerable political treatise The Prince, and Baldassare Castiglione, author of The Book of the Courtier - the authoritative account of Renaissance court life - to demonstrate two models of political life and their applicability today. Balthazar offers listeners a path between these two methods, exploring the mechanics of working for elected officials but also discussing the philosophies behind contemporary political work. The Capitol Hill Playbook answers all the questions a newly hired staffer might want to ask:Why do politicians run for office?Why is devotion so important in politics?Why must a staffer be a good communicator?Why are friendships such an essential and elusive part of political life?How do you win a political knife fight?Why should a political staffer never wear a bow tie to the office?And more! A provocative and informative listen, The Capitol Hill Playbook will be indispensible to any political aspirant and, with an intriguing look back to the Renaissance, reveals how politics today has both changed and remained the same through the centuries. ungekürzt.

    Venice's Fragrance
    Auf ihrem neuen Album präsentieren Nuria Rial und Artemandoline unter der Leitung von Juan Carlos Muñoz "musikalische Köstlichkeiten" (Toccata) diesmal von Venedig des 18. Jahrhunderts. Alle Arien auf dem Album sind Weltersteinspielungen. In Venedig des 18. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich das Spiel auf der Mandoline zu höchster Perfektion und erklang als fester Bestandteil eines barocken Ensembles in Opern, Oratorien und Kantaten. Zwischen 1690 und 1799 sind etwa 200 Arien mit Mandoline entstanden. "Venice's Fragrance" erweckt diese wertvollen Arien für Sopran, Mandolinen und Streichinstrumente zu neuem Leben. Ausgewählt wurden Arien aus Opern und Oratorien von in Venedig wirkenden Komponisten, Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785), Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (1681-1732), Gennaro Manna (1715-1779), Tommaso Traetta (1727-1779) und Antonio Lotti (1667-1740). Hinzu kommen auch zwei Mandolinenkonzerte von Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) sowie eine Sonata für Mandoline und Violine von Carlo Arrigoni (1697-1744). Die Einspielungen bezaubern mit ihrem Einfallsreichtum, Raffinement und vor allem mit ihren einnehmenden Melodien - "welche uns hier von einer brillanten Sängerin und einem inspiriert und mitreißend agierenden Orchester vorgestellt werden."(Toccata)
