Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C major is performed in the city of the composer’s birth by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the British conductor Daniel Harding. Completed in 1800, when Beethoven was 30 years old, the composition shows much innovation, despite its classical construction.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 1

Beethoven’s ninth symphony performed in Vienna, the city where Beethoven lived and worked, by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra conducted by the American Karina Canellakis. An exceptional work in many respects but above all for the introduction of the human voice in the last movement, allowing the setting of Schiller’s Ode to Joy to music. A manifesto for the brotherhood of man, the Ninth has become a strong symbol for European culture and universal values. Camilla Nylund, Patricia Nolz, Piotr Beczala and Ryan Speedo Green are soloists in the final movement.

How I Became German

In France, the bungalow evokes holidays in the sun. In the UK, they are humble everyday dwellings for grandparents. But in Germany or the United States, they take on a very different form: they are a bourgeois luxury, a single-storey villa with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking nature. Inspired by the "bangalo", a traditional one-storey Bengal house open to the outside, this style was also a staple of colonial architecture.

The pole vault is a discipline is based on the transformation of kinetic energy into elastic energy and then into gravitational energy. Athletes must play with energy, optimise it, transform it, and conserve it.

 French swimmer Florent Manaudou, German pentathlete Marvin Dogue and French sabre fencer Cécilia Berder all trained hard for the Tokyo Olympics, but the most important part of their training they say is in the mind. Mental conditioning is a growing science designed to get the best out of sports champions at a time when they could crumble under the pressure. At the beginning of World War Two, American airforce pilots struggled to face off against the Japanese fleet. Cue Bud Winter: in peace time, a sports coach, and in war, a mental conditioner who taught the pilots how to keep their head in the game even in life-or-death situations. Gradually, the idea that sportsmen and women were as much mind as they were muscle took hold. 

 For Olympic French swimmer Florent Manaudou, his greatest challenge is mental, not physical
