Il gran pontefice Zaccaria rincuora la sua gente. In mano ebrea è tenuta come ostaggio la figlia di Nabucco, Fenena, la cui custodia Zaccaria affida a Ismaele, nipote del re di Gerusalemme. Questi, tuttavia, promette alla giovane di restituirle la libertà, perché un giorno a Babilonia egli stesso, prigioniero, era stato liberato da Fe- nena.

Anch’essa è innamorata di Ismaele e minaccia Fenena di riferire al padre che ella ha tentato di fuggire con uno stra- niero; infine si dichiara disposta a tacere a patto che Ismaele rinunci alla giovane.

  • Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson
    Some Recent Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson The original European Universal Eloquence label replaced budget releases on DG (Privilege or Resonance), Decca (Weekend Classics) and Philips (Classical Favourites). Like them it originally sold for around £5 and offered some splendid bargains such as Telemann’s ‘Water Music’ and excerpts from Tafelmusik (Musica Antiqua Köln/Reinhard Goebel 4696642) and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (Janet Baker, James King, Concertgebouw/Bernard Haitink 4681822). Later most of the original batch were deleted – luckily the Mahler remains available – and production switched to Universal Australia but the price remained around the same. More recently changes in the value of the £ mean that single CDs now sell for around £7.75 but the high quality of much of the repertoire means that they remain well worth keeping an eye on. Many, but not all, of the albums are available to stream or download and I have reviewed some in that form and others on CD. Be aware, however, that the downloads often cost more than the CDs and invariably come without notes – which is a shame because the Eloquence booklets are better than those of many budget labels.

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

  • Comunicato Stampa
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Otello, omaggio a Giuseppe Verdi nel bicentenario della nascita, inaugura la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 Giovedì 2 maggio alle 20.30 si alza il sipario sulla Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Una stagione sempre molto attesa dal pubblico che, anche per quest’anno, segna la rinascita e la voglia di proseguire nella diffusione musicale del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Sei opere liriche ed un balletto, una produzione in più rispetto all’anno scorso, tutti titoli di grande interesse che, certamente, troveranno il gradimento del pubblico, sia per quelli noti che per quelli ricercati: Otello, Macbeth, L’amico Fritz, I Shardana, Così fan tutte, Pagliacci, Red Giselle. L’inaugurazione è affidata al doveroso omaggio, in occasione del bicentenario della nascita, a Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole di Busseto, Parma, 1813 - Milano, 1901), massimo operista italiano: Otello, dramma lirico in quattro atti, su libretto di Arrigo Boito, dalla tragedia omonima di William Shakespeare, e musica, appunto, di Verdi, va in scena per sei rappresentazioni, dal 2 al 10 maggio, per il XIII Festival di Sant’Efisio del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Lo spettacolo inaugurale, un stimolante allestimento dello scorso gennaio della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari, conta dell’eccezionale regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius, geniale artista lituano, celebre in tutto il mondo dello spettacolo per aver curato importanti allestimenti teatrali e che ritorna a Cagliari dopo l’allestimento di La leggenda della città invisibile di Kitež e della fanciulla Fevronija di Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov che inaugurò la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2008, delle scene di Marius Nekrosius, dei costumi di Nadežda Gultiajeva e delle luci di Audrius Jankauskas che sfruttano tutte le potenzialità drammaturgiche dell’opera con pochi elementi scenici e colori assemblati con grande pulizia ed eleganza, oltre a movimenti essenziali, in un gioco di rimandi simbolici.

  • The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on Iitaly.Org (
    The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on iItaly.org (http://ftp.iitaly.org) The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Samantha Janazzo (January 31, 2017) Parma and Busseto co-host The Festival Verdi 2017 to celebrate the operatic arts and the legacy of an Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi, with some of his finest productions. Giuseppe Verdi was a 19th century Grand Maestro and one of the most distinguished opera composers in history. Held at the same level of attainment as Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini; Verdi dominated the opera scene with his unwavering demonstration of sympathy and compassion in his work. The Festival Verdi [2] creates a tour that honors his succeess with 25 days of opera premieres, productions, special events, meet and greets, and so much more. Each year it tours through the enchanting towns of Parma and Busseto, lands that were cultivated by Verdi’s talent, and places where he built the foundation of his international musical success. The main shows for 2017 include Jérusalem, La Traviata, Stiffelio, Falstaff, and Messa da Requiem at the Teatro Regio di Parma and other locations. Dr. Anna Maria Meo [3], director of the prestigious Teatro Regio di Parma [4], comments on the many new additions that will make this festival better than ever before; which starts at the end of Page 1 of 3 The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on iItaly.org (http://ftp.iitaly.org) September and ends late October. In order to ensure that Verdi’s origins are recognized while focusing on utilizing the best of the energy, funds, and people for this international event, Meo has appointed a new scientific committee, the creation of the Association Internal Friend of Festival Verdi, and membership to Opera Europa [5].

  • Mto.12.18.1.Barolsky
    Volume 18, Number 1, April 2012 Copyright © 2012 Society for Music Theory Rendering the Prosaic Persuasive: Gould and the Performance of Bach’s C-minor Prelude (WTC I) Daniel Barolsky and Peter Martens NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.12.18.1/mto.12.18.1.barolsky_martens.php KEYWORDS: analysis, hypermeter, Glenn Gould, recordings ABSTRACT: While Bach’s Prelude in C minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 (BWV 847) is straightforward in several respects, its duple hypermeter defies simple and consistent continuation. In what is often regarded as an idiosyncratic interpretation of the piece, Glenn Gould grapples with this complex hypermeter and offers a carefully considered and compelling analysis. Through a comparison with performances by Samuel Feinberg, Wanda Landowska, and with Carl Czerny's performance edition, we argue that Gould reveals new tensions and structures within Bach’s score. Received January 2012 [1] Portrayals of the pianist Glenn Gould are often contradictory.
