    CVNC: An Online Arts Journal in North Carolina http://cvnc.org/articleprint.cfm?articleid=5140 (http://cvnc.org) EARLY MUSIC REVIEW Philippe Jaroussky & Apollo's Fire Light up the Sky for Duke Performances By John W. Lambert (author.cfm?authorId=20) October 26, 2011 - Durham, NC: Even as the historically-informed performance movement has matured, countertenors remain vocal oddities. They're basically our non-surgical answers to the castrati, the last of whom seems to have been Alessandro Moreschi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Moreschi), whose few recordings give pale hints of the grandeur of an artistic era that is gone forever. (Hear his recording of the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria" here (http://www.archive.org/details /AlessandroMoreschi).) Starting with Alfred Deller, countertenors have gradually displaced the use of altos (or outright transpositions) in music composed for (altered) male sopranos or mezzo-sopranos. Among the great ones since Deller (who sang a recital at St. Mary's in the '50s) have been James Bowman, René Jacobs, and David Daniels (who was born in Spartanburg). To that short list one must now add Philippe Jaroussky (http://www.philippejaroussky.fr/), the brilliant young French artist who made his area debut in a concert presented by Duke Performances (http://dukeperformances.duke.edu/) in Reynolds Industries Theater. Jaroussky is the real thing, the genuine article, a singer whose vocal qualities include the finest (/media/photologue/photos/DukePer- attributes of his best predecessors and virtually none of their shortcomings. Here’s a voice that is even, flexible, warm, 102611.jpg) Simon Fowler of ample size, and with never a hint of falsetto in the traditional sense.

  • Alcina Rediviva. Transformations of an Enchantress in Early Librettos«
    !" LIR.JOURNAL.11(19) """""""""""""""! " Dag Hedman, »Alcina rediviva. Transformations of an Enchantress in Early Librettos« " ABSTRACT """"""""""""""""""""""" The aim of this study is to follow the transformations in eighteen librettos of the enchantress Alcina from Ludovico Ari- osto’s popular chivalric epic Orlando furioso (1516–1532). The librettos used were printed in Austria, France, Great Britain and Italy 1609–1782. The texts encompass different genres like ballets, drami/drammi per musica and feste teatrali. There are several reasons for the popularity of Alcina in the theatre of the Baroque Age, among which are her contrasting moods and the possibility of spectacular scenic effects due to the frequent occurrence of magic. The study shows that whereas there is an impressive variety in the librettists’ approach to Alcina’s personality and the plots in which she is involved, there is no clear development of the topic. " Dag Hedman is a Professor of Literature at the Depart- ment of Literature, History of Ideas and Religion, University of Gothenburg. " Keywords: Alcina – sorceress – character development – opera heroine typology – early music drama – libretto " http://lir.gu.se/LIRJ """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""! lir.j.11(19) 66 !" Dag Hedman """" """""""""""""""""! !" ALCINA REDIVIVA. Transformations of an Enchantress in Early Librettos """""""""! !" According to Lorenzo Bianconi and Thomas Walker, Publius Ovidius Naso’s (43 B.C–17/18 A.D.) role as one of the main sources of inspiration for the earliest Italian librettists was soon taken over by Ludovico Ariosto (1474–1533) and Torquato Tasso (1544–1595), who in their turn were replaced in the middle of the seventeenth century by historical sources. A few Ariostan librettos were written in France in the 1680s, however, and soon Ariosto had a revival in Italy, which lasted a bit into the eighteenth century.1 This development, outlined by Bianconi and Walker, has been challenged by David J.

Beams Handel’s Oreste in Bremen, May 2015 Evil Personified Shortly after the final Agrippina at the Handel Festival in Floridante, Ottone, Tamerlano, Riccardo Primo, Siroe, Göttingen, I was able to catch a performance of Handel’s Lotario, Partenope, Sosarme, Terpsichore, and Arianna 1734 pasticcio Oreste at the Theater am Goetheplatz in in Creta (revived shortly before Oreste.) The miracle is Bremen, a fast two-hour train ride north. The unsettling not just the resulting homogeneity of this new opera, but and powerful production of this rarely performed work, how highly effective these numbers are in their new the first of Handel’s only three so-called “pasticcio context, as, for example, in the closing minor key duet of operas,” was more than worth the trip, especially given Act II when Oreste and his wife Ermione bid a moving its relatively infrequent appearances on stage. Indeed farewell, written for a similar context in Floridante. after the successful short run of three performances in 1734 at the newly-opened Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, it vanished from the stage for almost two-and-a-half centuries until it was performed again in 1988 in Bad Lauchstädt, near Handel’s birthplace in Halle, as part of the 37th Handel Festival. I had heard the work just once, shortly afterwards in 2003, at the Juilliard Opera Center in New York, which was presenting the long-delayed American premiere. Although a pasticcio, this is no second-rate work; there is no falling off in quality of music.

The following year I witnessed a blackly so-called “pasticcio operas,” is a piece of relative rarity, comic, blood-splattered production by Covent Garden’s in spite of a plethora of first-rate music.
