(1) Signet Mit Nele Freudenberger – guten Morgen! Heute starten wir mit unserer Wochenreihe zum Thema „musikalisches Recycling“. Das hat in der Musikgeschichte viel größere Spuren hinterlassen als man annehmen könnte. Fremde Themen werden ausgeliehen, bearbeitet, variiert, eigene Themen wieder verwendet. Sogar eine eigene Gattung ist aus dem musikalischen Recycling hervorgegangen: das Pasticcio – und mit dem werden wir uns heute eingehender beschäftigen (0:26) Titelmelodie Ein musikalisches Pasticcio wird in Deutschland auch „Flickenoper“ genannt. Dieser wenig schmeichelhafte Name sagt eigentlich schon alles. Zum einen bezeichnet er treffend das zugrunde liegende Kompositionsprinzip: handelt es sich doch um eine Art musikalisches Patchwork, das aus alten musikalischen Materialien besteht. Die können von einem oder mehreren Komponisten stammen. Zum anderen gibt es auch gleich eine ästhetische Einordnung, denn „Flickenoper“ klingt wenn nicht schon verächtlich, so doch wenigstens despektierlich.

  • Estreno Mundial Del Motezuma De Vivaldi
    A partir del descubrimiento sobre Vivaldi más importante en los últimos cincuenta años Estreno mundial del Motezuma de Vivaldi Gabriel Pareyón Rotterdam, 15 de junio [de 2005].- El fin de semana pasado se presentó en De Doelen, considerada la sala de conciertos más importante de esta ciudad holandesa, la ópera en tres actos Motezuma (1733), de Antonio Vivaldi (1678- 1741), en versión de concierto, sin decorados ni escenografía. La interpretación, que se anunció en todo el país como “estreno mundial”, estuvo a cargo del ensamble barroco Modo Antiguo, bajo la dirección de Federico María Sardelli. En realidad la ópera se estrenó el 14 de noviembre de 1733 en el teatro Sant’Angelo de Venecia, pero con tan mala fortuna que nunca se volvió a ejecutar hasta el sábado pasado, tras 271 años de silencio. Este largo período de olvido se debió principalmente a dos causas. Una de orden musical y otra fortuita. La primera ocurrió con el estreno mismo de la obra en que, al parecer, la mezzosoprano solista Anna Girò tuvo algunos problemas para cantar. Como resultado la prima donna de Vivaldi no volvería a interpretar ninguna ópera suya, a excepción de Il Tamerlano (1735). A ello se sumó cierto malestar del público, que tal vez juzgó la pieza “demasiado seria” (pues no hay siquiera un duo de amor ni ninguna danza) y que además esperaba del compositor, en vano, algún gesto de sumisión ante la poderosa novedad del estilo de Nápoles. Éste, conocido como “estilo galante”, significaría la vuelta de página entre las tendencias veneciana y napolitana, que se tradujo en el paso del barroco hacia el clasicismo (transición que en México representó Ignacio de Jerusalem [1707-1769] frente al estilo de Manuel de Sumaya [1676-1755]).

The genus just newly created is celebrated everywhere. Not quite. For in Romee were allowed operas for decades heard exclusively in a closed society. The Papal State, who wanted to seem virtuous achieved at least outwardly like all these stories about love, lust, passions and all the ancient heroes and gods was morally rather questionable.

  • Giants Among Men by Robert Thicknesse
    Reviews Recordings Giants among men By Robert Thicknesse The latest additions to Naïve’s Vivaldi Edition provide satisfying if intermittent pleasures while a rarity by Bononcini, Handel’s contemporary, hits the spot Argippo is not exactly that but it’s a bit pretending to be someone way posher of a dog’s dinner (and isn’t that the literal (ie Argippo, neighbouring nabob), and meaning of pasticcio?): a reconstruction it leads to much trouble, finally (not of a show probably put together by Vivaldi convincingly) undone when he fesses for (maybe) Prague, including some of his up. But the music takes a while to match own old recycled music plus many arias by the drama, and there is a gulf between the likes of Hasse and Vinci. Well, I think words and music all the way through, that’s what’s going on: Reinhard Strohm’s with many off-the-peg arias. Stick with programme note is a teeny bit confusing. it and there’s the payoff of a few lovely Anyway, violinist/conductor Fabio Biondi, pieces, including much medium-showy Argippo the pocket-sized but full-on Europa coloratura, terrific violin parts and nicely Galante (six violins) and his nice cast put a wandering tunes, very decently sung by Vivaldi lot of energy into some pretty run-of-the- Emőke Baráth, Marie Lys, Delphine Galou Naïve OP 7079 (Vivaldi Edition vol 64) mill music and eventually make a decent and Marianna Pizzolato, some even not case for this piece, though Act One is a bit in 4/4 time and without those hammering of a meet-the-gang slog.

  • Tamerlano: Comptes-Rendus / Reviews / Kritiken Pt1 FNAC, 02 04 2016
    Tamerlano: comptes-rendus / reviews / Kritiken pt1 FNAC, 02_04_2016 Les perles Le Tamerlano qu'il vous faut 118 vues Une nouvelle version du Tamerlano de Georg Friedrich Haendel vient de sortir chez Naïve. C'est une fois de plus une initiative du contre-ténor Max-Emanuel Cencic et de Parnassus Arts Productions à qui nous devons notamment la re-création du magnifique Artaserse de Leonardo Vinci (maintenant disponible aussi en DVD) et d'un Alessandro de Haendel multi récompensé. Pourquoi une nouvelle version de Tamerlano dont il existe déjà plusieurs enregistrements, alors que d'autres opéras baroques sont encore inédits ? Quand on y regarde bien, peu de versions se rapprochent de la distribution vocale choisie par Haendel. Les versions de Malgoire en 1984 et de Gardiner en 1991 sont les seules dans lesquelles les deux rôles de Bajazet et d'Andronico soient tenus par des contre-ténors (des castrats à l'origine). Par ailleurs, Max-Emanuel Cencic, qui a chanté sur scène Tamerlano et Andronico en compagnie de certains des chanteurs choisis ici, souhaitait concrétiser ce travail scénique par un enregistrement. Les chanteurs sont accompagnés par l'ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro dirigé par Riccardo Minasi, partenaires de Cencic dans le récital Venezia. Tamerlano est un drame lyrique créé en le 31 octobre 1724 au King's Theater de Londres, la même année que le célèbre Giulio Cesare in Egitto, donné quelques mois plus tôt dans le même lieu. L'opéra reprend un thème assez utilisé à une époque où les turqueries étaient en vogue, la mort tragique du sultan turc Bajazet, vaincu par le souverain mongol Tamerlano.
