I need people who I can count on to help keep my financial life on course so I can focus on creating and sharing the “adventures” of classical music. City National shares my passion and is instrumental in helping me bring classical music to audiences all over the world. They enjoy being a part of what I do and love. That is the essence of a successful relationship. City National is The way up® for me.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

  • Hilde Zadek (1917-2019) Den Sista Stora Sopranen I Den Österrikiska Efterkrigsgenerationen, Hilde Zadek, Har Gått Ur Tiden, 101 År Gammal
    In memoriam: Hilde Zadek (1917-2019) Den sista stora sopranen i den österrikiska efterkrigsgenerationen, Hilde Zadek, har gått ur tiden, 101 år gammal. Zadek föddes i polska Bydgoszcz 1917 och växte upp i Stettin och Wien. 1934 tvingades hon på grund av sin judiska härkomst lämna Tyskland och utvandrade till Palestina där hon arbetade som sjuksköterska på en barnklinik i Jerusalem. Hon studerade för Rose Pauly där och för Ria Ginster i Zürich där hon även deltog i uruppförandet av Max Ettingers ortatorium Die Königin Esther. 1947 gjorde Zadek sensationell debut som Aida på Wiener Staatsoper. Zadek kom att tillhöra ensemblen på Staatsoper i över tjugo år. Gästspel över hela världen gav henne stora framgångar. Hon sjöng på festivalerna i Salzburg och Edinburgh, 1948 som Brangäne i Frank Martins Le Vin herbé och året därpå i sopransolot i Verdis Requiem under Herbert von Karajan. 1950 sjöng hon titelrollen i Ariadne på Naxos och Vitellia i Mozarts La clemenza di Tito. Hon sjöng i uruppförandet av Carl Orffs Antigonae 1949 och gestaltade Magda Sorel i Wien-premiären på Gian Carlo Menottis Konsuln. Hon sjöng Donna Anna och Ariadne i Edinburgh och Glyndebourne, Aida i Florens, Lisa iSpader dam och Tosca på Covent Garden. Zadek sjöng även i bl.a. Buenos Aires, Lissabon, Paris, Bryssel, Amsterdam, Rom, San Francisco och München. Säsongen 1952-53 uppträdde hon på Metropolitan som Donna Anna, Aida, Eva i Mästersångarna, Elsa i Lohengrin och Salome. 1957 gästspelade hon i titelrollen i Glucks Ifigenia på Tauris på Staatsoper i Berlin. Hon hade också stora framgångar på Bolsjoj i Moskva och i Rio de Janeiro.
