Bereits vor zwei Jahren ist Ingeborg Solbrekkens Biographie über Kirsten Flagstad auf Norwegisch erschienen. Flagstad war die international bestbezahlte Sängerin in Zeiten eines Weltkriegs, der von Deutschland ausging – und sie sang vor allem Musik des deutschen Komponisten Richard Wagner. Das sind bereits zwei Gründe, dieses Buch auch in Deutschland zu lesen, meint SWR2-Rezensent Matthias Nöther.

durée : 00:59:53 - Été Classique Matin du mercredi 12 juillet 2023 - par : Lionel Esparza - Considérée comme l'une des plus grandes sopranos du XXe siècle, Kirsten Flagstad était particulièrement reconnue pour ses performances dans le répertoire wagnérien. Sa voix puissante et son interprétation passionnée lui ont valu une renommée mondiale.

Synopsis The German composer Richard Strauss wrote his first song at age 6, and his last at age 84, a year before his death in 1949. Four of his last songs were for soprano and orchestra. These Four Last Songs, as they came to be known, were premiered in London, at the Royal Albert Hall, on today's date in 1950. Strauss had written to the great Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad, suggesting "I would like to make it possible that [the songs] should be at your disposal for a world premiere ... with a first-class conductor and orchestra.” Flagstad did sing the premiere performances, with the first-rate Philharmonia Orchestra of London conducted by the legendary German conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler. In addition to those famous performers, credit for the realization of Strauss's request is also due to an unlikely and exotic patron of the arts, namely the Maharaja of Mysore, who put up a cash guarantee for the Strauss premiere. And since he could not be present himself, the Maharaja asked that the premiere be recorded and the discs shipped to him in Mysore. The Maharaja had wanted to be concert pianist, but the deaths of both his father and his uncle forced him to succeed to the throne in 1940 at the age of 21. In addition to underwriting the Strauss premiere, the young Maharaja championed the music of the Russian composer Nikolas Medtner, and, in 1945, the creation of the Philharmonia Orchestra of London as a recording ensemble for the enterprising EMI producer Walter Legge. In addition to Western classical music, the Maharaja was passionate about the court music of his native land, and, under the pen name of Shri Vidya, himself composed almost 100 works in the South Indian tradition.

Today's guest and my very first guest on the Thriving singer podcast is non-other than the great David Jones, who has developed an international career as an author, vocal pedagogue, teacher of singers, and teachers in Europe and the U.S.  David is celebrating 50 successful years of teaching the fall of 2022 He has trained singers performing at opera houses and festivals such as the New York City Opera, San Francisco Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, Berlin Staatsoper, Vienna Staatsoper, Opera North U.K. the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, the Glyndebourne Opera Festival, Salzburg Festival, and L'Opera Bastille in Paris. David Jones is a graduate of Texas Christian University with graduate research at the University of North Texas. Having also researched at the Groningen University Hospital (Groningen, The Netherlands) and the Laboratoire de la Voix Voice Clinic in Paris, he has had the opportunity to study how Old World concepts can be therapeutic in treating voice disorders. He also works in conjunction with the practice of Laryngologist Dr. Benjamin Asher in New York. In 1979, he studied with internationally known vocal pedagogue Allan R. Lindquest (1891-1984), founding member of NATS and the Amercian Academy of Teachers of Singing. It was through Mr. Jones' study with Lindquest that he learned the concepts of Lindquest's teachers, which included Enrico Caruso, Mme. Ingebjard-Isene (teacher of Flagstad), Joseph Hislop, Maestro Rosati (teacher of Gigli), and Mme. Novikova. Additional instructors of the Lindquest concepts with whom David Jones studied include Virginia Botkin, Dr. Suzanne Hickman, and Dr. Barbara Mathis, who performed scientific research on the therapeutic benefits of the exercises. It was through this study that Mr. Jones studied the concepts of the Swedish-Italian School of singing. In 1982, Mr. Jones studied with Dixie Neill, the primary teacher of Ben Hepner, and later with Dr. Evelyn Reynolds. Dr. Reynold's teachers included Lola Fletcher (student of Herbert Witherspoon), tenor Hollis Arment, William Vennard, author of “Singing: The Mechanism and the Technique”, and Ralph Erolle, instructor of the well-known soprano Arleen Auger. David Jones has trained singers performing at such opera houses and festivals as the New York City Opera, San Francisco Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, Berlin Staatsoper, Vienna Staatsoper, Opera North U.K. the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, the Glyndebourne Opera Festival, Salzburg Festival, and L'Opera Bastille in Paris. Mr. Jones has been published by both European NATS and Classical Singer Magazine. Presenting seminars for teachers twice yearly in New York City and in Europe, he now dedicates his energy toward sharing information with teachers, writing articles, and teaching in his New York Studio and in Europe. In our interview we travel far and wide, exploring how he got into the world of singing and how he gathered and refined the concepts he now teaches.  We talk about vocal trauma and what causes it, the importance of sensations in singing, diagnosing Fach, and what a voice type consists of. We talk about collaborative teaching, and problem-solving together with the student, making them aware of the process.  We dive into the realm of feeling safe in a voice lesson and what not to put up with. How some teachers might be qualified in their information but not in the psychology of teaching. Connecting mind and body through work such as Feldenkreis or Alexander Technique and the importance of identifying and releasing tension whatever the cause may be. And last but not least how to work with different coaches while keeping your technique. And many other things connected to healthy singing.

