<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Después de muchas semanas sin escribir en el blog, por no tener apenas tiempo, hoy me dispongo a escribir éste artículo sobre pianistas, compositores e intérpretes.</p>
<p>No pretendo hacer un artículo tan genial como los de mi compañero Tetrasquel, solo dar mi opinión sobre ciertas composiciones que he escuchado últimamente, que no por primera vez.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>En primer lugar, quiero <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">rajar</span> hablar sobre <strong>Richard Clayderman</strong>, pianista francés muy reconocido (y escuchado) generalmente entre gente que no tiene ni puta idea de música. Para definir la obra de Clayderman podemos utilizar el término &#8220;música de ascensor&#8221;, porque no existe un término mas exacto.</p>
<p>A éste pianista se le ocurrió la brillante idea (entre otras cosas) de hacer &#8220;versiones&#8221; de obras maravillosas de Chopin, Debussy etc., orquestándolas de una manera cutre y muy hortera. Para mas información, véase su album &#8220;En su piano sin control. Grandes éxitos&#8221;, y no, no es un chiste. El álbum se llama así.</p>
<p>Para demostrar ésto, os dejo su interpretación de la <em>Sonata para piano número 14</em> (También llamada <em>Quasi una fantasia</em>, Op.27, Nº2, y mal llamada <em>Claro de Luna</em>), de LV Beethoven. Obra que todo el mundo conoce.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">ADVERTENCIA</span>: Es de muy mal gusto. SigoPensando no se hace responsable de los efectos derivados de la escucha prolongada de la siguiente interpretación. Si la quiere escuchar, es bajo su responsabilidad.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ChmPkwWMV0w&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ChmPkwWMV0w&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Ahora la gran pregunta: ¿Cómo es posible que éste hombre vendiese mas de 70 millones de discos?, yo aun no lo entiendo. ¿Por qué la necesidad de orquestar una obra de tal calibre?, ¿Está mejor orquestada?, en fin&#8230;</p>
<p>Por si no fuera poco, ha estropeado la obra mas conocida de la <em>Suite Bergamasque</em> de Debussy (ésto es imperdonable). Yo no me atrevo a buscarlo en YouTube, pero os dejo para los mas valientes un link a Spotify para que se os pongan los pelos de punta. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/4Tz2UiSf73g1ZHKlYacQGA">Pulsar aquí.</a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Para compensar el mal trago que habrá pasado el lector tras la escucha de ésta abominable y horrísona interpretación, dejo <strong>La Interpretación</strong> de <a href="http://mm.motor21.com/%2FEspa%F1ol%2FDeportes%2FMotor%2FMundial_de_Rallies_WRC%2FNoticias%2F35801/loeb_dormir.jpg">Wilhelm Kempff</a>, que es de lo mejor que he escuchado:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/O6txOvK-mAk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/O6txOvK-mAk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>La siguiente persona de la quería hablar es de <strong>Maksim</strong>, un pianista realmente interesante, porque al contrario que Clayderman, sabe interpretar a la perfección obras como la <em>Hungarian Rhapsody nº2</em> de Liszt, pero también hace barbaridades como orquestar el <em>Revolutionary Etude</em> de Chopin de la peor forma posible.</p>
<p>Veamos un ejemplo de la fantástica -y difícil- interpretación de la obra de Franz Liszt:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/byGI1mDi3no&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/byGI1mDi3no&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Fantástica, ¿verdad?. Además de interpretar genial la obra, Maksim está muy cachondo. Pero mucho mucho.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Ahora veamos, de la mano del mismo artista, la interpretación de <em>Revolutionary Etude</em>, de Chopin. Vayan preparando los oidos:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/KSkh5dgn69U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/KSkh5dgn69U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Sin comentarios&#8230;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>En breves haré otro artículo recomendando alguna obra de música clásica, pero tranquilos, no habrá sobresaltos.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Un abrazo a todos.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://rodiazsa.