  • 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.

    ing notes is a welcome one. I do wish they spread out onto three sides to avoid the Adagio side-break. Peter Burkhardt's appreciation of Knappertsbusch is particularly appropriate in his paragraph noting the conductor's insistence, against general critical opinion, on Bruckner's "sensuousness." Given the extraordinary richness of this performance, that observation is particularly apt. Henry Fogel Alexander Kipnis from Historic Broadcast Recitals Given in 1943/44 and Now Issued for the First Time. MUSSORGSKY: Boris Godounov--Monologue; Clock Scene; Farewell (Shostakovich orchestration) (Philharmonic-Sym­ phony; Fritz Reiner, conductor, 23 July 1944); Prayer (Rimski-Korsakov orchestration); Song of the Flea (Orchestra; J.

SCHUMANN: Dichterliebe, (Op.48) (Wolfgang Rose, piano) (1943); SCHUBERT: Aufenhalt; Gute Nacht; Der Wanderer; Erlkonig (with piano) (1936). Comments by Kipnis from interview with Robert Sherman on WQXR Listening Room. DISCOCORP 210, 211, 2 discs. The first of these two discs is a historic document of first importance, for the Boris Godounov broadcast with Reiner was the world premiere of the Shostakovich orchestration. The three excerpts, with Kipnis in magnificent voice, are followed by Boris' prayer in the familiar Rimski-Korsakov version. Mussorgsky's Song of the Flea, with orchestra, follows, and the first side is filled out with some comments on Boris. Perhaps one does not think of Kipnis as Leporello (though he did sing the part at the Met).

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommendation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth. She subsequently studied with de Reszke him- self and appeared with him at the Paris Opéra, making her debut as Gounod’s Juliette.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • The Mysterious Affair of the Serenade
    THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR OF THE SERENADE The time has come for the revaluation of Aldo Finzi, a Jewish composer who was on the point of winning, with his “playful comedy” when the anti-Jewish laws were about to be issued in Italy, the competition for a new opera which the La Scala Theatre had published. Aldo Finzi’s “Serenade to the Wind”, an injustice to be repaired. “ ... go, serenade to the wind, but don’t reveal that your singing - hides a secret longing - for a weeping moment - of an intimate torment...” On 11th February 1936 Wolf Ferrari’s “Il campiello”was staged at the Scala Theatre , conducted by Gino Marinuzzi with an all star cast: Mafalda Favero, Margherita Carosio, Iris Adami- Corradetti, Giuseppe Nessi, the very colourful and sunny only scene by Pieretto Bianchi. It can still be admired in the nowadays impossible to find volume that La Scala caused to be published in 1946 (1). Just seven years before, Toscanini had conducted, in addition to Fidelio, also Falstaff and Meistersingers in what was going to be his last Scala season before World War II (2). In December of the same year, on Bronislaw Hubermann’s invitation, he went to Palestine ( Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) to conduct the first Israeli orchestra and he was so impressed by the new life of the country he was visiting that he stated: “Here in Palestine I have found the country where I can be only Man as I conceive him” (3). These were the times and the place where a Jewish composer, on the eve of those anti-Jewish laws that were to alter radically the landscape of Italian music, was about to set to music a libretto by Carlo Veneziani, a “comedy of manners” racy and romantic, spicy and amusing, in which graceful satire and tart repartees combined to create the kind of wit which, to quote Falstaff,” creates wit in others”.

  • Female Composer Segment Catalogue
    FEMALE CLASSICAL COMPOSERS from past to present ʻFreed from the shackles and tatters of the old tradition and prejudice, American and European women in music are now universally hailed as important factors in the concert and teaching fields and as … fast developing assets in the creative spheres of the profession.’ This affirmation was made in 1935 by Frédérique Petrides, the Belgian-born female violinist, conductor, teacher and publisher who was a pioneering advocate for women in music. Some 80 years on, it’s gratifying to note how her words have been rewarded with substance in this catalogue of music by women composers. Petrides was able to look back on the foundations laid by those who were well-connected by family name, such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, and survey the crop of composers active in her own time, including Louise Talma and Amy Beach in America, Rebecca Clarke and Liza Lehmann in England, Nadia Boulanger in France and Lou Koster in Luxembourg. She could hardly have foreseen, however, the creative explosion in the latter half of the 20th century generated by a whole new raft of female composers – a happy development that continues today. We hope you will enjoy exploring this catalogue that has not only historical depth but a truly international voice, as exemplified in the works of the significant number of 21st-century composers: be it the highly colourful and accessible American chamber music of Jennifer Higdon, the Asian hues of Vivian Fung’s imaginative scores, the ancient-and-modern syntheses of Sofia Gubaidulina, or the hallmark symphonic sounds of the Russian-born Alla Pavlova.
