    CDs. L’OBRA DRAMÀTICA DE R. WAGNER. Qui és el director amb els temps més ajustats? Quin tenor ens colpeix més en la mort de Tristany? Quin ha estat el Gurnemanz més savi?........ Segons les respostes a aquestes i a moltíssimes més preguntes es pot confeccionar una llista de CDs o una altra. Una que doni més relleu a versions històriques o que reculli les més recents de manera que puguem escoltar els bons cantants actuals, que existeixen, sense haver de suportar les escenografies espantoses que avui dia es fan. O una mica de cada...... No volem ni podem ser exhaustius. A la xarxa trobareu més d0un lloc amb tot el que s’ha editat i totes les versions de les obres de Wagner.

  • A Partial Discographical Conspectus by Ralph Moore Tristan Und Isolde Represents Both the Highpoint of Roman
    Tristan und Isolde: A Partial Discographical Conspectus by Ralph Moore Tristan und Isolde represents both the highpoint of Romantic opera and the gateway to a new world of harmonic invention, epitomised by the famous “Tristan chord”. Despite its length and nearly insurmountable vocal challenges for its principal singers, it has established and maintained a central place in the operatic repertoire worldwide. For some, its popularity and appeal are inexplicable; they are likely to share Rossini’s verdict that “M. Wagner a de beaux moments, mais de mauvais quart d’heures” or, even worse, agree that, like Parsifal, Tristan "is the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20.” I for one am not such a purist that I become very exercised if a few judicious cuts are made in this work, but at the same time I do not find that it drags, as long as the artists performing it can rise to its demands and sustain the requisite intensity. If I follow the work with a libretto I am apt to think that not a note is wasted; the intensity of Wagner’s vision is all-consuming if the listener can sustain concentration and be swept along by those glorious, through-composed melodies. I know of few more searingly dramatic moments in opera than “Er sah mir in die Augen” or “Rette dich, Tristan!”; this is grown-up music, devoid of stock gestures and tired platitudes, which instead explores the complexities of adult sexuality and relationships in the most extraordinarily subtle and profound manner, both musically and psychologically.

  • Awards Program from the Co-Chairs of National Philanthropy Day 202O
    AWARDS PROGRAM FROM THE CO-CHAIRS OF NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY 202O Welcome Welcome to our 35th annual National Philanthropy Day. When we started planning this beloved tradition, we had no idea that this event would need to be re-imagined. Yet here we are doing our first virtual celebration of the amazing philanthropists and fundraising professionals who have made such an important impact on the Bay Area. We strived to make today’s event meaningful and memorable in a new way as it feels to many of us, now more than ever, the need to connect as a community and honor those who bring us hope for a brighter tomorrow. Today’s program could not have been possible without the active participation of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Golden Gate Chapter Board of Directors and our National Philanthropy Day committees, and the generous financial support from our sponsors. Together, with the help of Leftwich Event Specialists, Hovercast, our Chapter Administrators Sabrina Ritchie and Andrea Hoar, and our graphic designer, Vicki Valentine, we have a special program that carries on the tradition of National Philanthropy Day. Special gratitude goes to our emcee Renel Brooks-Moon who is such a force in the community, and we are honored to have involved with this celebration. Normally we would ask each individual involved to stand to be thanked. Given that we are not able to physically stand together, we ask that you look at the list of our volunteers in the program (page 37), as well as the sponsors of today’s event (pages 5 and 6), and join us in a virtual round of applause.
