Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write. -

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.

New York City, 1867-Berlin, 1930. Born of German parents, Blass studied first as a violinist and then voice in Frankfurt with Julius Stockhau- sen. His debut was in Weimar, 1892, as King Henry in Lohengrin and he was soon heard in many of Germany’s leading houses. Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera first heard him in 1900 and he sang in New York through 1910 and again the seasons of 1920-22. From 1913 to 1920 he was with Berlin’s Deutsche Opera and he taught in Berlin until his death. Blass made few recordings, these for Victor in 1903 and Edison in 1905. 9165. 2M Wax Edison B-48.

A student in Milan of Giuseppe Quiroli, whom she later married, Agostinelli made her debut in Pavia, 1903, as Giordano’s Fedora. She appeared with success in South America, Russia, Spain, England and her native Italy and was on the roster of the Hammerstein Manhattan Opera, 1908-10. One New York press notice indicates that her rendering of the “Suicidio” from La Gioconda on a Man- hattan Sunday night concert “kept her busy bowing in recognition to applause for three or four minutes”. At La Scala she was cast with Battistini in Simon Boccanegra and created for that house in 1911 the Marschallin in their first Rosenkavalier. Her career contin- ued into the mid-1920s, when she retired to Buenos Aires and taught. 9269. 4M Edison BA 28137. TOSCA: Vissi d’arte (Puccini). Repro B/T. Cons. 2. $25.00.

ARSC Journal, Spring 1991 35 Operatic Vitaphone Shorts
THE OPERATIC VITAPHONE SHORTS By William Shaman On 6 August 1926 "Vitaphone," the latest commercial sound-on-disc motion picture system, made its debut at the Warners' Theater in New York City. The feature film that evening, "Don Juan," with John Barrymore and Mary Astor, was a lavish costume picture with a pre-recorded soundtrack consisting of synchronized sound effects and a Spanish-flavored score written by Major Edward Bowes, David Mendoza, and Dr. William Axt, played by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Henry Hadley. There was no spoken dialogue. Eight short subjects preceded "Don Juan:" Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers Association, welcoming the Vitaphone in a spoken address; the Overture to Tannhauser played by the New York Philharmonic, again with Hadley conducting; violinist Mischa Elman, accompanied by pianist Josef Bonime, playing Dvorak's "Humoresque" and Gossec's "Gavotte;" Roy Smeck, "Wizard of the Strings," in a medley of Hawaiian guitar, ukulele, and banjo solos; violinist Efrem Zimbalist and pianist Harold Bauer playing the theme and variations from Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata, and three solos by singers Marion Talley, Giovanni Martinelli and Anna Case. By all accounts, the show was a resounding success. A steady flow of shorts and part-talking features would follow, beginning with the second Vitaphone show on 7 October 1926. On 6 October 1927 "The Jazz Singer" premiered in New York. The other major Hollywood studios, anticipating a favorable public response to sound films, had been involved in clandestine negotiations since 1926 and now were scrambling to secure a share of this lucrative new market. -

Metropolitan Opera House Grand Opera Season 1918-1919 Program
Barrientos Not since the days of Adelina Patti has a coloratura-soprano won such world-wide renown as Marie Barrientos. Milan, Paris, London, Petrograd, Buenos Ayres, Barcelona and New York have all acclaimed her splendid voice and artistic gifts. The intricate delicacies ofcolora- ture vocalization, the almost un- believable range of many operatic masterpieces, the intuitive gift of interpretation— all unite in the art of Barrientos. Barrientos makes records for Columbia exclusively. Her Columbia Records, played on the Columbia Grafonola give you every golden note, perfectly mirrored.

Es un elemento básico del carácter humano, no importa en la cultura que te encuentres ni donde vivas. Bill Viola. (Utrera, 2011) Claude Chabrol1 sugiere que existen dos tipos de directores, los poetas y los narradores, los segundos son los que directamente se adscriben al término narrar, contar la historia, pero los primeros son denominados también, Poetas de la imagen, se adscriben a términos más cercanos a las sensaciones, las emociones y a la creación de transcripciones a través de imagen y sonido; utilizan o se basan en otros valores con los que expanden el campo perceptivo y comunicativo. -
