  • La Couleur Du Temps – the Colour of Time Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020
    SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli La couleur du temps – The Colour of Time Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821 – 1910) Photo: Uli Weber - Decca Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020 (SF, 30 December 2019) The life of Pauline Viardot-Garcia – singer, musical ambassador of Europe, outstanding pianist and composer – is the focus of the 2020 programme of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. “The uncanny instinct Cecilia Bartoli has for the themes of our times is proven once again by her programme for the 2020 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, which focuses on Pauline Viardot. Orlando Figes has just written a bestseller about this woman. Using Viardot as an example, he describes the importance of art within the idea of Europe,” says Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler. 1 SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli Pauline Viardot not only made a name for herself as a singer, composer and pianist, but her happy marriage with the French theatre manager, author and art critic Louis Viardot furthered her career and enabled her to act as a great patron of the arts. Thus, she made unique efforts to save the autograph of Mozart’s Don Giovanni for posterity. Don Giovanni was among the manuscripts Constanze Mozart had sold to Johann Anton André in Offenbach in 1799. After his death in 1842, his daughter inherited the autograph and offered it to libraries in Vienna, Berlin and London – without success. In 1855 her cousin, the pianist Ernst Pauer, took out an advertisement in the London-based journal Musical World. Thereupon, Pauline Viardot-García bought the manuscript for 180 pounds.

  • Karl Goldmark on Early Recordings Discography of the 78 Rpm Recordings of Goldmark’S Compositions
    SZABÓ, Ferenc János (Institute for Musicology, RCH, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) 1 September, 2017 Carl Goldmark on Early Recordings. Discography of the 78 rpm recordings of Goldmark’s compositions. OTKA/NKFIH K108.306 Ferenc János Szabó Institute for Musicology (Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) Karl Goldmark on Early Recordings Discography of the 78 rpm recordings of Goldmark’s compositions This discography is the first attempt to compile a systematic list of early recordings of Karl Goldmark’s compositions. Up to now, these early recordings were not in the focus of the musicological research. There are only a few Goldmark monographies1 or bibliographies2 and they do not discuss the sound recordings, except the latest one, written by Johannes Hofer, which listed many recordings and their reissues, mainly from the second half of the 20th and the first years of the 21st century.3 Even Goldmark himself did not mention the sound recordings of his works in his memoires.4 The early recordings of Goldmark’s works are mostly unknown, except some famous ones, for example the recordings from Die Königin von Saba made in Vienna after the highly successful revival directed by Gustav Mahler,5 and, of course, the recordings of Enrico Caruso which were reissued many times on LP and CD because of the popularity of the performer. The rest of the recordings are part only of the knowledge of the specialized gramophone disc collectors and opera aficionados who are interested in the recordings of opera singers of the past.6 Based on the recording dates, two waves of recording activity of Goldmark’s oeuvre can be distinguished during the first half of the twentieth century.

  • Art Song Terms Lotte Lehmann Was Renowned for Her Lieder Interpretations, but What Does the Word Lieder Mean? It Means Simply German Art Songs
    Art Song Terms Lotte Lehmann was renowned for her Lieder interpretations, but what does the word Lieder mean? It means simply German art songs. Art song's brief description: a poem set to music, usually for trained voice and piano with a duration of about three minutes. In German the word for such classical song is Lied (singular) and Lieder (plural). It is the German practice to capitalize their nouns. But this concise definition really doesn't touch the soul of Lieder. The elements (a quartet if you like: poet, composer, singer and pianist) work together, each complimenting the other. Many scholars have suggested that really great poetry shouldn't be set in song; it should stand on its own merits. And it is certainly true that epic poetry is seldom set to music. But lyric poetry, of whatever language, has inspired composers right down to our own times to set and even enhance a poem, often making it more accessible, highlighting elements that only music can. Lyric poetry tends to be short, concise, often deals with love, nature and other elements favored by the Romantic artists of the 18th and 19th Centuries. But though Lieder may have reached a climax in expression, appreciation and perfection during the 19th Century, art song is indeed still being written, performed and recorded today. In fact, this may be seen as another golden age of art song performance because it has become too expensive to record operas, thus many gifted singers record art song recitals instead. There is a dichotomy between the “bel canto” (beautiful singing) demands of opera, especially those of Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini, and the intimate, word-centered requirements of Lieder singing.

