  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

Allegro energico 11'02 3 II. Andante 9'02 4 III. Scherzo. Allegro, ma non troppo presto 7'13 5 IV. Finale. Sostenuto — Allegro vivace alla breve 14'18 TT: 55'52 Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Neeme Järvi conductor 2 he two works on this record show completely different sides of the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar. The symphonic concert overture Excelsior! written Tin 1896 is one of his very first orchestral works, composed by an un - disciplined disciple of Wagner, while the Symphony in G minor from 1915 is much more precise in its articulation, both simple in utterance and formally perfect. After training in his native city of Stockholm, Stenhammar was often in Berlin in the 1890s. He studied the piano there with Heinrich Barth in 1892–93 and was later engaged as a soloist on several occasions. With Richard Strauss conducting he played, for instance, his own Piano Concerto in B flat minor. Stenhammar nat- ur ally came into contact with a great deal of Germanic music and himself composed mu sical dramas in a Wagnerian style and piano music using a Brahmsian palette. A boisterously youthful temperament pervades Excelsior! The main theme is intro duced Leidenschaftlich bewegt (impassioned) by the strings to the accompani - ment of insistent triplets from the woodwind. The secondary theme is presented first by the clarinet and then by flute and bassoon.

Their one recorded meeting took place in 1909 when Stenhammar performed with the Aulin Quartet at a concert at Strindberg's own theatre, Intima Teatern in Stockholm. The following year, at the same venue, the Aulin Quartet gave the first performance of Stenhammar's Quartet No. 4 in A minor; whether Strindberg attended that concert or not is not known.

Tempo moderato 9'00 TT: 58'19 Royal Flemish Philharmonic Marta Sparnina leader Christian Lindberg conductor 2 t is said that the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871–1927) began every work day by asking himself ‘What is a note?’ Behind this constant return to a Isort of Cartesian origin we can discern a sharp musical intellect, capable of great things but also with a certain inclination towards crushingly severe self-cri ti - cism. The history of Stenhammar’s œuvre testifies to both of these aspects – some - times combining artistic triumph and disappointment in the same piece of music. Florez and Blanzeflor, the work of a precocious youth, caused a sensation, as did his début as soloist – aged just over twenty – in his own First Piano Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert overture Excelsior!, completed in September 1896, was first per - formed on 28th December of that year by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arthur Nikisch, while the orchestra was on tour in Copenhagen.
