  • Porgy and Bess» in Oltre Settant’Anni Di Interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY and BESS»
    1 Giovinezza di «Porgy and Bess» in oltre settant’anni di interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY AND BESS» di Aloma Bardi [all’interno di ciascun capitolo, le voci sono elencate secondo l’ordine cronologico delle registrazioni] I. «PORGY AND BESS» NELL’INTERPRETAZIONE DI GEORGE GERSHWIN Gershwin performs Gershwin: Rare recordings, 1931-1935. Registr. dal vivo delle prove di una selezione dell’opera; 19 luglio 1935. Introduction – Summertime (Abbie Mitchell); A woman is a sometime thing (Edward Matthews); Atto I, Scena I, Finale; My man’s gone now (Ruby Elzy); Bess, you is my woman now (Todd Duncan, Anne Brown); George Gershwin, pf., dir. e annunciatore; 18:07; MusicMasters 5062-2-C, 1991. Testimonianza memorabile per respiro melodico, scelta dei tempi e ritegno antisentimentalistico risultanti dalla concezione sinfonica della direzione, che pone le voci nel fitto tessuto strumentale. II. INCISIONI DELL’OPERA In Porgy and Bess, la definizione di opera integrale e di versione definitiva è articolata e richiede una precisazione: l’edizione per voce e pf., l’unica stampata e pubblicamente disponibile (Warner Bros., 1935) non è una riduzione della partitura orchestrale, bensì testimonia la fase precedente a quella dell’orchestrazione ed è legata agli abbozzi manoscritti; Gershwin orchestrò l’opera mentre tale ed. era già in stampa. Il testo definitivo è invece convenzionalmente – e discutibilmente – considerato quello stabilito durante le rappresentazioni del debutto a Broadway, risultante da tagli numerosi e talora estesi, per lo più effettuati allo scopo di abbreviare la durata dello spettacolo e di eliminare difficoltà per gli interpreti o complessità ritenute eccessive in quel particolare contesto. Porgy and Bess.
