Without their efforts, this performance would not have been possible. CENTENNIAL NOTE Robert Sirota was President of Manhattan School of Music from 2005 to 2012, during which time he also was a member of the Composition faculty. He wrote A Rush of Wings in 2008 especially for the MSM Chamber Sinfonia, which premiered the work on January 26, 2009 at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. The concert, conducted by Kenneth Kiesler, showcased the School’s Graduate Program in Orchestral Performance with faculty members playing side-by-side with students. MSM’s OP Program began in 1991 and Glenn Dicterow, then Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, was a founding faculty member.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • The Harlingen Auditorium and Harlingen Concert Association 51 Years Young – and the Beat Goes on Norman Rozeff, November 2006 (Revised 12/07, 2/11)
    The Harlingen Auditorium and Harlingen Concert Association 51 Years Young – And the Beat Goes On Norman Rozeff, November 2006 (revised 12/07, 2/11) Civic leaders and the city fathers recognized early on that a sizeable auditorium capable of hosting name attractions would be an important asset to the city. In April 1926 even before such an auditorium was a reality Mayor Ewing had approached the Southwest Chautauqua Organization about bringing its major performers to the city. It had toured such stalwarts as the violinist Efrem Zimbalist, Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and lecturer Herbert Hoover. It is in 1927 that the Harlingen Municipal Auditorium, 1114 Fair Park Blvd., is approved for construction at a cost of $125,000. Its site is where the annual Valley Mid-Winter ag- ricultural fairs are held, and it is expected to be utilized as part of the fair activities. It is completed before mid-1928 and seats 1,800. The Hurricane of 1933 causes extensive to the auditorium, so it is extensively renovated. Reopened in late 1935, a new cornerstone dated 1936 is placed in it. The entrance offers a art deco façade. The interior is also of art deco design and has a state of the art stage. Reconfigured, it then seats over 2,200. The city government people who approved the expenditures were: Mayor Sam Botts; com- missioners J.J.Burk, George Waters, Neil Madeley, Dr. E.A. Davis, and H.C. Ware. The architect was Stanley Bliss with the Ramsey Brothers doing the contracting. Since the year 1928 when Harlingen was first blessed with one of the finest civic audito- riums in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the community has always enticed topnotch en- tertainment.
