  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up Convenient terms.

    Synopsis Act I Mythical times. Pursued by enemies during a storm, Siegmund exhaustedly stumbles into an unfamiliar home. Sieglinde finds him lying by the hearth, and the two feel an immediate attraction. Sieglinde’s husband, Hunding, interrupts them, asking the stranger who he is. Calling himself “Woeful,” Siegmund tells of a disaster-filled life, only to learn that Hunding is a kinsman of his enemies. Hunding tells his guest that they will fight to the death in the morning. Alone, Siegmund calls on his father, Wälse—who was in fact Wotan, leader of the gods, in human disguise—for the sword that he once promised him. Sieglinde reappears, having given Hunding a sleeping potion. She tells of her wedding, at which a one-eyed stranger thrust into a tree a sword that has since resisted every effort to pull it out. Sieglinde confesses her unhappiness to Siegmund, and he embraces her and promises to free her from her forced marriage to Hunding. As moonlight floods het room, Siegmund compares their feelings to the marriage of love and spring. Sieglindeaddr esses him as “Spring” but asks if his father was really “Wolf,” as he said earlier. When Siegmund gives his father’s name as “Wälse” instead, Sieglinde recognizes him as her twin brother. Siegmund pulls the sword from the tree and claims Sieglinde as his bride, rejoicing in the union of the Wälsungs. The pair rush off together into the night. Act II In the mountains, Wotan tells his warrior daughter, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, that she must defend his mortal son Siegmund in his upcoming battle with Hunding.

  • Wagner Aan De Noordzee
    Wagner aan de Noordzee 160 jaar Wagnertraditie in Nederland (3) door Leo M. Cornelissen De tijdgeest in de periode 1900 - 1919 In het voorgaande werd al de tijdgeest gedurende het laatste kwart van de 19e eeuw in Europa aangestipt en uitvoeriger ook het maatschappelijk en cultureel leven in ons land beschreven. Dat was ook de periode waarin de belangstelling voor Wagners muziekwerken in heel Europa een absolute hype werden. De overgangsjaren van de 19e naar de 20e eeuw, dus globaal de decennia rondom het jaar 1900, brachten daar geen grote verandering in. Bayreuth was aan het eind van de 19e eeuw de toonaangevende festivalstad in de wereld. Het klimaat daar werd beheerst door de geest van de Bayreuther Wagnergetrouwen en de als een godin vereerde Cosima Wagner, ‘die hohe Frau’. Zij bewaakte met ijzeren discipline wat zij zag als haar taak: de ongewijzigde voortzetting en internationale promotie van Richards werk, met name door sterk de regie te voeren over de Wagnerfestspiele in haar eigen zomertheater. Het tijdvak tussen de Frans-Duitse oorlog van 1870 en de Eerste Wereldoorlog, de zgn. ’Kaiserzeit’, staat internationaal te boek als een periode van grote technische vooruitgang, maar ook een van geestelijke decadentie en een toenemende verengde vorm van nationalisme. Ook in de tweede helft van deze periode, dus van 1900 tot de Eerste wereldoorlog, werd Wagners werk overal ter wereld zeer frequent uitgevoerd en enthousiast onthaald. Werkelijk in alle operahuizen van enig niveau, zowel in de oude als de nieuwe wereld, buitelde de ene Wagnervoorstelling over de andere: Wenen, Berlijn, München, New York, Amsterdam, Londen, Parijs, Brussel.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    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.
