The Swedish Radio Choir Sings Brahms
Justin Doyle conducts the Swedish Radio Choir in Johannes Brahms's love songs Liebeslieder-Walzer for mixed choir and piano four hands.
It is not known whether Brahms's wrote the piece in frustration with his unrequited love for composer colleague Clara Schumann or not, but it can be seen as journey through the emotional turmoil of love. In this concert Brahms's work is combined with traditional songs and pieces from Antonín Dvořák's Slavonic Dances.
Recorded live in concert at Musikaliska Kvarteret, Stockholm 28/9/24. Recording courtesy of the European Broadcasting Union.

Brooke Shields' podcast episode criticising ‘precious' Meghan is quietly deleted
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON One week after its headline-grabbing release, the podcast in which Brooke Shields called out Meghan for being too 'precious' has been deleted. The actress, 60, was interviewed by India Hicks for an episode of her podcast recently, which appears to now no longer be available online. Hicks is the goddaughter of Meghan's father-in-law, King Charles. The original podcast link currently takes users to a 'page not found' message on the content creator's Substack. During the conversation, Shields had reflected on her experience sharing a panel with the Duchess of Sussex, hosted by Katie Couric and titled 'Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen', which took place during last year's SXSW festival. Meghan, Couric and Shields during the panel. Picture:'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women,' Shields told Hicks on her An Unexpected Journey podcast. 'She starts telling a story about how when she was 11 — and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women' And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair, so I wrote to the company.'' 'She kept saying she was 11!' Shields exclaimed. 'She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, 'They're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.'' It prompted Shields to jump in an effort to lighten the mood. 'I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious,' she recalled. 'I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute,' referencing her 1978 historical drama, Pretty Baby. 'The place went insane', Shields added, with the crowd becoming 'more relaxed'. Shields – seen here earlier this month – described Meghan as being too 'precious'. Picture: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images The episode has now been deleted.

She opened up about it at the 2019 International Women's Day panel at SXSW, explaining that the ad – originally featuring the slogan 'Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans' – had been a formative feminist experience. 'Truth be told, at 11 I don't think I even knew what sexism meant. I just knew that something struck me internally that was telling me it was wrong, and I knew that it was wrong,' she said at the time. 'And using that as my moral compass and moving through from the age of 11, at that age I was able to change this commercial. It really set up the trajectory for me to say, 'If there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to do something. And why not me?'' The company, Procter & Gamble changed the slogan to 'People all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.'
