  • Daughter of Eve, Femme Fatale, and Persecuted Artist: the Mythic Transgressive Woman in Oscar Wilde’S and Richard Strauss’ Salome
    MONOGRAFÍA Amaltea. Revista de Mitocrítica ISSN-e: 1989-1709 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/AMAL.51851 Daughter of Eve, Femme Fatale, and Persecuted Artist: The Mythic Transgressive Woman in Oscar Wilde’s and Richard Strauss’ Salome Corinne E. Blackmer1 Recibido: 1 de febrero de 2016 / Aceptado: 3 de julio de 2016 Abstract. Historically, Salome was a mundane figure who never catalyzed John the Baptist's death. However, in Christian Scripture, she becomes the seductress and fallen daughter of Eve. Her stepfather Herod promises Salome his kingdom if she dances for him, but she follows her mother’s wish to have John beheaded. In Strauss’s opera, after Wilde's Symbolist-Decadent play, Salome becomes independent of Herodias’ will, and the mythic avatar of the femme fatale and persecuted artist who Herod has killed after she kisses John's severed head. Her signature key of C# major, resolving to the C major sung by Herod and Jokanaan at her death, represents her tragic fate musically. Keywords: Salome; Herod; John the Baptist; femme fatale; Oscar Wilde; Richard Strauss; Symbolism; Decadence. Fille d’Éve, Femme Fatale, et l’Ártiste Persécutée: La Femme Transgressive Mythique dans la Salome d’Oscar Wilde et de Richard Strauss Résumé. Selon l’histoire, Salomé était une personnalité banale qui n’a jamais précipité la mort de Jean le Baptiste. En revanche, dans les textes chrétiens, elle devient la séductrice et la fille déchue d’Ève. Son beau-père Hérode promet à Salomé son royaume si elle danse pour lui, mais elle suit le souhait de sa mère qui exige la décapitation de Jean.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.
