  • Frida Leider

    Frida Leider

    EVA RIEGER ie hochdramatische Sopranistin Frida Leider (1888–1975) wurde neben ihren Triumphen mit DVerdi- und Mozartrollen als „die“ Brünnhilde, „die“ Isolde ihrer Zeit gefeiert, ob in Berlin, London, Chicago, New York, Mailand, Paris oder Bayreuth. Die erste Biographie über die Sängerin stützt sich auf umfangreiche Archivrecherchen und geht auf Frida Leiders herausragende gesangliche Fähigkeiten eben- Frida Leider so ein wie auf die Problematik der Kunstausübung im totalitären NS-Regime. Sängerin im Zwiespalt ihrer Zeit Frida Leider sang unter Dirigenten wie Wilhelm Furt- wängler, Erich Kleiber, Bruno Walter, Sir John Barbirolli und Sir Thomas Beecham – und in Bayreuth, dem kulturellen Aushängeschild der Nationalsozialisten. Die Sängerin erschütterte das Publikum durch ihre ver- tiefte künstlerisch-geistige Ausdeutung der Wagner- schen Rollen, während der „Führer“ Wagners Werk und Leider Frida Leben lediglich für sein Weltbild instrumentalisierte. | Als „jüdisch Versippte“ ließ Bayreuth Frida Leider schließlich fallen, ihre Karriere zerbrach. Nach dem Krieg gab es in der Musikkultur keine „Stunde null“ – Opfer, Angepasste wie Widerständler dachten nur da- ran, zu musizieren und die Vergangenheit zu vergessen. Eva Rieger, Musikwissenschaftlerin und Buchautorin RIEGER EVA (bekannt durch Biographien über Nannerl Mozart und Minna Wagner), bis 2000 Professorin an der Universität Bremen, lebt in Vaduz und Zürich.

    Leider, Frida Mailänder Scala jeweils komplette Ring-Zyklen in italie- nischer Sprache. Im Pariser Palais Garnier wurde sie ab 1930 beinahe alljährlich zum Mittelpunkt der Wagner- Aufführungen. Ab 1928 eroberte sie sich beginnend mit Chicago auch die Vereinigten Staaten: Tourneen der dor- tigen Oper, später auch der Metropolitan Opera New York, führten sie auch nach Boston, Baltimore, San Fran- cisco und in weitere Städte. Am bedeutendsten Opern- haus Südamerikas, dem Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, feierte sie 1931 große Erfolge als Brünnhilde und Isolde. Auch bei den Bayreuther Festspielen war sie von 1928 an regelmäßig engagiert, und von 1933 bis 1937 gab es keine Ring-Zyklen ohne ihre Mitwirkung. Gastspiele führten sie in viele europäische Musikzentren wie Wien, Prag, Brüssel, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo u.a. Nach Kriegsbeginn 1939 reduzierten sich ihre Auftritte im Ausland auf wenige Gastspiele in Italien und der Schweiz. Orte und Länder Frida Leider debütierte 1915 in Halle/Saale, es folgten Engagements in Rostock, Königsberg und Hamburg. Ab Frida Leider, um 1935. 1924 war sie festes Ensemblemitglied an der Staatsoper Berlin.1927 und 1928 gastierte sie an der Mailänder Sca- Frida Leider la, 1924, 1925 und 1927 an der Waldoper Zoppot (heute Ehename: Frida Anna Deman Sopot in Polen). Von 1928 bis 1938 trat sie sie jeden Som- mer bei den Bayreuther Festspielen auf, von 1924 bis * 18. April 1888 in Berlin, 1938 jedes Jahr am Royal Opera House Covent Garden † 4. Juni 1975 in Berlin, in London. Von 1928 bis 1932 war sie zusätzlich am Opernhaus von Chicago engagiert sowie 1933 und 1934 Opern- und Liedsängerin, Regisseurin, Gesangslehrerin.

