Terry Wey, Considered One of the World's Best Countertenors by Fono Terry Wey, considered one of the world’s best countertenors by Fono Forum, is a recurring guest of the most prestigious Early Music festivals and works regularly with the most recognized conductors of this repertoire. He will begin his concert season 2021/22 with debuts at Bachwoche Ansbach, Haapsalu Early Music Festival (Estonia) and with Cinquecento at the Salzburg Festival. The renowned Freiburger Barockorchester has invited him for several projects, such as a revival of the Countertenor- Gala at Konzerthaus Freiburg on New Year's Eve, as well as a tour with Bach cantatas in March 2022. After the enormous success of Händel's Xerxes, he returns to the stage of Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf with a staged production of Bach's Christmas oratorio. Further concert invitations lead the artist – as a soloist as well as with different vocal groups – to Philharmonie Essen, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Musikverein Wien as well as to the Thüringer Bachwochen, Netwerk Oude Muziek Utrecht and Heidelberger Frühling. Terry Wey was born into a Swiss-American family of musicians in Berne, Switzerland, experienced a rich musical education as leading soprano soloist of the Vienna Boys’ Choir and went on to study voice with Silvija Vojnic-Purchar, Kurt Equiluz, and Christine Schwarz at the Konservatorium Wien Privatuniversität, where he also studied as a concert pianist. After winning several competitions such as the scholarship of the Migros-Genossenschaftsbund in Zurich or the International Kärntner- Sparkasse Wörthersee Music-scholarship, he started working almost immediately with leading Early Music ensembles such as The English Concert, Les Arts Florissants, Freiburger Barockorchester or Il Pomo d’Oro, under conductors such as William Christie, Thomas Hengelbrock, Marc Minkowski, Konrad Junghänel or Michael Hofstetter. He was invited to some of the most important venues and festivals, e.g. Musikverein Wien, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Wigmore Hall London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Lincoln Center New York, Suntory Hall Tokyo , Tonhalle Zürich or the Philharmonies of Köln and Essen. He has sung solo recitals at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, KKL Luzern and Styriarte Graz. On opera stage, he performed in a variety of different roles such as Oberon (Britten:A Midsummer Night’s Dream ),Rinaldo(Händel: Rinaldo), Ruggiero (Vivaldi: Orlando Furioso) orAngel 1/The Boy (Benjamin:Written on Skin) at opera houses such as Teatro Real Madrid, Theater an der Wien, Staatsoper Stuttgart or Théâtre des Champs-Elysées Paris as well as the Händel-Festivals in Halle, Karlsruhe and Göttingen. He has worked with stage directors like Claus Guth, Nicolas Brieger, Pier Luigi Pizzi, Pierre Audi, Luk Perceval, Balázs Kovalik and Floris Visser, but also with free improvisation theater groups such asNico and the Navigators orSasha Waltz & Guests. His appearance in the main role of Händel’sPartenope alongside Christine Schäfer was highly acclaimed at the Theater an der Wien (Christophe Rousset/Pierre Audi, 2009), as were his debut at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival 2010 conducted by Riccardo Muti at Felsenreitschule Salzburg (N. Jommelli:Betulia Liberata ), his interpretation ofArsamenes in Stefan Herheim’s immensely successful production of Händel’sXerxes at Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf (2013, 2015 & 2019), as well as his debut under Nikolaus Harnoncourt in Purcell’sThe Fairy Queenat the Styriarte festival 2014. In summer 2018 Terry Wey was the first countertenor ever to be invited to the Bayreuther Festspiele, for the world premiere of Klaus Lang’s der verschwundene hochzeiter. Terry Wey’s special interest in renaissance polyphony led him to co-found the vocal ensembleCinquecento , as well as working with leading vocal ensembles such as the Huelgas Ensemble, Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam or Weser-Renaissance. Apart from thirteen CDs withCinquecento (hyperion), his discography includes complete recordings of Steffani’sNiobe (Erato), Albinoni’s Il Nascimento dell’Aurora(oehms classics), Handel’sIsrael in Egypt (Carus) andFaramondo (Virgin classics), as well as two recordings of Bach’sB-Minor-Mass conducted by Marc Minkowski (naïve) and Václav Luks (Accent) and Pergolesi’s Stabat Materwith fellow countertenor Valer Sabadus (oehms classics).February 2017 has seen the release of his debut solo CD album Pace e guerra with Bach Consort Wien under Rubén Dubrovsky, by the label deutsche harmonia mundi.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

    CORO CORO HANDEL: Coronation Anthems Winner of the Gramophone Award for cor16066 Best Baroque Vocal Album 2009 “Overall, this disc ranks as The Sixteen’s most exciting achievement in its impressive Handel discography.” HANDEL gramophone Choruses HANDEL: Dixit Dominus cor16076 STEFFANI: Stabat Mater The Sixteen adds to its stunning Handel collection with a new recording of Dixit Dominus set alongside a little-known treasure – Agostino Steffani’s Stabat Mater. THE HANDEL COLLECTION cor16080 Eight of The Sixteen’s celebrated Handel recordings in one stylish boxed set. The Sixteen To find out more about CORO and to buy CDs visit HARRY CHRISTOPHERS www.thesixteen.com cor16180 He is quite simply the master of chorus and on this compilation there is much rejoicing. Right from the outset, a chorus of Philistines revel in Awake the trumpet’s lofty sound to celebrate Dagon’s festival in Samson; the Israelites triumph in their victory over Goliath with great pageantry in How excellent Thy name from Saul and we can all feel the exuberance of I will sing unto the Lord from Israel in Egypt. There are, of course, two Handel oratorios where the choruses dominate – Messiah and Israel in Egypt – and we have given you a taster of pure majesty in the Amen chorus from Messiah as well as the Photograph: Marco Borggreve Marco Photograph: dramatic ferocity of He smote all the first-born of Egypt from Israel in Egypt. Handel is all about drama; even though he forsook opera for oratorio, his innate sense of the theatrical did not leave him. Just listen to the poignancy of the opening of Act 2 from Acis and Galatea where the chorus pronounce the gloomy prospect of the lovers and the impending appearance of the monster Polyphemus; and the torment which the Israelites create in O God, behold our sore distress when Jephtha commands them to “invoke the holy name of Israel’s God”– it’s surely one of his greatest fugal choruses.