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/colbran.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1154" title="colbran" src="http://rodiazsa.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/colbran.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Después de empezar el año con su fabuloso <a href="http://rodiazsa.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/el-furore-de-la-didonato/">recital dedicado a Haendel </a>ahora la DiDonato acaba de marcarse otro tanto con este monográfico dedicado a la pareja Colbran-Rossini, con una selección de arias de algunos de los personajes que el de Pésaro compuso expresamente para la madrileña.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La voz de Isabel Colbrant, que así era como se la conocía en España, estaba entre la de una soprano dramática de agilidad y la de una mezzo con facilidad para los agudos, con una extensión de más de dos octavas y media hasta el mi sobreagudo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Su relación con Rossini empezó cuando el empresario Domenico Barbaia, que regentaba el napolitano Teatro San Carlos contactó con el de genio Pésaro para que compusiera para su primadonna y amante Isabella Colbran. Así en 1815 Rossini compuso para una Colbran en la cumbre de sus facultades el papel protagonista de Elisabetta, Regina d’Inghilterra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Después de este papel Rossini compuso para ella los papeles protagonistas femeninos de <em>Otello, ossia il Moro di Venezia</em> (1816), <em>Armida</em> (1817), <em>Mosè in Egitto</em> (1818), <em>Ricciardo e Zoraide</em> (1818), <em>Ermione</em> (1819), <em>La donna del lago</em> (1819), <em>Maometto II</em> (1820) y <em>Zelmira</em> (1822), todas ellas estrenadas en Nápoles.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Isabella abandonó definitivamente a Barbaia y a la compañía napolitana para casarse con Rossini en 1822, siendo en 1823 cuando este le compuso el papel protagonista de su <em>Semiramide</em>, estrenada en Venecia, pero la soprano ya empezaba a mostrar signos de decadencia vocal y acabaría retirándose poco después.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En el presente recital la mezzo de Kansas nos regala fragmentos de seis de estas obras. Se ha centrado en los fragmentos más conocidos, como los de Armida, La donna del lago o Semiramide, todos ellos extremadamente comprometidos, por las exigencias técnicas que requiere su interpretación, y sólo se puede decir que el resultado es sobresaliente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">DiDonato tiene una voz de mezzo con cierto color sopranil y con facilidad para ascender al agudo, lo que le permiten cantar estas páginas con bastante soltura. Además, su técnica en la coloratura es excelente, y su canto es expresivamente variado, con lo que cada aria se disfruta plenamente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como primer ejemplo os dejo su versión de la virtuosística aria final de Armida <em>D’amor al dolce impero</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/llskF1jYNGc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/llskF1jYNGc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A medida que se va escuchando el disco se percibe perfectamente la gran comunicatividad del canto de Joyce DiDonato, la virtud de las grandes figuras de la lírica, ese valor añadido que hace que distingue al buen cantante del divo capaz de levantar pasiones.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aquí os dejo otro ejemplo del disco la famosísima <em>Bel raggio lusinghier </em>de la Semiramide, donde DiDonato está perfecta en intención y facultades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JYIU-2UMf4&#38;feature=player_embedded"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/0JYIU-2UMf4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/0JYIU-2UMf4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como única pega solo señalar que si bien cuando asciende al sobreagudo de forma puntual este suena brillante y fácil, cuando ha de cantar frases colgadas en la zona más aguda de la tesitura el agudo queda más engolado y suena más tirante, pero recordemos que es una mezzo y no una dramático d’agilita.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La Orquesta de la Academia Nacional de Santa Cecilia de Roma y Edoardo Muller acompañan primorosamente a la cantante, con destacadas intervenciones de los solistas en varias de las arias (se nota la buena mano de sus últimos directores titulares: Chung y Pappano).