    TRISTAN UND MATHILDE Inspiration – Werk – Rezeption Sonderausstellung 29. 11. 2014 bis 11. 01. 2015 Stadtschloss Eisenach 2 / 3 Nicolaus J. Oesterlein (1841–1898), Sammler und Initiator der Sammlung DIE EISENACHER RICHARD-WAGNER-SAMMLUNG In der Reuter-Villa am Fuße der Wartburg schlummern manch vergessene Schätze: Das Abbild einer römischen Villa beherbergt die zweitgrößte Richard-Wagner-Sammlung der Welt. Den Grundstein hierfür legte der glühende Wagner-Verehrer Nicolaus J. Oesterlein (1841–1898) mit einer akribisch angelegten Sammlung von ca. 25.000 Objekten – darunter etwa 200 Handschriften und Originalbriefe Wagners, 700 Theaterzettel, 1000 Graphiken und Fotos, 15.000 Zeitungsausschnitte, handgeschriebene Partituren. Das Herzstück der Sammlung ist eine über 5.500 Bücher umfassende Bibliothek, die neben sämtlichen Wer- ken des Komponisten den fast lückenlosen Bestand der Wagner-Sekundärliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts enthält. Das Archivmaterial stellt nicht nur einen umfassenden Zugang zu Wagners kompositori- schem und literarischem Schaffen dar, sondern ebenso zu musikästhetischen, philoso- phischen, kulturgeschichtlichen und soziopolitischen Kontroversen des späten 19. Jahr- hunderts. Oesterleins Sammlung kann somit als ein Spiegelbild der Wagner-Rezeption gedeutet werden. Die Sonderausstellung »Tristan und Mathilde. Inspiration – Werk – Rezeption« rückt einige der exquisiten Exemplare aus der Sammlung erstmals wieder in die Öffentlichkeit, die auf diese Weise mit diesem unschätzbaren Kulturgut konfrontiert werden soll. Wie die Sammlung nach Eisenach kam In den 1870er Jahren begann Nicolaus J. Oesterlein mit einem enormen finanziellen Auf- wand und einer fast manischen Akribie alles zu sammeln, was mit dem Komponisten in Verbindung stand. 1887 eröffnete Oesterlein ein Privatmuseum in Wien – in den 1890er Jahren brachte er seinen vierbändigen Katalog heraus. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt umfasste seine Sammlung – nach eigenen Angaben – ca.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    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.

    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company

    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

    22 March 2020 Lotte Lehmann's Art 2 2.Iba

    CHAPTER 1 Lehmann Bio There are many biographies of Lotte Lehmann (1888–1976) long and short, so I thought for this unconventional book of a singer’s artwork, the obituary that appeared in the New York Times would be an interesting alternative. You’ll see some corrections. The accompanying photos show her in her maturity and old age, as well as ones that apply to the words in the story of her life. 21 Lotte Lehmann, one of the most illustrious operatic sopranos and lieder singers of her day, died in her sleep yesterday at her home in Santa Barbara, Calif. She was 88 years old and had been in failing health for several months. Mme.
