Karim Said is a pianist, conductor and Jordan's new Performing Arts Institute Director of Music. He founded the Amman Chamber Orchestra in 2018. I met Karim few years ago where we had a discussion over one of my podcast series and he had something to tell me about the secularity of Bach's Music. This episode was a learning experience for me as Karim has a wealth of knowledge to share with listeners and people who are keen to learn about Music. He talks about Schoenberg, Enescu, Bach, John Dowland, Bernstein and much more... It was an array of Musical experiences this recording with Karim. https://karimsaid.com/page?2 [https://karimsaid.com/page?2] Karim's Latest CD will be released on the 31st of May 2024. https://rubiconclassics.com/ Recommended Listening Links and List https://open.spotify.com/track/3nKR1TVh3EXRXePUKv2V2v?si=bf1b57b11f4243f [https://open.spotify.com/track/3nKR1TVh3EXRXePUKv2V2v?si=bf1b57b11f4243ff]                https://open.spotify.com/track/7ot3EU1cxdDTk8TWCXpBJg?si=0accc66a29cb487f [https://open.spotify.com/track/7ot3EU1cxdDTk8TWCXpBJg?si=0accc66a29cb487f]  https://open.spotify.com/track/16AYgiFDGrEZtGBOAAtFwz? si=f8d3fc3d6d8e4c76 [https://open.spotify.com/track/16AYgiFDGrEZtGBOAAtFwz?si=f8d3fc3d6d8e4c76]  https://youtu.be/MB28oIlnQdQ?si=1GEJFhE85T1oIhgp [https://youtu.be/MB28oIlnQdQ?si=1GEJFhE85T1oIhgp] https://youtu.be/qvpBtMCdlEQ?si=yNXE5P9oLQWtVbDx [https://youtu.be/qvpBtMCdlEQ?si=yNXE5P9oLQWtVbDx] https://youtu.be/mBbPkU6qFH0?si=N5Uj3psTYfu0EI8h [https://youtu.be/mBbPkU6qFH0?si=N5Uj3psTYfu0EI8h] To listen to the complete list from Glenn Gould’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvpBtMCdlEQ&list=PL8WKooOccbd5yUoDuVXt8YeKRzkH_2vJL [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvpBtMCdlEQ&list=PL8WKooOccbd5yUoDuVXt8YeKRzkH_2vJL]  Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Francaise - Igor Markevitch   (1955) https://www.discogs.com/release/7665422-Igor-Stravinsky-Orchestre-National-de-la-Radiodiffusion-France-Igor-Markevitch-Pulcinella-Le-Baiser-/image/SW1hZ2U6MjA1MTcxOTU= [https://www.discogs.com/release/7665422-Igor-Stravinsky-Orchestre-National-de-la-Radiodiffusion-France-Igor-Markevitch-Pulcinella-Le-Baiser-/image/SW1hZ2U6MjA1MTcxOTU=] https://youtu.be/55syhGxxUyQ?si=WUcAjumZ67wg1-27 [https://youtu.be/55syhGxxUyQ?si=WUcAjumZ67wg1-27] https://youtu.be/Oe2fRnu64rU?si=hBZ7ujhKjPextkQJ [https://youtu.be/Oe2fRnu64rU?si=hBZ7ujhKjPextkQJ] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4EmIPY8yqY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4EmIPY8yqY])  https://open.spotify.com/album/1UOVzeYjNgEyEQzIRiRAIT? si=zUFU8rXMTcqQrVlilhFCyg [https://open.spotify.com/album/1UOVzeYjNgEyEQzIRiRAIT?si=zUFU8rXMTcqQrVlilhFCyg] https://youtu.be/5M6XwTJgCmk?si=8EYeD-z36LJzt25L [https://youtu.be/5M6XwTJgCmk?si=8EYeD-z36LJzt25L]  https://www.discogs.com/release/7665422-Igor-Stravinsky- Orchestre-National-de-la-Radiodiffusion-France-Igor-Markevitch-Pulcinella-Le-Baiser-/image/SW1hZ2U6MjA1MTcxOTU= [https://www.discogs.com/release/7665422-Igor-Stravinsky-Orchestre-National-de-la-Radiodiffusion-France-Igor-Markevitch-Pulcinella-Le-Baiser-/image/SW1hZ2U6MjA1MTcxOTU=]

This epsiode is a conversation with Ms. Sahar Aloul about her work in the community, in the field of women economic development, she also worked towards securing safe work places for women and their children. It is really a chat about pieces of Music we both love, about walking, Arabic Music, Poetry, about the political situation we live under and the political occupation we suffer from in the Arab world.

Music has been my Life's companion, in-fact I was told once that Music has probably saved my life.. This is an episode where I discuss the effects of Music on the mind and how our mental health is affected by it. I interview Ms. Tala Al Kurd who is an experienced Psychologist. We base our discussions and experienced knowledge on studies and recent research on this important topic.  I invite you to listen in (it's in Arabic and will be recorded in English Soon). Please share with me what you feel is the one or two pieces of Music that had a tremendous effect on your life!  Recommended Listening and References https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000jg5s [https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000jg5s] https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b08n1mr5 [https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b08n1mr5] Brandenburg Concerto No 1 for  Bach Second Movement Piece from 3.54 seconds, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWEHKTyaVc0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWEHKTyaVc0] CATS Musical “Memory” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gd_ohoPzYc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gd_ohoPzYc] Spanish Train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnaUvPoiTfQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnaUvPoiTfQ] The River By Garth Brooks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAgUQ7lMKOs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAgUQ7lMKOs] Theme from “The Mission” Marricone (Gabriel’s Oboe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7w-IeNR9ko [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7w-IeNR9ko] Mohamad Abdul Wahab.

In this episode I interview Archaeologist/History Teacher Kariman Mango and together we explore Cairo's roaring 1920's  -  The limelight is placed on two main singers; Naimah il Masriah and Mounira il Mahdiah. Kariman gives an elaborate historical and political account of the time focusing on the women's feminist movement. We attempt to discover if these women were true artists or simply entertainers. We also delve into whether we should romanticize Cairo's extravagant 1920's or do we place these women in the right context and express the difficult circumstances they lived through.
