Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

  • Beverly Sills, 1929-2007: a Beautiful Voice for Opera and the Arts
    20 April 2012 | MP3 at voaspecialenglish.com Beverly Sills, 1929-2007: A Beautiful Voice for Opera and the Arts AP Opera singer Beverly Sills, right, with her daughter Muffy, and her mother Shirley Silverman, left, in this Dec. 19, 1988 photo at New York's Plaza Hotel STEVE EMBER: I’m Steve Ember. BARBARA KLEIN: And I’m Barbara Klein with PEOPLE IN AMERICA in VOA Special English. Today we tell about Beverly Sills. Her clear soprano voice and lively spirit made her one of the most famous performers in the world of opera. Sills worked hard to make opera an art form that the general public could enjoy. She spent the later part of her career as a strong cultural leader for three major performing arts centers in New York City. (MUSIC) STEVE EMBER: That was Beverly Sills performing a song from the opera “The Tales of Hoffman” by the French composer Jacques Offenbach. Sills is singing the role of Olympia, a female robot who keeps breaking down while singing a series of high notes. This difficult aria gives a good example of the sweet and expressive voice that made Beverly Sills famous. 2 AP The Brooklyn-born opera diva was a global icon of can-do American culture with her dazzling voice and bubbly personality BARBARA KLEIN: Beverly Sills was born Belle Silverman in nineteen twenty-nine. Her family lived in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York. Her father, Morris, came from Romania and her mother, Shirley, was Russian. Sills said that her father believed that a person could live the real American dream only with an educated mind.

Because he continued to compose firmly in the Romantic tradition at a time when Debussy, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg variously represented the vanguard of composition, Rachmaninoff’s popularity has consequently not been as robust in the musicological community.

  • LIVE from LINCOLN CENTER March 20, 2002, 8:00 P.M. on PBS the New York City Opera: the Gershwins®' Porgy and Bess
    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER March 20, 2002, 8:00 p.m. on PBS The New York City Opera: The Gershwins®' Porgy and Bess The next Live From Lincoln Center telecast, on Wednesday evening March 20, will find us in the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center for the performance by the New York City Opera of The Gershwins® beloved opera PORGY AND BESS . As the years go by, this masterpiece of the American musical theater gains in stature and popularity, and it has become a staple in opera houses throughout the world. Our production is the one created to great acclaim by Sherwin M. Goldman in 1983 for Radio City Music Hall, based on his co- production with Houston Grand Opera which won Broadway’s Tony Award in 1976 for Best Musical Revival. John DeMain, conductor of the original Houston performances, will be in the pit, and the Production Director is Tazewell Thompson. The creation of PORGY AND BESS was not without its difficulties. In late 1926 George and Ira Gershwin were working on a new musical tailored for the specific talents of the remarkable British singer and actress, Gertrude Lawrence. After several working titles were abandoned, the show finally emerged as Oh, Kay. It became a solid hit. During the rehearsals for Oh, Kay Gershwin read a novel by the Southern poet, DuBose Heyward, titled Porgy. He sensed immediately that here was material for an opera, but Heyward informed him that the rights were unavailable, having been assigned to the Theater Guild for a proposed stage adaptation. It was Heyward’s wife, Dorothy, who had secretly made the adaptation for the stage.

  • JUNE 2016 World Premiere of David Hertzberg's “Sunday Morning”
    NEW YORK CITY OPERA RETURNS WITH THREE PREMIERES MARCH - JUNE 2016 World Premiere of David Hertzberg’s “Sunday Morning” at Inaugural New York City Opera Concerts at Appel Room in March 2016 East Coast Premiere of Hopper’s Wife at Harlem Stage in April 2016 New York City Professional Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas Launches Spanish-language Opera Series: Ópera en Español Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater in June 2016 February 22, 2016 – New York City Opera General Director Michael Capasso today announced the remainder of the 2016 season. New York City Opera will present three major premieres including the world premiere of “Sunday Morning” by David Hertzberg as part of the inaugural New York City Opera Concerts at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Appel Room on March 16; the East Coast premiere of Stewart Wallace and Michael Korie’s Hopper’s Wife presented at Harlem Stage in April 2016 and the New York City professional premiere of Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater in June 2016. Florencia en el Amazonas launches Spanish-language Opera Series, Ópera en Español. Michael Capasso discussed the season, “In continuing with my vision for New York City Opera, these three offerings of contemporary music balance the traditional Tosca production with which we re-launched the company in January. Historically, New York City Opera presented a combination of core and contemporary repertoire; this programming represents our commitment to maintaining that approach. The initiation of our New York City Opera Concerts at the Appel Room will demonstrate further our company’s versatility and goal to present events that complement our staged productions.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Frederica von Stade dated February 2, 2012. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
