Biography Alfredo Kraus Born Alfredo José María del Carmen Kraus Trujillo in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 24 November 1927, Alfredo Kraus was the second child of Otto Kraus Polensky, from Austria, and Josefina Trujillo Mujica, from Gran Canaria. His parents introduced him to music at an early age: when he was four he began to study piano and at the age of eight he joined the choir of his primary school, Colegio del Corazón de María / Claret. As an adolescent he took classes from María Suárez Fiol de León and at 17 he joined the Sociedad Filarmónica choir, later moving on to the Coral Polifónica de Las Palmas. Following his father’s wishes, Alfredo Kraus studied Technical Industrial Engineering and graduated in 1950, although that did not put an end to his vocal training, which he pursued in Barcelona with Gali Markoff, in Valencia with Francisco Andrés, and especially in Milan, with Mercedes Llopart, his most influential singing teacher.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

This music is the Russian Sailors’ Dance. The Russian Sailors’ Dance is from the ballet “The Red Poppy”. The story takes place on a Chinese waterfront where Russian sailors, Chinese coolies (or workers), and a beautiful young Chinese woman all take turns dancing. It ends with the Russian sailors dancing to a rousing finish. Day 2: This week’s music is the Russian Sailors’ Dance from the ballet, “The Red Poppy” composed by Reinhold Glière. This music was written in 1927. The story is set in a Chinese seaport where a group of Chinese dock workers have been half-starved and brutally over-worked. A Russian captain comes to their rescue, and a young Chinese woman offers him a bouquet of flowers. The bouquet includes red poppies which are the symbol of liberty in China. Other workers gather to watch and then to join in the dancing. Listen to the melody as it is repeated in different styles. Can you picture the style of dancing for each repetition of the theme? Day 3: This week we are listening to the Russian Sailors’ Dance from “The Red Poppy” ballet by Reinhold Glière. We will be hearing an introduction which crescendos to a climax followed by the theme which is presented in very low bass tones.
