  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

  • Les Concerts
    MIHAI DE BRANCOVAN LES CONCERTS Régine Crespin chante Wagner. — Récitals de Gundula Janowitz et d'Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. J'ai naturellement tendance à me méfier de ce que l'on appelle, à Paris, le « concert Wagner », vocable alléchant sous lequel se cache, le plus souvent, une sorte de fourre-tout où l'on retrouve, pêle-mêle, les fragments symphoniques les plus célèbres, voire les plus rabâchés, des œuvres du maître de Bayreuth, véritable pot-pourri périodiquement offert en pâture au public du dimanche après-midi, lequel ne rêve que d'achever sa diges• tion bercé par les Murmures de la forêt ou bouleversé par les émotions plus fortes de la Marche funèbre. Cela dit, rassurez-vous, car c'est d'un « concert Wagner » d'un tout autre genre que je vais vous entretenir : loin d'être fait de bric et de broc, son programme ne comprenait que des pages totalement indépendantes de leur contexte ou pouvant en être isolées sans dommage, l'une d'entre elles étant toute la seconde moitié du premier acte de la Walküre, donc bien plus qu'un simple extrait. Et puis, il y avait la présence de deux solistes dont Régine Crespin, que l'on n'entend plus que trop rarement à Paris ces temps-ci. N'allez pas croire pour autant que ce concert ait été d'un bout à l'autre un modèle de perfection ; tant s'en faut. La première partie a même été franchement décevante : l'Orchestre philharmonique des pays de la Loire dirigé par Pierre Dervaux nous a donné, pour commencer, une exécution bruyante de l'ouverture du Fliegende Holländer : défavorisées par la modestie de leur nombre, les cordes étaient presque inaudibles, tandis que les cuivres, enivrés de leur puissance, s'en donnaient à cœur joie, allant même jusqu'à faire entendre plusieurs « couacs ».

  • 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.