  • Furtwängler Broadcasts/Recordings
    Furtwängler Broadcasts & Broadcast Recordings 1927-1954 1st version: February 20, 2002 Latest revision: July 5, 2019 This list of Furtwängler broadcasts/broadcast recordings is based on various private and official lists in my possession. Most of the lists were given to me by Frau Elisabeth Furtwängler during visits in Clarens in the 1970s. I have not tried to verify stations missing from the lists. I have given RRG (Reichsrundfunk Gesellschaft) as source for many WWII broadcasts, which were transmitted from Berlin, Vienna, Bayreuth, or Prague. Many of the dates of these broadcasts stem from an Italian list (from Bologna), written in perfect German! Broadcasts of commercial recordings (78 rpms and LPs) are not included. In November/December 2003, I was asked by Angelo Scottini, Piacenza, Italy, to include his list of Italian broadcasts. January 1, 2004, René Trémine gave permission to include all broadcasts mentioned in his Furtwängler concert listing 1906-1954. April 21, 2008, Norbert Kleekamp forwarded information on the Meistersinger broadcasts from Bayreuth August 1943. February 1, 2010, I included the recorded broadcasts in my discography up to 1945. November 2012, René Trémine sent me a list of amendments, added on January 10, 2013. February 18, 2018, I added broadcasts from the Danish Radio (DR), from the BBC, and from the RRG. March 9, 2018, a few amendments by Stéphane Topakian were added. A few corrections were added on March 25, 2018. March 27, 2018 some broadcasts from the Swedish Radio (SR) were added. Broadcasts up to the end of 1947 from the Austrian database ANNO were added July 1, 2018.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Barry McDaniel sings Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, Duparc, Ravel & Debussy aud 23.426 EAN: 4022143234261 4022143234261 Fanfare (Lynn René Bayley - 2012.08.08) Barry McDaniel was an American baritone who, like many classical singers of his generation, found it more congenial (and possibly easier) to make a career in Europe and, in his case, particularly Germany. He gave numerous Lieder recitals and opera performances in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Hanover, Brunswick, and Berlin, and appeared at least once (in 1964) at Bayreuth as Wolfram in Wieland Wagner’s production of Tannhäuser. Yet he, like so many other baritones both domestic and foreign who sang Lieder, toiled in the shadow of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. This two-CD recital hopes to set things straight by issuing recordings which McDaniel made in German radio studios between 1963 and 1974. At least in the Schubert and Schumann, his singing is exquisitely rounded and well finished in phrasing, his general interpretations sensitive and beautifully articulated, yet he makes very little vocal contrast in these songs. This places his singing into the “very good but not great” category, similar to Heinrich Schlusnus, Herbert Janssen, and Gerhard Hüsch. It is not on the higher level of such pioneers as Karl Erb or Alexander Kipnis, or the more acted-out form of Lieder singing that came to fruition right after World War II in the styles of Fischer-Dieskau, Souzay, or Hotter. It is a subtle distinction, and not every listener may feel the same way I do. It’s the difference between telling a story (the old school) vs.

  • The Recorded Heritage of Willem Mengelberg and Its Aesthetic Relevance
    Copyright 2014 Samir Ghiocel Golescu THE RECORDED HERITAGE OF WILLEM MENGELBERG AND ITS AESTHETIC RELEVANCE BY SAMIR GHIOCEL GOLESCU DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William Kinderman, Chair Professor Ian Hobson Associate Professor Sherban Lupu Assistant Professor Katherine Syer ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the art and interpretative aesthetics of the Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg (1871-1951), as preserved in his sound recordings and, subsidiarily, in his writings. Emphasis is given to issues pertaining to 19th century performance practice, as well as to historical connections between Mengelberg and compositional/interpretative trends in Europe at the time. Mengelberg’s impact on musical life in Amsterdam, New York, and beyond will be considered. The relevance of Mengelberg’s recordings is assessed from both a documentary and aesthetic point of view. The quasi-entirety of Mengelberg’s rich body of recordings has been consulted, yet a few dozens of them have been chosen for an in-depth study meant to illuminate both their historical context and their contemporary relevance. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is with gratitude that I acknowledge the help and support of the committee members, particularly long-time University of Illinois mentors Ian Hobson and William Kinderman, as well as previous mentors and close musical friends such as Florica Nitzulescu, Ioan Welt, Elena Andriescu, Isabelle Belance-Zank, Hubert Wendel, and Sergei Pavlov. I am indebted to Ingrid Ilinca for her help and support.

  • Hans Pfitzner 1 Hans Pfitzner
    Hans Pfitzner 1 Hans Pfitzner Hans Erich Pfitzner (* 5. Mai 1869 in Moskau; † 22. Mai 1949 in Salzburg) war ein deutscher Komponist und Dirigent.
