PACO177 Front.Std
[Q]o§~ DI GITAL AUDIO PACO 177 Puccini La fanciulla del West "It is good that this vintage recording of Puccin i's Wild West opera should reappear, when it offers so- fascinating a performance by the young Birgit Nilsson in the title-role. I remember a long talk I had with her, when rather to my surprise she said that she found the role more taxing than Turandot, and the high tessitura no doubt explains that. Ni lsson remembered what a struggle she had learning the part at the last minute specially for the recording, yet her poise and control of line readily match that of Teba ldi on the rival Decca set which was also recorded in 1958, while her voca l agility and control of tonal gradation are even greater. The EMI set was always a strong contender, but it had limited circulation, partly because it arrived after its rival, and unlike the Decca-which became a showpiece recording in the stereo era thanks to its superb sound-failed to survive long, or later to get reissued at mid-price. Yet with vigorous direction from Matacic, conducting repertory unexpected for him, it has much to offer besides the heroine's performance. This is a more melodramatic, if less atmospheric reading, missing some of the reflective beauty caught by Franco Capuana and enhanced by the Decca engineers, but bitingly dramatic in its extreme contrasts. Generally this is a more urgent performance, as even the overall timings make plain-127 minutes as opposed to nearly 134 on the Decca set.

Maria Callas
IN SEARCH OF THE “TRUE” SOUND OF AN ARTIST: A STUDY OF RECORDINGS BY MARIA CALLAS Adriaan Fuchs Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Music Technology) in the Faculty of Arts, Stellenbosch University. APRIL 2006 Supervisor: Mr. T Herbst Co-supervisor: Prof. HJ Vermeulen DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously, in its entirety or in part, submitted it at any university for a degree. …………………… …………………… Adriaan Fuchs Date ii ABSTRACT Modern digital signal processing, allowing a much greater degree of flexibility in audio processing and therefore greater potential for noise removal, pitch correction, filtering and editing, has allowed transfer and audio restoration engineers a diversity of ways in which to “improve” or “reinterpret” (in some cases even drastically altering) the original sound of recordings. This has lead to contrasting views regarding the role of the remastering engineer, the nature and purpose of audio restoration and the ethical implications of the restoration process. The influence of audio restoration on the recorded legacy of a performing artist is clearly illustrated in the case of Maria Callas (1923 - 1977), widely regarded not only as one of the most influential and prolific of opera singers, but also one of the greatest classical musicians of all time. EMI, for whom Callas recorded almost exclusively from 1953 - 1969, has reissued her recordings repeatedly,

Decca Discography
DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>I ITALY & Monte Carlo Until the mid-1960s it was taken for granted that the place to record Italian opera was Italy. After a few sessions in Milan (lost to EMI in 1954) and a recording with the Turin Symphony Orchestra during a visit to London in 1947 (AR11722-47), Decca settled on Rome from 1950-70, plus Florence from 1955- 63, with an excursion to Naples in 1964. Monte Carlo followed from 1967-69 and Bologna from 1973-77, but by then London had become the world’s capital for recording operas, whether Italian, French, German or English. Del Monaco was the reigning tenor from 1952-69 and Tebaldi the reigning soprano from 1951-73. Their successors Pavarotti (1964-99) and Sutherland (1959-87) recorded mainly in London and regular sessions in Italy only resumed with Chailly, in Bologna from 1986-93 and Milan since 1995. In the twenty-first century opera recording in Italy has regained something of the status it enjoyed fifty years earlier, though both Bartoli (from 1988) and Flórez (from 1998) have also recorded extensively elsewhere. >RVI VENUES Thirty-eight different venues were used, but only four (those in bold ) hosted ten or more entries, whilst twenty-one were only visited once. Evidently finding satisfactory locations in Bologna and Milan proved difficult. AULA ABSIDALE DI SANTA LUCIA, BOLOGNA, Emilia Romagna (1988), a 300 seat hall set in the apse of a church (1659), was visited twice in 1991-92 to record the local chamber orchestra. Chiesa di SAN GIORGIO POGGIALE, BOLOGNA, Emilia Romagna (1633) was preferred to the opera house for four recordings from 1985-87.

Maria Callas · Performance Annals 1934
MARIA CALLAS PERFORMANCE ANNALS AND DISCOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION These annals began in 1988 as a few notes scribbled to a computer in Boulder Colorado when the first pirates of the live performances appeared on compact disc. The inconsistency of performance dates and other details on those early CDs prompted me to do further research that began with John Ardoin’s The Callas Legacy. Later, yearning to know what had been performed between all those recorded performances, I borrowed the book containing Arthur Germond’s performance annals from the University of Colorado Music School Library, and have continued to work on the project to this day. Performance annals allow us to comprehend the scope of an artist’s career, and knowing the programme of all participants in a recital is important. I realize that presenting entire programmes from the student years in Athens seems excessive, but I feel it enhances our understanding of the environment where Maria Callas lived and studied in her youth. This chronology is a compilation of the research of many people. The work of a few has been almost heroic in scope: Arthur Germond was the first to publish detailed annals representing all cast changes; John Ardoin was perhaps the first to compile annals and to comprehensively analyze the recorded performances, indeed these annals began their life as a tabular version of Legacy; Poly´vios Marsán was the first to present programme information from the Greek school days and early career in Athens; Níkos Petsális-Diomídis has published the most comprehensive analysis of any singer’s formative years ever undertaken, indeed one-thousand pages covering a seven year period 1938-1945 with emphasis on early musical experience and training, as well as the politics and the climate of the times.

Puccini's La Fanciulla Del West
Puccini’s La fanciulla del West - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are sixty recordings in the catalogue but only four of those are studio-made. Discounting Puccini’s first, tentative efforts, the comparative neglect of La fanciulla del West is matched only by La rondine, which has also been given only four studio recordings and even fewer live performances. They were both composed in the middle of Puccini’s creative maturity after the premieres of the “Big Three”, yet have struggled to maintain a foothold in the operatic repertoire. There are reasons for that, but devotees of both operas are puzzled by their neglect. Fanciulla could hardly have a more auspicious premiere, being launched in 1910 on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera starring no less a lead singer than the greatest tenor of all time, Enrico Caruso, alongside the great dramatic soprano Emmy Destinn, both in roles created by Puccini especially for them – and for good measure, Pasquale Amato was Jack Rance, Toscanini conducting. Time machine, anybody? Although I do not share Puccini's belief that Fanciulla is his greatest work it contains a wealth of lovely music, not least big, well-known arias and some tender love music. It's true that the Americanisms - everyone bawling "Hello!" and randomly singing “Dooda day!” - and the rather ghastly, patronising depiction of Native Americans going "Ugh!" are rather grating and even embarrassing to a modern audience, and there is more than a hint of sentimentality about the plot, but it can be hugely enjoyable when performed by a great cast.