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Joyce DiDonato – Rossini – Colbran, The Muse</span> (<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?k0wdxgmotyt">parte1</a>,<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gzwiyokczdw"> parte2</a>)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1.Armida: D’amor al dolce impero</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">2.La donna del lago: Oh mattutini albori</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">3.La donna del lago: Tanti affetti in tal momento</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">4.La donna del lago: Fra il padre, e fra l’amante</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">6.Elisabetta, regina d’Inghilterra: Qant’è grato all’alma mia</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>After listening to <a href="http://entangled.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/from-paganinis-violin-adaptations-on-rossinis-works/">Paganini&#8217;s variations on Rossini&#8217;s works</a>, of course I was intrigued in the original aria by Rossini. Then began my quest to find out more about &#8220;Di Tanti Palpiti&#8221;.</p>
<p>The first place to check was YouTube. That&#8217;s how I got to know <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesselina_Kasarova">Vesselina Kasarova</a>. (well, I saw some youtube clips of her performance before but I just didn&#8217;t register her name).</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/1xYCj3vnPrI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/1xYCj3vnPrI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>No one would miss the classic performance by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Horne">Marilyn Horne</a>. You can find two videos of her singing in YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt5m_qFd2DI">one</a> is live performance in 1977 (the main tune starts at 4:25) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR-HUUx3ej0">the other</a> in 1989 (starts at 4:05). My first impression is that I didn&#8217;t like Marilyn Horne&#8217;s acting on this (she didn&#8217;t look like this role <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). However, later I started to appreciate her voice (see below). Her presentation does not have much emotion though.</p>
<p>Digging further, I found the comparison clips posted by LindoroRossini. LindoroRossini also gave a detailed account on this aria (go to either the following videos at YouTube and look at &#8220;more info&#8221;).</p>
<p><!--more-->Marilyn Horne, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_Valentini_Terrani">Lucia Valentini-Terrani</a> (at 2:53) &#38; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Baltsa">Agnes Baltsa</a> (at 5:35)</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/7KWS7Zd8GJ4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/7KWS7Zd8GJ4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>And <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewa_Podles">Ewa Podles</a>*, Vesselina Kasarova (at 3:00) &#38; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Larmore">Jennifer Larmore</a> (at 6:00)</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/42zVcZEbsjI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/42zVcZEbsjI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Which interpretation do you like? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For easy comparison, I ripped the MP3 files from the above video clips. My personal favorite is the first YouTube clip in my post. Maybe it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s the first one I liked or maybe it&#8217;s her facial expression when singing this aria. Kasarova sounded a little different as compared with her early recording (appeared in LindoroRossini&#8217;s comparison video). Horne&#8217;s singing here sounds better than the early two stage performances I found. And I got to like her interpretation more.</p>
<p>There are another two mezzo-soprano&#8217;s clips at YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ri6_V5hc0">Cecilia Bartoli</a> (from her debut album &#8220;A Portrait&#8221; in 1995) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXaCzkBeH44">Elina Garanca</a> (from &#8220;Bel Canto&#8221; in 2009). To me, their voices are not fit to the role, but that&#8217;s just my subjective preference. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After listening to this aria so many times, I even wanted to learn how to sing it by myself. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (Singing is not difficult but singing well is.)</p>
