GERMAN & AUSTRIAN SYMPHONIES from the 19Th GERMAN & AUSTRIAN SYMPHONIES From The 19th Century To The Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Richard Strauss (1864-1949) Born in Munich, the son of Franz Strauss, the principal horn player at the Court Opera in Munich. He wrote his first compositions at age six and studied the piano. He then received private instruction in music theory and orchestration from a conductor at the Court Opera, Friedrich Wilhem Meyer as well as violin lesson from its concertmaster, Benno Walter. He studied music briefly in Berlin before being appointed assistant conductor to Hans von Bülow. The rest is history as he went on to become one of Germany's greatest composers as well as a world famous conductor. In his long life, he produced an enormous catalogue of operas, orchestral, chamber, piano, organ, choral and vocal works that have never lacked for performances.

  • STRAUSS Also Sprach Zarathustra. Ein Heldenleben • Vasily Petrenko
    STRAUSS Also sprach Zarathustra. Ein Heldenleben • Vasily Petrenko, cond; Oslo PO • LAWO 1166 (Streaming audio: 79:57) https://app.napster.com/artist/vasily-petrenko/album/richard-strauss-also- sprach-zarathustra-op-30-ein-helden Collectors of Richard Strauss’s tone poems can afford to be finicky, or even to turn their backs on upstart new recordings when we have Fritz Reiner, Rudolf Kempe, and Herbert von Karajan as enduring pillars of the Strauss discography—anytime I return to Reiner’s 1961 Don Juan with the Chicago Symphony, I feel that no greater recording is imaginable. But the call of these orchestral thrill rides never ceases, and in recent years desirable recordings have emerged from Christian Thielemann, Vladimir Jurowski, Manfred Honeck, and François-Xavier Roth. To them can now be added this superb new release from Vasily Petrenko and the Oslo Philharmonic. It’s something of a cheeky release, too, because the pairing of Also sprach Zarathustra and Ein Heldenleben mimics the very first recording, from 1954, that Reiner made in Chicago after assuming leadership of the CSO. The two Living Stereo LPs became a landmark in the postwar hi-fi era, achieving tremendous sales. Although Reiner’s remake of Zarathustra in 1962 is considered superior among collectors, no one would be without the 1954 version. You don’t have to feel guilty about betraying old allegiances, however, to appreciate the vibrancy and imagination that Petrenko brings to these two scores. It’s good news that this CD is the initial installment in a Strauss series from him and the Oslo orchestra.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

  • A Mythic Heroine in <I> Der Rosenkavalier </I>
    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 11 | Issue 1 Article 3 A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Bridget Ramzy Wilfrid Laurier University Recommended Citation Ramzy, Bridget (2018) "A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier ," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 11: Iss. 1, Article 3. A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Abstract This paper explores the Allomatische—Strauss and Hofmannsthal's concept of transformation by means of taking risk—through its application to Der Rosenkavalier's Marie-Therese (the Marschallin). The Allomatische’s very apparent presence throughout Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s collaborations in their “mythic” operas, urges its examination in Der Rosenkavlier. This paper explores the Marschallin's risk in context of gender, arguing that her self-acceptance as an ageing woman is an exceedingly brave act, that in-turn transforms her. In this paper, a character study of the Marschallin in Act I before the transformation, and after in Act III is presented and corroborated by interspersed musical examples. A comparison with other characters, both male and female, further establishes the gendered context of the Marschallin's risk. In conclusion, the Marschallin's brave risk of self-acceptance as an aging woman transforms her, and places her in the pantheon of Strauss and Hofmannsthal's mythic heroines. Keywords opera, gender, Der Rosenkavalier, the Marschallin, Richard Strauss A Mythic Heroine A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier Bridget Ramzy Year II – Wilfrid Laurier University Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal were fascinated with the theme of transformation. Two of Strauss's tone poems, Tod und Verklärung and Eine Alpensinphonie, deal with the subject, and it is central in many of Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s collaborative works.1 Hofmannsthal wrote, “Transformation is the life of life itself, the real mystery of nature as creative force.

Abgefasst im Spanien des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts, das zu jener Zeit die Geschicke Europas wesentlich mitbestimmte, wurde der Roman bald zum Inbegriff der spanischen Literatur und Kultur. Von Madrid aus hat er auf den Rest Europas ausgestrahlt und Denker, Dichter, Künstler, Komponisten und später Tilmann Altenberg auch Filmemacher zur Auseinandersetzung mit ihm angeregt. Klaus Meyer-Minnemann (Hg.) Die acht Beiträge des Bandes erkunden zentrale Aspekte des cervantinischen Romans und gehen seiner Rezeption und Verar- beitung in Literatur, Kunst, Film und Musik im europäischen Kontext nach. Europäische Dimensionen des Inhalt: · Klaus Meyer-Minnemann: Zur Entstehung, Konzeption und Wir- Film und Musik Kunst, in Literatur, Don Quijote in Literatur, Kunst, kung des Don Quijote in der europäischen Literatur · Hans-Jörg Neuschäfer: Boccaccio, Cervantes und der utopische Possibilismus Film und Musik · Katharina Niemeyer: Der Furz des Sancho Panza oder Don Quijote als komischer Roman Don Quijote · Dieter Ingenschay: Don Quijote in der spanischen und deutschen Literaturwissenschaft · Johannes Hartau: Don Quijote als Thema der bildenden Kunst · Tilmann Altenberg: Don Quijote im Film · Bárbara P.

  • 1 the Alps, Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism
    Note: This is an expanded version of an article appearing in the journal Green Letters (2011); it is intended for a literary rather than musical readership, and the punctuation and spellings are British. The Alps, Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism By Brooks Toliver Introduction After love and death, nature may well be European music’s preferred theme; it figures significantly in troubadour cansos, pastoral madrigals and operas, tone poems, impressionistic preludes, and elsewhere. In light of this it is puzzling how seldom actual nature is invoked in musical discourse. Composers—Richard Strauss among them—have been known to seek out nature in the manner of landscape painters, but there is no similar tradition among the critics, who ground nature-music and their judgments of it not in nature but in other music and criticism. When confronted with the vivid imagery of Strauss’s Alpine Symphony (1915), contemporaries wrote primarily of the aesthetics of vivid imagery, relegating the images themselves to the level of anecdote. Musicologists are quite adept at exploring the relationship of works to cultural constructions of nature, but relatively few have brought real environments into the discussion of canonical music. There has as yet been no serious consideration of how the Alps might be critical to an appreciation of the Alpine Symphony, nor has anyone theorized what the consequences of the Alpine Symphony might be for the Alps. Surely it is worth asking whether it metaphorically embodies sustaining or destructive relationships to the environment it represents, if it respects or disrespects nonhuman nature, and if love of nature is contingent on a symbolic domination of it, to name just three questions.
