L · ............. - ---------_._._._._._._.-------_._._._. _._._-----------_. --------:. Announcement ~¥::::;;::A:ri1 RATIFIED by its reception during three successive VISitS, and faithful to its promise to confine its activities to New York and Atlanta, Mr. Giulio Gatti-Casazza, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera Company, takes pleasure in announcing that arrangements have been completed for its fourth season of grand opera at the Auditorium during the week beginning April 2 J • The local management, as heretofore, will be in the hands of the Atlanta Music Festival Association, which has done so much to foster musical art throughout the South and make Atlanta one of the important operatic centers of the country. Four evening and three afternoon performances will be given as follows: Puccini's "MANON LESCAUT" in Italian on Monday evening, April 2 J. Verdi's "LA TRAVIATA" in Italian on Tuesday afternoon, April 22. Damrosch's "CYRANO" in English on Wednesday evening, April 23. Ponchielli's "LA GIOCONDA" in Italian on Thursday afternoon, April 24. Offenbach's "TALES OF HOFFMANN" in French on Friday even­ ing, April 25. Donizetti's "LUCIA" in Italian on Saturday afternoon, April 26. Puccini's "TOSCA" in Italian on Saturday evening, April 26. The foregoing list of operas speaks for itself. In preparing the reper­ toire Mr. Gatti-Casazza has sought to please all tastes. The public will have an opportunity of hearing opera in three languages, including English. Several new artists of the first rank will make their debuts before Atlanta audi­ ences, while a glance over the roster Qf stars will discover the names of eminent artists who have already won their way into the hearts of the South's music lovers. It is quite unnecessary to enter into further details as to the character of the performances promised. The Metropolitan Opera Company is a house­ hold word in Atlanta. Mr. Gatti~Casazza can only repeat his assurance that, as on former occasions, the full resources of this, admittedly the greatest oper­ atic organization in the world, will be utilized, and as far as physical condi­ tions will permit, the performances will equal in casts of artists, scenic splen­ dor, orchestral and choral support and every other detail, the New York pro­ ductions which have given the company its international pre-eminence . .. ---------_._._._._.-----------------_.------_._.---.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--------~ 0 1 1 10 GUlLlO GATTI-CASAZZA ARTURO TOSCANINI r-====-~~~-:------------------f----'" ·-----------------1 I I' The Company (Arranged Alphabetically An SOPRANI Mmes.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

    THE MARKETPLACE HOW WELL DID EDISON RECORDS SELL? During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued.

  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera

    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera

    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

ROCHESTER Thirty-first Season, 1911-1912 MAX FIEDLER, Conductor Programme WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIP- TIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1911, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.
