    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs FRANZ (FRANTISEK) PÁCAL [t]. Leitomischi, Austria, 1865-Nepomuk, Czechoslo- vakia, 1938. First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

The difficulties arise from the lack of markings in some cases, ambiguous or impractical markings in others (with some evidence that at times Puccini himself was not reliable in this matter), doubts about the authorship of some markings, and wide variations in tempo among recorded perfor- mances.

  • MARIO DEL MONACO Mario Del Monaco Belongs
    MARIO DEL MONACONACO – A CRITICAL APPROACH BY DANIELE GODOR, XII 2009 INTRODUCTION Mario del Monaco belongselongs to a group of singers whoho aare sacrosanct to many opera listeners.listene Too impressive are the existingexisti documents of his interpretationsations of Otello (no other tenor hasas momore recordings of the role of Otello than Del Monaco who claimed to haveha sung to role 427 times1), Radamdames, Cavaradossi, Samson, Don Josésé and so on. His technique is seenn as the non-plus-ultra by many singersgers aand fans: almost indefatigable – comparable to Lauritz Melchiorlchior in this regard –, with a solid twoo octaveocta register and capable of produciroducing beautiful, virile and ringing sound of great volume. His most importmportant teacher, Arturo Melocchi,, finallyfina became famous throughh DDel Monaco’s fame, and a new schoolscho was born: the so-called Melocchialocchians worked with the techniqueique of Melocchi and the bonus of the mostm well-established exponent of his technique – Mario del Monaco.naco. Del Monaco, the “Otello of the century”” and “the Verdi tenor” (Giancarlo del Monaco)2 is – as tthese attributes suggest – a singer almost above reproach and those critics, who pointed out someme of his shortcomings, were few. In the New York Times, the famous critic Olin Downes dubbed del MonacoM “the tenor of tenors” after del Monacoonaco’s debut as Andrea Chenier in New York.3 Forr manmany tenors, del Monaco was the great idoll and founder of a new tradition: On his CD issued by the Legato label, Lando Bartolini claims to bee a sinsinger “in the tradition of del Monaco”, and even Fabioabio ArmilA iato, who has a totally different type of voice,voi enjoys when his singing is put down to the “tradititradition of del Monaco”.4 Rodolfo Celletti however,wever, and in spite of his praise for Del Monaco’s “oddodd elelectrifying bit of phrasing”, recognized in DelDel MMonaco one of the 1 Chronologies suggest a much lower amount of performances.

Será con la representación de Fidelio con la que alcanzaremos esta mítica cifra que nos llena de orgullo. Una efeméride singular que celebraremos durante toda esta temporada con distintas actividades. Con esta celebración latente, nuestras aspiraciones continúan creciendo. Así, en este vórtice urbanístico, social, deportivo y cultural que se está consolidando en nuestra villa, ABAO se marca el objetivo de conseguir hacer de Bilbao una verdadera ciudad europea de la ópera. Se trata de un propósito de envergadura, considerando el modelo de colaboración público-privada que nos caracteriza y que es tan poco frecuente en el mundo de la lírica, pero que cuenta con sólidos cimientos y méritos para ello. Cada vez son más nuestros vecinos europeos que así lo perciben. En el apartado artístico tendremos una programación equilibrada y disfrutaremos de títulos representativos de las escuelas italiana, francesa y alemana. Dos óperas muy conocidas y representadas como La bohème y Les pêcheurs de perles pondrán inicio y fin a la temporada.

    ELISABETH SCHU}~.NN ON THE ART OF SONG INTERPRETATION: MOZART: Das Veilchen; SCHLiF::rr: Lachen unc~ weinen; BRAHMS: Vergebliches Standchen; STRAUSS: Morgen; SCHUBERT: Die Forelle; WOLF: Mausfallen-Spruchlein; In dem Schetteil°meiner Locken (with Ernest Lush, piano) (1950). Pre­ ceded by MOZART: Il Re pastore--L'amero sero costante; Alleluia (with BBC Symphony; Sir Henry Wood, conductor, 8 September 1936). IGI 274 (Educational Media Association, P. 0. Box 921, Berkeley, California 94701) These lectures have been around before as EJS 328. Schumann opens with some general remarks on singing and teaching in rather quaint but perfectly clear and understandable English. She sings each song through, then offers a few points on interpretation. She places strong emphasis on the importance of the words. There are points about the art of coloring the voice, about breath control and vowel sounds. In Morgen, she says, the singer must be "singing" mentally from the beginning of the prelude, so that when she comes in she is already with it. One remembers her as one of the few singers who really did this. Also in this song, she speaks of the importance of counting the rests in the final lines. Her voice in 1950 was by no means what it had been, but some of the old sparkle was still there, even when the going was not easy. She concludes her talk with encouragement to the young singer - don't worry - have confidence. The lecture is preceded by the Re pastore aria and the Alleluia in a public performance, complete with tumultuous applause. L'amero is less fresh vocally than in her earlier commercial recording; the old radiance is there in the upper voice, but the bottom is rather weak.

Opera 1920 - 1950 Toscanini, La Scala e altre rarità d’opera 1. Iris Adami Corradetti (Milano 1904 - Padova 1998) Due lunghe lettere autografe firmate, del rinomato soprano, figlia d'arte (la madre era il soprano Bice Adami e il padre il baritono Ferruccio Corradetti), grande interprete di Madama Butterfly (della quale fu per vari anni la protagonista ufficiale della Scala) e maestra di Katia Ricciarelli, su questioni La prima a Jenner Mataloni: Pesaro, 12 (senza ind. di anno ma 1942) "Mi risulta che vi sia spiaciuto ch'io abbia cantato la Butterfly al Lirico e non vi abbia telefonato almeno per chiedervi in merito a una eventualità scaligera. In fondo mi fa piacere perché vedo che non sono completamente dimenticata. Ma vi scordate che nel maggio scorso, mi avete detto che nella prossima stagione scaligera avreste dato Butterfly all'Albanese...".
