Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018
Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum. -

Una Fonte Ignorata Del Don Pasquale Di Gaetano Donizetti
Italogramma, Vol. 4 (2012) http://italogramma.elte.hu „sul fil di ragno della memoria” Gerardo Guccini INTORNO ALLO SCHIAFFO DI NORINA: UNA FONTE IGNORATA DEL DON PASQUALE DI GAETANO DONIZETTI Verso la fine del settembre del 1842, Donizetti, appena giunto a Parigi, ricevette dal direttore del Théâtre-Italien, l’influentissimo Jules Janin, uno schema di contratto composto di sette articoli. Il documento non faceva menzione al titolo e all’argomento dell’opera, ma specificava che avrebbe dovuto essere un’opera buffa e che i suoi interpreti sareb- bero stati la Grisi, Mario, Lablache e Tamburini. Si trattava di cantanti ben noti al compositore. Il suo sodalizio con Lablache e Tamburini durava da più vent’anni, quello con Giulia Grisi da più di dieci, e solo per il tenore Mario non aveva scritto alcuna parte. È probabile che alla firma del contratto (datato 27 settembre 1842) Donizetti, che era uso riferire il processo compositivo alle qualità vocali e recitative dei cantanti, avesse già individuato un argomento adatto allo straordina- rio ensemble nel Ser Marc’Antonio (1810) di Stefano Pavesi su libretto di Angelo Anelli. Proprio in quel periodo, il 28 agosto 1842, la popo- lare opera buffa era stata infatti ripresa al Kärntnertortheater. Wil- liam Ashbrook, nella fondamentale biografia donizettiana, osserva che “benché Donizetti avesse lasciato Vienna circa due mesi prima di questa riesumazione, quasi certamente sapeva che doveva avere luogo e ciò potrebbe avergli suggerito di usare il libretto di Anelli come pun- to di partenza di una propria opera buffa” (Donizetti. La vita, Torino, EDT/Musica, 1986, p. 247 n.). -

He was only twenty-four years old at the time. Based on Charles Perrault’s CENDRILLON of 1697, La Cenerentola follows a common girl who dreams of a happier life and a prince who seeks to marry the most beautiful girl he can find. Rossini’s plot diverges from the fairy-tale tradition and takes a more realistic approach, with an endearing and sensible central character. Director John Hoomes brings some of the magic spirit back by setting the farcical tale by the sea in his BEACH BLANKET BINGO -inspired staging.

Elisiramoreteacher V3.Indd
The Educator’s Guide to L’Elisir d’Amore By Gaetano Donizetti A companion to the Student Guide HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Opera offers a unique teaching opportunity, to explore the arts through many different disciplines including literature, art, history, and music. This guide has been designed to provide educators with suggestions on how to integrate the music and historical background of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore into the existing curricula. For applicable National Standards, please contact the Washington National Opera’s Education and Community Programs Department at 202.448.3465 or at [email protected]. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE The dress rehearsal of L’elisir d’amore will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. The Kennedy Center Opera House doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. Please plan to arrive early, as latecomers will be seated only at suitable breaks in the music, often not until intermission. Seating at Washington National Opera’s dress rehearsals is open. When you arrive, please have your passes ready to present to the ushers who will direct you to the area of the Opera House where you will be seated. The running time for this rehearsal of L’elisir d’amore is approximately two hours and 24 minutes, including one intermission. YOUR ROLE IN THE OPERA Opera is a collaborative art. It requires the work of many people including the director, designer, singers, orchestra, technicians, crew, and the audience. The audience is an important part of every performance. Your role is to suspend disbelief and imagine that the story enacted before you is really happening; to let the action and music surround you, and to become part of the show. -

Folge: Rossiniana Abbado entdeckt einen Belcanto-Meister für die Welt 15:05:1 2 0 Herzlich willkommen, meine Damen und Herren, zu einer weiteren Folge unserer Sendereihe über den Dirigenten Claudio Abbado. Heute: Rossiniana. Abbado entdeckt einen Belcanto-Meister für die Welt. 1 DG Gioacchino Rossini 2’21 LC 00173 “La Cenerentola” 479 0125 2. Akt, Temporale (Gewittermusik) Track 613 Evt. London Symphony Orchestra leicht anblenden Ltg. Claudio Abbado 1971 (= 2’21) I Fast so, als sei’s ein Stück aus Beethovens „Pastorale“: „Temporale”, die Gewittermusik aus der Oper “La Cenerentola” von Gioacchino Rossini; hier 1971 mit dem London Symphony Orchestra, dirigiert von Claudio Abbado. Und schon sehen wir, im Hereinkommen, worin das Geheimnis der Wiederentdeckung Rossinis – eines gemeinhin für gegeben hingenommenen und für zu leicht befundenen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts – von Seiten Claudio Abbados bestanden haben mag: Er nahm ihn ernst. So ernst wie einen ausgewachsenen Symphoniker. Er traute Rossini Orchesterfarben und Kompositionsstrukturen zu, die sich nicht in bloßer Unterhaltungs- oder gar Untermalungsmusik erschöpften. Abbado tat so, als sei Rossini kein Dutzendkomponist für eine ausgewählte Klientel von Spezialisten (oder gar Sonderlingen); sondern: ein Meister für alle. Und schon wurde er es. Und damit herzlich willkommen zu einer ‘Geniestreich-Sendung’ innerhalb unserer Abbado-Sendereihe. So zäh und über Jahrzehnte hin nämlich ein Häuflein Unentwegter und allerliebst besessener Rossinianer und Rossinisten sich für ihr Herzensanliegen namens Rossini eingesetzt haben mögen – und zwar durchaus mit Erfolg: © rbbKultur 2021 www.rbbkultur.de Claudio Abbado Eine Sendereihe von Kai Luehrs-Kaiser 25.04.2021 15.03 Uhr Im “Sturm” genommen – und deswegen die “Sturmmusik” zu Anfang dieser Sendung – hat doch wohl erst Abbado diesen Komponisten, den er ebenso aufwertete wie befreite.
