  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    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.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society

    NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society

    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 3 December 2003 HOUSTON GRAND OPERA’S GIULIO CESARE Giulio Cesare is one of Handel’s most justly celebrated operas. First performed in 1724, it was revived several times during the composer’s lifetime. Donald Burrows, in his Master Musicians biography of Handel selects the opera for detailed analysis, citing among its strengths, "a fast-moving plot, full of incident, and some of Handel’s best arias, as well as scenes that are spectacular from both musical and dramatic standpoints."1 During the twentieth century the opera was revived fairly regularly, though it often fell victim to the well-intentioned surgery of producers, directors and conductors. Music History teachers of a certain vintage can remember the Norton Anthology of Western Music recorded excerpt which featured the title role sung by Wagnerian bass Hans Hotter. It was also not so long ago when the choice of recorded versions was limited to a severely cut, Belliniesque ornamented American recording and an uncut every-da-capo-taken-but-unornamented German performance. Just two years ago, while preparing a performance of excerpts for an Opera Scenes class, I was frustrated in my attempts to find a score with the part of Caesar in treble clef, the choices being bass or alto clef. The recordings of Giulio Cesare have improved recently, but the work still awaits a critical edition and Handel’s beautiful yet lengthy score remains a challenging one for opera houses Keiichiro Watanabe March 2, 1932 - December 12, 2001 to realize on the stage.

    PHILHARMONIC HALL LINCOLN CENTER F O R T H E PERFORMING ARTS 1968-1969 MARQUEE The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is Formed A new PERFORMiNG-arts institution, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, will begin its first season of con­ certs next October with a subscription season of 16 concerts in eight pairs, run­ ning through early April. The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
