Tulane • 91.5 FM • NEw ORLEANs AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1991 First Week Features Voices During the first week of our schedule, vocal works will be featured. The Twenti­ eth-Century Show starts on Sunday, August 11, from 7 to 11 p.m., with Ferenc Farkas's Aspirationes Principis, the Rak6czi Cantata (Hungaroton SLPX 12704). Named for a Hungarian patriot who led a war for independence, this heartfelt work for tenor, baritone, and orchestra was written in the 1970's, toward the end of an era of great trouble in Eastern Europe. Morning Classics, from 6 to 8 a.m., will start Monday, August 12, with Mary Watkins, who has selected the early Baroque Altri Canti di Marte of Claudio Monteverdi (Erato ECD 88108). On Tuesday, the 13th, Anitha Tummala will feature a work that has been an inspiration to gen­ erations of freedom lovers, Ludwig van Beethoven's "Chorus of Prisoners" from the opera Fidelio (EMI CDC 7 49828 2). Lenny Bertrand's Wednesday, August 14, show will include I Hear an Army (CRI SD 294), for the unusual combination of soprano and string quartet. The composer is neo-romantic David Del Tredici. From early in his career (1964), the music is not so mellow as the later works that have established the composer's popularity. For Thursday, the 15th, Jessica An­ derson will feature "Enchanting Land" from L'Africaine by Giocomo Meyer beer. Although no longer much in fashion, the demanding bel canto aria is done to a turn by tenor Placido Domingo (EMI CDC 7 49811 2). Mezzo Frederica von Stade brings equal accomplishment to Claude Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis, which Gina Forsyth will feature Friday (CBS MK 39023). (Gina hosts August 16 and 30 and September 13. Stefan Schoellman hosts Fridays August 23 and September 6.) Anitha concludes the series Saturday, August 17, with legendary soprano Leontyne Price's performance of "There Is a Realm" from Ariadne auf Naxos by Richard Strauss (RCA Victor 60398-2-RG). Wednesday·s String Quartets "The Schubert CD On Wednesday mornings, from 6 to 8 a.m., Lenny Bertrand will mostly feature masterpieces of the Romantic string quartet literature.

  • Debussy's Pelléas Et Mélisande

    Debussy's Pelléas Et Mélisande

    Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore Pelléas et Mélisande is a strange, haunting work, typical of the Symbolist movement in that it hints at truths, desires and aspirations just out of reach, yet allied to a longing for transcendence is a tragic, self-destructive element whereby everybody suffers and comes to grief or, as in the case of the lovers, even dies - yet frequent references to fate and Arkel’s ascribing that doleful outcome to ineluctable destiny, rather than human weakness or failing, suggest that they are drawn, powerless, to destruction like moths to the flame. The central enigma of Mélisande’s origin and identity is never revealed; that riddle is reflected in the wispy, amorphous property of the music itself, just as the text, adapted from Maeterlinck’s play, is vague and allusive, rarely open or direct in its expression of the characters’ velleities. The opera was highly innovative and controversial, a gateway to a new style of modern music which discarded and re-invented operatic conventions in a manner which is still arresting and, for some, still unapproachable. It is a work full of light and shade, sunlit clearings in gloomy forest, foetid dungeons and sea-breezes skimming the battlements, sparkling fountains, sunsets and brooding storms - all vividly depicted in the score. Any francophone Francophile will delight in the nuances of the parlando text. There is no ensemble or choral element beyond the brief sailors’ “Hoé! Hisse hoé!” offstage and only once do voices briefly intertwine, at the climax of the lovers' final duet.