<p>* Performed at Opera Boston this October.</p>

<p>One of the stars of the period instrument music scene and now a leading opera conductor, Corsican-born Jean-Christophe Spinosi makes his CBSO debut with a sparkling programme featuring this year&#8217;s anniversary composer Haydn. Two of the latter&#8217;s splendid Paris symphonies are separated by arias by Rossini, sung by one of today&#8217;s leading mezzos, acclaimed for her &#8216;Carmen&#8217; at Glyndebourne.  <a href="http://www.cbso.co.uk">www.cbso.co.uk</a></p>

<p><span style="color:#800080;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;&#8230;Shaham’s allure was equally to the fore in Rosina’s Una voce poco fa from Il Barbiere – a natural for the part of Rossini’s sex kitten. She was a veritable minx, but one with also a sting in her tale as her vigorous tantrum demonstrated. The orchestral closure after her thrilling climactic top was overtaken by the applause. We loved her but an encore in the middle of a concert? Not an option.  &#8230; &#8220;</span><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Carmen, Carmela,  me reenvía por email este video, con el siguiente texto:</p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Este &#8220;duetto&#8221; lo compuso Rossini  para mofarse de las sopranos que desafinaban. No pertenece a ninguna de sus óperas.<br />
<em>Rossini </em>era un cachondo mental y un disfrutón de la vida. Dejó de trabajar<br />
(componer) a sus 33 años y se dedicó a vivir; fue un reputado gourmet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Se suele cantar a dos voces femeninas (mezzo y soprano), acompañadas de piano, y su única letra es el <em>miau </em>de los gatos. De ahí que resultase fácil para las<br />
cantantes en cuanto a la letra. Pero la música tiene mucha dificultad,<br />
especialmente la entonación.<br />
Disfrútalo en esta ocasión con voces blancas (es decir, niños). Vale la pena.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I had a great night out last night. Let me tell you the story&#8230;</p>
<p>Some time ago I ended up signing up on a website called itison.com it makes offers to you to attend &#8220;events&#8221; free of charge. I&#8217;ve been offered piles of stuff &#8211; openings of new restaurants, art gallery events &#8211; new collections, parties in pubs and the best to date, a concert given by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Paul Lewis.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be honest &#8211; I&#8217;ve been out of the classical music concerts scene for something like 20 years. I&#8217;ve seen opera in that time and listened to bits on radio or on CD and I attended a concert in Edinburgh that one of my daughters was singing in, but other than that zilch. SO I was like a child in some ways returning to what was my old stamping ground: the City Halls in Glasgow is where the SNO (Scottish National Orchestra) used to play every Saturday night under the baton of Alexander Gibson. It shows how things move on &#8211; this was before the Royal Concert Hall was built, before the SNO got it&#8217;s Royal charter and before Alexander Gibson got his knighthood and before the Theatre Royal was re-opened as Scottish opera&#8217;s home in Glasgow. So much has changed.</p>
<p>&#8230;and the City Halls have changed. And how.</p>
<p>The Grand Hall is now a modern &#8220;pine coloured&#8221; auditorium with ultra modern chandeliers. Where I sang with the SNO chorus is now plush seating and the performance area reduced to chamber size. I was excited to see it so different.</p>
<p>Jennifer and I had been allocated 2 seats in the stalls. One slight drawback of our seats was that there is a raised seating area all round the hall and its floor level was in line with my ears. Initially I didn&#8217;t even consider this as a problem.</p>
<p>As the lights dimmed suddenly, and the leader of the SCO &#8220;tuned&#8221; the band, all of my youthful memories came flooding back, as did the memory of my schoolfriends&#8230;.</p>