  • CHORAL PROBLEMS in HANDEL's MESSIAH THESIS Presented to The
    *141 CHORAL PROBLEMS IN HANDEL'S MESSIAH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By John J. Williams, B. M. Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1968 PREFACE Music of the Baroque era can be best perceived through a detailed study of the elements with which it is constructed. Through the analysis of melodic characteristics, rhythmic characteristics, harmonic characteristics, textural charac- teristics, and formal characteristics, many choral problems related directly to performance practices in the Baroque era may be solved. It certainly cannot be denied that there is a wealth of information written about Handel's Messiah and that readers glancing at this subject might ask, "What is there new to say about Messiah?" or possibly, "I've conducted Messiah so many times that there is absolutely nothing I don't know about it." Familiarity with the work is not sufficient to produce a performance, for when it is executed in this fashion, it becomes merely a convention rather than a carefully pre- pared piece of music. Although the oratorio has retained its popularity for over a hundred years, it is rarely heard as Handel himself performed it. Several editions of the score exist, with changes made by the composer to suit individual soloists or performance conditions. iii The edition chosen for analysis in this study is the one which Handel directed at the Foundling Hospital in London on May 15, 1754. It is version number four of the vocal score published in 1959 by Novello and Company, Limited, London, as edited by Watkins Shaw, based on sets of parts belonging to the Thomas Coram Foundation (The Foundling Hospital).

Geburtstag (geb. 13. Juni 1929) Foto: Kurt Equiluz Copyright: D. Bock Selbstporträt Kurt Equiluz Ich wurde am 13. Juni 1929 in Wien geboren. Schon in frühen Jahren kündigte sich eine musikalische Begabung an. Als ich im Alter von zehn Jahren zu den Wiener Sängerknaben kam und dort bald auch solistische Aufgaben zu bewältigen hatte, war mein Weg für die Zukunft vor- programmiert. 1944 begann ich außerdem mit dem Studium der Harfe und der Musiktheorie an der Staatsakademie in Wien, 1946 kam das Gesangsstudium dazu, das ich bei Kammersänger Adolf Vogel absolvierte. Noch während des Studiums trat ich 1945 in den Akademie-Kammerchor unter der Leitung von Prof. Ferdinand Grossmann ein, der schon zuvor während meiner Knabenzeit künstlerischer Leiter der Wiener Sängerknaben war. BOCK'S MUSIC SHOP Seite 1 Newsletter 2 / 2009 1950 wurde ich an die Wiener Staatsoper engagiert, an der ich bis 1983 Ensemblemitglied gewesen bin. Dort feierte ich vor allem als Interpret der Tenor-Bufforollen große Erfolge; als Don Curzio in ‚Figaros Hochzeit‘ war ich allein 154mal, als Scaramuccio in ‚Ariadne auf Naxos‘ 123mal zu sehen. Obendrein gab ich den Balthasar Zorn in den ‚Meistersingern‘, den Spoletta in der ‚Tosca‘, den Monostatos in der ‚Zauberflöte‘ oder den Rossillon in der ‚Lus- tigen Witwe‘.

  • Handel Israel in Egypt
    Israel in Egypt George Frideric Handel By: Michael C. Lister Israel in Egypt occupies a singular place in the history of Handel’s oratorios. While unique in concept and composition, this work has several characteristics in common with Handel’s most well known oratorio, Messiah, composed three years later. While there is no known librettist attributed to the oratorio, it is interesting to note that Handel had collaborated with librettist Charles Jennens on Saul just prior to beginning work on Israel in Egypt and would return to Jennens to shape the text for his next oratorio, Messiah. It is possible that Jennens influenced Handel’s choice to deviate from the dramatic libretto to a scripture-based libretto that makes no use of a conventional cast of soloists who portray key characters in a series of dramatic events, but rather allows the drama to unfold in a narrative form. The themes of Israel in Egypt continued to resonate in Messiah as well, with the people of God seeking (and receiving) physical deliverance in the former and spiritual deliverance in the latter. Unlike any other of Handel’s compositions, Israel in Egypt relies on choruses rather than solo arias to describe events and conditions surrounding the exodus of the children of Israel from the land of the Pharaohs. Israel in Egypt features the chorus more than any other of Handel’s oratorios, and uniquely employs a significant number of double choruses throughout the work. The expanded role of the chorus, the virtual absence of solo arias, and the unconventional libretto has led scholars to believe that Handel originally envisioned Israel in Egypt to be a series of anthems, similar to his Coronation Anthems, an idea encouraged by the composer’s choice to rework music from his Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline from 1737.
