According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him MASSENET ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, (1842-1912) honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov Manon recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four Opera in 5 Acts decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Manon Lescaut . Germaine Féraldy In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies.

Both recordings were released in Europe as well as America and remained in the catalogue until the close of the 78rpm era. By the year 1932, three additional recordings of Carmen had become available to the 1 Prélude 3:26 ! Manon! Avez-vous peur que mon visage 6:49 record buying public but this version of Massenet’s most popular opera remained unchallenged for more than (Orchestra) (Manon, Des Grieux) twenty-five years. The sound of this recording is extremely good for its time possessing an excellent balance between the singers 2 Holà! Hé! Monsieur l’hôtelier? 2:18 @ Enfin, les amoureux 8:15 and the orchestra. Its major flaw, however, is the fact that it was recorded in an acoustically dead studio with the (Poussette, Javotte, Rosette, Guillot, De Brétigny, (Lescaut, De Brétigny, Manon, Des Grieux) singers placed a bit too close to the microphone. I have taken the liberty of adding a small amount of artificial L’hôtelier) reverberation which will, hopefully, give the performance a more pleasant sound without detracting from its # Allons! Il le faut!... 2:31 immediacy. I have transferred the recording from two sets of French and two sets of American pressings, all in mint 3 Hors d’oeuvre de choix! 2:06 Adieu, notre petite table condition. I compared all copies of each side and chose the one which yielded the quietest surface without (L’hôtelier, Guillot, De Brétigny, Poussette, (Manon) compromising the recorded sound. In fact, some of the American pressings, though quieter, occasionally lacked Javotte, Rosette) sonic vividness. In such cases, I opted to use the slightly noisier French pressings. I also used several stylus sizes $ C’est lui!... Instant charmant... 5:23 to achieve optimum reproduction. 4 Entendez-vous la cloche... 4:49 En fermant les yeux...Oh! Ciel! déjà! It took several months to complete this recording, and consequently, it possesses certain inconsistencies that I Allez à l’auberge voisine... Les voilà! (Des Grieux) should mention. First, glancing at the cast list, one can’t help but notice that several minor rôles were shared by (Lescaut) two or even three different singers depending upon the particular side. This is probably due to the fact that Columbia used whoever might have been available on any particular day. So long as the important singers were 5 Je suis encore tout étourdie 3:21 Act III 19:34 present, the others were left to chance. The second inconsistency concerns the recorded sound. Considering the fact (Manon) that the performance heard here was recorded over a number of sessions, the actual sound is remarkably consistent Scene 1 19:34 from one side to another. It should be noted, however, that two sides in Act I were defectively recorded. The first 6 Hôtelier de malheur! Il est donc entendu 2:37 of these is side two (matrix WLX730) which begins with the words “Allons Messieurs.” The sound here is (Guillot, Manon, De Brétigny, Poussette, Javotte, % Entr’acte 2:21 extremely distorted and strident, resisting my best efforts at improvement. The same sonic flaw afflicts side five Rosette, Lescaut) (Orchestra) (matrix WLX729) beginning “Hôtelier de malheur.” Finally, I should mention that there is an inconsistency in speed, not only from one side to another but also within particular individual sides. In remastering this recording, 7 Il vous parlait, Manon?... 3:08 ^ Voyez mules à fleurettes! 4:06 I have attempted to correct the pitch whenever necessary. Regardez-moi bien dans les yeux! (Street Trader) (Lescaut) & A quoi bon l’économie... Bonjour, Poussette! 4:55 8 Restons ici... 2:54 (Lescaut) Voyons, Manon, plus de chimères! (Manon) * Voici les élégantes!...

  • 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.

  • RÉCRÉATION LYRIQUE # 9. - DEUX OU TROIS CHOSES QUE JE SAIS D’ELLE Par Olivier Braux
    RÉCRÉATION LYRIQUE # 9. - DEUX OU TROIS CHOSES QUE JE SAIS D’ELLE Par Olivier Braux Chers Amis, Mady Mesplé n’est plus et c’est un versant entier du chant français que son sourire si doux n’illuminera plus. Elle rejoint Gabriel Bacquier avec qui elle avait créé, en 1963, Le dernier sauvage de Gian Carlo Menotti. Elle était Kitty -Scattergood, fille d’un milliardaire de Chicago, soprano colorature, « belle et théoriquement mince (comme toutes les héroïnes d’opéra) » ; la concernant, beauté et minceur n’étaient nullement théoriques ! Lui, Abdul, baryton hindou, un palefrenier « beau comme Krishna et fort comme un taureau ». Création mondiale à l’Opéra-Comique, four mémorable, critique assassine. Qu’importe. Ils ont encore chanté ensemble, notamment Rigoletto, et enregistré plus encore : Guillaume Tell, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Werther… En 1956 Gabriel Dussurget monte pour elle une rareté délicieuse : Zémire et Azor, comédie-ballet de Grétry. Comme taillé à la mesure de la virtuosité colorature de Mady Mesplé, l’Air de la fauvette aligne 9 minutes de vocalises ébouriffantes. On peut rêver d’entendre un gazouillis si tendre sous le ciel de Provence. La même année, elle prête sa malice et sa grâce à l’opéra bouffe miniature de Menotti d’avant le désastre du Dernier sauvage : Le Téléphone. Dix ans plus tard, participation majeure à un chef-d’œuvre qui s’achève justement sous la coupole d’un firmament étoilé, elle est Zerbinetta dans Ariane à Naxos entre Régine Crespin et Tatiana Troyanos, avec dans des rôles de comparses Rachel Yakar et José van Dam ! C’était ça la direction artistique de Dussurget.
