  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Debussy's Pelléas Et Mélisande
    Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore Pelléas et Mélisande is a strange, haunting work, typical of the Symbolist movement in that it hints at truths, desires and aspirations just out of reach, yet allied to a longing for transcendence is a tragic, self-destructive element whereby everybody suffers and comes to grief or, as in the case of the lovers, even dies - yet frequent references to fate and Arkel’s ascribing that doleful outcome to ineluctable destiny, rather than human weakness or failing, suggest that they are drawn, powerless, to destruction like moths to the flame. The central enigma of Mélisande’s origin and identity is never revealed; that riddle is reflected in the wispy, amorphous property of the music itself, just as the text, adapted from Maeterlinck’s play, is vague and allusive, rarely open or direct in its expression of the characters’ velleities. The opera was highly innovative and controversial, a gateway to a new style of modern music which discarded and re-invented operatic conventions in a manner which is still arresting and, for some, still unapproachable. It is a work full of light and shade, sunlit clearings in gloomy forest, foetid dungeons and sea-breezes skimming the battlements, sparkling fountains, sunsets and brooding storms - all vividly depicted in the score. Any francophone Francophile will delight in the nuances of the parlando text. There is no ensemble or choral element beyond the brief sailors’ “Hoé! Hisse hoé!” offstage and only once do voices briefly intertwine, at the climax of the lovers' final duet.

  • Revue Musicale
    REVUE MUSICALE OPÉRA : La Damnation de Faust, en ballet. Hector Berlioz avait tout juste trente ans quand lui vint l'idée d'écrire plusieurs morceaux d'après la légende dramatique de Faust de Goethe. Au cours de ses nombreux voyages à l'étranger, il les réunit sous le titre de La Damnation de Faust, qui est devenu le chef-d'œuvre de la musique romantique. L'ouvrage fut donné pour la première fois, en opéra de concert, comme un oratorio, dans la salle de l'Opéra-Comique, sous la direction de l'auteur qui avait choisi d'excellents interprètes : Mme Duflot-Maillard (Marguerite) et deux chanteurs réputés à cette époque, le ténor Roger (Faust) et le baryton Hermann-Léon (Méphisto). Puis il présenta son œuvre en Russie, à Saint-Pétersbourg et Riga, en Allemagne à Berlin et enfin à Londres, toujours avec un succès considérable d'auteur, de compositeur et de chef d'orchestre... Les musiciens de ma génération se souviennent des magnifiques exécutions que donna Edouard Colonne de la partition de Berlioz, à ses concerts dominicaux du Châtelet, pendant un quart de siècle ; il avait formé un groupe de chanteurs réputés : Mlle Marcella Prégy en Marguerite, le ténor Emile Cazeneuve dans le rôle de Faust et le baryton Lauwers, vaillant interprète de Méphisto. Chose curieuse, c'est un Kapellmeister d'outre-Rhin, Félix Weingartner, qui en donna pour un gala la première audition, tou• jours de concert, dans la salle de l'Opéra : il avait choisi des interprètes jeunes et ardents : Lucienne Bréval, la plus belle des Marguerite, le ténor Plamoudon, les basses Delmas et Nivette.
