Penderecki, Who First Visited It in 1974, Following the ‘Yom Kippur’ War CMYK NAXOS NAXOS Jerusalem has special significance for Penderecki, who first visited it in 1974, following the ‘Yom Kippur’ war. He was commissioned then to write a work for the third millennium celebration of the city of David. He composed the oratorio Seven Gates of Jerusalem in 1996 – the Eighth Gate being reserved for the Messiah in Jewish tradition. It was premièred there the following year, with Lorin Maazel conducting. Following the work’s Polish première, the composer decided to DDD PENDERECKI: call it his Seventh Symphony.

September 2020 09.04 – 09.35 Uhr FEATURE Einmal Waldorf, immer Waldorf Von Lisa Albrecht Stuttgart, 1919. Eine Utopie öffnet ihre Türen: die erste Waldorfschule. Die Waldorfpädagogik setzt auf eine ganzheitliche Bildung, auf Kunst, Musik und Handwerk. Vor 100 Jahren Avantgarde. Heute sieht die Welt anders aus. Digitalisierung, weltweite Vernetzung, berufliche wie private Anpassung. Die Anforderungen steigen ständig. Lisa Albrecht hat ihr Abitur 2015 an der Waldorfschule in Dresden absolviert. Fünf Jahre später trifft sie ihre Mitschüler von einst. Sie will wissen, welche Richtung deren Leben nach dem Schulabschluss genommen hat. Mit den Erzählungen begibt sie sich auch auf eine eigene Erinnerungsreise. Was ist geblieben von der Waldorf- Erfahrung? Ist Waldorfpädagogik heute noch eine Antwort auf die komplexe Welt oder doch eher ein „weltfremdes“ Überbleibsel, das mit den Veränderungen der Zeit nicht mithalten kann? Regie: Ulf Köhler Produktion: MDR 2020 - Ursendung - 19.04 – 19.30 Uhr KULTURTERMIN Weiter lesen – das LCB im rbb Han Kang liest „Weiß” Am Mikrofon: Anne-Dore Krohn Die südkoreanische Schriftstellerin Han Kang, bekannt für den Weltbestseller „Die Vegetarierin“ (Man Booker Prize 2016), hat ein neues literarisches Meisterstück veröffentlicht: „Weiß“ heißt der jüngste Roman, und er ist so verstörend wie grandios. Eine Reise in eine europäische Stadt im Winterschlaf, bei der eine Tragödie wieder an die Oberfläche steigt: die Erinnerung an die als Kind verstorbene Schwester. Da sind Bilder: das Weiß der Muttermilch, der Windel, der Haut des Mädchens. Eine kunstvolle Meditation über eine Farbe, eine Auseinandersetzung mit einem Familientrauma. Anne-Dore Krohn bekommt Sprachnachrichten von Han Kang aus Seoul und spricht mit ihrem deutschen Lektor Anvar Cukoski und Thorsten Dönges vom Literarischen Colloquium.

  • Berlioz's Les Troyens
    Berlioz’s Les Troyens - A Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore In over a hundred years of recording history, there have been no more than forty recordings of Berlioz’ epic masterpiece in any form – excerpts, complete, in French, English and several other languages – and there are reasons for that comparative paucity of output. Of those, only two are complete studio recordings in French, as Scherchen’s 1952 set is just Part 2, Les Troyens à Carthage. There are, however, also a couple of complete, live, modern recordings in French, whose digital sound is virtually as good as the studio versions; otherwise, despite individual gems, the catalogue offers a limited choice if you apply the reasonable criteria of wanting a complete performance in good sound performed in French by first-rate singers. Fortunately, we are not bereft of worthy accounts: those remaining options are generally attractive and there is also a range of excellent supplementary recordings. Les Troyens is challenging to stage as well as sing; it essentially combines two operas running for a total of four hours and as such a stage production is at least the equivalent of mounting Götterdämmerung - and you need two prima donnas, not just one. I am of the not especially controversial opinion that the best music is in the second half of an opera, which is why that was first performed. The Trojan first part is necessarily more jagged and violent apart from interludes such as the lovely duet between Cassandre and Chorèbe, whereas the Carthage action contains more which is lyrical or reflective.

    144 DISCOVIDEOGRAFIA 2009-2011 DISCOVIDEOGRAFIA 2009-2011 145 DISCOVIDEOGRAFIA VERDIANA Aggiornamenti 2009-2011 Alessandro Turba Proprio a partire dagli anni a cui si riferiscono i presenti Aggiorna- menti le case discografiche stanno alacremente rimpolpando i propri cata- loghi di ‘provviste’, onde necessariamente far fronte a una domanda che, come è ovvio aspettarsi, troverà il suo culmine nell’anno del festeggiamen- to del bicentenario verdiano, ormai alle porte. Tale, esponenziale crescita del gettito di titoli verdiani è, però, logicamente dovuta anche all’offerta di nuovi supporti tecnologici che, a distanza di più di dieci anni dalle passate celebrazioni, si è di molto diversificata (vedi il Super Audio CD e, nell’ambito dell’audiovisivo, il Blu-ray Disc). Ma non è tutto oro quel- lo che luccica. Lo sforzo delle case discografiche, le ‘minorities’ come le ‘majors’, non è che il disperato tentativo di tenere testa a una crisi del mer- cato discografico dovuta alla libera circolazione e condivisione di mate- riali audiovisivi resa possibile da Internet; crisi da loro cercata di arginare smerciando le registrazioni dei propri cataloghi proprio attraverso questo canale, rendendole disponibili agli internauti melomani con un click. Al momento, l’irreversibilità di questa ‘crisi’ si palesa nella radicalizzazione di quanto già constatato negli anni scorsi dai precedenti titolari di questa rubrica: «l’estinzione della registrazione in studio»1. La tendenza da parte 1 CARLO MARINELLI - ANNA GRAZIA PETACCIA, Discografia verdiana, Aggiornamenti 146 DISCOVIDEOGRAFIA 2009-2011 delle case discografiche è quella, infatti, di catturare tramite videoriprese – oggi perlopiù in High Definition, grazie anche ai mezzi e alla sinergia con grandi enti televisivi – un particolare evento teatrale ‘dal vivo’, tutt’al più operando un montaggio tra le performances più riuscite, nel mentre in cui il titolo staziona nel cartellone della stagione operistica di un dato Ente Lirico.
