Dear Customer, As summer gives way to autumn (for those of us in the northern hemisphere at least), the record labels start rolling out their big guns in the run-up to the festive season. This year is no exception, with some notable high-profile issues: the complete Tchaikovsky Project from the Czech Philharmonic under Semyon Bychkov, and Richard Strauss tone poems from Chailly in Lucerne (both on Decca); the Beethoven Piano Concertos from Jan Lisiecki, and Mozart Piano Trios from Barenboim (both on DG). The independent labels, too, have some particularly strong releases this month, with Chandos discs including Bartók's Bluebeard’s Castle from Edward Gardner in Bergen, and the keenly awaited second volume of British tone poems under Rumon Gamba. Meanwhile Hyperion bring out another volume (no.79!) of their Romantic Piano Concerto series, more Machaut from the wonderful Orlando Consort (see our cover picture), and Brahms songs from soprano Harriet Burns. Another Hyperion Brahms release features as our 'Disc of the Month': the Violin Sonatas in a superb new recording from star team Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien (see below).

    Rezensionen für Franz Liszt: Künstlerfestzug - Tasso - Dante Symphony aud 97.760 4022143977601 allmusic.com 01.04.2020 ( - 2020.04.01) source: https://www.allmusic.com/album/franz-lis... Karabits's performance of this large work is several minutes longer than average, without dragging in the least: he gets the moody quality that is lost in splashier readings. A very strong Liszt release, with fine sound from the Congress Centrum Neue Weimarhalle. Full review text restrained for copyright reasons. American Record Guide August 2020 ( - 2020.08.01) In 1847 while touring as a pianist in Kiev, Liszt met Polish Princess Carolyne of Sayn–Wittgenstein, who became his companion for the rest of his life. In 1848 he accepted a conducting job in Weimar, where he and the Princess lived until 1861. Carolyne persuaded him to trade performing for composing, and those years, among his most prolific, produced the three works on this program. As a young man, Liszt was already an admirer of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. In the 1840s he considered writing a chorus and orchestra work drawn from it, accompanied by a slideshow of scenes from the poem by German artist Bonaventura Genelli, but nothing came of it. In 1849, he composed Apres une Lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata (the Dante Sonata) for piano. In 1855 he began the Dante Symphony based on the 'Inferno' and 'Purgatorio' sections of Dante's poem. He completed it in 1857. The work begins with Virgil and Dante descending into the Inferno. Liszt supplied no text save for the Magnificat, but he included a few lines from the poem under score staves to guide the conductor's interpretation, most notably the opening brass motifs to the rhythms of the text over the Gates of Hell.

After graduation I participated in classes with exceptional artists like Lotte Lehmann, Pierre Bernac and Martial Singher. Those unique experiences are indelibly printed in my memory and were crucial to my development as a singer. It gives me great pleasure to fund this series of Master Classes in Voice, and to have the brilliant Joyce El-Khoury as our special guest this year. I plan to continue to sponsor other great artists in this series in the years to come. Sincerely, Riki T urofsky We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

  • M. Fátima Rosa the Legend of Sardanapalus
    The Legend of Sardanapalus: From ancient Assyria to European stages and screens Maria de Fátima ROSA CHAM e DH, FCSH, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Email: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-2302-7751 Abstract “Adieu, Assyria! / I loved thee well”. These were the last words of king Sardanapalus, the last king of Assyria, according to Lord Byron. Throughout the centuries, Europe was confronted with the tragic story of Mesopotamia’s last monarch, a king more effeminate than a woman, a lascivious and idle man, a governor who loathed all expressions of militarism and war. But this story was no more than it proposed to be: a story, not history. Sardanapalus was not even real! The Greeks conceived him; artists, play writers, and cineastes preserved him. Through the imaginative minds of early Modern and Modern historians, artists and dramaturgs, Sardanapalus’ legend endured well into the 20th-century in several different media. Even after the first excavations in Assyria, and the exhumation of its historical archives, where no king by the name of Sardanapalus was recorded, fantasy continued to surpass history. Keywords: Reception of Antiquity, Mesopotamia, Greek Mythology, Opera, Italian Cinema. 1. Introduction (Brinkman 1984, 85-92), his capacity to rule and to subdue his enemies, and for his love for culture. Who was Sardanapalus? To speak about him means Besides a faithful servant of his gods, a provider of to immerse oneself in the history of the ancient his people and a caretaker of his/the god’s land, as world and the genesis of Eastern and Western a Mesopotamian king should be, Ashurbanipal was cultures.

  • LE SARDANAPALO (1678) DE FRESCHI Pratiques Théâtrales Et Musicales Du Contraste Dans L'opéra Vénitien Du Xviie Siècle
    Chroniques italiennes web 30 (2/2015) LE SARDANAPALO (1678) DE FRESCHI Pratiques théâtrales et musicales du contraste e dans l’opéra vénitien du XVII siècle En 1678, le librettiste Carlo Maderni et le compositeur Domenico Freschi donnent, pour le théâtre Sant’ Angelo de Venise, un opéra de sujet historique : Sardanapalo. Centré autour de la figure royale de Sardanapale, l'ouvrage reprend et développe les éléments que nous transmet l'historien latin Justin dans son Abrégé des histoires philippiques. Homme avide de sexe, aimant filer et s'habiller en femme, il incarne l'immoralité et la luxure. Le choix d'un tel sujet est inédit dans la programmation du théâtre Sant’Angelo mais aussi dans les répertoires des théâtres italiens du XVIIe siècle. Ainsi, Sardanapalo interroge cette notion de nouveauté en termes de création poétique et lyrique : plus qu'un phénomène artistique, celle-ci devient un enjeu économique et esthétique. Venise occupe une place d’importance sur les scènes lyriques italiennes du XVIIe siècle. Dès la création du premier théâtre public en 1637, elle se démarque des autres cités italiennes par la qualité des spectacles produits et la richesse des créations. Ville d’opéras, elle permet de faire rencontrer alors les librettistes, compositeurs et les hommes d’influence qui œuvrent pour la réalisation du théâtre lyrique. Venise est ainsi une plaque tournante dans le domaine de la création musicale. Les compositeurs affluent des provinces de l’Italie du Nord pour pouvoir faire représenter leurs opéras. Cette volonté de réussir une carrière théâtrale dans la cité lacustre est donnée en exemple par Domenico Freschi, maître de chapelle à Vicence.

Despite a battery of operatic transcriptions and a storied variation set on Bellini’s ‘Suoni la tromba’ (I puritani), his only completed opera, Don Sanche (1825), is typically classed as an unsuccessful juvenile work of dubious authorship.1 All other planned operas of the 1840s and 1850s remained the embryos of ambition, including Richard of Palestine (Walter Scott), Le corsaire (Byron/Dumas), Consuelo (George Sand), Jankó (Karl Beck), Spartacus (Oscar Wolff), Marguerite (Goethe),2 Divina commedia (Dante/Autran), Email: [email protected] While preparing this article I have accrued a number of debts.

But during the 1840s, before drafting any of his symphonic poems, Liszt’s strategic ambition was precisely to become a composer of opera. ‘Within three years I’ll end my career in Vienna and in Pest, where I began it.’ – he told the exiled Italian Princess Cristina Belgiojoso in 1841 – ‘But before then, during the winter of 1843, I want to première an opera in Venice (Le Corsaire after Lord Byron).’2 This would be, he explained privately, a means of pivoting away from life as a prodigiously successful touring virtuoso and attaining status as a serious professional composer, alongside Rossini, Meyerbeer and the young Wagner.
