  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal. NB: The indication [DS] refers the reader to sources that are reproduced in the documentation portfolio that accompanies this article.

  • VICTOR DE SABATA Born April 10, 1892 in Trieste; Died December 11, 1967 in Santa Margherita Ligure
    VICTOR DE SABATA Born April 10, 1892 in Trieste; died December 11, 1967 in Santa Margherita Ligure La Notte di Plàton (“Plato’s Night”) (1923) PREMIERE OF WORK: Rome, November 25, 1923 Augusteo Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia Victor de Sabata, conductor APPROXIMATE DURATION: 21 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: two piccolos, three flutes, three oboes, English horn, three clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, celesta, two harps and strings The Italian conductor Victor de Sabata was extremely important to the artistic excellence of the Pittsburgh Symphony during a period when it had no Music Director (1948-1952). During those seasons, de Sabata conducted the PSO four to six weeks annually. His appearances were the high point of each year, breaking box office records and inspiring the orchestra to electrifying performances. Sadly, a heart attack forced him to stop conducting in 1953, but he had bridged the gap between Music Directors Fritz Reiner and William Steinberg. * * * Victor de Sabata was a gifted composer, a virtuoso violinist and pianist and competent performer on most of the orchestral instruments, and a conductor regarded by many as second only to Toscanini among Italian maestros and by some as more than his equal. De Sabata was born in April 1892 in Trieste, where his father was a choir director and voice teacher and his mother a talented amateur musician. Victor, immersed in music as a youngster, started playing piano at four and composed a gavotte for that instrument two years later and an orchestral work when he was twelve.

  • 1. Early Years: Maria Before La Callas 2. Metamorphosis
    ! 1. EARLY YEARS: MARIA BEFORE LA CALLAS Maria Callas was born in New York on 2nd December 1923, the daughter of Greek parents. Her name at birth was Maria Kalogeropoulou. When she was 13 years old, her parents separated. Her mother, who was ambitious for her daughter’s musical talent, took Maria and her elder sister to live in Athens. There Maria made her operatic debut at the age of just 15 and studied with Elvira de Hidalgo, a Spanish soprano who had sung with Enrico Caruso. Maria, an intensely dedicated student, began to develop her extraordinary potential. During the War years in Athens the young soprano sang such demanding operatic roles as Tosca and Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio. In 1945, Maria returned to the USA. She was chosen to sing Turandot for the inauguration of a prestigious new opera company in Chicago, but it went bankrupt before the opening night. Yet fate turned out to be on Maria’s side: she had been spotted by the veteran Italian tenor, Giovanni Zenatello, a talent scout for the opera festival at the Verona Arena. Callas made her Italian debut there in 1947, starring in La Gioconda by Ponchielli. Her conductor, Tullio Serafin, was to become a decisive force in her career. 2. METAMORPHOSIS After Callas’ debut at the Verona Arena, she settled in Italy and married a wealthy businessman, Giovanni Battista Meneghini. Her influential conductor from Verona, Tullio Serafin, became her musical mentor. She began to make her name in grand roles such as Turandot, Aida, Norma – and even Wagner’s Isolde and Brünnhilde – but new doors opened for her in 1949 when, at La Fenice opera house in Venice, she replaced a famous soprano in the delicate, florid role of Elvira in Bellini’s I puritani.

  • V~Ittor De Sabat·A
    - ·- ·-- -- - - -- -- - - - - --, • -PASC 404 v~ ittor de Sabat·a The Complete Berlin Philharmonic Recordings At about rhe time these Berlin recordings were made, other parallels were being proposed. One of the city's most respected critics, Heinrich Strobel, wrote a review of the 30-year-old Herbert von Karajan's debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in which he compared him to de Sabata: 'the rhythmic inexorability, the incredible musical energy, and the intensity of the melodic shaping'. T hat de Sabata had these quali ties in special measure is burningly cl ear from these recordings. De Sabata's account of the Kodaly is thrilling, superior to the fine immediate post-war LPO version under the young Georg Sol ti. And the Respighi is, quite simply, sensational: defini tive. I once saw Feste roVJane (1928) described as 'an entirely indefensible piece': a somewhat puritanical judgement, I would suggest. The piece blazes with colour and the third movement, 'October', has in it a delightful hunting sequence, superbly realized here by the Berlin horns. In all these performances, the string playing is phenomenal, as is de Sabata's way of etching phrasing and dynamics into the mind and imagination, The first 18 bars of the Tristan 1111d Isolde Prelude are a locus classicus of this, the climax of the Liebestod overwhelming in its intensity .. RO, Gram ophone, October 1999 (excerpts from review of Pearl CD reiss11e) At the time Victor de Sabata made these recordings, his discography was limited to eight sides of mainly short works recorded with an Italian radio orchestra in 1933. This was disproportionate to his rising international reputation as a conductor, both in the opera house (as director of La Scala since 1930 and a frequent guest at the theatres of Vienna and Berlin) and as an interpreter of the symphonic repertoire.

