JUNE 2014 LIST See Inside for Valid Dates tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 JUNE 2014 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer, 11th June sees the 150th anniversary of the birth of Richard Strauss and we have already seen a good sprinkling of new releases and re-issues appear in celebration this year. Thielemann’s new Elektra for DG is probably the highest-profile release this month, featuring a magnificent cast that includes Rene Pape and Anne Schwanewilms. Sadly, we hadn’t yet managed to obtain a preview copy at the time of going to print, but it certainly looks very promising! DG are also issuing a deluxe LP-sized boxset of Karajan’s analogue Strauss recordings this month that will feature 11 CDs, plus the entire contents on a single Blu-ray Audio. As is the trend at the moment, it will be a limited edition set packed full of extra material including photos and original liner notes. See p.2 for more information. Continuing with the Strauss theme, you may also like to take a look at the listing we have compiled of recordings from various independent labels. This covers 3½ pages (pp.10-13) and features some truly great titles. A good opportunity to fill in gaps in the library! Away from Strauss, other things to point out are a further batch of Most Wanted Recitals from Decca, featuring wonderful discs from the likes of Siepi, Nilsson, Souzay, Carreras etc. Harmonia Mundi are issuing another 10 titles in their HM Gold series - top recordings moved from their full-price catalogue down to mid-price. You will also find a special offer the HM Gold back catalogue on p.13. Other new special offers include Hyperion Helios (from just £4.50 each!), Walhall for the historical opera lovers, Onyx and Newton catalogues both reduced by 30%, and finally a list of DVDs from Warner and Erato with up to 45% discount. Plenty to be going on with as we move into the summer months! We hope you all find something to take your fancy. Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35!

  • Nancy Opéra Passion, a Réservé Au Public Cette Surprise Renouant Avec Les Fastes D’Un Passé Pas Si Lointain
    "Forum Opéra" Splendeurs à la Cour des Ducs de Lorraine La tradition lyrique de la Cité des Ducs de Lorraine est installée depuis des lustres et bien des Nancéiens se souviennent encore - et en conservent précieusement les programmes - de fabuleuses saisons lyriques des années 50, où un spectacle nouveau était monté chaque semaine ! Il n’était pas rare d’assiter alors, pour ne citer que deux titres, aussi bien au Postillon de Longjumeau d’Adolphe Adam, qu’à La Poupée d’Edmond Audran. Les années passant, la Ville n’a pu conserver un tel renouvellement dans la magie d’opéra qu’elle réservait à son public mais elle continua à le régaler de spectacles de grande qualité, servis par des artistes de renommée nationale et internationale. Il était en effet monnaie courante d’entendre ceux pour lesquels on ajoutait alors, après leur nom, « de l’Opéra », signifiant qu’ils étaient les glorieux pensionnaires de l’Opéra de Paris, comme Mado Robin, Jacqueline Brumaire, Régine Crespin, Guy Chauvet, Henri Legay, Michel Dens, Gabriel Baquier, Alain Vanzo… L’Opéra de Nancy s’ouvrit également aux grands noms internationaux et l’on retrouvait régulièrement Piero Cappuccilli, Rolando Panerai, Nicola Rossi Lemeni, Sesto Bruscantini, Paolo Montarsolo, Ruggero Raimondi, Fedora Barbieri, côtoyant des artistes venus d’Europe et même d’Asie. Quelques grands parmi les grands passèrent parfois à Nancy, comme Lucia Valentini Terrani et, pour dérouler un tapis rouge à José Cura, grand Interprète d‘aujourd’hui, ses illustres devanciers-ténors : Giacomo Lauri Volpi, Luis Mariano et Carlo Bergonzi. Il était temps que le public encourageât son Opéra et vers la fin des années 60, naissait la première association promouvant conférences et brochures destinées à présenter les ouvrages à l’affiche de la saison lyrique, ainsi que de sympathiques réceptions des artistes, approchés par tous.

  • The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years Of
    Press release | 30/3/2017 | acr | Updated: July 2017 The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years of the Future of Opera 10 premieres for this major birthday, two of which are reencounters with titles of legendary Felsenstein productions, two are world premieres and four are operatic milestones of the 20 th century. 70 years ago, Walter Felsenstein founded the Komische Oper as a place where musical theatre makers were not content to rest on the laurels of opera’s rich traditions, but continually questioned it in terms of its relevance and sustainability. In our 2017/18 anniversary season, together with their team, our Intendant and Chefregisseur Barrie Kosky and the Managing Director Susanne Moser are putting this aim into practice once again by way of a diverse program – with special highlights to celebrate our 70 th birthday. From Baroque opera to operettas and musicals, the musical milestones of 20 th century operatic works, right through to new premieres of operas for children, with works by Georg Friedrich Handel through to Philip Glass, from Jacques Offenbach to Jerry Bock, from Claude Debussy to Dmitri Shostakovich, staged both by some of the most distinguished directors of our time as well as directorial newcomers. New Productions Our 70 th birthday will be celebrated not just with a huge birthday cake on 3 December, but also with two anniversary productions. Two works which enjoyed great success as legendary Felsenstein productions are returning in new productions. Barrie Kosky is staging Jerry Brock’s musical Fiddler on the Roof , with Max Hopp/Markus John and Dagmar Manzel in the lead roles, and the magician of the theatre, Stefan Herheim, will present Jacques Offenbach’s operetta Barbe- bleue in a new, German and French version.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Schreker's Die Gezeichneten
    "A Superabundance of Music": Reflections on Vienna, Italy and German Opera, 1912-1918 Robert Blackburn I Romain Rolland's remark that in Germany there was too much music 1 has a particular resonance for the period just before and just after the First World War. It was an age of several different and parallel cultural impulses, with the new forces of Expressionism running alongside continuing fascination with the icons and imagery ofJugendstil and neo-rornanticism, the haunting conservative inwardness of Pfitzner's Palestrina cheek by jowl with rococo stylisation (Der Rosenkavalier and Ariadne auf Naxos) and the search for a re- animation of the commedia dell'arte (Ariadne again and Busoni's parodistic and often sinister Arlecchino, as well es Pierrot Lunaire and Debussy's Cello Sonata). The lure of new opera was paramount and there seemed to be no limit to the demand and market in Germany. Strauss's success with Salome after 1905 not only enable him to build a villa at Garmisch, but created a particular sound-world and atmosphere of sultriness, obsession and irrationalism which had a profound influence on the time. It was, as Strauss observed, "a symphony in the medium of drama, and is psychological like all music". 2 So, too, was Elektra, though this was received more coolly at the time by many. The perceptive Paul Bekker (aged 27 in 1909) was among the few to recognise it at once for the masterpiece it is.3 In 1911 it was far from clear that Del' Rosenkavalier would become Strauss' and Hofinannsthal's biggest commercial success, nor in 1916 that Ariadne all! Naxos would eventually be described as their most original collaboration.' 6 Revista Musica, Sao Paulo, v.5, n.
