You've never heard the story of Romeo and Juliet told like this! Not even if you have listened to the three previous episodes in which Pat and Kathleen discuss three operas based on the enduring tale of the “star-crossed lovers,” Ep. 120 Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, Ep. 124 Vaccai's Giulietta e Romeo, Ep. 126 Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi.   Hector Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette is a “dramatic symphony” in which three choirs and three soloists help tell the story of the two iconic lovers, who are themselves voiced by the orchestra.  Please join us for our discussion of this magnificent and unusual work.

DescriptionGounod's Divine Remix: A Heavenly Twist on Bach in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactGounod's Ave Maria wasn't originally intended as a standalone work. It began as an improvisation over Bach's 1722 prelude, and the Latin prayer was added later. Today, it's often mistakenly credited to Bach alone, despite Gounod's soaring melody being the emotional centerpiece that transformed it into a sacred favorite.__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

I've already done a Lententide episode devoted to contraltos singing the music of Bach, but it seemed to me that in the upheaval of today's vengeful and war-hungry world, we could use another contemplative episode to provide us with meditative (and even tuneful!) music to calm our spirits. The tunefulness comes especially from recordings of favorite religious music by Gounod, Franck, and other 19th-century French composers sung by Camille Maurane, Marcel Journet, Richard Verreau, and Françoise Pollet. Also included are a live excerpt from Parsifal with Jon Vickers and Hans Knappertsbusch; the miraculous yet voiceless Hugues Cuénod performing an excerpt from the first of Couperin's Leçons de Ténèbres; the unsung German-British soprano Ilse Wolf in a live performance of the Bach Johannes-Passion conducted by Pablo Casals; Gundula Janowitz in a searing but brief aria from Mendelssohn's Paulus; excerpts from settings of the Stabat Maters of Haydn and Dvorák, sung by Alfreda Hodgson, Sena Jurinac, and Heinz Hoppe; the original version of Hendrik Andriessen's exquisite Miroir de Peine cycle for voice and organ featuring our beloved Elly Ameling; and Jennie Tourel in an excerpt from her ultra-rare recording of Hindemith's Das Marienleben preceded by Lotte Lehmanns's recitation of the same Rilke poem. The episode begins and ends with realizations by Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett of Baroque masters Henry Purcell and Pelham Humfrey sung, respectively, by Peter Pears and John Shirley-Quirk. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Der Männerchor Zürich ist einer der grossen Konzertmännerchöre der Schweiz. Der Chor kann auf eine 200-jährige Tradition zurückschauen. Das Männerchorrepertoire mit Orchesterbegleitung ist ein zentraler Teil seines Repertoires. Gegründet wurde der Männerchor Zürich am 2. Oktober 1826. Der Chor feiert im nächsten Jahr somit das 200-Jahr-Jubiläum. Seit Anbeginn besteht eine direkte Verbindung zur Tonhalle Zürich. Über die ganzen Jahre wurden immer wieder Werke von berühmten Komponisten in aufwändigen Konzerten mit Solisten und Orchester in der Tonhalle aufgeführt. Noch heute probt der Männerchor Zürich im Vereinslokal der Tonhalle. Orchesterbegleitete Stücke sind eine Konstante im Repertoire des Chors. Es werden aber regelmässig auch A-cappella-Stücke einstudiert. Das können traditionelle Barbershop-Songs, Volkslieder oder auch Stücke aus der nordischen Chormusikliteratur sein. Highlights im Chorjahr In der nächsten Zeit reiht sich beim Männerchor Zürich ein Höhepunkt an den nächsten. Im Mai 2025 steht eine grosse Opern-Gala mit französischen und italienischen Stücken von Verdi, Rossini, Gounod und anderen an. Im Oktober 2025 folgt ein absolutes Highlight im Chorjahr. Der berühmteste Männerchor Schwedens, der Chor Orphei Drängar kommt in die Schweiz und hat den Männerchor Zürich für ein gemeinsames Konzert angefragt. Diese einmalige Möglichkeit lässt sich der Männerchor Zürich natürlich nicht entgehen. Und last but not least ist der Männerchor Zürich auch schon daran, das Jubiläum «200 Jahre Männerchor Zürich» zu planen, das dann 2026 ansteht. Chormusikredaktor Guido Rüegge unterhält sich in dieser «Fiirabigmusig» mit Roger Widmer, dem Dirigenten des Männerchors Zürich.

