  • 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.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Hibriditeit En Outentisiteit As Kulturele Merkers in Nico Carstens Se Musiek
    LitNet Akademies Jaargang 15, Nommer 3, 2018, ISSN 1995-5928 Hibriditeit en outentisiteit as kulturele merkers in Nico Carstens se musiek Hannes Susanna Louw, Nicol Viljoen en Martina Viljoen Susanna Louw, Nicol Viljoen en Martina Viljoen, Odeion Skool vir Musiek, Universiteit van die Vrystaat Opsomming In populêre Afrikaanse populêre-musiek-joernalistiek is Nico Carstens (1926–2016) as die koning van boeremusiek bestempel. Hierdie benaming het hom nooit aangestaan nie. Aanvanklik het sy komposisies wel op ‘n aanwending van tradisionele boeremusiekidiome berus, en trekke daarvan verskyn steeds in sy latere werk. Dié middele het hy egter vroeg reeds deur ‘n verbeeldingryke versmelting van musikale invloede en style verryk. Die historiese plasing van Carstens se werk dra by tot die kontekstuele verwikkeldheid daarvan. Dit kom tot stand binne ‘n tydperk waarin Afrikanerkultuurpolitiek ―ligter‖ Afrikaanse musieksoorte as óf ―volksvriendelik‖ óf ―volksvreemd‖ sou tipeer en die verspreiding daarvan beheer of beïnvloed het (Van der Merwe 2017:15; Laubscher 2005:313). Ofskoon Carstens se treffers deurentyd kommersieel bemark was, en vir ‘n aansienlike tyd gunstig ingespeel het op Afrikanersentimente, wil ons redeneer dat hibriditeit reeds in sy vroeë komposisies vergestalt is, en dat dié aspek van sy werk nie slegs ‘n kommersiële strategie was nie, maar ‘n doelbewuste vermenging van identiteite en etnisiteite. Hierdeur het hy ‘n eie stem geskep. Na aanleiding van ‘n bespreking van enkele van sy bekendste komposisies wil ons gevolglik aanvoer dat outentieke musikale uitdrukking in Carstens se musiek gestalte gekry het – vanaf sy vroeë albums tot en met latere, ―ernstige‖ multikulturele werk. Dié argumentering word in verband gebring met huidige diskoerse rondom musikale identiteit wat begrippe soos deurdringbaarheid, poreusheid en hibriditeit ondersoek.
