In English Verdi K 05205 12" 4/6 Parts I and 2 { Falstaff. Act 2, Scene 1. In English Verdi I Parts 3 and 4 K 05206 12" 4;6 All three roles sung by Roy Henderson MUSIC-LOVERS who know their " Falstaff"-that wonderful operatic version of Shakespeare's " Merry Wives of Windsor "-will remember that, in the second act. Ford, the husband o£ one of the two roguish wives, visits Falstaff under the name of" Master Brook" and begs the reprobate old knight, as an invincible lady- killer, to practice his amorous arts on Mistress Ford, so that he, the supposed "Master Brook," may afterwards secure her favours too. With wonderful skill and versatility, helped by inAenious recordini; methods, Mr. Henderson 1 as succeeted in differentiating most cl'verly between the voices and personalities of Falstaff himself, of Ford as " Master Brook," and of Ford in his own person, and has thus produced a record the like of which, so far as we are aware, has never been attempted before. Mr. Henderson recently made a tremendous hit by his assumption of the part of Ford in the revival of the opera by the Royal Acad-my of Music at the Scala Theatre-whence arose no doubt the idea of this remarkable combination of roles which he has now carried out so brilliantly. THE AEOLIAN ORCHESTRA (Conducted by the Composer) The Wasps Overture } A-0249 12" 5/6 Parts I & II. R. `Vaughan Williams 'T'HE overture to "The Wasps" is one of Vaughan Williams lighter instrumental 1 works and thus may be classed to some extent with the delightful "Old King Cole" Suite issued on Vocalion' records last month. The music is entirely English in character, being based as it is throughout either on actual folk tunes or on melodies of this type. And certainly it will not find any less favour with the average English hearer on th s account. Asa matter of detail the realistic buzzing of the wasps at the beginning of the overture, and again later, should not be overlooked.

Tetrazzini's indisposition a few months ago she would have been more than human if she had not at the same time appreciated the honour and distinction of being called on to supply the famous prima donna's place. Miss Paikin rose triumphantly to the occasion, surprising even her warmest most critical hearers by the brilliance of her performances. And no one, admirers and her the great it is pleasant to know, rejoiced more heartily in triumphs than and generous-hearted artist who had given her her opportunity. Of the two delightful records by Miss Paikin now offered the sparkling and Waltz Song from Gounod's Romeo Juliette " is known and loved by all, captivating at delightful while ' Non so piu " is of course one of the most famous and numbers from Mozart's immortal "Le Nozze di Figaro."

ARMAND TOKATYAN. the maker of these two splendid records, hails from Bulgaria. Tenor voices of his quality-full, rich, round and sympathetic, and produced with such ease and effectiveness-are exceedingly rare and it is in no sense surprising therefore to learn of the many and striking successes which-Mr. Tokatyan has enjoyed. Alike in Italy and in America, where he has been one of the "stars" of the famous Metropolitan Opera Company, he has indeed enjoyed unlimited favour, and it needs only to make acquaintance with the two records herewith presented to understand the reason why.

There are many great pianists of the very first rank and violinists of the same class are no less numerous, but there is only one viola player who is regarded on all hands as the greatest livini3 master of the instrument; and this is Mr. Lionel Tertis. We count it a privilege to have been able to issue so many records by this great artist and cannot refrain from adding for the benefit of those interested, that they are offered at prices just 40 per cent cheaper than those which are obtainable elsewhere.

Ina Boyle inhabits a unique space in twentieth-century music in Ireland as the first resident Irishwoman to write a symphony. If her name conjures any recollection at all to scholars of British music, it is most likely in connection to Vaughan Williams, whom she studied with privately, or in relation to some of her friends and close acquaintances such as Elizabeth Maconchy, Grace Williams, and Anne Macnaghten. While the appearance of a biography may seem somewhat surprising at first glance, for those more aware of the growing interest in Boyle’s music in recent years, it was only a matter of time for her life and music to receive a more detailed and thorough examination.

