Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

Beethoven 32 Plus
FREIES MUSIKZENTRUM STUTTGART FMZ Freies Musikzentrum Am Roserplatz Stuttgarter Str. 15 B e e t h o v e n 3 2 p l u s 0711 / 135 30 10 Die Konzertreihe im FMZ Saison 2008/2009 Die 32 Sonaten von Ludwig van Beethoven sind fester Bestandteil der Konzertliteratur. Immer wieder haben große Pianisten diesen Zyklus aufgeführt und auf unzähligen Schallplatten und CDs eingespielt. Bücher und Publikationen beschäftigen sich mit den Werken und den Interpreta- tionen. Und immer wieder hat es den Reiz, des Besonderen, wenn diese Werke wieder neu er- klingen. Als bekannt wurde, dass der österreichische Pianist Till Fellner sich für die nächsten beiden Kon- zertjahre diesen Zyklus als Projekt vorgenommen hatte, begann Andreas G. Winter, Leiter des FMZ und verantwortlich für die Programmgestaltung, als er Till Fellner dafür gewinnen konnte, diesen Zyklus, den Fellner auch in Wien, London, Paris, Tokio und New York spielt, auch im FMZ üeine Konzeption zu der Reihe „32 “zu entwickeln. Um die 32 Klavier- sonaten von Ludwig van Beethoven, deren erste 3 Abende Fellner in dieser Saison (weitere 4 A- bende in der nächsten) spielen wird, konnte Winter weitere namhafte Interpreten gewinnen, die Werke des großen Komponisten der Aufklärung in Zusammenhang mit Kompositionen von Schubert, Schumann und Brahms stellen werden. Paul Lewis wird die Diabelli-Variationen und Schuberts Impromptus D 935, der Geiger Erik Schu- mann mit Olga Scheps Violinsonaten von Beethoven und Brahms, das Trio Wanderer Klaviertrios von Beethoven und Schubert, der Tenor Marcus Ullmann in einem Liederabend neben „die ferne “Lieder von Schumann und Brahms und in einem Recital mit Mikael Samsonov, der frisch üSolocellist des SWR Radiosinfoieorchesters Stuttgart Sonaten von Beethoven und Schubert und Ben Kim, der dem Publikum bereits aus der letzten Saison in bester Erinnerung ist, mit einem Klavierabend Beethoven und Liszt interpretieren. -

Piano Trios Gidon Kremer Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė Georgijs Osokins
Piano Trios Gidon Kremer Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė Georgijs Osokins Beethoven Chopin A Gidon Kremer, violin Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė, cello Georgijs Osokins, piano 6 7 Ludwig van Beethoven Frédéric Chopin (1770 – 1827) (1810 – 1849) Trio for Violin, Violoncello, and Piano in C major Piano Trio in G minor, op. 8 arr. by Carl Reinecke after the “Triple Concerto”, op. 56 4 I Allegro con fuoco 10:56 1 I Allegro 18:44 5 II Scherzo 6:45 2 II Largo 5:07 6 III Adagio 6:13 3 III Rondo alla Polacca 13:56 7 IV Finale 5:38 8 Musik der Ewigkeit 9 „Für mich ist es eine Entdeckung, ein wahres Juwel der Kammer musik, auch wenn der Klavierpart – Wie soll es bei Chopin anders sein? – das Hauptgewicht trägt“ , sagt Gidon Kremer, überrascht und wiederum nicht von dem Klaviertrio, das im Werkverzeichnis Frédéric Chopins die Opuszahl 8 trägt. Das Tasteninstrument, das schon zu Lebzeiten Beethovens signifikante technische Verbesserungen erfuhr und permanent weiterentwickelt wurde, dominiert Chopins Schaffen klar. Kein Werk aus seiner Feder ist ohne Klavier gedacht, in den meisten Fällen handelt es sich um Solowerke, die singulär und in ihrer Beliebtheit bei Interpreten wie Hörern bis heute ungebrochen sind. „Seine Persönlichkeit ließ keine Zweifel übrig, regte nicht zu Vermutungen an, auch nicht dazu, seine Psyche zu ergründen, in die Tiefen seiner Seele einzudringen. Man unterlag ganz einfach Chopins persönlichem Reiz … Alles an ihm war voller Harmonie, das – so schien es – keines Kommentars bedurfte … und seine Haltung [war] von einer solch aristokratischen Eleganz gezeichnet, dass man ihn unwillkürlich wie einen Fürsten behandelte.“ – Franz Liszts Worte über Chopin fügen sich zum Klang seiner Musik. -
