Born Irmendgard Gallenkamp, her professional name was likely constructed to be reminiscent of Amelita Galli-Curci, who had, for all practical purposes, retired as Galli-Campi’s career ascended. She appeared once with the Metropolitan Opera in 1938 on tour in Cleveland as Gilda in Rigoletto , following “considerable experience in Europe”, and was reported to have been given a four-minute ovation after “Caro nome”. Her failure to have received subsequent engagements by the Met could possibly have been a result of pressure from the Met’s reigning coloratura at the time, Lily Pons. As a composer, Galli-Campi’s opera Air Castles , completed in 1935, was presented at the opening of the New York World’s Fair in 1940. During the 1930s and ‘40s she was often heard on the radio and toured as a concert singer as well. Later she taught, one of her pupils having been actor/singer Joel Grey. She never recorded commercially. -Some details above from Victoria Etnier-Villamel’s book, “From Johnson’s Kids to Lemonade Opera”. 3434. 12” Universial Full-Range Acetate.

  • Georges Thill « Aux Bords Lointains Dont Nul Mortel N’Approche… »
    1 Je crois entendre encore… Georges Thill « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche… » J’ai intitulé la causerie d’aujourd’hui : « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche », d’abord parce qu’il s’agit d’un hommage au ténor Georges Thill et que ces quelques mots disent les sommets interprétatifs dont je voudrais vous donner aujourd’hui un modeste écho. Echo qui, comme notre déclaration d’amour à Victoria de Los Angeles, il y a deux semaines, va, je l’espère, nous faire rêver mais aussi, je le crains, sonner le glas lugubre d’un certain art du chant, d’une école française de chant dont la gloire, universelle au tournant du XXème siècle, n’est plus à présent qu’un souvenir évanescent. Certes le vaillant Roberto Alagna, Benjamin Berheim et une théorie de magnifiques cantatrices, actrices autant que chanteuses, tous aguerris à des techniques jadis négligées, me font mentir. Mais Georges Thill, dans les témoignages sonores qu’il nous a laissés, dénonce la pénurie de grandes pointures – soprano dramatique et ténor héroïque – qui rendent si problématique toute programmation wagnérienne. « Aux bords lointains dont nul mortel n’approche… », c’est aussi pour moi un souvenir d’enfance. Je ne suis pas si vieux que je n’ai toujours connu le microsillon, désormais baptisé vinyle, quand nous disions 33 tours ou 30 cm, parce qu’il existait aussi des 25 cm. Mais, comme dans les familles rien ne se perd, il n’était pas rare de tomber, dans les années soixante, sur des piles de « vieux » 78 tours, lourds et raides.

  • 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.

  • A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E
    A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E. Webb INTRODUCTION hat do Ulysses S. Grant, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Susan B. Anthony, Will Rogers, Ethel Barrymore, and Dr. \Verner Von Braun haye in common"? They were W among the hundreds of famous people that have visited EmpOria, Kansas during the past one hundred years. In­ dividuals and groups of national and international fame, represen­ ting the arts, seiencl's. education, politics, and entertainment, have pa~sed before Emporia audiences in a century long parade. Since 1879, this formidable array of personalities has provided informa­ tion and entertainment to Emporia citizens at an average rate of once eaeh fifteen days, The occasional appearanee of a famous personality in a small city may well be considered a matter of historical coineidence. When, however, such visits are numbered in the hundreds, arc fre­ quent, and persist for a century, it appears reasonable to rank the phenomenon as an important part of that eity's cultural heritage. Emporia, although located in the interior plains, never ae­ cepted the role of being an isolated community. It seems that the (own's pioneers eonsidered themselves not on the frontier fringi'" of America, but strategically situated near its heart. From the town's beginning, its inhabitants indicated an intention of being informed and participating members of the national and world communities. To better understand why Emporia was able to attract so many distinguished guests, a brief examination of its early development is required. In the formative years of the city's history wc may identify some of the events, attitudes, and preparations Ihat literally set the stage for a procession of renowned visitors.

  • El Camino De Verdi Al Verismo: La Gioconda De Ponchielli the Road of Verdi to Verism: La Gioconda De Ponchielli
    Revista AV Notas, Nº8 ISSN: 2529-8577 Diciembre, 2019 EL CAMINO DE VERDI AL VERISMO: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI THE ROAD OF VERDI TO VERISM: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI Joaquín Piñeiro Blanca Universidad de Cádiz RESUMEN Con Giuseppe Verdi se amplificaron y superaron los límites del Bel Canto representado, fundamentalmente, por Rossini, Bellini y Donizetti. Se abrieron nuevos caminos para la lírica italiana y en la evolución que terminaría derivando en la eclosión del Verismo que se articuló en torno a una nutrida generación de autores como Leoncavallo, Mascagni o Puccini. Entre Verdi y la Giovane Scuola se situaron algunos compositores que constituyeron un puente entre ambos momentos creativos. Entre ellos destacó Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886), profesor de algunos de los músicos más destacados del Verismo y autor de una de las óperas más influyentes del momento: La Gioconda (1876-1880), estudiada en este artículo en sus singularidades formales y de contenido que, en varios aspectos, hacen que se adelante al modelo teórico verista. Por otra parte, se estudian también cuáles son los elementos que conserva de los compositores italianos precedentes y las influencias del modelo estético francés, lo que determina que la obra y su compositor sean de complicada clasificación, aunque habitualmente se le identifique incorrectamente con el Verismo. Palabras clave: Ponchielli; Verismo; Giovane Scuola; ópera; La Gioconda; Italia ABSTRACT With Giuseppe Verdi, the boundaries of Bel Canto were amplified and exceeded, mainly represented by Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. New paths were opened for the Italian lyric and in the evolution that would end up leading to the emergence of Verismo that was articulated around a large generation of authors such as Leoncavallo, Mascagni or Puccini.

ADELINA AGOSTINELLI [s]. Bergamo, 1882-Buenos Aires, 1954. A student in Milan of Giuseppe Quiroli, whom she later married, Agostinelli made her debut in Pavia, 1903, as Giordano’s Fedora. She appeared with success in South America, Russia, Spain, England and her native Italy and was on the roster of the Hammerstein Manhattan Opera, 1908-10. One New York press notice indicates that her rendering of the “Suicidio” from La Gioconda on a Manhattan Sunday night concert “kept her busy bowing in recognition to applause for three or four minutes”. At La Scala she was cast with Battistini in Simon Boccanegra and created for that house in 1911 the Marschallin in their first Rosenkavalier. Her career continued into the mid-1920s when she retired to Buenos Aires and taught. 4113. Edison BA 28159. LA TRAVIATA: Addio del passato (Verdi). ReproB/T.