<p>When Andrew Manze arrived on the podium, I relaxed and waited for the Webern to start. Instead he spoke to us about the music we were about to hear. without a mic. It was really good, helpful and it felt like we were sharing in the performance not attending it. Oh, and another thing &#8211; gone is the formal dress, the white shirt, tie and black dinner suits for the men and long black dresses for the ladies. Everyone looks more comfortable. The double bassist I could see had his sleeves rolled up and was wearing a  black shirt open at the neck. As the concert went on I could see why &#8211; he was pretty busy and clearly using a lot of effort!</p>
<p>Anyway the concert rolled on. Paul Lewis was amazing. Funnily enough I had heard him accidentally a few days before on radio 3 which I had accidentally tuned into in the car.</p>
<p>Interval</p>
<p>The 6th Symphony of Schubert &#8211; I thought I hadn&#8217;t heard this before but I remembered bits of it as I went through. And here was where the problem with the seating started. The 6th is a cheerful little piece full of catchy tunes and as Andrew Manze said in his introduction, with references to Mozart, Haydn and Rossini. Unfortunately with one gentleman&#8217;s feet precisely beside  my right ear, you can guess the rest. He enjoyed the music so much that his feet (involuntarily I hope) began to tap in time with the music. Ever so quietly. So quietly I guess that he couldn&#8217;t hear it. So quietly that I guess of all the other concertgoers heard nothing.</p>
<p>But I heard it.</p>
<p>tap. tap. tap. tap. tap.</p>
<p>tap. tap tappety tap.</p>
<p>The whole night was fantastic.</p>
<p>I hope I get to go again and relive my youth again</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In Wiens „Neuem Opernhaus“, wie sich das altehrwürdige Haus am Naschmarkt nennt, war eine Rarität zu hören und eine Inszenierung zu bewundern. René Jacobs, der gefeierte und berühmte Spezialist für alte Musik, dirigiert dort einen frühen Rossini, eine opera seria, ein „meldodramma eroico“, das der gerade mal 21 jährige Komponist im Jahre 1813 in Venedig uraufführte. Jacobs und Rossini, das scheint auf den ersten Blick nicht so recht zusammen zu passen. Doch schon bald konstatiert der verblüffte Zuhörer, dass Maestro Jacobs mit dem Orchestre des Champs-Elysées, das auf historischen Instrumenten spielt, einen Rossini präsentiert, wie man ihn vielleicht noch nie so gehört hat: einen sanften und doch zugleich spielerisch-ironischen Rossini, der selbst im Crescendo nie die Sänger zudeckt. Mögen die Musikhistoriker und die professionellen Kritiker dazu sagen, was sie wollen. Mir als musikalischem Laien, der schon so manche Male einen scheppernden Rossini gehört und erlitten hat, mir hat die Interpretation, die Jacobs vorgeschlagen hat, mehr als gefallen. Und wenn man dann noch erfährt, dass der Maestro „zahlreiche Verzierungen rekonstruiert hat“, dann erkennt man auch noch im Nachhinein, dass man einen ungewöhnlichen Rossini-Abend erlebt hat. Wie der musikalische Part so bewegt sich auch die Inszenierung auf ungewöhnlich hohem Niveau. Regisseur Stephen  Lawless hat die romantische Liebesgeschichte zwischen dem Outlaw Tancredi und seiner Jugendfreundin und den Streit zwischen zwei feindlichen Familien, die sich angesichts eines gemeinsamen äußeren Feindes notgedrungen versöhnen, aus dem mittelalterlichen Syrakus in das faschistische Italien der 30er Jahre transponiert. In dieser Welt, die von exzessivem Macho-Wahn, von rigorosem Körperkult und Kraftmeierei dominiert wird, sind Frauen nur Spielzeuge und Puppen, über die nach Belieben verfügt wird und die hier im konkreten Fall als Pfand der Versöhnung: sprich als Braut  zu Verfügung gestellt wird. In diesem Szenarium stolziert man in Stiefeln umher, trägt das obligatorische Schwarzhemd und das Berett, fuchtelt mit Dolch und Karabiner herum, lugt vor lauter Verklemmtheit den Frauen unter die Röcke. Und wenn dann noch der Vater der Zwangsbraut  in der Mussolini Maske und der Anführer der Gegenpartei, mit der der Duce sich gerade versöhnt hat, als arroganter hoher Offizier auftreten, dann könnte man sich in einem faschistischen Dokumentarfilm glauben, ja wenn die Regie nicht mit den Mitteln der Übertreibung und Karikatur gegensteuern würde. Doch erschreckend und einschüchternd wirkt diese Machowelt allemal, auch wenn sie im Schlussakt, beim Auftritt der feindlichen Sarazenen, die in ihren langen schwarzen Gewändern wie moslemische Frauen auf dem Weg zu einer nicht genehmigten Demonstration wirken und die dabei die Machomännchen  am Wickel haben, gleichsam karnevalisiert