Ce fait, le voici: on assassine un peuple. Où? En Europe. Ce fait a-t-il des témoins? Un témoin, le monde entier. Les gouvernements le voient-ils? Non. Les nations ont au-dessus d'elles quelque chose qui est au-dessous d'elles les gouvernements. A de certains moments, ce contre-sens éclate: la civilisation est dans les peuples, la barbarie est dans les gouvernants. Cette barbarie est-elle voulue? Non; elle est simplement professionnelle. Ce que le genre humain sait, les gouvernements l'ignorent. Cela tient à ce que les gouvernements ne voient rien qu'à travers cette myopie, la raison d'état; le genre humain regarde avec un autre oeil, la conscience. Nous allons étonner les gouvernements européens en leur apprenant une chose, c'est que les crimes sont des crimes, c'est qu'il n'est pas plus permis à un gouvernement qu'à un individu d'être un assassin, c'est que l'Europe est solidaire, c'est que tout ce qui se fait en Europe est fait par l'Europe, c'est que, s'il existe un gouvernement bête fauve, il doit être traité en bête fauve; c'est qu'à l'heure qu'il est, tout près de nous, là, sous nos yeux, on massacre, on incendie, on pille, on extermine,

It dates from about the same period in his career as the famous "Scheherazade" and, like that work, is dis- tinguished especially by the vividness and richness of its orchestration. At the same time the fine Russian church tunes on which it is based serve as a splendid thematic foundation for a most arresting and attractive work, every detail of which has been brought out in masterly stale by M. Rhend- Baton. Composer, conductor, pianist, writer-1I. Rhene-Baton is one of the most brilliant of living French musicians. London music lovers will remember him in connection with the Russian Ballet's performances of Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" and other works which he directed in 1912, while more recently, in January last, he had great success as con- ductor of one of the Royal Philharmonic Society's concerts, the programme including this same work of Rimsky-Iiorsakov of which he has now pro- duced, in conjunction with the Aeolian Orchestra, such brilliant records.

S PECIAL interest attaches to these records for three reasons. In the first place the work itself is one of the grandest examples of its class ever written, secondly it is now issued for the first time by any come pany in this country and thirdly the solo part has been played by one of the greatest of living pianists, who had the further distinction of perform- ing the work for the first time in England under the direction of the composer himself. Sapellnikoff's commanding powers have long since been known to the 'Vocalion' public, as to the world at large but even he has never done anything finer than the truly magnificent interpretation which he has provided of one of the most exacting and at the same time supremely effective of all existing compositions of its type. The discerning hear will not fail to notice, also, the splendid quality of the accompanying orchestral playing by the Aeolian Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Stanley Chapple, and the strikingly successful way in which the whole work has been r'produced.CLARA SERENA (Contralto) In Italian.

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

  • Newsletter Wednesday 10Th March 2021
    Winchester City Festival Choir NEWSLETTER WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021 Welcome to another edition of ramblings from the conductor! I hope the newsletter continues to find you well. When Vaughan Williams met Shakespeare I think Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) has the accolade of being the composer to gett the most mentions in these newsletters! I make no apology for this, or for bringing his music to your attention again this week! I’m going secular for a change, and focusing on some of his music which uses the words of William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616). I’m going slightly off track this week as the first piece isn’t technically written for a choir, so it isn’t choral, but it could be… and is often sung by choirs with four soloists. Before we get to our first piece of music, a little history of the English conductor Sir Henry Wood (1869 – 1944), best known for his association with London's annual series of promenade concerts, known as the Proms. Indeed, it has been said that Henry Wood made the Proms and the Proms made Henry Wood! Wood studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at first seems to have intended a career as a composer, but his conducting abilities were to win out, particularly from 1895 when still only 26, he assumed the conductorship of a new series of Promenade Concerts to be given at the recently built Queen’s Hall in Langham Place. Nobody would have guessed that the series would survive two world wars and (hopefully) a pandemic! That it did was testament to Henry Wood’s devotion and sheer hard work over a 50-year period.
