  • Nous Voudrions Bien Parler Plus Souvent De L'opéra, Et
    REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 1st November 1846, pp. 538-551. Nous voudrions bien parler plus souvent de l’Opéra, et volontiers nous nous rappelons ces temps déjà éloignés où nous tenions, ici même, avec une si ponctuelle exactitude, les annales alors célèbres de notre première scène lyrique. C’est qu’au moins, à cette époque, la tâche en valait la peine ; pour un échec qui se rencontrait çà et là, on comptait vingt triomphes. Il y avait, en effet, un intérêt charmant, exquis, une curiosité rare et pleine d’intérêt à suivre, à travers ses fortunes diverses, cette restauration de la musique théâtrale entreprise avec tant de magnificence par l’auteur de Moïse [Moïse et Pharaon ] et de Guillaume Tell , et continuée ensuite, on sait comme, par Meyerbeer, Auber et tant d’autres, ayant pour interprètes des chanteurs d’un ordre supérieur, et pour public un monde intelligent, actif, habitué à se retrouver chaque soir, et (qualité inappréciable qui désormais semble disparaître de la sphère des arts) franchement et généreusement passionné. C’était alors le temps de Robert-le-Diable [Robert le Diable ] et de la Juive , de Gustave [Gustave III ], des Huguenots , de la reprise de Guillaume Tell , le temps de Nourrit, de Levasseur, de Mlle Falcon, de M me Damoreau [Cinti-Damoreau], enfin de Duprez. On conçoit qu’en présence d’un pareil état de choses la discussion sérieuse aimât à s’exercer, et le développement de ces esprits d’élite, de ces talens illustres, tous dans la plénitude de l’âge et de l’inspiration, offrait à la critique une étude des plus attrayantes.

  • La Actividad Concertística En El Palacio Real Durante El Período Isabelino
    CUADERNOS DE MÚSICA IBEROAMERICANA. V ol. 22 julio-diciembre 2011, 07-50 ISSN : 1136-5536 Mª E VA GARCÍA FERNÁNDEZ Universidad de Oviedo La actividad concertística en el Palacio Real durante el período isabelino Durante el periodo isabelino se desarrolla en los años cuarenta una importante actividad con - certística en el Palacio Real que alcanza su punto culminante en el año 1846, iniciando su declive a lo largo de la década de los años cincuenta. El acceso a los expedientes de dichos conciertos en el Archivo General del Palacio Real, así como a las fuentes hemerográficas de la época nos permi - te conocer la evolución de este proceso y establecer una diferencia entre “grandes conciertos” de gala y “pequeños conciertos” o “conciertos de familia”, de carácter más íntimo en los que partici - paban los miembros de la Familia Real. Palabras clave: Música s. XIX, Madrid, Palacio Real, ópera, piano, conciertos, reinado isabelino. A significant number of concerts were given at the Madrid Royal Palace in the 1840s, during the reign of Isabella II, reaching a climax in the year 1846, and declining in the 1850s. Access to the records of these con - certs at the Archivo General del Palacio Real, as well as the press of the period, reveals the evolution of this process and allows a differentiation to be between “large-scale” gala concerts and “small-scale” or “family con - certs”, of a more intimate nature, with the participation of members of the Royal Family. Keywords: nineteenth-century music, Madrid, Royal Palace, opera, piano, concerts, reign of Isabella II of Spain.
