UNITEL and CLASSICA present MODEST MUSORGSKY KHOVANSHCHINA MODEST MUSORGSKY KHOVANSHCHINA ne of the great talents of Modest Musorgsky (1839–1881) was his unique Oability to transpose words, psychological states and even physical move- ments into music. And even if he left his opera “Khovanshchina“ (The Khovan- sky Affair) incomplete and unorchestrated, the sheer theatricality of its musical text reveals the presence of a work that begs for a stage production. The first completion and orchestration was made by Musorgsky‘s contemporary Rimsky- Korsakov, but the more slender, powerful, raw orchestration made by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1960 is the one preferred today, and the version chosen by Kent Nagano for the Munich production recorded here. The plot is a darkly shimmering panorama of ruthless Music by Modest Musorgsky power plays, intrigues and bloodshed in late 17th-century Russia. A nation torn by inner strife, with various factions Conductor Kent Nagano struggling for power at court: the followers of Prince Ivan Orchestra Bayerisches Staatsorchester Khovansky, the leader of the Streltsys (musketeers), and Ivan Khovansky Paata Burchuladze those of Prince Golitsin, faithful to the tsar. Add to this the Andrey Khovansky Klaus Florian Vogt influence of various religious groups, and the action comes Vasily Golitsin John Daszak frighteningly close to mirroring the present-day situation in Boyar Shaklovity Valery Alexejev more than one country. With his stripped-down sets and Dosifey Anatoly Kotscherga historicizing costumes, director Dmitri Tcherniakov, one of Marfa Doris Soffel the new voices of contemporary Russian theater, throws a Old Believers Helena Jungwirth bridge to the political present. The historical pessimism of the Lana Kos opera, says Tcherniakov, “is legitimated by Russian history Anaik Morel and Russian life. Basically, nothing has changed.“ The Clerk Ulrich Reß Kent Nagano superbly masters the challenges Emma Camilla Nylund presented by this score, shapes the dynamics with subtle Varsonofyev Marc Pujol intensity, and casts the score in a mellow glow.

Features May 2013 — Vol. 77, No. 11 (http://www.operanews.org/Opera_News_Magazine/2013/5/May_2013.html) The Lion Speaks For decades, Ferruccio Furlanetto has exemplified the highest performing standard in opera. As he prepares to sing Filippo in Covent Garden's Don Carlo, the Italian bass speaks to BARRY SINGER about maintaining that standard — and where he fears the opera world is heading.

"When we started — when I started — I was in a position to learn daily from these amazing directors, from these amazing conductors. It was splendid. And a young kid could really grow and learn and gain a clear idea of each new role, and that role was then marked forever." Epic vocal brilliance and an eloquent sensitivity to character have marked virtually every role undertaken by this esteemed bass from Sacile, Italy, over a thirty-nine-year professional career.

Blake Library’s catalog, and click on citations to see full articles.) BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin Left His Opera Prince Igor
Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 4: Russian School by Stephen Barber Borodin left his opera Prince Igor unfinished and it was completed from sketches and memory by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov. A scene by scene account of their contributions is available here. (Rimsky-Korsakov’s role in making performing editions of the work of his compatriots cannot be overestimated, though he freely recomposed and rearranged in a way even the boldest of modern scholars would hesitate to do.) This is the standard version, with recordings by Oskar Danon (Eloquence) and Mark Ermler (Melodiya) among others. Some other recordings omit the third act, which is mostly by Glazunov. Valery Gergiev recorded a new reconstruction (Philips). This is based on a fresh examination of all the sources; it takes into account an unpublished vocal score by Pavel Lamm, which reverses the order of the first two acts and has some other changes, and it also has additional material by Yuri Faliek. Another new edition, by Dmitri Tcherniakov and the conductor Gianandrea Noseda, was mounted and recorded by the Metropolitan opera (DG DVD). Borodin also did not complete his third symphony, or rather, he did not write it all down. Two movements were reconstructed by Glazunov, partly from memory. There are numerous recordings, including Loris Tjeknavorian (RCA) and Neeme Järvi (DG). Mussorgsky worked on many operatic projects but completed few of them. He left two versions of Boris Godunov: the 1869 original and his revision of 1872, with extra scenes but also cuts. In practice, most productions are conflated, drawing on both versions, making cuts, moving scenes and otherwise reorganizing the work.
