  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXVII, Number 2 Summer 2012 FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK SUMMER 2012 I would like to thank all the members of the Society who have paid their membership dues for 2012, and especially those who paid to be members of the Georg-Friedrich-Händel Gesellschaft and/or friends of The Handel Institute before the beginning of June, as requested by the Secretary/Treasurer. For those of you who have not yet renewed your memberships, may I urge you to do so. Each year the end of spring brings with it the Handel Festivals in Halle and Göttingen, the latter now regularly scheduled around the moveable date of Pentecost, which is a three-day holiday in Germany. Elsewhere in this issue of the Newsletter you will find my necessarily selective Report from Halle. While there I heard excellent reports on the staging of Amadigi at Göttingen. Perhaps other members of the AHS would be willing to provide reports on the performances at Göttingen, and also those at Halle that I was unable to attend. If so, I am sure that the Newsletter Angelica Kauffmann, British, born in Switzerland, 1741-1807 Portrait of Sarah Editor would be happy to receive them.

  • 2 Viardot Sings Handel (With Thanks to George Sand, Chopin, Meyerbeer, Gounod, and Julius Rietz) Ellen T
    C:/ITOOLS/WMS/CUP/410243/WORKINGFOLDER/MRV/9780521889988C02.3D 9 [9–29] 29.6.2009 12:46PM 2 Viardot sings Handel (with thanks to George Sand, Chopin, Meyerbeer, Gounod, and Julius Rietz) ellen t. harris No one has surpassed Handel – no one ever will surpass him. … Handel is superior, even in the opera, to all composers past or present. George Sand, Consuelo (1842) Opera in the Ottocento was not always nineteenth-century in origin nor were its fashions wholly romantic in nature. The revival of Gluck’s operas by Berlioz paralleled Mendelssohn’s recovery of Bach’s vocal music, and one finds, in addition to many operas based on romantic epics and dramas, a small but significant return in newly written operas to topics based on classical history and mythology. Arias and scenas by Lully, Marcello, Handel, and Pergolesi were performed and studied, and these had an important impact on both instrumental music and opera. Among the composers of nineteenth-century opera most affected by these classicizing trends, Berlioz, Meyerbeer, and Gounod stand out in particular. But prob- ably no one was more significant to the legacy of eighteenth-century opera in the Ottocento than the singer Pauline Garcia Viardot (1821–1910). Viardot’s veneration of the music of the eighteenth century is well documented. Her depiction of Orpheus in Gluck’s opera Orphée, which role Berlioz adapted especially for Viardot, became, perhaps, her signature operatic role; this was followed by the title role of Gluck’s Alceste, also adapted by Berlioz. A devotee of Bach, she shared this deep interest at first with Chopin and Mendelssohn and, later, with her Berlin friend Julius Rietz, a conductor, composer, and editor of Mendelssohn’s complete works for Breitkopf & Härtel.

I had fallen in love with the music some time before, thanks to recordings by John Nelson and others: from the opening bars, the music captures the listener’s imagination and reflects the turbulent nature of the story about to unfold, and I had already been completely drawn in by the succession of beautiful moments Handel creates as Semele ascends to near-immortality Because the Handel Festival in Halle now stretches over and then becomes the victim of her own rashness and folly. three weekends, it is not always possible to schedule the Handel Encountering the manuscript sources firsthand, however, Conference and the various meetings that precede it to coincide opened up a whole new realm of appreciation and affection.
