The other was in Hamburg. In 1923 Renner sang with the Vienna State Opera and 1925-26 at Salzburg as the Count in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. His repertoire was varied and he was also noted for his lieder and oratorio per- formances. Renner’s few records were made for Vox while he was with the Vienna Opera. 3822. 12” Blue acous.

Giuseppe was the younger brother of Vincenzo Reschiglian, a baritone who had a lengthy career at the Met. Giuseppe’s debut was in the title role in Marchetti’s Ruy Blas at Pordemone, 1895, continuing to be heard in various provincial Italian houses into 1905. He appears to have then temporarily ended his career, resuming it again in 1913 as Almaviva in Rossini’s Barbiere di Siviglia. He included several theaters in the Netherlands in his schedule from 1915-1918. The U.S. was a base for a number of his performances in the 1920s, including the Chicago Civic Opera and the Phila- delphia Grand Opera (where late in 1925 he was the leading tenor in Faust and Rigoletto). In 1930, Reschiglian appeared in recital in New York’s Town Hall, an unnamed reviewer in Musical America stating that the tenor was “adept in bel canto. His animated interpretations and ringing high notes won much admiration”. He was also with the Cincinnati Opera that year in Mascagni’s Iris and in Carmen, singing secondary roles in both pieces. The only recordings traced by him are the item below and four later sides for Fonotipia-Odeon (two released in the U.S. on Okeh). 9286. 11” Fonotipia 69369/69368 [XPh5264/5263].

She was later a guest at La Scala and she was heard throughout Europe as (among other roles) Marguerite in Faust, Nedda, Elisabeth in Tannhauser, Carmen and Aida, the last two somewhat surprising considering her voice on records. She was also successful in operetta roles. 9283. 11” Brown Odeon 34665/34851 [Bx1586/ Bx1182]. NACHTIGALLENLIED (Wilhelm Ganz)/ADELHEID RUBENS [s]. HAB’ ICH NUR DEINE LIEBE (von Suppe).

He was engaged by the Chicago Opera in 1921 and also appeared at Monte Carlo and the Paris Opéra. Ritch joined with Maria Kuznetsova in forming the Opera Russe in Paris, 1927, which continued AURELIE RÉVY through 1939.

    THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rebecca Mara Plack May 2008 © 2008 Rebecca Mara Plack THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 Rebecca Mara Plack, Ph. D. Cornell University 2008 In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between vocal technique and performance style through 165 audio clips of early Lieder recordings. I proceed from the starting point that many stylistic gestures are in fact grounded in a singer’s habitual vocalism. Vibrato, tempo and rubato are directly affected by a singer’s voice type and his physical condition, and portamento has long been a technical term as well as a stylistic one. If we consider these technical underpinnings of style, we are inevitably moved to ask: how do a singer’s vocal habits affect what we perceive to be his style? Does a singer’s habitual vocalism result in his being more likely to make certain style gestures, or even unable to make others? To address these questions, I begin by defining a vocabulary that draws on three sources: the language of vocal pedagogy, data derived from voice science, and evidence drawn from recordings themselves. In the process, I also consider how some Lieder singers distorted the word “technique,” using it to signify emotional detachment. Next, I examine the ways in which a recording represents the performer, addressing how singers are affected by both changing aesthetics and the aging process; both of these lead to a discussion of how consistently some performers make certain stylistic gestures throughout their recordings.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

Obtained and translated for CWIHP by Malgorzata K. Gnoinska. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/113673 Summary: Nowak reports on how the Chinese are using anti-Soviet propaganda at home and abroad to undermine Soviet influence and encourage possible coups. He notes that this is especially seen in Sino-Japanese relations and recent visits by Japanese politicians to China. Original Language: Polish Contents: English Translation Secret Telegram No. 901 From Moscow to Warsaw, January 21, 1974 Szyszko From Kowalczyk's conversation with the Deputy Director in the Far Eastern Department of Foreign Ministry – Dubrovsky 1. Recently, the Soviets have been increasingly following China's international activities. Its nature is becoming brutally anti-Soviet. [Chinese] are increasingly trying to involve various elements and centers in the capitalist countries, as well as those of the Third World. This is taking place in the U.S., Japan, and the FRG. The Chinese are reactivating the activities of pro-Chinese groupings in the communist and workers' movement (the latest example is the FRG). The main task of these groupings is to currently strengthen socialist elements in these countries and to bring about an internal coup, while at the same time to undermine the position of the Soviet Union and the CPSU. According to Dubrovsy, the Chinese are outright assuring the governments in some of these capitalist countries that these Maoist groupings will be loyal to the authorities and are not directed against them.

Dat. 12 gennaio 1946: “Chiarissimo Professore, la notizia della morte di Romualdo Pantini, mio vecchio caro amico, mi è giunta di sorpresa …Io devo a Pantini innumerevoli consigli se non altrettante reali collaborazioni. “Eliana” datosi al Teatro Reale di Roma, dopo l’estero, due anni fa, appartiene a queste ultime. Anche per “Sakuntala” egli mi è stato largo di suggerimenti”.

The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • [T] IMRE PALLÓ
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs FRANZ (FRANTISEK) PÁCAL [t]. Leitomischi, Austria, 1865-Nepomuk, Czechoslo- vakia, 1938. First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).
