  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.

New York City, 1867-Berlin, 1930. Born of German parents, Blass studied first as a violinist and then voice in Frankfurt with Julius Stockhau- sen. His debut was in Weimar, 1892, as King Henry in Lohengrin and he was soon heard in many of Germany’s leading houses. Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera first heard him in 1900 and he sang in New York through 1910 and again the seasons of 1920-22. From 1913 to 1920 he was with Berlin’s Deutsche Opera and he taught in Berlin until his death. Blass made few recordings, these for Victor in 1903 and Edison in 1905. 9165. 2M Wax Edison B-48.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1991 35 Operatic Vitaphone Shorts
    THE OPERATIC VITAPHONE SHORTS By William Shaman On 6 August 1926 "Vitaphone," the latest commercial sound-on-disc motion picture system, made its debut at the Warners' Theater in New York City. The feature film that evening, "Don Juan," with John Barrymore and Mary Astor, was a lavish costume picture with a pre-recorded soundtrack consisting of synchronized sound effects and a Spanish-flavored score written by Major Edward Bowes, David Mendoza, and Dr. William Axt, played by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Henry Hadley. There was no spoken dialogue. Eight short subjects preceded "Don Juan:" Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers Association, welcoming the Vitaphone in a spoken address; the Overture to Tannhauser played by the New York Philharmonic, again with Hadley conducting; violinist Mischa Elman, accompanied by pianist Josef Bonime, playing Dvorak's "Humoresque" and Gossec's "Gavotte;" Roy Smeck, "Wizard of the Strings," in a medley of Hawaiian guitar, ukulele, and banjo solos; violinist Efrem Zimbalist and pianist Harold Bauer playing the theme and variations from Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata, and three solos by singers Marion Talley, Giovanni Martinelli and Anna Case. By all accounts, the show was a resounding success. A steady flow of shorts and part-talking features would follow, beginning with the second Vitaphone show on 7 October 1926. On 6 October 1927 "The Jazz Singer" premiered in New York. The other major Hollywood studios, anticipating a favorable public response to sound films, had been involved in clandestine negotiations since 1926 and now were scrambling to secure a share of this lucrative new market.

Quiero manifestar mi gratitud a las personas que me han acompañado y aconsejado en el trascurso de la investigación, en especial a mis tutoras María José de Córdoba, de la Universidad de Granada y Dina Riccò, del departamento de Design en el Politecnico di Milano, de las cuales tanto sigo aprendiendo y a las que les debo horas y horas de paciencia en la orientación de la investigación. A Irene Toca mi compañera y amiga, una persona amarilla que irradia luz, sin ti esto no hubiera sido posible, gracias eternas por alumbrar con una sonrisa los días grises, por inspirarme en las largas noches de conversaciones sobre sinestesia e ideaestesia, y por estar dispuesta a regalarme lo que más vale en tu vida, tu tiempo. Y por supuesto a Sean A. Day y Victor Parra por las indicaciones profesionales. 3 Introducción La creatividad no es propiedad de los artistas.
