Studies & Hamburg Opera Years: 1888–1916 Watch for surprises: the final scene from Salome; Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, and Mahler songs with Bruno Walter at the piano; Mussorgksy’s Songs and Dances of Death; and rarely heard operas such as Pfitzner’s Palestrina, Bittner’s Die Kohlhaymerin, or Kienzl’s Der Kuhreigen. I have taken the path of least resistance when it comes to opera titles, using the English form of familiar operas such as Marriage of Figaro, Magic Flute, Tales of Hoffmann, Merry Wives of Windsor, etc. The opera names and Lied cycles should be italicized, but that hasn’t been done in this Chronology. The Lieder names should be within quotes, but again, that hasn’t been done. Also, as a space-saving measure, when a Lied has been referred to, I have chosen to use an abbreviated version: “Willst du dein Liebsten sterben sehen” becomes “Willst du…” It may appear to be a typo, but the Germans call Butterfly’s Pinkerton, “Linkerton,” and though Faust is called Margarethe in German speaking lands, I leave it as Faust in this chronology. During the Hamburg Opera years there were performances in Altona that was then a suburb of Hamburg, and these are noted. The Metropolitan Opera, Vienna Opera, and Chicago Opera toured and the city of those performances is also provided. The performers (singers and conductors) are listed with their given names the first times they appear. Opera composers’ names are given the first time the opera is listed; the same applies to Lieder composers. Lehmann’s name is abbreviated LL; her regular pianists: Ernö Balogh: EB, Paul Ulanowsky: PU; Bruno Walter: BW; Gwendolyn Williams Koldofsky: GK. The three digit numbers referencing a performance, recording, interview, etc., refer to the Discography found in Volume I. 1888 27 Feb 1888 LL born in Perleberg, Germany 1904–1909 1904 LL begins study at Berlin’s Musikhochschule Jan 1908 LL begins study at the private school of Etelka Gerster, Berlin 28 Sep 1908 LL sings for Stuttgart Opera intendant, Baron Joachim zu Putlitz; Exzelsior Hotel, Berlin; p. unknown Carl Maria von Weber: Der Freischütz; Agathe’s aria; Wagner: Lohengrin; Elsa’s Dream Dec 1908 LL dismissed from the Gerster school, Berlin Feb 1909 LL begins private study with Mathilde Mallinger, Berlin 11 Aug 1909 LL sings (again) for Stuttgart Opera intendant, Baron Joachim zu Putlitz Lieder by Franz and Schumann 24 Oct 1909 Recital: Charity Concert: Perleberg; LL sang eleven numbers; two excerpts from Lohengrin; two Schubert Lieder (other pieces unknown) 430 1910 July 1910 LL and her parents move to Hamburg 2 Sep 1910 Opera debut: Mozart: Magic Flute; LL, Second Boy Siewert, Tamino; Hindermann, Queen of the Night; Pricken, Pamina; Vogl, Papageno; Elisabeth Schumann, First Boy; Birkenström, Third Boy; Gustav Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 6 Sep 1910 Richard Wagner: Tannhäuser; LL, Second Page Lattermann, Hermann; Pennarini, Tannhäuser; Vogl, Wolfram; Siewert, Walter; Edyth Walker, Elisabeth; Hösl, Venus; Schumann, Shepherd; Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 20 Sep 1910 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Magic Flute: LL, Second Boy cast as 2 Sep except: Fleisher-Edel, Pamina; Lohse, First Boy 23 Sep 1910 Not 16 Sep as stated elsewhere; Wagner; Das Rheingold; LL, Freia Max Dawison, Wotan; Wiedemann, Donner, Paul Hochheim, Froh; Benarrini, Loge; vom Scheidt, Alberich; Lichtenstein, Mime; Lattermann, Fasolt; Lohfling, Fafner; Hösl, Fricka; Ottilie Metzger, Erda; Artur Nikisch, cond., Hamburg Opera 29 Sep 1910 Weber: Der Freischütz; LL, a Bridesmaid Petzel, Agathe; Schumann, Ännchen; Lattermann, Caspar; Birrenkoven, Max; Wilhelm Harmans, cond., Hamburg Opera Sep 1910 Wagner: Die Meistersinger; LL, Apprentice Dawison, Sachs; Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 7 Oct 1910 Die Meistersinger; LL, Apprentice Dawison, Sachs; Lattermann, Pogner; Wiedmann, Beckmesser; Hochheim, Walter; Lichtenstein, David; Bella Alten (guest from the Metropolitan Opera), Eva; Mosel-Tomschik, Magdalene; Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 9 Oct 1910 Der Freischütz; LL, a Bridesmaid same cast as 29 Sep except: Fleischer-Edel, Agathe; Hochheim, Max; Otto Klemperer, cond. 13 Oct 1910 Der Freischütz; Altona; LL, a Bridesmaid Pricken, Agathe; Schumann, Ännchen; vom Scheidt, Caspar; Birrenkoven, Max; Harmans, cond., Hamburg Opera 17 Oct 1910 Die Meistersinger; LL, Apprentice same cast as 7 Oct 24 Oct 1910 Magic Flute; LL, Second Boy Siewert, Tamino; Winternitz-Dorda, Queen of the Night; Pricken, Pamina; Vogl, Papageno; Schumann, First Boy; Birkenström, Third Boy; Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 30 Oct 1910 Giacomo Meyerbeer: Der Prophet; LL, Second Choirboy Hochheim, Johann; Metzger, Fides; Winternitz-Dorda, Bertha; Siewert, Jonas; Wiedemann, Mathiesen; Max Lohfing, Zacharias; Dawison, Oberthal; Brecher, cond., Hamburg Opera 431 18 Nov 1910 Concert: Altona; LL Bizet: Carmen: Micaëla’s aria and Lieder by Franz and Reger 26 Nov 1910 Der Freischütz; LL, a Bridesmaid same cast as 13 Oct except: Lattermann, Caspar 27 Nov 1910 Otto Nicolai: The Merry Wives of Windsor; LL, Anna Lohfing, Falstaff; von Scheidt, Fluth; Siewert, Fenton; Hindermann, Frau Fluth; Mosel-Tomschik, Frau Reich; Brecher, cond.

