    Sound Recording Reviews Wagner: Parsifal (excerpts). Berlin State Opera Chorus and Orchestra (a) Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra (b), cond. Karl Muck. Opal 837/8 (LP; mono). Prelude (a: December 11, 1927); Act 1-Transformation & Grail Scenes (b: July/ August, 1927); Act 2-Flower Maidens' Scene (b: July/August, 1927); Act 3 (a: with G. Pistor, C. Bronsgeest, L. Hofmann; slightly abridged; October 10-11and13-14, 1928). Karl Muck conducted Parsifal at every Bayreuth Festival from 1901 to 1930. His immediate predecessor was Franz Fischer, the Munich conductor who had alternated with Hermann Levi during the premiere season of 1882 under Wagner's own supervi­ sion. And Muck's retirement, soon after Cosima and Siegfried Wagner died, brought another changing of the guard; Wilhelm Furtwangler came to the Green Hill for the next festival, at which Parsifal was controversially assigned to Arturo Toscanini. It is difficult if not impossible to tell how far Muck's interpretation of Parsifal reflected traditions originating with Wagner himself. Muck's act-by-act timings from 1901 mostly fall within the range defined in 1882 by Levi and Fischer, but Act 1 was decidedly slower-1:56, compared with Levi's 1:47 and Fischer's 1:50. Muck's timing is closer to that of Felix Mottl, who had been a musical assistant in 1882, and of Hans Knappertsbusch in his first and slowest Bayreuth Parsifal. But in later summers Muck speeded up to the more "normal" timings of 1:50 and 1:47, and the extensive recordings he made in 1927-8, now republished by Opal, show that he could be not only "sehr langsam" but also "bewegt," according to the score's requirements.

    HISTORICAL VOCAL RECORDINGS ROSSINI: Le Comte Ory. Michel Roux, basso (Robert); Jeannette Sinclair, soprano (Alice); Juan Oncina, tenor (Count Ory); Monica Sinclair, con­ tralto (Ragonde); Ian Wallace, baritone (The Governor); Cora Canne­ Meijer, mezzo-soprano (Isolier); Sari Barabas, soprano (Countess Adele); Dermot Troy, tenor (A Young Nobleman); The Glyndebourne Festival Or­ chestra and Chorus; Vittorio Gui, conductor. EMI RLS 744. "The delicious Comte Ory," wrote Chorley in 1854, "has, with all the beauty of its music, never been a favorite anywhere. Even in the theater for which it was written, the Grand Oplra of Paris, where it still keeps its place - when Cinti-Damoreau was the heroine - giving to the music all the playfulness, finish, and sweetness which could possibly be given - the work was heard with but a tranquil pleasure ••• " He goes on to blame the libretto (by Scribe and Delaistre-Poirson) which in its day was indeed rather shocking, with Count Ory's "gang" gaining admission, disguised as nuns, to the castle of the Countess he is pursuing - male voices and all! The opera was rediscovered in the 1950's and enjoyed a real success at Glyndebourne in 1954. The recording was made two years later. The New York City Opera finally got around to Le Comte Ory a year or so ago. There are several obvious reasons for the neglect of this gem of an opera. Though the score is full of delights there is no Largo al facto­ tum or Una voce poco fa. The arias are brilliant but not sure fire. It is not a vehicle; the soprano and tenor roles call for virtuosity of a high order, but this is an ensemble opera and no one can take over the spotlight.

