  • 1. Early Years: Maria Before La Callas 2. Metamorphosis
    ! 1. EARLY YEARS: MARIA BEFORE LA CALLAS Maria Callas was born in New York on 2nd December 1923, the daughter of Greek parents. Her name at birth was Maria Kalogeropoulou. When she was 13 years old, her parents separated. Her mother, who was ambitious for her daughter’s musical talent, took Maria and her elder sister to live in Athens. There Maria made her operatic debut at the age of just 15 and studied with Elvira de Hidalgo, a Spanish soprano who had sung with Enrico Caruso. Maria, an intensely dedicated student, began to develop her extraordinary potential. During the War years in Athens the young soprano sang such demanding operatic roles as Tosca and Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio. In 1945, Maria returned to the USA. She was chosen to sing Turandot for the inauguration of a prestigious new opera company in Chicago, but it went bankrupt before the opening night. Yet fate turned out to be on Maria’s side: she had been spotted by the veteran Italian tenor, Giovanni Zenatello, a talent scout for the opera festival at the Verona Arena. Callas made her Italian debut there in 1947, starring in La Gioconda by Ponchielli. Her conductor, Tullio Serafin, was to become a decisive force in her career. 2. METAMORPHOSIS After Callas’ debut at the Verona Arena, she settled in Italy and married a wealthy businessman, Giovanni Battista Meneghini. Her influential conductor from Verona, Tullio Serafin, became her musical mentor. She began to make her name in grand roles such as Turandot, Aida, Norma – and even Wagner’s Isolde and Brünnhilde – but new doors opened for her in 1949 when, at La Fenice opera house in Venice, she replaced a famous soprano in the delicate, florid role of Elvira in Bellini’s I puritani.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • Philosophy and Music CVSP 295X
    Philosophy and Music CVSP 295X This course intends to couple specific philosophical texts and concepts with related musical works, topics and styles (actual listening to music and viewing various operas and performances). Comparisons will as well cover material pertaining to artistic means besides music, such as sculpture, dance, theatre, cinema, literature and architecture. Although music, as artistic form will be the main focus, the course shall try to relate art in general and philosophy. The students shall learn to relate to philosophy not only intellectually or conceptually, but also esthetically; in a way, it will be a ludic (but serious) way to “philosophize”. On the other hand, they will be enticed to perceive art as an essential, profound element of human existence, rather than as mere entertainment. An effort will be made to relate both art (music) and philosophy to historic and sociological context such ad wars, scientific discoveries, technology…etc. 5 different topics will be presented. An attempt shall be made at creating bridges between the various topics in the goal of synthesizing an overall panoramic view: 1- Bach/Leibniz and the Baroque 2- The Dionysian and the Apollonian 3- German romanticism 4- Kierkegaard’s stages of life 5- Artistic creation: the old and the new Literature: Hemingway, Heine, Rilke, Goethe, Novalis, Schiller, Holderlin, Merimée, Lou Salome, Anais Nin, Thomas Mann ...etc. Composers: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert, Mahler, Brahms, Schoenberg, Kurtag, Nietzsche, Webern, Ligeti, Berio, Xenakis, Boulez, Debussy…etc. Artists and performers: Kandinsky, Velasquez, Monet, Manet, Escher, Durer, Maurice Bejart, Pina Bausch, Pollock, Warhol, Klee, Glenn Gould, Maria Yudina, Maria Callas, Placido, Domingo…etc.

  • Performance As a Master Narrative in Music History
    Roundtable: Performance as a Master Narrative in Music History DANIEL BAROLSKY, SARA GROSS CEBALLOS, REBECCA PLACK, AND STEVEN M. WHITING The Editors or a Roundtable in this issue the Editors invited musicologists from various institutions to engage in an e-mail conversation with Daniel F Barolsky over the summer of 2012 to discuss the how music historians engage students with issues of performance in their classes. As Barolsky states in his opening essay “The music in our existing histories is restricted to past compositions, as mere museum artifacts. Yet the identities of the wonderful performers who brought these pieces to life (and many of whom we can still see and hear today!) are relegated to the liner notes, their presence and inter- pretive contribution repressed and ignored.” Are there ways we can enrich, transform, or adapt our teaching to focus more on a history of performance? Would such a change be more meaningful to our students, most of whom see themselves as young performers, rather than as young composers? What new questions, discussions, and course assignments would arise from such changes? The Editors invited musicologists who teach at a variety of schools (small liberal arts college, conservatories of various sizes and locations, and large state schools) to discuss the issue of teaching about music performance in music history courses and to share their thoughts and experiences about their work in this area. Daniel Barolsky began the conversation with an opening essay to which the panel responded by e-mail during the summer of 2012.1 Among the several threads that develop are questions about the choices for recordings of the score anthologies that accompany textbooks, the differences between teaching a survey for undergraduates and an advanced seminar, and teaching suggestions that address performance more clearly—such as 1.