    Symposium Records Cd 1229

    SYMPOSIUM RECORDS CD 1229 The Harold Wayne Collection – Volume 32 EDYTH WALKER & HELENE WILDBRUNN Both of the artists in this volume sang across the contralto-mezzo to soprano divide; both are examples of the best Wagnerian singing in the period following Wagner's death and both followed careers predominantly in the German-speaking part of Europe. From the point of view of collectors, of each there is also a paucity of records. Edyth Walker's records were made at the very beginning of the century, at a time when the lower female voice did not reproduce particularly well, and, in addition, the repertoire she selected was not of the most popular. Helene Wildbrunn's career in the studio commenced in the difficult times of the end of Great War, with the ensuing unrest and inflation, and may well have been closed by the rise of Frida Leider. EDYTH WALKER was born in Hopewell in the United States in 1867. Her voice showed great promise and she studied with the famous teacher Orgeni in Dresden. She also took lessons from Marianne Brandt. After a concert in Leipzig she made her début in Berlin in 1894 singing the role of Fidés in Meyerbeer's opera Le Prophète. Her 1894 success was sufficient for her to be engaged at the Imperial Opera in Vienna. She first sang there in 1895 and in 1896 sang Magdalena in the Viennese première of Kienzl's Der Evangelimann. Most of her roles in Vienna were small and in the contralto-mezzo range. Apparently she and Mahler - he came to Vienna two years after her - did not get on very well with each other.

    The RING in Australia Wagner arrived in Australia (metaphorically speaking) on 18 August 1877, one year after the first Bayreuth Festival, when Lohengrin was performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Melbourne by William Lyster’s Royal Italian and English Opera Company. Melbourne in those days was the largest, most prosperous and most cosmopolitan of colonial cities, courtesy of the gold rush. The 1877 opera season also included Aida which was, at the time, Verdi’s latest opera. Lohengrin on the other hand was thirty years old and had long been surpassed by Tristan, Meistersinger, and the entire Ring, and yet how avant-garde it must have seemed to those Melbourne audiences. It was sung in Italian, with the principal singers coming from Europe and the United States. The music was under the direction of Alberto Zelman who, lacking a copy of Wagner’s orchestral score, simply took a piano version and orchestrated it himself. Zelman had arrived in Australia six years earlier from Trieste via India and, although he had conducted operas in northern Italy, it seems that he had never actually seen or heard a Wagner production. On his arrival in Sydney, he had joined the Cagli-Pompei Royal Italian Opera Company and toured the Australasian colonies, eventually coming under Lyster’s management. His son, by the way – also called Alberto Zelman – founded the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Soon after the Lohengrin performances, a local resident Emil Sander wrote to Wagner to inform him of this noteworthy event – a fact recorded by Cosima in her diary. The entry for 21 October 1877 reads: ‘He receives a letter from a theatre director in Melbourne, according to which Lohengrin last month made its ceremonious entry there, too.’ The following day, Wagner replied to Sander as follows: My very dear Sir, I was delighted to receive your news, and cannot refrain from thanking you for it.

    Book Reviews 189 by band personnel. Be aware, however, that this is purely a collection of data: there are no photographs or narrative descriptions of the bands (with the exception of a few notes on obscure musicians), and there is no listing of the instrume~talists involved in the recording sessions. A bibliography or references for background reading on the individual bands would have been helpful for non-initiates. Lamentably, the utility of this well-documented work is limited by the lack of indexes - of composers and lyricists as well as song titles. (Index listings of arrangers and film or show titles would also be useful.) The compiler admits to this shortcoming in his preface, but argues that assembling indexes was prohibitive due to the resulting requirements of effort, finance, and space, and he expresses the hope that one of his readers will undertake the task. This will be a necessary undertaking if the discogra­ phy is ever to be a usable reference tool, for individually searching the huge collection by hand is impractical. Much of the material listed here consists of little-known or even obscure songs from the entertainment factories of Nazi Germany. It is fascinating to trace the recording histories of these bands, as one tries to read between the lines to recognize how the repertoires changed to adapt to changing fashions and politics. Some groups still recorded numbers by Jewish artists in the early years of the Third Reich (though often for foreign distribution only), and some turned out kitsch or even openly propa­ gandistic recordings.

The best portions of the best sides from four “Z”-type shellac pressings were used for Act I, while Act II came from three “Gold” label copies (its earliest form of issue in America). WAGNER The original recordings were quite well engineered for their time, but their reissue history has had mixed (1813-1883) results. A recent, much-acclaimed restoration of Act I was pitched a semitone sharp and did not join several of the sides correctly, while EMI’s transfer of Act II cut music from the original recording in order to squeeze it onto a single CD. For these transfers, I have taken care to pitch each side accurately (the Vienna sides were recorded at a Die Walküre notably lower speed than the Berlin sides), and Act II is presented complete as recorded, with the small cuts in Acts I and II Wotan’s narrative and the Todesverkündingung scene that were present on the original release.
