In this episode of Talking Bach, Artistic Director Madeleine Easton’s guest is none other than Dr Norman Swan, the incredibly popular host of the ABC’s Health Report, Coronacast and presenter of many wonderful television series and documentaries. Dr Swan kept us all very well informed throughout the pandemic and was a voice of reason and comfort throughout. Norman discusses all things pandemics with Madeleine, delving into the world of how diseases have affected human life, colonisation, and musicians throughout the centuries, and continue to do so today.
My guest today is a name many who revere Bach will know, none other than Professor Peter Wollny. Professor Wollny is a German musicologist, a Bach scholar who has contributed to and served the Bach Archive Leipzig since 1993, and as its director from 2014. Wollny has contributed to the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, and has been an editor of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works. He has been professor at the University of Leipzig, and teaches internationally. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Uppsala and is considered one of the foremost experts of J.S Bach’s music worldwide.
My guest today is Dr Brendan New. Brendan New is a Clinical Psychologist who has worked in the field of child protection and mental health for over 15 years and has a deep commitment to working with vulnerable children and families. Brendan currently divides his time between his clinical practice in a public child mental health service in Western Sydney and varying teaching roles around NSW. He is a firm believer in the importance of reflective practice and the benefits of learning from others, and wherever possible incorporates these principles into his teaching. In this episode, Brendan helps us explore the question of Nature vs nurture from a medical point of view, exploring the ramifications of childhood trauma, which J.S Bach certainly suffered, and how that can manifest in genius or not.
