  • Penderecki Has Enjoyed an International Reputation for Music That Blends Direct, Emotional Appeal with Contemporary Compositional Techniques
    CMYK NAXOS NAXOS Since 1966, with the composition of the St Luke Passion (Naxos 8.557149), Penderecki has enjoyed an international reputation for music that blends direct, emotional appeal with contemporary compositional techniques. The neo-Romantic choral work, Te Deum, was inspired by the anointing of Karol Wojtyla as the first Polish Pope in 1978. Although Penderecki’s recent choral works have tended to be similarly monumental in scale, he has written several of a more compact DDD PENDERECKI: nature, such as Hymne an den heiligen Daniel, whose opening ranks as one of the composer’s most PENDERECKI: affecting. This disc closes with two works for strings: the experimental Polymorphia from 1961, 8.557980 and the expressive Chaconne, written in 2005 as a tribute to the late Pope John Paul II.

    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs FRANZ (FRANTISEK) PÁCAL [t]. Leitomischi, Austria, 1865-Nepomuk, Czechoslo- vakia, 1938. First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

  • Penderecki’S Most Colorful and Extroverted [Pieces]’, the Credo Is a Sweeping, Lavishly Scored and Highly Romantic Setting of the Catholic Profession of Faith
    CMYK NAXOS NAXOS Described by USA Today as ‘one of Penderecki’s most colorful and extroverted [pieces]’, the Credo is a sweeping, lavishly scored and highly Romantic setting of the Catholic profession of faith. Its use of traditional tonality alongside passages of choral speech, ringing brass and exotic percussive effects marks it as a potent Neo-romantic masterpiece. Composed more than 30 years earlier, the short avant garde Cantata recalls the sound world of Ligeti and celebrates DDD PENDERECKI: the survival, over 600 years, of the Jagellonian University near Kraków. ‘Antoni Wit and his PENDERECKI: Polish forces are incomparable in this repertoire’ (Penderecki’s Utrenja, Naxos 8.572031 / David 8.572032 Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com).

  • Das Musikalische Zitat Bei Krzysztof Penderecki – Verwendung Und Wirkung
    Bettina Dissinger (Leipzig) Das musikalische Zitat bei Krzysztof Penderecki { Verwendung und Wirkung Die Verwendung musikalischer Zitate ist sicherlich keine Erscheinung, die sich ausschließlich auf die zeitgen¨ossische Musik beschr¨ankt; viel- mehr haben Komponisten auch in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten Zitate aus eigenen und aus fremden Werken in ihre Kompositionen integriert. So verwendet Mozart in der Tafelszene seines Don Gio- vanni drei Zitate aus damals h¨aufig gespielten Opern, zuletzt ein Zitat aus Le Nozze di Figaro, das von Leporello auf der Buhne¨ mit den Worten kommentiert wird: Die Musik kommt mir ¨außerst be- 1 " kannt vor!\ Dies ist mehr als ein kleiner musikalischer Scherz; erstens hat das Zitat von Figaros Arie Non piu` andrai in der gegebenen Si- tuation symbolischen, auf das folgende Geschehen vorausdeutenden Charakter, es erscheint als eine Warnung an den Leichtsinnigen\,2 " zweitens ist das Moment des Erkennens oder zumindest des Bekannt- Erscheinens wesentlich: Auch das Opernpublikum aus Mozarts Zeit wird die Melodie erkannt und sich durch Leporellos Kommentar nur best¨atigt gefuhlt¨ haben in dem Gedanken: Diese Melodie ist mir " nicht neu. Das habe ich doch schon einmal irgendwo geh¨ort!\ Eine gewisse Kenntnis des Repertoires ist also Voraussetzung fur¨ das Ver- st¨andnis des Zitats { ohne sie kann das Erkennen nicht stattfinden, und das Zitat wurde¨ ohne sie seine Wirkung der Erinnerung an etwas aus anderem Kontext Bekanntes verfehlen. Im Schaffen von Krzysztof Penderecki kommt der Verwendung mu- sikalischer Zitate ein besonderer Stellenwert zu. Musikalische Zitate werden hier nicht nur h¨aufig, sondern vor allem auch in ausgespro- chen vielf¨altiger Weise und mit den unterschiedlichsten Intentionen 1Im italienischen Original: Questa poi la conosco pur troppo\ ( Diese [Musik] " " nun kenne ich leider.\).