    Richard Tauber: An illustrated Chronology Fully updated and expanded, with a new Picture Gallery Daniel O’Hara With a Foreword and Afterword by Dr. Nicky Losseff and Marco Rosenkranz September 2020 Saltburn-by-the-Sea Dedicated to the memory of Richard Tauber Born: Linz, 16 May 1891. Died: London, 8 January 1948, and of John Marsom [1940-2018], my loving partner for over 46 years. Warning: Earlier versions of this work have been archived and pirated by other websites. The most recent update will always be the one found here: http://www.richard-tauber.de/wp-content/pdf/TAUBER-CHRONOLOGY.pdf Daniel O’Hara – Richard Tauber Chronology – Last revised: Sept. 2020 AUTHOR’S PREFACE I first became enthralled by the voice and artistry of Richard Tauber in my mid-teens through a 1955 BBC television showing of his 1936 film Land without Music. I soon began to collect his records and compile a discography, though my only sources then were Clough & Cummings’ World Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music (WERM) and old Parlophone Catalogues. In 1958 I became the youngest member of the recently-formed Richard Tauber Society, founded by Terry Griffin, through which I got to meet and corresponded with Tauber’s accompanist Percy Kahn and his widow Diana Napier, who served respectively as Society President and Vice-President. Early work on this Chronology began several decades ago in a series of notebooks. The information they contained was gradually transferred to a computer file, starting in 2007. This was added to and modified over the following years until a draft - still fairly sketchy - was considered extensive enough to post online in June 2011.

  • Wagner Society of New York a Centennial Tribute to Sir Georg Solti October 17, 2012
    Wagner Society of New York A Centennial Tribute to Sir Georg Solti October 17, 2012 SIR GEORG SOLTI, DAS RHEINGOLD, AND THE STEREO ERA Joe Pearce President, Vocal Record Collectors Society Photo by Allen Warren Sir Georg Solti’s 1958 recording of Das Rheingold is considered to be, even after over a half-century of the most stalwart competition, one of the very greatest operatic recordings ever made. Indeed, for many of us, it has an impor- tance out of all proportion to just its musical and interpretative merits, for it ushered in a new era of operatic record- ing in a way that perhaps neither Sir Georg nor the set’s indefatigable producer, John Culshaw, could possibly have envisioned. To understand its full importance, however, it is first necessary to look at the conditions obtaining for recorded opera in general, and for recorded Wagner in particular, up to the time of its issuance. And in this context we must also briefly examine the tremendous accomplishment of Sir Georg Solti, who not only conducted Das Rheingold but over seven ensuing years made possible the completion of the entire RING project: the first-ever com- plete studio recording of what many consider the greatest artistic masterpiece, musical or otherwise, of the entire 19th century. In a survey of critical opinion published by the BBC Music Magazine (January 2012 issue), the Solti RING was voted “the greatest recording of all time.” Richard Wagner’s music was always a problem for the early recording industry. Unlike, say, Giuseppe Verdi, most of whose operas were easily divided up into arias, duets, trios and the like, (those of a relatively short duration favored by three- to five-minute 78rpm sides), most of Wagner’s scores were through-composed and not easily excerptable.

Additional details of his visits to Ireland in April 1935 and Jan 1945 have also been confirmed. ● A new work has been added to the list of RT’s stage appearances. Morgen wider Lustik!, an operetta by Heinz Lewin (1888-1942), a boyhood friend of Tauber’s in Wiesbaden, who perished in the Holocaust, was performed at the Theater des Westens in Berlin in 1921/2. I thank Heinz Lewin’s granddaughter, Yvonne Mocatta, for this information. ● New photographs have been added, including two of Tauber’s grave, one attended by the youthful author, taken in March 1978.

  • The Career of South African Soprano Nellie Du Toit, Born 1929
    THE CAREER OF SOUTH AFRICAN SOPRANO NELLIE DU TOIT, BORN 1929 ALEXANDRA XENIA SABINA MOSSOLOW Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Faculty of Arts, at the University of Stellenbosch Stellenbosch Supervisor: April 2003 Acáma Fick DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature:……………………………… Date:………………………. ABSTRACT Who is Nellie du Toit and what is the extent of her career as singer and voice teacher? The void in South African historiography in respect to the life and work of South African performing artists gave rise to investigate the career of Nellie du Toit. Known as one of South Africa’s most illustrious opera singers of the 1960’s and 1970’s, who made her career exclusively in South Africa, she is regarded as one of the most sought after voice teachers. Her career as singer spanned almost three decades. As voice teacher her career of over forty years is still ongoing. This study traces her biographical details chronologically beginning with her youth years in a very musical family. Her full-time music studies took place at the South African College of Music in Cape Town, from 1950 to 1952. Here her singing teacher Madame Adelheid Armhold and Gregorio Fiasconaro, head of the Opera School, were influential in laying the foundations for her career.