  • Academic Ballet: a National and Transnational Perspective

    Academic Ballet: a National and Transnational Perspective

    Dr. Svebor Sečak Assistant Professor, AMEU ACADEMIC BALLET: A NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACT Drawing on historical perspectives, the paper follows the main diachronic line of world ballet history, and from a broad perspective focuses on Slovenia and the concept of national ensembles that were dominant in 20th-century Europe. A real challenge for national companies emerges at the turn of the century, when national companies increasingly become transnational. The repertoire becomes eclectic, and the new readings of canonical works are susceptible to the concept of intertextuality, hybridisation of genres and co-mixing of cultural influences. The academic, scientific approach has a significant role in following this vivid and vibrant process in ballet art. It studies dance art from numerous analytical perspectives that sur- pass the acquiring of technical dancing skills and the factual history of dance but rather involve semiotics, anthropological, philosophical, psychoanalytical, socio-political and feminist and gender perspectives, as well as kinesiology, anatomy and physiology in the context of safe practice. In the previous academic year, Slovenia acquired its dance academy which offers studying and teaching of ballet on an entirely new lev- el. It produces not only future professionals, but indirectly facilitates the education of a wider population relating to the significance of dance for the culture of the 21st century. It will potentially secure a double result: the preservation of the autochthonic culture and tradition and the opening up to new tendencies and philosophies as an integrative factor within Europe and worldwide. Key words: ballet, dance academy, dance education, transnationality INTRODUCTION This text recognises the dichotomy between the concept of the so-called national ballet styles, scho- ols and companies and their international character that traverses into a fully transnational mode.

  • Milko Kelemen: Life and Selected Works for Violoncello

    Milko Kelemen: Life and Selected Works for Violoncello

    MILKO KELEMEN: LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR VIOLONCELLO by JOSIP PETRAČ (Under the Direction of David Starkweather) ABSTRACT Milko Kelemen (b. 1924) is one of the most extraordinary Croatian composers of the post-World War II era. He has received numerous prestigious awards for his work, while his compositions are published by major companies, including Schott, Universal, Peters, and Hans Sikorski editions. His music is little studied or known internationally. This paper examines this innovative, avant-garde musician and sheds light both on Kelemen’s life and his compositional technique. The latter is examined in four compositions featuring cello as the main subject: Changeant (1968), Drammatico (1983), Requiem for Sarajevo (1994), and Musica Amorosa (2004). The examination of these compositions is placed in a biographical context which reveals how Kelemen’s keen political and cultural interests influenced his development as a composer. In particular, this document looks at Kelemen’s role as one of the founders, and the first president, of the Zagreb Music Biennale Festival, an event known for its ground-breaking work in bringing together artists and composers from the eastern and western blocs during the Cold War, as well as revitalising Croatia’s old-fashioned and provincial cultural scene. This festival of avant-garde music has been running since 1961.

    TRIO GASPARD Jonian Ilias Kadesha Violin Vashti Hunter Cello Nicholas Rimmer Piano "A truly refreshing performance! Richly coloured, honest, full of joy and with good agogics! This trio belongs to another league!" Ensemble Magazine Founded in 2010, Trio Gaspard are one of the most sought- after piano trios of their generation, praised for their unique and fresh approach to the score. Trio Gaspard are regularly invited to perform at major international concert halls, such as Wigmore Hall, Berlin Philharmonie, Essen Philharmonie, Grafenegg Castle Austria, Salle Molière Lyon, NDR Rolf- Liebermann Hall, Hamburg and Shanghai Symphony Hall as well as making appearances at festivals such as Heidelberger Frühling, Mantua Chamber Music Festival, Boswiler Sommer and PODIUM Festival Esslingen. Important engagements over the past year include recitals in Belfast, Trieste, Naples, Bern, Heidelberg, Grafenegg Festspiele as well as at Berlin’s ‘Pierre Boulez’ Saal. A highlight of 2018 was performing Beethoven triple concerto twice in Switzerland under the baton of eminent musician and conductor, Gabor Takács-Nagy. Trio Gaspard are winners of three major international competitions since their inception. They won first prizes and special prizes at the International Joseph Joachim Chamber Music Competition in Weimar, the 5th International Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna and the 17th International Chamber Music Competition in Illzach, France. In 2012 they were awarded the “Wiener Klassik” Preis der Stadt Baden in Austria. As well as exploring and championing the traditional piano trio repertoire, Trio Gaspard works regularly with contemporary composers and is keen to discover seldom-played masterpieces. In 2017, they performed a commission from Irish composer Gareth Williams at the Belfast Music Society, broadcasted live by the BBC.
