ARSC New York Chapter MARCH 2014 Meeting
ARSC New York Chapter MARCH 2014 Meeting !!NOTE CHANGE OF DATE!! 7 P. M. Thursday, 3/27/14 at the CUNY Sonic Arts Center West 140th Street & Convent Avenue, New York or, enter at 138th Street off Convent Avenue Shepard Hall (the Gothic building) – Recital Hall (Room 95, Basement level) An elevator is located in the center of the building ARSCNY is again pleased to present “The Two Gary’s” (Galo and Thalheimer, respectively) …reprising their gala presentations of recordings by Lauritz Melchior (“The Great Dane: Lauritz Melchior – A 40th Anniversary Tribute”) and German singers in Verdi roles. Both are expanded versions of presentations given at the ARSC national conference in Kansas City, MO in May 2013. Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior (1890-1973) was arguably the greatest Wagnerian tenor in the history of that species. Melchior began his career as a baritone, making his operatic debut as Sivlio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci at the Royal Opera, Copenhagen in 1913. On the advice of Mme. Charles Cahier, Melchior restudied as a tenor with Vilhelm Herold, and made a second debut in 1918 in the title role of Wagner’s Tannhäuser. After further studies with Anna Bahr-Mildenburg, Melchior began his international career at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1924 as Siegmund in Wagner’s Die Walküre, followed by a Bayreuth debut later that year, and a Metropolitan Opera debut in 1926. Melchior combined a voice of unrivalled power with a true bel canto production, allowing him to remain virtually unchallenged in the heldentenor repertoire until his retirement from the stage in 1950. -
Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails. -

___________________________________________________________________________ 2 Musikstunde Mittwoch, den 17. August 2011 Mit Susanne Herzog Auf den Leib geschrieben: Opern und Sinfonik für die Staatskapelle Dresden „Dieses Orchester ist eine anspruchsvolle Braut, die weiß, was sie will.“ – sagt Christian Thielemann, ab 2012 neuer Chef der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden. Und schwärmt weiter: „Sie haben Mendelsohnsche Leichtigkeit, Wagnerische Opulenz und Strausssche Brillanz.“ 0’17 1. Musik Franz Lehar Ausschnitt aus: Die lustige Witwe <8> aufblenden bei 2’45 rausgehen bei 4’20 [frei 1’35] Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden Christian Thielemann, Ltg. Titel CD: New Year’s Eve Concert DG, 00289 477 9540, LC 0173 WDR 5183 032 Franz Léhar: ein Ausschnitt aus einem Tanzduett aus „Der Lustigen Witwe“. Gespielt von der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden mit ihrem zukünftigen Chef Christian Thielemann beim letzten Sylvesterkonzert. „Wie Glanz von altem Gold“ so beschrieb Herbert von Karajan den Klang der Kapelle. Und die blickt inzwischen auf eine lange Geschichte zurück: 1548 wurde sie durch Kurfürst Moritz von Sachsen gegründet. Zahlreiche berühmte Kapellmeister standen seitdem am Pult: viele von ihnen komponierten auch für ihr Orchester: man denke an Carl Maria von Weber, Richard Wagner und Richard Strauss. Wenngleich der letzte zwar ein hervorragender Dirigent war, seine Werke für die Dresdner aber dem Dirigenten Ernst von Schuch überließ. Der war 42 Jahre lang Chef der Kapelle. Heute also hier in der SWR 2 Musikstunde die Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden und ihre Komponisten im Fokus. 2 3 Auch wenn der Kapelle immer noch der Ruf des Strauss-Orchesters vorauseilt – immerhin fanden neun Uraufführungen von Strauss Opern mit der Staatskapelle Dresden statt: ja dennoch: ihre glanzvolle Zeit begann wesentlich früher. -

Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden. -

***** ***** ***** Newsletter 315 June/July
The Richard Wagner Society of South Australia Inc. NEWSLETTER 315 JUNE/JULY 2021 Patron: Deborah Humble We hope our members are all keeping safe, healthy and warm? The situation can change within a day, but we expect that the Society’s next event, the Brian Coghlan Memorial Lecture, will be held on the evening of Monday 9 August at 7.30 pm. in the Clayton Wesley Memorial Church at Beulah Park. For this year’s lecture, James Koehne is to speak on: The Grand Opéra of Paris: The Lost Legacy of the Nineteenth Century Spectacular. We are inviting other groups to this lecture, and some have already promoted it quite widely. Clayton Church, a new venue for the Society, is quite large, but bookings are still required. See P. 2 for details. ***** Wagner’s birthday celebration with a screening of Der Rosenkavalier and lunch at Living Choice Fullarton proved very popular indeed. See the review of that on P.3, along with a couple of other reports. ***** We were hoping to hold at least one other major event later this year, but getting it organised has proved very difficult. However, the Society is obliged to have an Annual General Meeting each year, a pre-Christmas lunch is always popular, and there are plans for a casual event in warmer weather. The dates for these will be announced later. Also, while it’s impossible to be certain, Opera Australia’s Brisbane Ring Cycle will probably still be going ahead in October and November. ***** P1: Next events P4: Tributes P2: Invitation to The Brian Coghlan P5: Article “The Ringheads”. -
La Fortuna De Maurici Vilomara
LA FORTUNA DE MAURICI VILOMARA Jordi Ribera i Bergós Aquest article es basa en un deis capítols de la meya tesi doctoral L'escenogrof Maurici Vi/amaro, treball que després d'haver-se dut a terme sota la direcció abnegada i pacient de la doctora Mireia Freixa, vaig defensar davant d'un tribunal presidit pel doctor Ricard Salvat, el 22 de gener de 1999, a la Facultat de Geografia i Historia de la Universitat de Barcelona. De fet, jo m'havia decantat, al principi de la nostra tasca d'historiadors de I'art, pel període barroc, amb la realització d'una tesi de Ilicenciatura dedicada als Bibiena a la cort barcelonina de I'arxiduc d'Áustria; pero era conscient que I'escenografia barroca entre nosaltres era quelcom limitat quant a investigació. En canvi, el segle XIX catalá era molt més divers i ric en informació pel que feia a la vida teatral, i ensems, era un terreny gairebé verge. Efectivament, tot i que Soler i Rovirosa ja s'havia comen<;:at a recuperar abans de la Guerra Civil, merces a la monografia de Feliu Elies publicada el 1931, de la resta d'escenografs -del XIX o a cavall d'aquest segle i el xx no se n'havia distingit cap altre amb un estudi aprofundit. El pintor escenograf barceloní Maurici Vilomara iVirgili (1848-1930) havia despertat el meu interes tant pels referents orals i familiars que posseíem com pels testimonis escrits, i aviat em vaig inclinar per ell.Alllarg del meu treball, em vaig proposar d'esclarir quina fou la posició de Vilomara en I'escenografia catalana d'arrel pictorica i bidimensional, caracteritzar la seva personalitat artística no únicament com a esceno grafo sinó també com a artista plastic globalment considerat, i delimitar quines foren les seves aportacions en els diferents generes teatral s del seu temps. -