  • Karel Burian – the Guest of Budapest (1913–1924)
    100 Ferenc János Szabó Institute of Musicology, Research Centre for the Humanities Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest Karel Burian – the Guest of Budapest (1913–1924) Abstract | In the present article the last third of Karel Burian’s career is discussed, not only because it is perhaps a less known period of Burian’s biography, but also because it is close- ly connected with Hungarian culture. In these years he appeared in Budapest as a regular guest of the Royal Hungarian Opera mainly as a Wagner singer but also in French, Italian and Hungarian operas, and celebrated his thirty-year jubilee as an opera singer also in Bu- dapest. After a chronological overview, certain special aspects of Burian’s Hungarian activity are examined, e. g. his Hungarian naturalization (the so called ‘Hungarian divorce’) and the political context of his appearances at the end of the First World War. Keywords | Karel Burian – First World War – Hungarian divorce – Hungary – Naturalization – Opera, Scandals – Richard Wagner 1 Introduction1 Even today, the name of the Czech Heldentenor Karel Burian sounds familiar not only in his na- tive land, but also among the opera lovers in Hungary. Despite the fact that it was required to sing in Hungarian on the stage of the Royal Hungarian Opera, the most successful Wagner tenor of the fi rst quarter of the 20th century in Budapest was a foreign singer: Karel Burian. In the present article I discuss the last ten years of his career, not only because it is perhaps a less known period of Burian’s biography, but also because it is closely connected with Hungarian musical culture.

    THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rebecca Mara Plack May 2008 © 2008 Rebecca Mara Plack THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 Rebecca Mara Plack, Ph. D. Cornell University 2008 In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between vocal technique and performance style through 165 audio clips of early Lieder recordings. I proceed from the starting point that many stylistic gestures are in fact grounded in a singer’s habitual vocalism. Vibrato, tempo and rubato are directly affected by a singer’s voice type and his physical condition, and portamento has long been a technical term as well as a stylistic one. If we consider these technical underpinnings of style, we are inevitably moved to ask: how do a singer’s vocal habits affect what we perceive to be his style? Does a singer’s habitual vocalism result in his being more likely to make certain style gestures, or even unable to make others? To address these questions, I begin by defining a vocabulary that draws on three sources: the language of vocal pedagogy, data derived from voice science, and evidence drawn from recordings themselves. In the process, I also consider how some Lieder singers distorted the word “technique,” using it to signify emotional detachment. Next, I examine the ways in which a recording represents the performer, addressing how singers are affected by both changing aesthetics and the aging process; both of these lead to a discussion of how consistently some performers make certain stylistic gestures throughout their recordings.

  • Karel Burian and Hungary Research Director: Anna Dalos Phd Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No
    DLA Theses Ferenc János Szabó Karel Burian and Hungary Research director: Anna Dalos PhD Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No. 28 for the History of Art and Culture Budapest 2011 I. Antecedents of the research Karel Burian was one of the best tenors of the first two decades of the twentieth century. The authors of his biographies always mention his Wagner roles – mainly Tristan – and his long presence in New York, and primarily the world premiere of Salome by Richard Strauss, when he played the role of Herod to much acclaim. His reputation and popularity might be measured against those of Enrico Caruso. Burian was first engaged in Budapest as a young but already well- known Wagner-tenor, he worked there for one year as a member of the Opera House, then later as guest singer regularly until his death. He was likely the most influential operatic world star in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century, and was the founder and for many years the only intended representative of the Heldentenor role in Hungary. He primarily sang Wagner operas, but there was also a Hungarian opera on his repertoire in Budapest. A study of his activities in Hungary contributes to our knowledge of Hungarian opera life, and Burian’s whole career affected the cultural history of the period because of his frequent guest appearances in Budapest. Burian’s Budapest activity had a great influence on the young composers of that time, most notably on Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály as well. There is a relatively large amount of literature about Burian, mostly in Czech, English and German.