wird. Und wo bleibt bei alledem das romantische Liebespaar? Armenaide, so nennt sich die Schöne, die dem Faschistenführer zugesprochen wurde und doch Tancredi angehören möchte und  der schon im Libretto und von der Musik her sowieso die Hauptrolle zufällt, die Arme ist ständig das Opfer eines Psychoterrors, an dem sich nicht nur die faschistischen Machos, die sie hinrichten wollen, sondern auch ihr Retter  Tancredi, der sie gleich zweimal der Untreue verdächtigt, beteiligt. Tancredi, der doch im Rothemd der Garibaldi Anhänger auf Sizilien gelandet war, um die Insel zu befreien und die Geliebte für sich zu gewinnen. Dieser Tancredi, wenn er auch als romantischer Liebhaber daher kommt, ist, so suggeriert es die Regie, schon von Macho Wahn infiziert und im Finale bricht diese Krankheit vollends aus. Tancredi, der die Feinde besiegt hat, kehrt als Schwarzhemd zurück, schart sich in die Schar der Machofaschisten ein und würdigt die Geliebte keines Blicks mehr. „La mia felicità&#8230;.“ das ist nicht die romantische Liebe, sondern Macht und Gewalt in einer Männerwelt. Ein lieto fine in der Tat, das, mag es auch mit einem ironischen Augenzwinkern herüberkommen, die romantische Liebe erledigt und den Garibaldi-Mythos so nebenbei noch mit. Garibaldi wird vom Faschismus absorbiert. – Ein großer Opernabend im Theater an der Wien. Wie schade nur, dass dieses Haus ein Stagione Theater ist. Diesen Rossini hätte ich gerne noch einmal gehört und gesehen. Wir sahen am 23. Oktober die letzte Vorstellung. Die Premiere war am 15. Oktober 2009.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>The Beginning</strong></p>
<p>Recently I was fascinated by Paganini&#8217;s violin adaptations on some opera works (actually variations). First by Paganini&#8217;s Variations on the G String on a Theme from Rossini&#8217;s &#8220;Mose&#8221;[1]. The version I have is played by David Oistrakh in 1952 from this CD box set &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Concertos-Encores-Max-Bruch/dp/B001BSH0SU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=music&#38;qid=1256279345&#38;sr=8-2">Concertos and Encores</a>&#8220;, which I bought not long ago.</p>
<p>The best version I found in YouTube is the one played by Kogan (its mono sound quality is slightly poor than Oistrakh&#8217;s but is listenable)</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/z4ny6m5u0sg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/z4ny6m5u0sg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>All those beautiful notes just come from one string in the violin. Quite amazing. Notice that the change of tempo and style at 2:45. Kogan&#8217;s playing after 2:45 is faster than Oistrakh&#8217;s by 40 seconds.</p>
<p><strong>The Passage</strong></p>
<p>I actually have some CDs of Paganini&#8217;s adaptation works (need to check) before, but they didn&#8217;t drive me into obsession mode. Now I wanted more. More, for instance, on this aria from Rossini&#8217;s, and more on Paganini&#8217;s adaptation works for violin. And that got me to know his &#8220;I Palpiti&#8221;, Op13, from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Art-Ruggiero-Ricci-Giorgio/dp/B0001NPTX4">The Art of Ruggiero Ricci</a> (disc two from a 5CD box set) (which is accompanied by the orchestra).<br />
<!--more--><br />
I Palpiti (Variations on &#8220;Di tanti palpiti&#8221; from Rossini&#8217;s Tancredi): here are two versions found in YouTube</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/0AkoRzJw1sY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/0AkoRzJw1sY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>See <a href="http://www.bh2000.net/special/patzak/detail.php?id=3175">this</a> for more about Franco Gulli.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ndL5DX_cWkc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ndL5DX_cWkc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Ivry Gitlis is the commentator in &#8220;The Art of Violin&#8221; DVD (along with Itzhak Palman; I have that DVD).</p>
<p>Later, I noticed that I already had <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Virtuoso-Vengerov-Antonio-Bazzini/dp/B000000SHY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=music&#38;qid=1256277198&#38;sr=8-2">Vengerov&#8217;s 1993 recording</a> of &#8220;I Palpilti&#8221; for a while (before the year 2000, I think), and apparently I wasn&#8217;t very interested. Not sure whether it&#8217;s Vengerov or me. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':?' class='wp-smiley' />  People change. Now I went back to listen his playing with more attention. Hmm.. it&#8217;s all right. :&#124;</p>
