  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

    Ópera patrocinada por: Con el patrocinio de Iberdrola ABAO-OLBE ABRE LA 65 TEMPORADA DE ÓPERA DE BILBAO CON LUCREZIA BORGIA DE DONIZETTI, UNA HISTORIA DE LEYENDA • Grandes figuras en el dúo protagonista: Elena Mosuc y Celso Albelo, • Coproducción del Teatro Regio di Torino, Teatro de Bergamo y Teatro de Sassari concebida por Francesco Bellotto • En el foso, José Miguel Pérez Sierra al frente de la Euskadiko Orkestra Sinfonikoa Bilbao, 18 de octubre de 2016.- ABAO-OLBE (Asociación Bilbaína de Amigos de la Ópera) inaugura su 65 Temporada con Lucrezia Borgia de Donizetti. Este título sube a escena, con el patrocinio de Iberdrola, los próximos días 22, 25, 28 y 31 de octubre, quince años después de su última representación en la temporada bilbaína. Esta tragedia, basada en el drama homónimo de Victor Hugo, narra la historia de la conocida noble italiana Lucrezia Borgia. Para dar vida a los protagonistas de esta ópera considerada como uno de los títulos belcantistas por antonomasia, donde tanto el texto como la música quedan subordinados a la voz, ABAO-OLBE ha reunido a un elenco encabezado por dos grandes figuras de la lírica: Elena Mosuc como ‘Donna Lucrezia Borgia’ y Celso Albelo como ‘Gennaro’. La soprano rumana, una de las mejores sopranos belcantistas, y el tenor tinerfeño, reciente triunfador en Viena y el Metropolitan Opera House, han sido artífices de momentos inolvidables en las temporadas de ABAO, como su memorable actuación conjunta en I Puritani, el primer bis en el Euskalduna protagonizado por el canario en L’elisir d’amore y los bises de Mosuc junto a Leo Nucci en todas las funciones de Rigoletto.

THURSDAY–SATURDAY, APRIL 25–27, 2019 | 7:30 PM SUNDAY, APRIL 28, 2019 | 2:30 PM NEIDORFF-KARPATI HALL A warm welcome to MSM Opera Theater’s spring mainstage production in Neidorf-Karpati Hall!

  • The Verdi Requiem - a Partial Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore
    The Verdi Requiem - A Partial Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore The circumspect title of my survey arises from the fact that although over eighty recordings are listed in the Wikipedia discography (see also MWI Masterwork Index) it is not complete and there are probably many more circulating in the form of private recordings on what used to be called “pirate” labels. For instance, in my own comparatively modest collection of thirty-five recordings are a live Karajan performance from 1970 on the “Gala” label, the Naxos release conducted by Morandi and the LSO Live recording conducted by Colin Davis, none of which is included in that Wiki list. The Karajan recording is superb but, unfortunately, in muddy mono sound and while the Naxos double CD makes a good super-bargain “starter suggestion”, it is not as good as many of the recordings discussed below. Furthermore, I have discarded some dozen or so which I came to regard as “shelf-cloggers”, insofar as I had no desire to play them again, so I am able to venture an opinion and express some preferences but am by no means in any position to make definitive statements about “best” recordings, even if I desired to do so. Besides, individual taste in performers and personal convictions regarding how this work should be approached and sound will govern others’ choices; all I propose to do is provide some assessment of those recordings with which I am familiar. I have often encountered fellow music-lovers who have no taste for Verdi’s operas but still enjoy the Requiem, which is amusing as the work surely merits what some construe as the derogatory label of “Verdi’s greatest opera”.

  • Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera
    Verdi’s Un ballo in Maschera - A survey of the studio and selected live recordings by Ralph Moore Given the popularity of Un ballo in maschera, it is surprising how relatively few studio recordings it has received: only a dozen, considered below. I have added to those, for their worth and interest, five live radio broadcasts and two recordings of live performances. The most recent was recorded twenty-five years ago. I have excluded any not sung in Italian. It is performed and recorded under two guises: its original version, narrating the assassination of Gustavus III of Sweden and, recast to avoid the spectacle of a monarch being assassinated on stage, its adaptation under pressure from the Roman censors to a new location in Boston, Massachusetts, with the characters’ names changed accordingly; thus Gustavus rather absurdly becomes Riccardo, Earl of Warwick, governor of Boston during the British colonial period. Modern stage productions tend to revert to the Swedish setting but the only recordings below to do so are Karajan’s in 1989 and the live production with Pavarotti in Vienna in 1986. It is expertly structured, paced and balanced – close to flawless as operas go and nowhere as far- fetched in the action or as unbelievable in motivation as some others, as long as you make allowance for a bit of jiggery-pokery to do with fortune-telling and magic herbs. Its trio of main characters are credible and sympathetic; Riccardo/Gustavo is a likeable tenor-hero whose character is portrayed in some depth; he evinces the usual romantic ardour but also a sense of humour; Amelia is passionate and principled without being sentimentalised; Renato/Anckarström is not the vengeful monster of the type we see in Don Carlo in La forza del destino but a man wracked and tormented by the betrayal of his wife and best friend.

Although it is difficult to trace the origin of the French horn, it is generally accepted that it was developed in France during the 17th century • An outgrowth of the early primitive and the later sophisticated hunting horn, its value in the use of Fanfares was acclaimed during the reign of Louis XIII • It was also discovered that strange and wonderful musical effects could be had by inserting the hand in the bell • One of the first orchestral uses came in 1717 when Handel included the French horn in his score of the "Water Music" • The modern instrument embodies a main tube measuring approximately 7 feet 4 inches in length, coiled in circles and finally expanding into a widely flared bell • As the French horn lends its importance to the value of the modern symphony orchestra, so too does the trained and reliable insurance office develop a modern and sensible insurance program for business and personal accounts • We would welcome an opportunity to analyze your need for complete protection.
