  • Gestalten Und Schöpfen
    Magazin der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien Jänner 2009 Gestalten und Schöpfen Staatsoperndirektoren und -dirigenten als Liederkomponisten Lieder komponierende Direktoren und Dirigenten. Was an der Wiener Staatsoper lange Zeit schöne Tradition war, erklären Ildikó Raimondi, Peter Matic und Charles Spencer im Musikverein zum Thema ihres Abends in der Reihe „Lied.Bühne“. Sie haben es tatsächlich getan – sie haben Lieder komponiert, und zwei von ihnen mit großem, ja mit größtem Erfolg: Gustav Mahler und Richard Strauss. Die anderen sekundierten mit mehr oder weniger bedeutenden Leistungen: Johann von Herbeck, Felix von Weingartner oder Clemens Krauss, Bruno Walter und Karl Böhm. In Herbeck, Weingartner und Krauss brannte noch das Feuer schöpferischer Begeisterung, obwohl die Hingabe an die musikalische nachgestaltende Arbeit des Opern- und Konzertbetriebs die Kräfte für selbständiges Schaffen nur bedingt freisetzte. Bei Krauss ging vieles davon in die Zusammenarbeit mit Richard Strauss ein, während es für Walter und Böhm bei jugendlichen oder zumindest frühen Talentproben blieb. Lebendige Tradition Einmal in der 150-jährigen Geschichte der Wiener Oper standen einander im Direktorium ein nachgestaltender und ein schöpferischer Künstler gegenüber: Franz Schalk und Richard Strauss. Anlässlich der Uraufführung der Oper „Die Frau ohne Schatten“ des designierten neuen Wiener Operndirektors aus Bayern am 10. Oktober 1919 unter der Leitung von Franz Schalk – eines kongenialen „direktoralen“ Ereignisses, das in seiner Bedeutung nicht mehr übertroffen wurde – schrieb der führende Wiener Musikkritiker Julius Korngold: „Es gibt keinen lebenden Musiker, der ähnliches vermöchte; aber wer brächte auch das Vorangegangene zustande?“ Unter dem „Vorangegangenen“ darf man neben den Opern von Richard Strauss auch die symphonischen Dichtungen, kleineren Konzertstücke und schließlich die Lieder bedenken.
