Also on dVd is A Celebration of Leonard Bernstein: Carnegie Hall Opening Night 2008, the San francisco Symphony’s gala Bernstein concert, broadcast originally on PBS’s Great Performances. MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 1 “it’s not unheard of for this orchestra and conductor to sound so good together; anyone who’s been going to davies Symphony hall with any frequency in recent years has heard comparable performances. But to hear the dramatic sweep and sonic depth of the performance caught so resplendently on disc—that’s another story. thomas’ dedication to live recordings has never seemed so thoroughly justified.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mahler: Symphony No. 1 SFS-0002 Hybrid SACD MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 2 SOLOISTS Isabel Bayrakdarian Lorraine Hunt Lieberson with the San francisco Symphony Chorus “At times demoniacally dramatic, [MTT] … yields a forceful, stunning interpretation (sumptuous brass) with sepulchral undertones (strings from beyond the grave). the vocal parts are almost supernatural.… it is a decidedly classy performance.” – Le Monde Mahler: Symphony No.

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

V první části shrnuje život skladatele, stručně charakterizuje jeho dílo a kompoziční styl. Druhá část, věnovaná samotné kantátě, je zaměřena především na srovnání několika verzí kantáty. Jedná se o původní originální symfonickou verzi, autorizovanou komorní verzi, a pak také o transkripci pro symfonický dechový orchestr. Annotation The thesis „Carl Orff: Carmina Burana” deals with composer Carl Orff and his most famous composition the cantata of Carmina Burana, as is already clear from the title itself. In the first part the composer's life is summarized and briefly his work and compositional style are characterized. The second part is dedicated to the cantata itself, it is focused on comparing several versions of the cantatas. There is one original symphonic version, the Authorized chamber version, and a transcription for symphonic band.

    4 | Wine, women, and song? Reconsidering the Carmina Burana gundela bobeth (translated by henry hope)1 Introduction: blending popular views and scientific approaches By choosing the catchy title Carmina Burana –‘songs from Benediktbeuern’–for his 1847 publication of all Latin and German poems from a thirteenth-century manuscript held at the Kurfürstliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek Munich, a manuscript as exciting then as now, the librar- ian Johann Andreas Schmeller coined a term which, unto the present day, is generally held to denote secular music-making of the Middle Ages in paradigmatic manner.2 The Carmina Burana may be numbered among the few cornerstones of medieval music history which are known, at least by name, to a broader public beyond the realms of musicology and medieval history, and which have evolved into a ‘living cultural heritage of the present’.3 Held today at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek under shelfmarks Clm 4660 and 4660a, and commonly known as the ‘Codex Buranus’, the manuscript – referred to in what follows as D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a – constitutes the largest anthology of secular lyrics in medieval Latin and counts among the most frequently studied manuscripts of the Middle Ages.4 Yet the entity most commonly associated with the title Carmina Burana has only little to do with the musical transmission of this manu- script. Carl Orff’s eponymous cantata of 1937, which quickly became one of the most famous choral works of the twentieth century, generally tops the list of associations. Orff’s cantata relates to D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a only in as much as it is based on a subjective selection of the texts edited by Schmeller; it does not claim to emulate the medieval melodies.
