Trotzdem hat ihn der Theateralltag weder mit Zynismus noch mit Hochmut gegerbt. Johannes Martin Kränzle kann noch immer sonnig lächeln. Er kann an Inhalte und Figuren glauben – und an die sinnliche Kraft der Musik. Er ist bescheiden geblieben. Ein Ausnahmesänger schon deshalb, weil er seine Stim- me über so lange Zeit und viel - fältige Aufgaben hinweg frisch ge- halten hat. Vor drei, vier Jahren erst veränderte eine Koinzidenz von Zufällen sein Leben. Jetzt ist er auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn angekommen. An der Mailänder Scala und der Berliner Staatsoper singt er unter der Leitung von Daniel Barenboim den Alberich. Bei den Salzburger Festspielen fei- erte er in der Uraufführung von Wolfgang Rihms «Dionysos» einen persönlichen Triumph. Für diese Partien vor allem wurde er zum «Sänger des Jahres» gewählt.

Art Songs by Mathilde von Kralik Premiere recording devoted to the vibrant and engaging music of Mathilde von Kralik: a pioneering Romantic- era composer whose music is ripe for rediscovery The newest in Delos’ series presenting worthy music of unjustly neglected composers, heard here in splendid performances by tenor Donald George and pianist Lucy Mauro DE 3424 (DDD) UPC: 0 13491 34242 9 Price Code: A Total Playing Time: 49:41 “Music as if from a volcano! Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden must indeed have had a volcanic temperament … whoever heard it won’t forget it anytime soon.” –Petra Diederichs; Rheinische Post, July 3, 2007 Given such enthusiastic critical response to Austrian composer Mathilde von Kralik (1857-1944), as well as the excellence of the works recorded here, it would indeed seem that a reassessment of her reputation and restoration of her music to modern performers’ repertoires is long overdue. A noble heritage Born into a highly cultured and musically accomplished upper-class family, she took on the “official” full name of Mathilde Aloisia Kralik von Meyrswalden after the Austrian Emperor elevated her father, a wealthy Bohemian industrialist, to the minor nobility as Wilhelm Kralik Ritter von Meyrswalden. Louise, her mother, provided her early piano training; and the entire family made music at home together. After moving to Vienna in 1870, Mathilde’s parents saw to it that their precocious daughter studied with the very finest musical peda- gogues – including private counterpoint lessons with Anton Bruckner, who was later one of her professors after she was admitted to the Vienna Conservatory in 1876.

  • Die Wiener Schule Und Preßburg/Bratislava: Reflexionen
    Jana Lengová (Bratislava/Slowakei) Die Wiener Schule und Preßburg/Bratislava: Reflexionen, Aufführungen, Nachwirkung Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Rezeption der Komponisten Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg und Anton Webern als Hauptrepräsentanten der Wiener Schule in Preßburg/Bratislava im 20. Jahrhundert bis zum Jahr 2007. Er ist in drei Themenbereiche – Reflexionen, Aufführungen, Nach- wirkung – gegliedert, die allerdings eng miteinander zusammenhängen, was bedeutet, daß die Grenzen zwischen ihnen fließend sind. Im ersten Themen- bereich sind vornehmlich die musikgeschichtlichen, ästhetischen und theo- retischen Ansichten über die erwähnten Komponisten, ihr Schaffen und ihre Bedeutung skizziert, wie sie in den zeitgenössischen slowakischen Periodika sowie in der Literatur publiziert wurden. Im zweiten Themenbereich stehen die Aufführungen der einzelnen Werke und deren Nachhall in der Musikkri- tik im Vordergrund. Im dritten Themenbereich werden die Nachwirkung der Wiener Schule und die Anregungen der Zwölftontechnik bzw. der seriel- len Kompositionsart auf das Musikschaffen der slowakischen Komponisten kurz geschildert. Mit Preßburg ist Arnold Schönberg durch seine Eltern eng verbunden. Bekanntlich stammte Samuel Schönberg, Arnolds Vater, aus dem ungari- schen Teil der Habsburgermonarchie, seine Kindheit verbrachte er – späte- stens ab 1842 – in Preßburg, und erst Anfang der 1850er Jahre übersiedelte er von Preßburg nach Wien.1 Interessanterweise lebte auch Pauline Nachod, Arnolds Mutter, obwohl in Prag geboren, kurz vor ihrer Heirat in Preßburg. Infolgedessen figurierte Arnold Schönberg in den Amtsakten als ungarischer Bürger und nach dem Zerfall Österreichs-Ungarns nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg als tschechoslowa- kischer Bürger. Jedoch blieb seine Beziehung zu Preßburg eher formal, es gibt zur Zeit keine Quellen, die seine näheren persönlichen Kontakte mit den hiesigen Musikern beweisen könnten.
