  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual. Pavel CHESNOKOV Teach Me Thy Statutes - PaTRAM Institute Male Choir/Vladimir Gorbik rec. 2016 REFERENCE RECORDINGS FR-727 SACD The most significant anniversary of 2018 was that of the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy, and while there were fine recordings of his music, none stood as deserving of this accolade as much as the choral works of Pavel Chesnokov.

  • In the Wake of Wagner on Anders V
    REVIEW ESSAY In the Wake of Wagner On Anders V. Munch’s doctoral thesis From Bayreuth to Bau- haus: The Gesamtkunstwerk and the Modern Art Forms1 Anders Troelsen The following article is a (re)written version of an official opposition giv- en at Aarhus University. The other members of the assessment commit- tee were professor Thordis Arrhenius, Oslo, and professor Carsten Thau, Copenhagen. I The road of the total work of art as travelled From Bayreuth to Bauhaus is the subject of a monumental book written by Anders V. Munch (AVM). He explains the overarching project of the thesis as an analysis address- ing the historical-discursive dimension of the Gesamtkunstwerk: My investigation will chart and investigate the dream of the total work of art as both a subject of discourse and as an object of reflection, this goes to say, that I will only follow the phenomenon from the age of romanticism and see how it is inherited by the art of today. The specific works of art that can be re- garded as total works of art interest me less than the pure dream in all its pos- sible and impossible forms. When the use of the concept wanes I will also stop my pursuit of it. My examination is of a historical and conceptual nature and not so much an exercise in classification and analysis. My goal is not to bring forth and recognize total works of art in our present day, rather it is to track what became of them and in what form the mode of thinking is still valid.

  • Zdeněk Fibich's Opera Hedy As A
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, ISSN 2159-5836 October 2013, Vol. 3, No. 10, 617-628 D DAVID PUBLISHING Zdeněk Fibich’s opera Hedy as a “Czech Tristan” Between Wagnerism and Verismo Jiří Kopecký Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic Fibich’s opera Hedy (premiered in 1896) was received as a succesfull work, although many reviewers did not know how to call the prevailing style (mixture of wagnerianism, Grand opéra, verismo exotico, the second Don Giovanni composed for Prague because of reminiscences on Mozart’s dramma giocoso). It is not uneasy to find clear musical hints on Puccini in Fibich’s next opera Šárka (premiered 1897), but it was already in Hedy where drastic and geographically clearly determined subject was mixed with Wagnerian gesture of love extasy, which is everywhere and endless. Obviously, Fibich, as a mature artist, was able to connect rules of both Czech declamation and contemporary veristic fashion. This study tries to identify main stylistic features which shaped Fibich’s fifth opera, and analyses receptive expectations from the side of Czech audience and its influence on Fibich’s opera composition. Keywords: Zdeněk Fibich, Lord Byron, the 19th century opera Introduction Zdeněk Fibich (1850-1900) returned to opera composition at the beginning of 1890s after almost 10-years-long silence. Antonín Dvořák’s stay in USA strenghtened Fibich’s position as the most important Czech opera composer of his period. A. Dvořák as well Leoš Janáček intensively commented Fibich’s operas (The Tempest, 1894; Hedy, 1895; Šárka, 1896; The Fall of Arkona, 1899). For Hedy, Fibich took Byron’s “Don Juan” as a main inspiration, and elaborated the four-act libretto by Anežka Schulzová with rich chromatic musical discourse combined with the local color of Greece.

Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden.
