Director Uwe Erik Laufenberg staged the work, which premiered in Dresden in 1911, as a modern homage to the composer, a greatly beloved figure at the Semperoper. The celebrated Strauss interpreter Anne Schwanewilms appears as the Feldmarschallin under the baton of Fabio Luisi. From Maundy Thursday (April 9, 2020) to Easter Monday (April 13, 2020), this video recording from Tokyo’s NHK Hall in 2007 is available for streaming through our website semperoper.de under »Semperoper at home«. This weekend’s opera stream has been made possible by the generous granting of broadcasting rights by MDR and EuroArts. The DVD version of the performance is available for purchase. Thanks to UNITEL GmbH, »Semperoper at home«-streams will also be offered on the following weekends with a recording of Pietro Mascagni’s »Cavalleria rusticana« (April 17 - 19, 2020) and Ruggero Leoncavallo’s »Pagliacci« (April 24 – 26, 2020) from Salzburg’s Large Festival Hall in 2015. Originally director Philipp Stölzl staged this co-production between Saxon State Opera and the Salzburg Easter Festival as an operatic double bill; the Dresden premiere took place in January 2016. The star-studded cast, headed by Annalisa Stroppa and Jonas Kaufmann, perform under Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor of the Dresden Staatskapelle. UNITEL videos are permanently available on fidelio.at, the streaming portal for classical music operated by ORF and UNITEL.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual. Pavel CHESNOKOV Teach Me Thy Statutes - PaTRAM Institute Male Choir/Vladimir Gorbik rec. 2016 REFERENCE RECORDINGS FR-727 SACD The most significant anniversary of 2018 was that of the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy, and while there were fine recordings of his music, none stood as deserving of this accolade as much as the choral works of Pavel Chesnokov.

  • Maria Agresta,Alfonso Gatto È Tornato Al Catalogo
    Il puritanesimo scandalizzato della Salerno bene Niente clamori e proteste per Fa’afafine in un massimo cittadino blindato Di OLGA CHIEFFI In un teatro Verdi blindato, con carabinieri a sorvegliarne l’entrata è andato in scena lo spettacolo Fa’ afafine “Mi chiamo Alex e sono un dinosauro” inserito nella stagione dedicata ai giovanissimi studenti delle scuole primarie, che tanto clamore ha suscitato in città. I pensieri belli sono come gli uccelli migratori… Si muovono tutti insieme, così non si perdono”. Questa è solo una delle immagini poetiche ed emozionanti evocate da Alex, il protagonista dello spettacolo “Fa’afafine – Mi chiamo Alex e sono un dinosauro. La pièce che non mancano di sorprendere e commuovere, sono incentrati sul dibattutissimo e spesso frainteso tema del “gender”. Alex, interpretato dal bravo attore Michele Degirolamo, è un bambino curioso, brillante e pieno di inventiva che condivide il suo mondo fantastico coi pupazzi suoi amici, ma non ha ancora deciso se e quando essere maschio o femmina. Il bambino molto speciale infatti sogna di trasferirsi a Samoa per poter vivere da Fa’afafine. La parola composta (fa’a-= alla maniera di; “fafine” =donna) definisce un vero e proprio terzo sesso, coloro che, sin da bambini, non amano identificarsi e a cui la società samoana non impone una scelta. I fa’afafine godono di massimo rispetto. Sono maschi alla nascita, ed esplicitamente incarnano entrambi i caratteri, variando nel comportamento dal femminile stravagante al prosaicamente maschile. La scelta dell’abbigliamento è uno dei momenti più difficili per Alex: maschera del supereroe o scarpe da donna? Vestito da principessa o felpa con cappuccio? La scena tutta (firmata da Caterina Guia) è la sua stanzetta, animata in modo vincente e fantasioso dal video mapping di Daniele Salaris – Videostille, in grado di trasformarsi, in un soffio, in acquario, astronave, cielo stellato, luogo dei sogni.

Une autre image colla cependant longtemps à la peau de Schubert, et si l’on peut se réjouir qu’elle soit aujourd’hui presque tombée en désuétude (car nous avons découvert nombre d’œuvres qui lui apportaient un véritable démenti), elle n’en présente pas moins certains de ces lieder sous un jour éclairant : c’est celle « du doux jeune homme […] menant joyeuse vie d’artiste au milieu d’amis dont il animait les réunions d’agréables chansons populaires » (Gilles Cantagrel).

  • Staatskapelle Dresden
    Staatskapelle Dresden Staatskapelle Dresden Matthias Claudi PR und Marketing Theaterplatz 2 Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor 01067 Dresden Germany Myung-Whun Chung, Principal Guest Conductor T 0351 4911 380 herberb Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate F 0351 4911 328 [email protected] Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and steeped in tradition. Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden.