This past March 7 would have been the 94th birthday of the great French coloratura soprano Mady Mesplé. This episode begins a new series of episodes devoted to “Queens of the Night,” the surprisingly wide variety of sopranos who at one time or another sang this role. After a sampling of Mesplé singing this role (in French), we also hear back to back comparisons with Janine Micheau (Mesplé's teacher) and Mado Robin (one of Mesplé's most famous predecessors); a Gounod duet with Nicolai Gedda; a stunning avant garde showpiece composed expressly for Mesplé; a series of mélodies by Debussy, Roussel and Ravel; a live late-career performance of Poulenc's final composition, the dramatic monologue La Dame de Monte-Carlo; an effervescent live 1969 performance of Zerbinetta's aria; and a deeply moving recording of La Mort de Socrate by Erik Satie. Further proof, if such were needed, of Mesplé's versatility, virtuosity, and profound musicianship and humanity.

As a follow-up to my Mezzos on the Verge series, which seemed to resonate with so many of you, today I present the first in a new ongoing series, Over-the-Top Sopranos. As I first began exploring this repertoire, my first thoughts were focused on Italian repertoire. But then I gave myself the challenge of focusing on the French style instead, thinking that I would not have as easy a time of it. Was I ever wrong! There is such a profusion French (and non-French) singers going to the brink with life or death performances of French music that thrills one to the core. Naturally I focus on familiar composers of both French grand opera (Meyerbeer, Halévy, Gounod) and opéra-comique (Massenet, Bizet) but, as always with Countermelody, there are repertoire surprises along the way, including operas by Ernest Reyer and Sylvio Lazzari. And the wealth of sopranos heard here boggles the mind: again ranging from favorites such as Ninon Vallin, Rosa Ponselle, Mariella Devia, Germaine Lubin, Elisabeth Rethberg, and Carol Neblett, to such lesser-known lights as Andrée Esposito, Françoise Pollet, Madeleine Sibille, Mattiwilda Dobbs, Charlotte Tirard, and Margarete Teschemacher, alongside many others. This is the kind of episode I absolutely love to produce, one rich in both discoveries and old favorites, performed by old and new favorites. Goûtez-vous-en!

One of the great personal revelations for me in the early years of producing Countermelody was discovering the great Chinese American bass Yi-Kwei Sze (斯義桂). As the first Chinese singer to pursue a career in Western classical music, his historical significance is undisputed. What I hope to demonstrate in this episode is that his importance extends to artistic, vocal, and musical matters as well. When Sze first came to the United States, he studied under the great Ukrainian bass Alexander Kipnis, and over the course of his long career, he bore that mantle proudly. Today's episode once again explores the hidden corners of Sze's recorded legacy, which yields enormous treasures, and includes recordings of operatic (and quasi-operatic) excerpts by Verdi, Gounod, Mozart, Berlioz, and Mussorgsky as well as an excerpt of a legendary live performance of Shostakovich's “Babi Yar” Symphony, one of the first in the West. Also heard are live and studio recordings of Russian songs by Mussorgsky, Dargomizhsky, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Balakirev; and song recordings by Poulenc, Schumann, Schubert, Tcherepnin, Xuean Liu, Dvořák, and Brahms.

Of all the love stories ever told, none quite compare to the enduring power of Romeo and Juliet. Over four centuries ago, English playwright William Shakespeare crafted a timeless story harnessing both the powers of profound love and deep hatred, and his tale of “star-crossed lovers” has become an inspiration to countless artists.  Two and a half centuries later, French composer Charles Gounod and his librettists took Shakespeare's play as a starting point, and crafted it into an exquisitely beautiful and heart-rending opera.  Join us for an in-depth discussion of how this story plays out as a French grand opéra.

The history of classical music is littered with the stories of great composers who tragically died young. The composer I've been talking about for the last two episodes, Franz Schubert, died at 31. Mozart died at 36, Mendelssohn at 38, Bizet at 37, Gershwin at 38, Gideon Klein at 25, Purcell at 36. The composer I will tell you about today is part of this sad list. Lili Boulanger, one of the most talented and promising composers of her era, died at the age of just 24, and her entire life since the age of 2 was marked by illness and poor health. In her short life she wrote around 24 works, many of which show extraordinary prowess for such a young composer. Boulanger was the first woman to win the famous Prix de Rome, a French composition prize won by past luminairies such as Berlioz, Gounod, Debussy, Faure, Massenet, and many other greats of French composition. It was also won by Boulanger's father, a story we'll get to as we go through Boulanger's life. Her music was marked by the influences of impressionism, but also by the influence of her perhaps more well known sister, Nadia, who became a legendary composition teacher throughout the 20th century. Today I'll take you through some of the key moments in Boulanger's life, and we'll also take a look at 3 of her pieces: Les Sirenes, Faust Et Helene, the piece that won Boulanger the Prix de Rome, written when she was just 18, and we'll finish with an orchestral piece that might be the most frequent way you might encounter Boulanger's music in the concert hall these days entiled D'un Matin de Printemps. Boulanger, despite her short life, is one of hte most fascinating and underrated musical figures in classical music history, so if you aren't already familiar with her music, I can't wait to introduce you to her this week. Join us!
