  • 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.

  • Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 -.::GP-Magma
    Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 Planos Silvestre Revueltas - pocas veces el nombre y apellido de un artista han sido tan premonitorios como en este caso - es sin duda alguna uno de los creadores más asombrosos y originales del siglo XX. Su México no es sólo el de los mariachis, sones y corridos, sino también el de las calaveras y esqueletos de José Guadalupe Posada, los murales de Diego Rivera, las pinturas de Frida Kahlo, los poetas estridentistas y los trasterrados europeos como Lev Trotski, Tina Modotti, Hanns Eisler, Rodolfo Halffter y Otto Mayer Serra. El momento político de su máxima explosión creativa coincide con el sexenio del gobierno progresista del general Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940), impulsor de cambios sociales (la reforma agraria) y culturales (la reforma educativa y el apoyo al cine). Por otro lado, abarca la guerra civil española (que contó a Revueltas como defensor de la República) y el inicio de la segunda guerra mundial. También es el México de su colaboración musical y amistad personal primero y, a partir de 1935, del rompimiento definitivo y la dura confrontación con su coetáneo Carlos Chávez (1899-1978). Tema éste bastante tabú aún hoy en México, la perspectiva histórica ha ido echando luz sobre un enfrentamiento signado sin duda por irreconciliables visiones del mundo. Chávez y Revueltas representaban posicionamientos antagónicos: el pionero Revueltas frente al académico Chávez; el luchador idealista frente al pragmático calculador; el creador apasionado frente al detentador del poder musical en México; el comprometido testigo sonoro de su tiempo y época frente al “músico de hierro” como lo llamara Revueltas 2, primero modernista y luego cultor de un nacionalismo indigenista con tintes neoclásicos europeos, opciones estéticas éstas comparables a algunas del brasileño Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959).

    [Q]oi© □ PACO 164 DIGITAL AUDIO Beecham ,..;., PACO 164 ., Puccini: La Boheme '\, , , This 1956 recording of Lo Boheme continues to stand out in the catalogue. Soloists and conductor combined to create a classic of recorded opera oozing with musicality. This remarkable achievement occurred -despite the cast and conductor having little rehearsa l time or previous col laborations to fa ll back on. This was the only time PabYm~(!_t\ Beecham and Bjiirling worked together, and while Bjiirling and de los Angeles had recorded Pogliocci in 1953 and I ,, \ appeared in four performances of Faust at the Metropolitan the same year, they never sang in a performance of Lo Boheme on the same stage. ,~ Rodolfo was Jussi Bjiirling's most frequent stage role (with 114 performances) and it lasted the longest in his repertoire (1934-1960). In an opera packed with memorable tunes Rodolfo has many of them and Bjiirling's truly \ beautiful voice captures the poetic tenderness of the exchanges with Mimi in act one before easing into the rodolfo Jussi bjorling .. lyricism needed for the aria and closing duet. As someone not particularly renowned for his stage acting, it is to our ) benefit that Bjiirling does all his acting with his voice. As the tragedy of Mimi's illness unfolds Bjiirling is able to mimi victoria de los angeles expose Rodolfo's despair simply via his vocal timbre and co louring. On ly the hard-hearted can listen to act four marcello robert merrill ~ · without a tear and those who persist in thinking as Bjiirling as a 'cold' singer are surely disproved by this display of true Italianate style.

  • 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.
