Coverscaping: Discovering Album Aesthetics. Museum Tusculanum Press. 2 Abstract The Pomegranate Cycle is a practice-led enquiry consisting of a creative work and an exegesis. This project investigates the potential of self-directed, technologically mediated composition as a means of reconfiguring gender stereotypes within the operatic tradition. This practice confronts two primary stereotypes: the positioning of female performing bodies within narratives of violence and the absence of women from authorial roles that construct and regulate the operatic tradition. The Pomegranate Cycle redresses these stereotypes by presenting a new narrative trajectory of healing for its central character, and by placing the singer inside the role of composer and producer. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century, operatic and classical music institutions have resisted incorporating works of living composers into their repertory.

  • Classical CD Hall of Fame
    Classical CD Hall of Fame Barry Krusch © 1994, 2010 by Barry Krusch All rights reserved. LAST UPDATED: November 4, 1994 The latest version of this document may be obtained at www.krusch.com. 2 Classical CD Hall of Fame Introduction ABSTRACT The following article is a list of dozens of excellent CDs. After the following brief introduction, it is divided into two sections: Section 1: The CDs CATEGORIZED with reference to mood, type, etc. Section 2: The CDs DESCRIBED , with conductor, orchestra, and label information given, along with accessibility , sound quality , and great tracks indexes. This list is the culmination of thousands of hours of listening to classical CDs by the author. It is designed for people new to classical music, and the rest of us. INTRODUCTION The following article is a list which I believe goes a long way towards answering the following questions in the Usenet classical music FAQ: Q2. I’m new to classical music and want to learn about it. What should I listen to? Answer: See this list — there’s a category just for you! Next question, please. Q4. I heard this great piece on the radio, but when I went to the record store to buy a copy, I found dozens of versions. Which is the right one to get? Answer: this one’s easy — the version you heard on the radio. The piece CANNOT be separated from the performance. Compare Scherchen’s performance of the first movement of Beethoven’s Pastorale symphony with, say, Klemperer, or the last movement of Levi’s Shostakovich 5th symphony with Bernstein’s performance (the 1959 recording).

MacGuffins, Hits and Other Songs Juan Carlos MONTOYA RUBIO Universidad de Murcia [email protected] RESUMEN: En los últimos tiempos, la pedagogía musical se sirve del audiovisual para implementar nuevos procedimientos didácticos. Entre otras, son comunes aplicaciones basadas en películas o series de televisión, incluso videojuegos. Sin embargo, no es tan frecuente recurrir a programas televisivos basados en la divulgación musical. En este texto tratamos de evolucionar Òpera en texans y This is opera, dos producciones con simili- tudes obvias desde su propio proceso de creación, para encauzarlas hacia la didáctica musical. Para ello, se lleva a cabo un análisis de los contenidos, así como el modo de abordarlos, apuntándose estrategias para su uso en las aulas de educación musical. El resultado de este trabajo de investigación e innovación amplía el modo en que el género operístico puede ser encarado en el ámbito educativo. Palabras clave: This is opera; Òpera en texans; medios audiovisuales; pedagogía musical; estudios de ópera.

  • René Pape Selected Reviews
    René Pape Selected Reviews Parsifal – DVD Royal Opera House (December 2014) “René Pape (Gurnemanz)[is] vocally tireless, streets ahead of modern-day rivals.” – David Gutman, Editor’s Choice, Gramophone Magazine Parsifal Royal Opera House (November 2013) “René Pape brings crisp, conversational tone to Gurnemanz’s monologues”. - Andrew Clark, Financial Times ***** “René Pape’s Gurnemanz is magnificently sung: nobly authoritative, but never pompous or barking.” – Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph **** “Vocally the standard is set by René Pape's immaculate, intense Gurnemanz, who makes every syllable in his narrations matter.” - Andrew Clements , The Guardian **** “Vocally the stars are René Pape whose Gurnemanz is easy, conversational but cavernously strong, and Gerald Finley as Amfortas.” - Michael White, The New York Times “René Pape gives one of his more verbally animated performances as Gurnemanz.” - Barry Millington, Evening Standard **** “That this is still a triumphant evening is thanks... to the burnished beauty of Pape’s singing.” – Michael Church, The Independent “René Pape as the wise, troubled, authoritative Gurnemanz, is warm and rich in tone.” – Fiona Maddocks, The Observer “René Pape is Gurnemanz, pouring out a stream of luscious though surprisingly quiet tone.” – Michael Tanner, The Spectator “El otro gran cantante de esta nueva producción de la Royal Opera es René Pape, un Gurnemanz de fraseo igualmente claro y timbre bellísimo en su lubricada emisión y variación de color.” - Agustín Blanco Bazán, Mundo Clasico “Gerald Finley (Amfortas) and René Pape (Gurnemanz) both possess superb baritone voices and a gift for emotional directness. It’s five-and-a-half hours of nearly unalloyed pleasure.” – Warwick Thompson, The Metro **** “Rene Pape’s richly lyrical Gurnemanz .” – George Hall, The Stage “Vocal honours of the evening go to René Pape's glorious assumption of the role of Gurnemanz.

  • Opera on Video a Personal Review
    Opera on Video A Personal Review The accessibility of opera has increased markedly in the decades since video recorders became available in the home. It seems appropriate to essay this highly personal review of the materials to which I have access. My definition of “opera” has been broadened to include any work generally so classified whether staged or not, and any classical vocal work presented in a staged performance. I have included concert performances of operas and stagings of oratorios. The reviews reflect my personal opinions and should not be taken as more. I hope that they provide you with enough information to select among performances or to seek out items of interest. The intent of the Evaluation entry is to provide a one-word summary opinion of the recording. Excellent Solid representation of the work in all significant respects; flaws may be noted in the text. Very Good Recording adequate for appreciation of the opera by one not familiar with it. Good Fundamentally valid reading lacking significant elements; not recommended for novices. Fair/Adequate Tolerable performance with elements worth seeing but not satisfying overall. Inadequate Although unacceptable overall, acceptable if no alternative is available. Poor Unacceptable performance overall; elements may be worth seeing. Other terms such as Unique and Idiosyncratic apply to performances of particular value in specific senses but which should not be regarded as generally representative of the opera. Those recordings should be sampled before purchase; traditionalists may find them unacceptable, but those new to opera in general or to the particular work may find them revelatory.

  • No. 104, June 2006 a Letter to Members Dear Members I Am
    No. 104, June 2006 A letter to Members Dear Members I am delighted to begin my second report for 2006 with news that my earlier predictions of a dearth of things Wagnerian in Australia over the next few years may well prove to be wrong. Melba Foundation Limited, which, according to CEO, Maria Vandamme, stepped in at the last minute to record the Ring Cycle in Adelaide in November and December 2004, wrote to patrons in April to announce a schedule for the release on CD of each part of the Neidhardt Ring, and then of the whole set. Die Walküre was released on 7 June 2006, Das Rheingold will be released in October 2006, Siegfried in February 2007 and Götterdämmerung and the Ring Cycle set in October 2007. [For some information about the new SACD format and the release of Die Walküre, see below.] As I said in my annual report for 2005 delivered at our AGM in May this year, Opera Australia is rumoured to be planning productions of two Wagner operas, one in 2007 and a second in 2008, and there are also rumours that the State Opera of South Australia is planning to stage Meistersinger in 2008 and to restage the Neidhardt Ring in 2010. Having Cassandra-like predicted a depressing lack of future Wagner performances, I will devour humble pie with relish if this proves not to be the case. Functions On 2 April, we held our second function of 2006, at which Alan Whelan gave an illustrated talk on the life and works of Siegfried Wagner.