  • Comunicato Stampa Del 27 Novembre 2020
    Associazione di cultura musicale Victor de Sabata GETHSEMANI, POEMA CONTEMPLATIVO DI VICTOR DE SABATA, FRA LE « RIFLESSIONI FILOSOFICHE » DELLA FILARMONICA DI MONTECARLO IL 29 NOVEMBRE 2020 Il poema contemplativo di Victor de Sabata Gethsemani verrà trasmesso in diretta audio dall’Auditorium Rainier III di Montecarlo il 29 novembre alle ore 18 ( https://youtu.be/xGMdMR_6xiI ) in apertura del concerto « Riflessioni filosofiche » dell’Orchestra filarmonica di Montecarlo diretta da Kazuki Yamada. Dopo aver inaugurato la scorsa stagione sinfonica con il primo poema sinfonico di de Sabata, Juventus, il direttore artistico e musicale della Filarmonica di Montecarlo torna quindi sulla figura di Victor de Sabata compositore mettendo in luce un lato del direttore triestino che pochi conoscono. All’inizio della sua carriera sul podio (fra cui oltre dieci anni a Montecarlo come direttore stabile dell’orchestra) de Sabata era infatti già molto apprezzato come compositore e direttori quali Antonio Guarnieri, Walter Damrosch, Richard Strauss e Arturo Toscanini eseguivano spesso i suoi lavori in Europa e in America. Nonostante il successo di pubblico e di critica, però, de Sabata smise progressivamente di comporre a causa del pieno sviluppo della propria carriera direttoriale. Le composizioni sinfoniche di de Sabata sono state riscoperte negli ultimi anni e riproposte in concerto da Lorin Maazel, Eliahu Inbal, Aldo Ceccato, Riccardo Chailly, Andris Poga, Kazuki Yamada e registrate da Aldo Ceccato con la London Symphony Orchestra (i tre Poemi sinfonici) e l'Orchestra Filarmonica di Malaga (gli affreschi musicali per il Mercante di Venezia), da Francesco Maria Colombo con l'Orchestra Sinfonica Verdi di Milano (il balletto Le Mille e una notte) e da Riccardo Chailly con la Gewandhausorchester di Lipsia (la Suite da Le Mille e una notte).

  • Toscanini VII, 1937-1942
    Toscanini VII, 1937-1942: NBC, London, Netherlands, Lucerne, Buenos Aires, Philadelphia We now return to our regularly scheduled program, and with it will come my first detailed analyses of Toscanini’s style in various music because, for once, we have a number of complete performances by alternate orchestras to compare. This is paramount because it shows quite clear- ly that, although he had a uniform approach to music and insisted on both technical perfection and emotional commitment from his orchestras, he did not, as Stokowski or Furtwängler did, impose a specific sound on his orchestras. Although he insisted on uniform bowing in the case of the Philadelphia Orchestra, for instance, one can still discern the classic Philadelphia Orchestra sound, despite its being “neatened up” to meet his standards. In the case of the BBC Symphony, for instance, the sound he elicited from them was not far removed from the sound that Adrian Boult got out of them, in part because Boult himself preferred a lean, clean sound as did Tosca- nini. We shall also see that, for better or worse, the various guest conductors of the NBC Sym- phony Orchestra did not get vastly improved sound result out of them, not even that wizard of orchestral sound, Leopold Stokowki, because the sound profile of the orchestra was neither warm in timbre nor fluid in phrasing. Toscanini’s agreement to come back to New York to head an orchestra created (pretty much) for him is still shrouded in mystery. All we know for certain is that Samuel Chotzinoff, representing David Sarnoff and RCA, went to see him in Italy and made him the offer, and that he first turned it down.