<p>I also got Arthur Grumiaux&#8217;s recording in 1956-58 from The Early Recordings (a 3CD box set) from the library. Grumiaux&#8217;s playing is much gentle. Quite different. It&#8217;s the longest one among the versions I have heard.</p>
<p>For a quick comparison, let&#8217;s listen to the ending after the slow section, which is about 1 min to nearly 2 min:</p>

<li><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/0yuhpb7g8k">Gulli&#8217;s</a> (after 08:48) &#8212; the shortest one. After a little bit cadenza around 0:35, Gulli ends it very quickly without extra exaggeration.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3tzmv79ag3">Gitlis&#8217;s</a> (after 7:28)  &#8212; the 2nd shortest. His version is the same as Ricci, but faster after 0:37 when the the melodic tune (related to the main theme) comes in, which is not heard in Gulli&#8217;s.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/sjr1f638h0">Ricci&#8217;s</a> (after 08:16)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/81ogoif7ql">Vengerov&#8217;s</a> (after 09:05) &#8212; I think this has Kreisler&#8217;s arrangement. It&#8217;s like Gulli&#8217;s but without Gulli&#8217;s little cadenza, and repeats the same quick tempo of the first part (0:37&#8211;1:00) before goes to the ending.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/sda66tnxra">Grumiaux&#8217;s</a> (after 09:05) &#8212; the slowest one. Grumiaux adds some extra notes after 0:38 before playing the melodic tune at 0:48. He does that in a slower tempo than Ricci&#8217;s.</li>
</ul>
<p>Notice that the overall volume is about 89 dB for the complete tracks but the intensity for this part is different among them.</p>
<p>Which ending do you like? Personally, it&#8217;s Ricci&#8217;s that first got my attention and put me into a quest (well, sort of <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ), so that would have more weight than others. I&#8217;m not keen on Kreisler&#8217;s arrangement here. Maybe that explains why I wasn&#8217;t very interested before, does it? :&#124;</p>
<p>(to be continued)</p>

<description><![CDATA[No voy a hacer muchos comentarios de este extraordinaria recopilación de arias que la soprano catala]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1052" href="http://rodiazsa.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/mis-favoritos-montserrat-caballe-%e2%80%93-rossini-donizetti-y-verdi-rarites/caballerara/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1052" title="Caballerara" src="http://rodiazsa.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/caballerara.jpg" alt="Caballerara" width="400" height="398" /></a></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;">No voy a hacer muchos comentarios de este extraordinaria recopilación de arias que la soprano catalana grabó entre 1968 y 1970, y que representaron una pequeña revolución dentro del mundo de la lírica, ya que no era usual que una cantante recién ascendida al estrellato se dedicara a grabar, en vez de las piezas más trilladas del repertorio sopranil, una serie de escenas y arias de obras escasísimamente representadas o totalmente olvidadas.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;">El ansia de la Caballé por hacer arqueología musical tiene aquí su primer y uno de los más suculentos frutos, con la soprano en plenitud de facultades, Sólo decir que muchas de las arias que aquí se recogen después fueron interpretadas en recuperaciones de las obras, algunas de ellas protagonizadas por la misma Caballé; y que muchas de ellas han pasado a formar parte del repertorio de otras ilustres compañeras.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;">La voz de la Caballé suena sin mácula y su canto es realmente cautivador por musicalidad, estilo y matices, si bien podría decirse que con el tiempo mejoraría en la emisión del registro grave y perfeccionaría en la ejecución de algunos pasajes de coloratura.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;">Estos discos son una joya de valor incalculable que todo amante del belcanto debería conocer y atesorar.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hoxe traio un dos fragmentos máis coñecidos de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioachino_Rossini">Gioachino Rossini</a>.

