  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

    reprints Cleveland Orchestra: fifteen minutes with mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill by Daniel Hathaway Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill will be featured in Hector Berlioz’s song cycle Les nuits d’été this weekend at Severance Hall with guest conductor Robin Ticciati and The Cleveland Orchestra. Cargill and Ticciati have recorded the Berlioz with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, an album that received critical acclaim when it was released in April 2013. We spoke with the affable mezzo by telephone in her dressing room at Severance Hall on Tuesday morning, where she was listening in on a rehearsal of Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony. Daniel Hathaway: Welcome to Cleveland! Is this your first visit to our fair city? Karen Cargill: It is indeed, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here with this orchestra. It’s been a dream of mine to sing with them, and I’m so excited this week, I really, truly am. I’ve actually come in this morning just to listen to the Schumann rehearsal because I want to hear just how fabulous they are before I work with them. DH: Congratulations on the critical response to your Berlioz recording with Robin Ticciati. KC: Thank you. It was an absolute joy to record — a real labor of love for both of us. It was a long dream of ours to make that work and I’m so delighted that people have enjoyed it. DH: I’m sure it’s also provided some wonderful rehearsal time for the upcoming concert. KC: Indeed it has. We know the songs so intimately now.
