  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

  • Strauss' Four Last Songs
    Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs A discographical survey by Ralph Moore I consider forty-six recordings of the Vier Letzte Lieder here, which is a goodly number, but by no means the total of all of those released in the nearly seventy years since their premiere in 1950. A survey cannot hope – or even want – to encompass every version but I have tried to include the most notable and have deliberately missed out a few which I know to be less than premium quality but have also reviewed one or two in the “caveat emptor” category as best avoided (see also MWI review index). These songs feature frequently in lists of personal nominations for favourite recordings, such as in the BBC radio programme “Desert Island Discs”. They are not a cycle as such, but all deal with the readiness for death and emanate a sense of calm, resignation and even transfiguration; I quote unashamedly from Wikipedia: “Towards the end of Im Abendrot, after the soprano's intonation of ‘Ist dies etwa der Tod?’ (‘Is this perhaps death?’), Strauss musically quotes his own tone poem Death and Transfiguration, written 60 years earlier. As in that piece, the quoted seven-note phrase (known as the ‘transfiguration theme’) has been seen as the fulfilment of the soul through death.” They are amenable to successful performance by a range of soprano voice-types, from the mezzo- tinged soprano falcon of Jessye Norman to the light, lyric sopranos of Lucia Popp or Anneliese Rothenberger, and although one or two sopranos have come a cropper in attempting them, there are many more admirable and even superlative recordings than failures.

  • SOILE ISOKOSKI Im Gespräch (März 2003)
    SOILE ISOKOSKI im Gespräch (März 2003) "Sehr präzis, das mag ich" "Irgendwie muss man sich ganz naiv hineinwerfen": Soile Isokoski über "Cosi fan tutte" und sonstige heikle Opernfragen. Soile Isokoski ist die Primadonna der ersten Wiener Mozart-Premiere Seiji Ozawas. Mit ihrem glockenhellen, leuchtenden Sopran hat sie sich vom ersten Ton an in die Herzen der stimmverliebten Wiener Opernfreunde gesungen: Soile Isokoski, finnische Sopranistin, ist die Fiordiligi in der Übernahme der umjubelten Festwochen- Inszenierung von Mozarts "Cosi fan tutte" 14. März 2003 SINKOTHEK an die Staatsoper, die am Sonntag Premiere hat. Ein heikles Unterfangen, das gibt Isokoski zu: "Das Problem ist, dass das Theater an der Wien einfach viel intimer ist. Das hat gar nicht so viel mit der Größe zu tun. Außerdem hat die Staatsoper eine herrliche Akustik. Aber die Stimmung ist ganz anders. Und wir haben eine Besetzung zur Verfügung, die, glaube ich, besonders stimmig und schön ist. Außerdem dirigiert Seiji Ozawa, was für mich aufregend ist, weil ich noch nie mit ihm Oper gemacht habe. Im Konzertsaal sind wir uns öfters begegnet." Es ist Ozawas erste Wiener Mozart- Premiere. "Sehr präzis", so charakterisiert 14. März 2003 SINKOTHEK Isokoski das Mozart-Dirigat Ozawas: "Das mag ich. Stilistisch wählt er einen Mittelweg zwischen der altbekannten romantischen Gangart und dem neuen, von den Originalinstrumenten geprägten Klangbild." Isokoski, die sehr viel Mozart singt, hat mit beiden ihre Erfahrungen. "Ich habe", erzählt sie, "die ,Cosi' mit Originalinstrumenten für CD aufgenommen. Der Dirigent Sigiswald Kujken hat damals eigene Koloraturen und Übergänge für uns geschrieben. Voriges Jahr habe ich das Werk dann mit Colin Davis in Covent Garden erarbeitet, ganz romantisch, sogar ohne Apoggiaturen und jede neue Kadenz.

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.