The German composer Richard Strauss wrote his first song at age 6, and his last at age 84, a year before his death in 1949. Four of his last songs were for soprano and orchestra, settings of one poem by the Romantic poet Josef von Eichendorff, and three by the modern poet and novelist Hermann Hesse. These “Four Last Songs,” as they came to be known, were premiered in London, at the Royal Albert Hall, on today’s date in 1950. Strauss had written to the great Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad, suggesting "I would like to make it possible that [the songs] should be at your disposal for a world premiere … with a first-class conductor and orchestra.” Flagstad did sing the premiere performances, with the first-rate Philharmonia Orchestra of London conducted by the legendary German conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler. In addition to those famous performers, credit for the realization of Strauss’s request is also due to an unlikely and exotic patron of the arts, namely the Maharaja of Mysore, Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar Bahudar, who put up a cash guarantee for the Strauss premiere. And since he could not be present himself, the Maharaja asked that the premiere be recorded and the discs shipped to him in Mysore. The Maharaja had wanted to be concert pianist, but the deaths of both his father and his uncle forced him to succeed to the throne in 1940 at the age of 21.

I hele sitt voksne liv samlet Arne Dørumsgaard på plateinnspillinger og lydbånd. Da Stavanger kommune fikk hele samlingen på 80-tallet, veide den 40 tonn. Samlingen ble grunnmuren og mye av reisverket i det som nå er Norsk lydinstitutt. "Første gang jeg besøkte Dørumsgaard i Italia forsto jeg at dette var en samling med en tanke bak. Han ønsket å dokumentere hvordan utøvelsen av kjent klassisk musikk endrer seg over tid. Denne samlingen tjener formålet, sier fagkonsulent Per Dahl ved lydinstituttet. Det var Dahl som hadde kontakten med Dørumsgaard etter at Nasjonalbiblioteket ikke kunne ta imot tilbudet fra Dørumsgaard. "Det kan jeg forstå. For det skulle mye arbeid til å få registrert og katalogisert dette enorme materialet, sier Dahl. Arne Dørumsgaard vokste opp i Fredrikstad og blant barndomsvennene hans var domorganist Søren Gangfløt – som også ble den første professoren i kirkemusikk ved Musikkhøyskolen i Oslo, og Karsten Andersen. Den av de fremste norske dirigentene i det forrige århundre. "Dørumsgaard tok selv utdannelse i sang ved Musikkonservatoriet i Oslo. Etter krigen ble han så opprørt over behandlingen av verdensstjernen Kirsten Flagstad, at han forlot Norge for godt. Flagstad ble beskyldt for å være nazist og ble dårlig behandlet av norske myndigheter. Det er ettertrykkelig fastslått at hun ikke var det. Han flyttet til Paris og utdannet seg videre i sang og ble en slags coach for sangere som skulle spille inn plater, forteller Dahl Senere giftet han seg og flyttet til Italia. Hele tiden samlet han plater. Det ble omkring 100 000 plater og tusenvis av spolebånd og andre opptaksmedier. "Samlingen er åpen for alle som vil komme for å se og høre, forteller Dahl. Særlig viktig er samlingen av norske musikere som har spilt inn plater i utlandet. "De andre sangerne" eller Norvegica-samlingen. Foruten musikklivet i Stavanger, blir samlingen besøkt av doktorgrasforskere og andre som vil studere utviklingen i fremførelsespraksis. Sendt første gang lørdag 31/3 2018.

