  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal. NB: The indication [DS] refers the reader to sources that are reproduced in the documentation portfolio that accompanies this article.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Alberichs Fluch
    „Meiner Freiheit erster Gruß“ Alberichs Fluch (von Gunter Grimm; Dezember 2019) Alberich und die Rheintöchter Alberich ist der Herr der versklavten Zwerge, ein dämonischer Bursche, der darüber hinaus die Zau- berkunst beherrscht. Er besitzt einen Tarnhelm, der ihn unsichtbar macht, und einen magischen Ring, mit dessen Hilfe er Gold hortet und durch Erwerb und Bestechung die Weltherrschaft erringen möchte. Er ist also ein Kapitalist übler Sorte! Es versteht sich, dass Wotan sich dieses verheerende Treiben nicht gefallen lassen darf – schließlich dünkt er sich ja als Göttervater und Herr der Welt. Deshalb wogt in den vier Teilen der „Ring“-Tetralogie unentwegt der Kampf um den Ring. Im Grunde sind all die menschlichen Protagonisten der zwei Generationen: Siegmund und Sieglinde, hernach Siegfried, Gutrune und die Burgunder, nur Instrumente im Kampf um den Besitz des Ringes. Anders sieht das bei den übergeordneten Instanzen aus Götter- und Dämonenwelt: Wotan und Brünnhilde, Alberich und Hagen sind Gegenmächte – freilich nicht eindeutig als die gute und die böse Partei identifizierbar. Im ersten Teil der Tetralogie, im „Rheingold“ wird die Grundkonstellation angelegt. Die Rheintöchter besitzen das mythische Rheingold, dessen Besitz zu uneingeschränkter Macht verhilft, wenn sein Be- sitzer aus diesem Gold einen Ring schmiedet und zugleich der Liebe abschwört. Die Ausgangssituati- on ist der vergebliche Versuch des Zwergenkönigs Alberich, eine der Rheintöchter für sich zu erobern. Sie erzählen ihm vom Gold und dass derjenige, welcher der Liebe entsage, aus dem Gold einen Ring schmieden könne, der ihm quasi die Weltherrschaft verleihen würde. Das leuchtet dem Zwerg derma- ßen ein, dass er den Bericht umgehend in die Tat umsetzt.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.
