  • Der Rosenkavalier« Launches Opera Video Stream of the Semperoper at the Easter Weekend
    Semperoper Dresden: Richard Strauss as Easter gift PRESS RELEASE Anne Schwanewilms ©Semperoper Dresden/Photo: Matthias Creutziger »Der Rosenkavalier« launches opera video stream of the Semperoper at the Easter weekend Dresden, 9 April 2020: With a production of Richard Strauss’s »Der Rosenkavalier« from the year 2000, the Semperoper Dresden is for the first time inviting music fans to enjoy star- studded opera via an online stream this Easter weekend. Director Uwe Erik Laufenberg staged the work, which premiered in Dresden in 1911, as a modern homage to the composer, a greatly beloved figure at the Semperoper. The celebrated Strauss interpreter Anne Schwanewilms appears as the Feldmarschallin under the baton of Fabio Luisi. From Maundy Thursday (April 9, 2020) to Easter Monday (April 13, 2020), this video recording from Tokyo’s NHK Hall in 2007 is available for streaming through our website semperoper.de under »Semperoper at home«. This weekend’s opera stream has been made possible by the generous granting of broadcasting rights by MDR and EuroArts. The DVD version of the performance is available for purchase. Thanks to UNITEL GmbH, »Semperoper at home«-streams will also be offered on the following weekends with a recording of Pietro Mascagni’s »Cavalleria rusticana« (April 17 - 19, 2020) and Ruggero Leoncavallo’s »Pagliacci« (April 24 – 26, 2020) from Salzburg’s Large Festival Hall in 2015. Originally director Philipp Stölzl staged this co-production between Saxon State Opera and the Salzburg Easter Festival as an operatic double bill; the Dresden premiere took place in January 2016. The star-studded cast, headed by Annalisa Stroppa and Jonas Kaufmann, perform under Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor of the Dresden Staatskapelle.

  • Strauss' Four Last Songs
    Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs A discographical survey by Ralph Moore I consider forty-six recordings of the Vier Letzte Lieder here, which is a goodly number, but by no means the total of all of those released in the nearly seventy years since their premiere in 1950. A survey cannot hope – or even want – to encompass every version but I have tried to include the most notable and have deliberately missed out a few which I know to be less than premium quality but have also reviewed one or two in the “caveat emptor” category as best avoided (see also MWI review index). These songs feature frequently in lists of personal nominations for favourite recordings, such as in the BBC radio programme “Desert Island Discs”. They are not a cycle as such, but all deal with the readiness for death and emanate a sense of calm, resignation and even transfiguration; I quote unashamedly from Wikipedia: “Towards the end of Im Abendrot, after the soprano's intonation of ‘Ist dies etwa der Tod?’ (‘Is this perhaps death?’), Strauss musically quotes his own tone poem Death and Transfiguration, written 60 years earlier. As in that piece, the quoted seven-note phrase (known as the ‘transfiguration theme’) has been seen as the fulfilment of the soul through death.” They are amenable to successful performance by a range of soprano voice-types, from the mezzo- tinged soprano falcon of Jessye Norman to the light, lyric sopranos of Lucia Popp or Anneliese Rothenberger, and although one or two sopranos have come a cropper in attempting them, there are many more admirable and even superlative recordings than failures.

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.

  • Intimes Grummeln Schubert Oder Beethoven in Historischem Gewand Klingen Wie Neu – Wenn Könner in Die Tasten Greifen
    KLASSIK Intimes Grummeln Schubert oder Beethoven in historischem Gewand klingen wie neu – wenn Könner in die Tasten greifen. s war einmal ein dunkles Zeitalter, da standen sich auf dem Feld E des Instrumentalklangs zwei Meinungslager gegenüber: Hier Tra - ditionalisten und Romantik-Erben, dort die Verfechter des Originalklangs. Metallsaite gegen Darmsaite, Vibrato oder keines: Solche Entscheidungen konnten Freundschaften zerstören. Inzwischen ist die sture Jagd nach Authentizität weitgehend passé. Und siehe da, nach dem Ende der Ver - bissenheit entwickeln sich historische Forschungen zur Schatzsuche. Die Pianistin Viviana Sofronitsky zum Beispiel, Tochter des legendären Wla - dimir Sofronitsky, hat jetzt Schuberts „Wanderer-Fantasie“ auf einem Fortepiano eingespielt, dem Nachbau eines Conrad-Graf-Instruments von 1819, ohne dass sie an der Virtuosität Abstriche machte. Sonor- dramatisch klingt diese Version und dennoch biedermeierlich intim; auch die oft allzu feinsinnig abgetönten Impromptus gewinnen eine Direktheit, als höre man plötzlich mit Schuberts Ohren. Viviana Parallel dazu hat sich Andreas Staier, Deutschlands virtuosester Sofronitsky Praktiker originalen Tastenklangs, ein Monument vorgenommen: spielt Schubert Beethovens „Diabelli-Variationen“ von 1823, ebenfalls auf einer (CAvi); Andreas Conrad-Graf-Kopie gespielt, entfalten vom grummelnden Bass Staier spielt bis in die Zartheit der hohen Oktaven charaktervolle Eigenart „Diabelli- wie ein Lebewesen.