Former concert Oboist Marcia Butler discusses her new book "The Skin Above My Knee - A Memoir" Marcia Butler's childhood was an emotionally and physically abusive wasteland.  Populated with a cold and distant mother, a sexually abusive father, and an older sister (who was also abused), young Marcia found solace only in music.  At four years of age, her spirit was forever imprinted after emotionally connecting with Norwegian opera singer Kirstan Flagstad's inimitable performance in Tristan and Isolde.  Every Sunday her mother blasted the Wagner aria at high volume as she vacuumed the family home, thus creating a ritual that Marcia eagerly anticipated every week. Flagstad's profound impact on Marcia lead her to pursue a career in music.  Ultimately, Marcia became an extremely accomplished oboist, performing at the highest orchestral levels - even as she fought her childhood demons.  Marcia Butler talks with Dr. Drew and Dr. Bruce about how music literally saved her life. Outro contains a public domain excerpt from Tristan Und Isolde courtesy of the www.the-wagnerian.com Sponsored by Bergamet ProPlus and Hydralyte.

Kirsten Flagstad ble født i Kirkegata på Hamar i 1885 og sang seg fram til de fornemste operahus og konsertsaler over hele verden. I sin genre var hun på høyde med Henrik Ibsen og Edvard Munck i berømmelse. Men krigen bidro til å kaste mørke skygger over hennes liv. "Kirsten Flagstad ble mobbet. Og kongehuset var passivt med på mobbingen. Behandlingen av Kirsten Flagstad her i landet er skandaløs" sier Flagstad-biograf Ingeborg Solbrekken. Forfatteren har også skrevet bok om landssviksoppgjøret etter krigen som rammet verdensstjernen hardt – fordi hun ifølge Solbrekken ble slått i hartkorn med sin mann, Henry Johansen. Han var NS-medlem fram til 1941 og drev handel med tyskerne gjennom sine trelastbedrifter. "Med tiden ønsker museet å få til en utstilling også som omhandler krigen og landssvikoppgjøret som fikk så direkte innvirkning på Flagstads liv, sier museumsleder Annika Åsen. Programleder er Jan Henrik Ihlebæk.

Norges Bank har begynt arbeidet med å utvikle en ny serie med sedler. Etter at den skandinaviske myntunion ble etablert i 1877 har Norge hatt 7 seddelserier, og nå kommer den 8. men denne gangen har Norges bank noen nye utfordringer å løse som de ikke trengte å tenke på før.

The great Astrid Varnay was born on April 25, 1918. Let us celebrate the memory of this legendary soprano with highlights from her illustrious career. All selections are from the 1950's and they include scenes from Parsifal, Tannhauser (Venus and Elizabeth),Tristan und Isolde, Flying Dutchman (with Hans Hotter),Elektra (w.Hoengen and Schoeffler, and concluding with the Gotterdmaerung Immolation Scene.  (68 min.) She made her sensational debut at the Metropolitan Opera on 6 December 1941 in a broadcast performance singing Sieglinde in Wagner's Die Walküre, substituting for the indisposed Lotte Lehmann with almost no rehearsal. This was her first appearance in a leading role, and it was a triumph. Six days later she replaced the ailing Helen Traubel as Brünnhilde in the same opera. Varnay and Weigert became closer and were married in 1944. It was also at this time that she had lessons with former Metropolitan Opera tenor, Paul Althouse. In 1948 she made her debut at Covent Garden and in 1951 in Florence as Lady Macbeth. In that year she also made her debut at Bayreuth after Flagstad, who had declined the invitation to Bayreuth, recommended that Wieland Wagner engage Varnay. She sang at Bayreuth for the next seventeen years, and appeared regularly at the Metropolitan until 1956. She left when it was clear that the Met director Rudolf Bing did not appreciate her, and went on to become a mainstay of the world's other great opera houses, especially in Germany, in Wagner and Strauss but also several Verdi and other roles. She had already made Munich her home, where audiences considered her a goddess. In 1969 she gave up her repertoire of heavy dramatic soprano roles and began a new career singing mezzo roles. After being the world's leading Elektra for over twenty years, she now established herself as a great interpreter of Klytemnestra. The role of Herodias in Salome became her most often-performed role: 236 performances. She returned to the Metropolitan in 1974 and last appeared there in Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny in 1979. In the mid-1980s, character roles now became Varnay's metier. Her last appearance on stage was in Munich in 1995, fifty-five years after her Metropolitan debut. In 1998 she published her autobiography Fifty-Five Years in Five Acts: My Life in Opera, written with Donald Arthur (German title is Hab'mir's gelobt). In 2004, a documentary about her life and first New York career entitled Never Before, produced by Donald Collup, received acclaim in the USA. Her recordings of Strauss heroines such as Elektra and Salome along with the Wagnerian roles are among the treasures of the medium, while transcriptions of broadcast performances of her great roles document her art in sound, and a few video recordings of her late career preserve evidence of her acting ability. Astrid Varnay died in Munich on 4 September 2006, aged 88. Selected recordings
