1 Les Feuilles Blessées De Reynaldo Hahn Sylvain P. Labartette Un Troisième Enregistrement1 De La Totalité Du Recueil Des Fe
Les Feuilles blessées de Reynaldo Hahn Sylvain P. Labartette Figure 1 : Première de couverture du recueil – Heugel, 1907 Un troisième enregistrement1 de la totalité du recueil des Feuilles blessées nous est proposé dans l’intégrale des mélodies de Reynaldo Hahn par le baryton Tassis Christoyannis, avec au piano Jeff Cohen, produit superbement par Bru Zane (octobre 2019). Profitons de cette circonstance pour présenter ces onze mélodies, moins connues que bien d’autres, composées sur des textes de Jean Moréas, les appréhender plus justement et comprendre la démarche artistique de Reynaldo Hahn, ce compositeur qui a su chanter les vers des poètes contemporains auprès desquels il se sentait proche : Paul Verlaine, Sully Prudhomme, Jean Moréas, Leconte de Lisle entre autres. La date de composition (1901- 1906) suit de très près la parution des poèmes de Jean Moréas (1895-1905). Une même lecture sensible des deux artistes qui nous dévoile une vision plus ombrageuse en ce début du XXe… Une désespérance du Temps se décline ici : nous sommes loin des couleurs irisées d’une certaine Belle Époque… Fig. 2 : Jean Moréas par Antonio de La Gandara 2 Fig. 3 : Reynaldo Hahn - Photo - n. d. (ca. 1906) 1 En 1999 par Didier Henry, baryton, avec Stéphane Petitjeanau piano chez Maguelone ; en 2015 par Clémence Decouture, soprano, avec Nicolas Chevereau au piano chez Studio Passavant. Séparément, certaines des onze mélodies ont été enregistrées de loin en loin. 2 In Les stances de Jean Moréas, Éditeur la Plume (Paris), 1899. S. P. Labartette @ Février 2020 1 Le recueil Le recueil, édité 1907 chez Heugel3, fidèle maison d’édition du compositeur, réunit onze titres pour voix soliste, à la différence des trois précédents recueils, les Études latines, les Rondels et Venezia, qui comportent des pièces avec chœur. -
Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique. -
2018 04 21 Houghton Symphony Orchestra
Welcome to La vie est belle —“Life is beautiful!” Tonight we celebrate fun, love, joy, friendship, and laughter, and do so the French way. The first half of our program will feature our stunning vocal faculty at the Greatbatch School of Music. Though all of the pieces feature French text, the settings for these opera numbers span the globe with scenes taking place in Spain (Carmen), France (La fille du regiment), India (Lakmé), Germany (Les contes d’Hoffmann), and Sri Lanka (Les pêcheurs de perles). All of these pieces come from the best of the French opera tradition and are sure to leave you wanting more! The second half of the concert will feature Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, a gem of the 20th century choral-orchestral repertoire. Duruflé’s work was inspired in large part by his predecessor, Gabriel Fauré, another French composer who completed his own Requiem just over 50 years earlier. Duruflé’s work mirrors Fauré’s in many ways including its structure, choice of text, and performing forces. He uses harmonic language that was modern for its time, but infuses it with the ancient liturgical music of Gregorian chant. The work is not in the strata of requiems more casual concert-goers may know such as those of Mozart, Verdi, and Fauré, but for that reason I suspect you will be surprised and delighted by what you hear tonight, perhaps for the first time. I think it contains some of the most beautiful, affective, dramatic, and meaningful music I know. I decided to pair vocal pieces celebrating life with Duruflé’s Requiem— ostensibly a work about death—because the latter is something quite different than more traditional works from the genre of the same name. -

Regent’s Park Theatre and English National Opera present £4 music by BENJAMIN BRITTEN libretto by MYFANWY PIPER after a story by HENRY JAMES Photo David Jensen Developing new creative partnerships enables us to push the boundaries of our artistic programming. We are excited to be working with Daniel Kramer and his team at English National Opera to present this new production of The Turn of the Screw. Some of our Open Air Theatre audience may be experiencing opera for the first time – and we hope that you will continue that journey of discovery with English National Opera in the future; opera audiences intrigued to see this work here, may in turn discover the unique possibilities of theatre outdoors.

VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated Columbia pressings (1923- 1940) offer particularly fine sound. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments.

JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works by Nick Fuller I
JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works By Nick Fuller I. Introduction Jules Massenet’s operas made him one of the most popular composers of the late nineteenth century, his works performed throughout Europe, the Americas and North Africa. After World War I, he was seen as old- fashioned, and nearly all of his operas, apart from Werther and Manon , vanished from the mainstream repertoire. The opera-going public still know Massenet best for Manon , Werther , and the Méditation from Thaïs , but to believe, as The Grove Dictionary of Opera wrote in 1954, that ‘to have heard Manon is to have heard all of him’ is to do the composer a gross disservice. Massenet wrote twenty-seven operas, many of which are at least as good as Manon and Werther . Nearly all are theatrically effective, boast beautiful music and display insightful characterisation and an instinct for dramatic and psychological truth. In recent decades, Massenet’s work has regained popularity. Although he Figure 1 Jules Massenet, drawing by Ernesto Fontana (Source: is not the household name he once http://artlyriquefr.fr/personnages/Massenet%20Jules.html) was, and many of his operas remain little known, he has been winning new audiences. Conductors like Richard Bonynge, Julius Rudel and Patrick Fournillier have championed Massenet, while since 1990 a biennial Massenet festival has been held in his birthplace, Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, its mission to rediscover Massenet’s operas. His work has been performed in the world’s major opera houses under the baton of conductors Thomas Beecham, Colin Davis, Charles Mackerras, Michel Plasson, Riccardo Chailly and Antonio Pappano, and sung by Joan Sutherland, José van Dam, Frederica von Stade, Nicolai Gedda, Roberto Alagna, Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Plácido Domingo.
