  • I CANTANTI LIRICI E' Colpa Della Passione Per L'opera Se Nei Primi Anni
    1 I CANTANTI LIRICI E’ colpa della passione per l’opera se nei primi anni ‘70, quando il mio furore lirico era in fase iperacuta, mi venne in mente di contattare alcuni artisti e di intervistarli. Era un atteggiamento forse infantile: giocavo a fare il giornalista. Giravo con un registratore, una macchina fotografica e una faccia tosta non comune. Cercavo di entrare nei meandri della mente dell’artista lirico, perché avido di notizie su un mondo da me scoperto da pochissimo tempo. Era come andare a lezione privata di “lirica” dai più grandi professori. La mia passione smodata per l’opera fa sì che io ami moltissimo i cantanti: ne conosco molti e li studio, perché sono personaggi strani. Mi affascinava ascoltare in una semplice conversazione quelle “voci” così potenti in scena da sembrare amplificate. Ѐ strano il modo in cui parlano: normale se siamo in due, di solito nel naso, o a bassa voce, se ci sono più persone. Non sono tutti così, ma gran parte usa questa tecnica: forse non se ne accorgono, ed io mi sono ben guardato dal chiederlo, ma ho cercato una spiegazione. A due, nel colloquio diretto, non devono alzare il volume, mentre con più persone è necessario salvaguardare la laringe per cui assumono un tono di voce basso o nasale. I comportamenti poi sono molto curiosi, ci sono quelli talmente loquaci da non fermarsi mai e quelli riservatissimi tanto da essere costretto a rivolgere continue domande per sentirli parlare. Alcuni assumono atteggiamenti ipercritici, altri sviluppano un’aggressività insospettabile: la diffidenza, almeno iniziale, è comune in tutti.

Será con la representación de Fidelio con la que alcanzaremos esta mítica cifra que nos llena de orgullo. Una efeméride singular que celebraremos durante toda esta temporada con distintas actividades. Con esta celebración latente, nuestras aspiraciones continúan creciendo. Así, en este vórtice urbanístico, social, deportivo y cultural que se está consolidando en nuestra villa, ABAO se marca el objetivo de conseguir hacer de Bilbao una verdadera ciudad europea de la ópera. Se trata de un propósito de envergadura, considerando el modelo de colaboración público-privada que nos caracteriza y que es tan poco frecuente en el mundo de la lírica, pero que cuenta con sólidos cimientos y méritos para ello. Cada vez son más nuestros vecinos europeos que así lo perciben. En el apartado artístico tendremos una programación equilibrada y disfrutaremos de títulos representativos de las escuelas italiana, francesa y alemana. Dos óperas muy conocidas y representadas como La bohème y Les pêcheurs de perles pondrán inicio y fin a la temporada.

  • Così Fan Tutte: a Review of the Discography by Ralph Moore The
    Così fan tutte: A Review of the Discography by Ralph Moore The opera discography CLOR lists 116 recordings of Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti (variously translated as “Thus do all women, or, the School for Lovers”, or even “All Women are Like That”) but does not include the latest studio recording. I know of twenty-four studio recordings in Italian of which I review below twenty-one below plus a limited selection of nine live - and live composite - recordings. I have not reviewed the two English versions as they are for a more limited market and this is surely an opera that must be heard in the original Italian libretto, so skilfully devised by Lorenzo Da Ponte. I have been unable to hear three studio recordings: two from the 50’s (Joseph Dünnwald 1951 and Rudolf Moralt 1955) and one made in Monte Carlo in 1974 conducted by Pierre Colombo but I think it unlikely that any of those is essential, as by all accounts they are all flawed in some way. The earliest under review is the classic 1935 Glyndebourne recording under Fritz Busch; the most recent is by Currentzis in 2015 – and the less said about that the better. Despite the claims of Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro, Così remains my personal favourite of Mozart’s Big Three, for reason of its virtually uninterrupted stream of heavenly music and the subtle ironies of its plotline, which, as some modern productions have demonstrated, is by no means as clunkingly sexist as its detractors suggest, even allowing for the differences between late 18C and early 21C sensibilities and attitudes towards women.

Creo que todos estos dizque artistas han dañado mucho al género operístico serio, aportando sólo confusión en beneficio de sus compañías discográficas y productores que les importa todo menos la ópera. ¿Cómo se atreve la compañía que posee el atesorable acervo musical de Maria Callas apoyar a Brightman y situarla al lado de la Divina en sus vergonzantes recopilaciones? Desafortunadamente, muchos otros artistas que uno consideraba de alto profesionalismo tambien caen en semejantes ridículos: Anna Netrebko descalzándose en el escenario e interpretando bufonadas tomadas del espantoso género zarzuelero... Plácido Domingo, al disfrazarse de mariachi luego de interpretar arias de Wagner y Verdi en una misma velada y todos esos cantantes lìricos que revuelven boleros, tangos, arias de ópera y el tema de Titanic en un mismo show.
