(1) Signet Mit Nele Freudenberger – guten Morgen! Heute starten wir mit unserer Wochenreihe zum Thema „musikalisches Recycling“. Das hat in der Musikgeschichte viel größere Spuren hinterlassen als man annehmen könnte. Fremde Themen werden ausgeliehen, bearbeitet, variiert, eigene Themen wieder verwendet. Sogar eine eigene Gattung ist aus dem musikalischen Recycling hervorgegangen: das Pasticcio – und mit dem werden wir uns heute eingehender beschäftigen (0:26) Titelmelodie Ein musikalisches Pasticcio wird in Deutschland auch „Flickenoper“ genannt. Dieser wenig schmeichelhafte Name sagt eigentlich schon alles. Zum einen bezeichnet er treffend das zugrunde liegende Kompositionsprinzip: handelt es sich doch um eine Art musikalisches Patchwork, das aus alten musikalischen Materialien besteht. Die können von einem oder mehreren Komponisten stammen. Zum anderen gibt es auch gleich eine ästhetische Einordnung, denn „Flickenoper“ klingt wenn nicht schon verächtlich, so doch wenigstens despektierlich.

  • Estreno Mundial Del Motezuma De Vivaldi
    A partir del descubrimiento sobre Vivaldi más importante en los últimos cincuenta años Estreno mundial del Motezuma de Vivaldi Gabriel Pareyón Rotterdam, 15 de junio [de 2005].- El fin de semana pasado se presentó en De Doelen, considerada la sala de conciertos más importante de esta ciudad holandesa, la ópera en tres actos Motezuma (1733), de Antonio Vivaldi (1678- 1741), en versión de concierto, sin decorados ni escenografía. La interpretación, que se anunció en todo el país como “estreno mundial”, estuvo a cargo del ensamble barroco Modo Antiguo, bajo la dirección de Federico María Sardelli. En realidad la ópera se estrenó el 14 de noviembre de 1733 en el teatro Sant’Angelo de Venecia, pero con tan mala fortuna que nunca se volvió a ejecutar hasta el sábado pasado, tras 271 años de silencio. Este largo período de olvido se debió principalmente a dos causas. Una de orden musical y otra fortuita. La primera ocurrió con el estreno mismo de la obra en que, al parecer, la mezzosoprano solista Anna Girò tuvo algunos problemas para cantar. Como resultado la prima donna de Vivaldi no volvería a interpretar ninguna ópera suya, a excepción de Il Tamerlano (1735). A ello se sumó cierto malestar del público, que tal vez juzgó la pieza “demasiado seria” (pues no hay siquiera un duo de amor ni ninguna danza) y que además esperaba del compositor, en vano, algún gesto de sumisión ante la poderosa novedad del estilo de Nápoles. Éste, conocido como “estilo galante”, significaría la vuelta de página entre las tendencias veneciana y napolitana, que se tradujo en el paso del barroco hacia el clasicismo (transición que en México representó Ignacio de Jerusalem [1707-1769] frente al estilo de Manuel de Sumaya [1676-1755]).

The genus just newly created is celebrated everywhere. Not quite. For in Romee were allowed operas for decades heard exclusively in a closed society. The Papal State, who wanted to seem virtuous achieved at least outwardly like all these stories about love, lust, passions and all the ancient heroes and gods was morally rather questionable.

  • Europa Galante
    EUROPA GALANTE Europa Galante was founded in 1990 by its musical director and internationally acclaimed violinist Fabio Biondi and quickly established itself as the foremost Italian period instrument ensemble, breathing new life into the baroque and classical repertoire. The ensemble initially specialised in Italian composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, followed by the release of its first record dedicated to Vivaldi concertos. Europa Galante has received worldwide recognition, consistently gaining the highest level of critical acclaim, including the Diapason d’Or de l’Année and the Choc de Musique. The ensemble now performs a variety of well-known repertoire and unearths hidden gems from Handel’s and Rossini’s operas to Bach’s orchestral suites and Boccherini’s chamber music. Since its foundation 30 years ago, Europa Galante has toured internationally, performing in many of the world’s major concert halls and theatres, including Teatro alla Scala Milan, Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Rome’s Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wiener Musikverein, New York’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall and the Sydney Opera House. This season, they will bring Handel's Silla to the National Auditorium of Madrid and staged performances of Handel's Silla to China and Japan, as well as the Handel's oratorio Triumph of Time and Disenchantment on semistage. Highlights next season include Vivaldi’s opera Argippo presented in Shanghai and Seoul, at the Bremen Festival, Theater an der Wien, as well as in Madrid and Sevilla. Europa Galante will additionally perform a variety of other programmes in Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, France and will be a tour in North and South America (Mexico, Colombia, Brazil).

  • Vivaldi Gloria and Imeneo Europa Galante
    Vivaldi Gloria and Imeneo Europa Galante Martina Belli Léa Desandre Fabio Biondi Europa Galante Gloria e Imeneo is a serenata containing some of Vivaldi's finest music, alternating virtuosity with elegance, poignancy, and dramatic fervour comparable to his most compelling operas. Commissioned by the French Ambassador to commemorate the nuptials of Louis XV and the Polish princess Maria Leszczyska, Vivaldi’s work was first performed in 1725 in a loggia at the end of the garden at the ambassador’s residence in Venice, a building which still stands today as the Grand Hotel ‘Palazzo dei Dogi’. The two characters are Imeneo (Hymen, representing marriage) and La Gloria (Glory, the attribute of the French monarch). Throughout the work the two protagonists compete with each other in celebrating the radiant future of the French monarchy, and in congratulating the young royal couple in the most extravagant language each can muster. After competing with one another, the two soloists eventually join together and duet and the work climaxes with a final recitative: this celebration, sings La Gloria, will remain etched in human memory forever. The exceptionally high quality of the music features arias with tune-like qualities equivalent to the most unforgettable of Vivaldi’s concerto melodies. Recitatives are short and lively and they never distract from what was most important to the composer and his French sponsors: a solid hour of ravishing and exciting Baroque music. Orchestration: 2 soloists 15 musicians (Fabio Biondi + strings + harpsichord) For more information contact Vicky Shilling, Associate Director, International Touring [email protected] +44 (0)20 7608 9931.