<description><![CDATA[Dopo un anno di ferventi attività, eccoci nuovamente con un ricchissimo programma scolastico e inizi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Dopo un anno di ferventi attività, eccoci nuovamente con un  ricchissimo programma  scolastico e iniziative  per tutti gli amanti della  musica, ma prima vale  l’impegno ricordare l’anno  trascorso, che è stato, oltre  che laborioso, folto di spettacoli.<br />
I concerti di primavera svoltesi  al Teatro Dante hanno  visto calcare la scena da  “star” internazionali della  grande musica. Due concerti  di Debora  Tempestini, oramai  nota e bravissima  pianista formatasi  alla nostra  scuola sotto l’egida  del Maestro  Massimo Barsotti  e dell’orchestra  della scuola, sempre  da lui diretta.  Note sotto le stelle,  piacevolissima e  socievole festa vissuta  nel giardino  della scuola, che ha intrattenuto lungo  l’intero mese di luglio tutti coloro  (ed erano molti) che, fra un caffè  ed uno show musicale hanno goduto  le belle sere estive: allievi, amici,  musicisti, famiglie hanno potuto  vedere esibirsi, non solo gli artisti di  casa ma anche musicisti e cantanti  di altre realtà. Vi sono state anche  proiezioni di graditi  films musicali.<br />
Quest’anno aprono nuovi corsi di canto  lirico e, nuova  iniziativa della scuola  che merita un’attenzione  particolare,  al coro lirico-polifonico,  che debutterà  iniziando le prove presso la  scuola di musica a partire da lunedì  12 ottobre alle ore 21. Il coro affronterà  prevalentemente un repertorio  lirico, ispirato al grande repertorio  italiano da Donizetti a Puccini,  da Rossini a Verdi, senza disdegnare  la polifonia classica. Il coro, che sarà  diretto dal M° Riccardo Montinaro  avrà anche il supporto  dell’insegnate di canto  lirico della scuola di musica,  la cantante professoressa  Daniela Losi che periodicamente  darà supporto  tecnico-vocale. La scuola,  oltre ai numerosi allievi  dei corsi di strumento, conta  già al suo interno numerose  realtà importanti  come l‘orchestra di quasi  40 ragazzi diretta dal direttore  della scuola Massimo  Barsotti, il coro di voci  bianche diretto dal M°  Alberto Salvo ed il coro gospel  diretto dall’insegnate  di canto moderno della  scuola M° Luca Luglio. La  partecipazione ai cori è possibile senza  obbligo di frequentare lezioni di  canto o strumento indivuale.<br />
Per informazioni e iscrizioni, la segreteria  della Scuola di Musica è  aperta con i seguenti orari: lunedì,  mercoledì e venerdì dalle 15 alle 19  e martedì e giovedì dalle 10 alle 13  presso la sede in via Vittorio Veneto  111 &#8211; Campi Bisenzio.  Per informazioni tel. 055 891843,  347 4004233, e-mail: info@musicam.it<br />

<p>Vakar apmeklēju kino <a href="http://twitter.com/forumcinemaslv" target="_blank">@Forumcinemas</a>, biju uz filmu <strong><a href="http://www.shrinkthemovie.net/" target="_blank">Shrink</a></strong>, sen nebija nekas tik sakarīgs skatīts.<br />
Sapīpējies Kevins Speisijs, ļoti laba mūzika, vienīgais, kas nepatika bija pārāk pozitīvais fināls.. gribējās kaut ko skumjāku un nelaimīgāku.<br />
Varu ieteikt kā labu 2h laika pavadīšanu.<br />
Pēdējā laikā vispār zūd vēlme iet uz kino, tur tāpat kā daudzās citās sfērās nespēju atrast sev neko saistošu.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rossini.lv/riga/bilder/restorans_rossini_interjers.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="109" />Jau laicīgi, zinot par iestādes lielo apmeklētību, norezervēju galdiņu <strong><a href="http://www.rossini.lv/riga/riga.html" target="_blank">Rossini</a></strong>, lai pēc filmas ieturētu vakariņas un apskatītos par ko tad tik daudzi cilvēki ir sajūsmā.<br />
Vieta patiešām patīkami pārsteidza &#8211; mājīgi, laba apkalpošana, forša&#38;atbilstoša mūzika, draudzīgas cenas un ļooooti garšīgi ēdieni.<br />
Ēdām dārzeņu salātus ar vistu un rīvmaizē panēto vistas krūtiņu ar siera mērci + divas Lattes un H2O.<br />
Telpas tās pašas, kurās savulaik mitinājās Čīzbārs, bet iegūstamie <em>fīlingi</em> pavisam citi.</p>
<p>Viennozīmīgi varu ieteikt šo vietu jebkuram, kurš vēlās pavadīt vakaru/dienu/pusdienlaiku mājīgā gaisotnē ar teicamu apkalpošanu, mūziku un nejēgā gardiem ēdieniem.</p>
