Es otra de las muchas actividades que se han organizado para conmemorar el año de su muerte. Los diez sellos, que representarán las portadas de sus álbumes más famosos, entre ellos Hunky Dory (1971) y Aladdin Sane (1973), estarán a la venta desde el 14 de marzo. "Durante cinco décadas, David Bowie estuvo al frente de la cultura contemporánea y ha tenido una influencia en las sucesivas generaciones de músicos, artistas, diseñadores y escritores", ha asegurado Philip Parker, portavoz del servicio postal británico. El Pais.com 1 Sabina regresa con un nuevo videoclip Los besos de Judas, las flores a María, la cirrosis y la sobredosis...todo lo niega el músico Joaquín Sabina (Úbeda, 1949) en el tema que dará nombre a su próximo disco, previsto para este mes marzo: Lo niego todo. El videoclip de Lo niego todo, en blanco y negro y rodado a finales de 2016, en diferentes localizaciones de Madrid, encaja de manera impecable con lo que representa la canción y nos da una visión de la trayectoria de Joaquín Sabina desde un enfoque muy personal.

  • Paul Meissen
    Paul Meissen 19. Oktober 1933 Hamburg First Contact with Karl Richter If I remember rightly, I met Karl Richter for the first time in Hamburg. My studies had led me from Detmold to the State Music Chapel in Karlsruhe, Baden. After 2 1/2 years in Karlsruhe I joined the Philharmonic State Orchestra in Hamburg. I believe it was in 1956 in Hamburg that we performed the Brandenburg Concerts from Johann Sebastian Bach in two concerts. During this time I was also called upon to take part in just this performance with just this Chamber Orchestra; and that was when I met Karl Richter for the first time. This arrangement with Hamburg was, as far as Richter was concerned, supposed to develop further, but it never took place more than this one time. He was certainly disappointed that most of the orchestra members also played in other Chamber Orchestras and he never felt that they afforded him their central point of interest. And I believe I was the only one from this formation that he always called from Hamburg to Munich. Richters Music-making with the Choir The vitality and amplitude of sound of the Chamber Orchestra appealed to me from the very beginning. At a second meeting in Ansbach with the choir, I was fascinated by their liveliness and there was something else too that I had never experienced before, was the way that Richter, as conductor had to slow down the tempi of the choir. Sometimes he had to put the brakes on very hard so that the choir would not whiz off without him.

    Fidelio del 16 Dicembre 2014 Ludwig van Beethoven FIDELIO Personaggi e interpreti: •Leonore LEONIE RYSANEK •Florestan ERNST HAEFLIGER •Rocco GOTTLOB FRICK •Don Pizarro DIETRICH FISCHER-DIESKAU •Don Fernando KIETH ENGEN •Marzelline IRMGARD SEEFRIED •Jaquino FRIEDRICH LENZ Chor der Bayerischen Staatsoper (Chorus Master: Alfred Leder) Bayerisches Staatsorchester FERENC FRICSAY Data e luogo di registrazione: München, Herkulessaal, 5-7/1957 e Berlin, Jesus-Christus-Kirche, 9/1957 (Fidelio) e 9/1958 (Leonore III) Edizione discografica: DGG, 2 CD Note tecniche: registrazione perfetta, in assoluto la prima stereofonica della DGG Pro: direzione Contro: non significative Valutazione complessiva: OTT/ECC Quando nel mese di Giugno 1957 si riuniva il cast di questa registrazione, si realizzavano alcuni eventi degni di memoria futura: -era la prima registrazione stereo della Deutsche Grammophon -era la prima e unica volta che Fricsay registrava Fidelio in disco -era la prima volta che Fidelio veniva registrato con organico ridotto All’epoca di questa registrazione, il direttore ungherese aveva 43 anni e la sua salute era già profondamente minata dalla lunga malattia che l’avrebbe portato a morte di lì a pochi anni. Per questa registrazione di una bellezza profonda e inquietante, Fricsay scelse la versione definitiva di Beethoven, senza la Leonore III, che infatti venne registrata a parte e aggiunta solo dopo; il direttore pensava – non a torto – che la Leonore III fosse incongruente da un punto di vista drammaturgico. Tuttavia il brano è di una tale stupefacente bellezza ed eseguito talmente bene che merita di essere inserito in una registrazione in studio. È un Fidelio che si stacca dalla prospettiva post-wagneriana imperante in quei tempi: oltre all’orchestrazione leggera – cominciando proprio dall’organico – i tempi sono spediti, le agogiche alleggerite, c’è ovunque una souplesse notevole nella scelta di sonorità agili e felpate.