Certain basic qualities of gender strongly resemble basic qualities of music —each is a kind of performance and each is intrinsically embodied. Starting from this fundamental tension-in-common, we will explore the binaries that constrain our thinking about gender, as well as the intersections of gender and music with sex, social class, and race through their manifestations in a range of Western European and American musics. Throughout the semester we will read and discuss foundational texts exploring relationships between music, gender, and sexuality, and engage in close listening and score analysis of selected musical works. The class will be roughly divided into Western art musics before the midterm and American popular musics after the midterm. !1 During the semester you will develop an individual research project. Research, methods, and analysis will be shared with classmates at various stages; at the end of the semester, you will present your work and engage in peer commenting on each other’s projects.

Their emotional charge, their documentary power, their immediacy and universality set them apart from other archival documents. Used well, they provide an asset for any financial institution. This volume features articles from 17 financial institutions in eleven different countries. Almost 300 photographs provide glimpses of institutional practice over a span of 150 years. The photographs reveal stories about staff members, office buildings, and money; and they tell us about fashion, cultural movements, financial and industrial innovation, poverty, gender, colonization, leisure, and much more. This issue is the first of a series, and part of a wider project to explore the connections between finance and photography. eabh would like to invite its member and partner eabh institutions to join in by contributing to the second volume of the series.

  • “Jewels Valued at $400000 Stolen from Caruso's Summer Residence
    easthamptonlibrary.org Item of the Week from the Long Island Collection LONG ISLAND COLLECTION | DIGITAL LONG ISLAND | EAST HAMPTON STAR ARCHIVE "Jewels Valued at $400,000 Stolen from Caruso's Summer Residence," The East Hampton Star, June 11, 1920 Whether or not you enjoy opera, chances are you're familiar with Maria Callas, The Three Tenors, and Enrico Caruso. Born in Naples in 1873, Enrico Caruso's career pre-dates the latter performers, spanning from 1895 to 1920. Being one of the first global media sensations of his day, Caruso appeared in numerous newspapers, books, magazines, and newsreels. He served as the lead tenor for New York's Metropolitan Opera for eighteen consecutive seasons in over 850 performances and was heard live on stage during the first public radio broadcast transmitted in the United States. In addition to this, Caruso produced over 250 commercial sound recordings, which helped to bring opera music out of the opera house and into the ears of the general public. As can be gathered, Enrico Caruso was quite famous and, much like his profession, drama followed him everywhere. In 1906, he was fined $10 for pinching a woman in the Monkey House at the Central Park Zoo. In 1910, an extortion racket known as the Black Hand sent Caruso letters demanding money while threatening to damage his voice or hurt his family. Fortunately, the perpetrators were eventually arrested. In 1918, Caruso eloped with Dorothy Benjamin, who was twenty years his junior. She was the daughter of Park Benjamin Jr., a patent lawyer and writer, who used to rent the W.S.

  • The Month That Mothers Made
    May | 2019 Creative M onthly monthly news from our creative side M ay THE MONTH THAT MOTHERS MADE For thousands of years, humans have found ways to celebrate the maternal people in their lives, going all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome who celebrated with large festivals in honor of mothers. Christians later celebrated with "Mothering Sunday" which later turned into a more secular celebration throughout Europe. Children would greet their mothers with gifts and flowers to show their appreciation of them. Though the American version of Mother's Day began as a different idea. In the 19th Century America, right around the Civil War, Ann Reeves Jarvis began The Mother's Day Work Clubs in order to help educate young mothers the proper care of their children. Later these clubs would be used to help promote peace between Union and Confederate soldiers after the war. In the 1914 Jarvis' daughter, after years of legislating for an official holiday, received this honor for her mother. Signed by Woodrow Wilson, the second Sunday in May was set as the official holiday honoring mothers for the sacrifices they have made. So with Mother's Day right around the corner, here are a just a few famous female artists, who during their time, were the feminine trailblazers that laid a path for our generation (though these are but a small number, we could only fit a few, countless others hold this honor): Painters: Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyster, Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Berthe Morisot, Suzanne Valadon, Barbara Hepworth, Jenny Holzer, Kara Walker.
