  • IDOMENEO EN MEXICO (O Un Pretexto Para Pasearse Por Algunos Mitos Griegos) II ROBERTO KRETSCHMER
    Este País 95 Febrero 1999 IDOMENEO EN MEXICO (o un pretexto para pasearse por algunos mitos griegos) II ROBERTO KRETSCHMER Mozart adoraba a su Idomeneo. Hasta el fin de sus días lo consideró su ópera consentida, la primogénita de sus siete óperas maestras. Y no es difícil entender por qué. Después de un deprimente pero no improductivo receso de diez años, en que aquel niño prodigio que deleitó a las cortes europeas no logra todavía transformarse y ser reconocido como el genio musical que él sabía que traía adentro —súbitamente, Deus ex machina—, el melómano y excelente flautista Karl Theodor, príncipe elector Bavaria, le encarga la composición de una ópera seria para el carnaval de 1781. Es probable que el frugal príncipe bávaro —por recomendación de Cannabich, director de la orquesta de Mannheim— acudiera por razones económicas al jovenzuelo Mozart (su súbdito, pues Salzburgo era parte de Bavaria entonces) y a Varesco, un jesuita italiano oriundo de Trieste pero radicado y mal pagado en Salzburgo, donde además murió en la miseria en 1805. Ordenar una ópera seria a consagrados como Gluck, Paisiello, Mercadante o Salieri, y usando a un libretista como Metastasio, hubiera salido demasiado caro. En cambio Mozart y Varesco, ambos radicados en la lánguida Salzburgo y aún lejos de la fama, aceptarían gustosos el encargo por un honorario mucho menor (Varesco recibió a regaña-dientes 90 ducados y Mozart 200 [?] ducados; un ducado era igual a 20 dólares actuales). Y así fue. ¡Su tacañez; nuestra ganancia! De no haber sido así, tendríamos más de lo mismo de Paisiello o de Salieri.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Frederica von Stade dated February 2, 2012.

This companion volume is as copiously illustrated, with a new page design and approach that reflects the new directions in Sendak's career as an operatic “theater artist.” Sendak has put on many operas, including The Magic Flute (for which he designed a production used by companies such as The Los Angeles Opera, Opera Colorado and Houston Grand Opera).

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.
