Swiss tenor Eric Tappy (19 May 1931 – 11 June 2024) excelled in so many different musical styles, eras, and genres, that when one considers his artistic achievement systematically, as a whole, one is positively stunned at all that he achieved, and that within a relatively short international career that extended barely 20 years. In addition, at the beginning of his career, his voice was that of a light lyric tenor, but gradually he came to sing heavier roles such as Idomeneo and Tito. The episode considers his biography and the trajectory of that career, touching upon his opera and concert work which ranged from early Baroque through contemporary. For the first ten years of his adult life, he worked as a teacher, gradually gaining enough exposure that he was able to fully devote himself to his singing career after he won several international singing competitions. Tappy is heard in the episode in concert work of Bach, Berlioz, Haydn, and contemporary Dutch composer Rudolf Escher; art songs by both Franz Schubert and Lili Boulanger; and operas by Monteverdi, Gounod, Mozart, and Debussy (his Pelléas was as legendary as his Monteverdi and Mozart impersonations). In addition, Tappy is heard in live and radio recordings of work by his fellow Swiss compatriots Arthur Honegger, Frank Martin, Constantin Régamey, and Hermann Suter. Guest singers include Countermelody favorites Ileana Cotrubaș, Rachel Yakar, Hugues Cuénod, Edda Moser, and Gino Quilico; musical collaborators include Ernest Ansermet, Michel Corboz, Nino Sanzogno, John Pritchard, Armin Jordan, Hans Münch (brother of Charles), Colin Davis, Hans Vonk, and Jean Françaix, among others. Prepare to be surprised and delighted by this great singer, who ended his active singing career at the age of only 50 but who continued as a formative and beloved teacher well into his old age. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A clown's farewell at the FringeThe Minnesota Fringe Festival continues through Sunday, Aug. 10, with nearly 100 shows presented in 90-minute intervals at theaters around the Twin Cities.Phillip Schramm, an improviser and theater maker in Minneapolis, particularly recommends seeing “Clown Funeral” at Theatre in the Round in Minneapolis, Saturday at 1 p.m. The show is billed as appropriate for ages 12–15 and up.“The funeral is about Bongo, a clown that has passed away, and there are four other clowns that are there to kind of honor his memory, and it goes the way you would think,” Schramm says. “It's a clown show. So there are bits of physical comedy, of just them assembling the coffin. There's word play. There's one clown that really only speaks through art. Everything you would want in a clowning show is in ‘Clown Funeral.'”One delightful touch, Schramm says, is red clown noses at the entry that audience members can take and wear. Because the theater is in the round, you can see the audience members wearing red clown noses throughout the show.Painting the urgency of climate changeSuzie Marty, gallery curator of Everett & Charlie in Minneapolis, recommends “2°C,” a joint exhibit by painters Drevis Hager of Minneapolis and Mark Granlund of Red Wing that focuses on climate change. The exhibit runs through Saturday, Aug. 9 at the Hamilton Gallery in Minneapolis.Marty called the paintings moving and beautiful, even as they drive home the seriousness of climate change. She pointed toward Granlund's paintings with unusual materials, including tar, and his surprising pairings, such as a series of portraits of CEOs of oil companies overlaid on landscape paintings.Hager paints representational landscapes as well as abstracts that invoke wildfires and melting ice caps, as in the darkly humored title “Oh Oh, There Goes Greenland.”Mozart under the summer skyChoral singer Beth Gusenius of Minneapolis caught a preview performance of Mixed Precipitation's summer outdoor opera, this year an adaptation of Mozart's “1781 Idomeneo, re di Creta (King of Crete).”This abridged version, first staged by the company in 2012, is called “The Return of King Idomeneo.” It blends Mozart's arias with other musical styles, including doo-wop. Next week, performances will be in Ely (Wed., Aug. 13), Hovland (Aug. 15), Grand Marais (Aug. 16), and Finland (Aug. 17). The run continues through Sept. 14 at outdoor locations across the state. It is free and open to all ages, with a suggested donation.“It's a really fun performance. I think it's one of those that's going to convert people who wouldn't necessarily otherwise go to the opera. They do such an amazing job bringing the story to life,” Gusenius says.

When you're the CEO, you're not just the visionary—you're also someone's boss. And yes, that means sometimes the complaints are about you. It's uncomfortable. It's personal.

Today is the day that the United States formerly celebrated its independence. But the events of recent months have not made me feel much like celebrating. As I racked my brain to think of an “American” (read: US-American) of whom we could be truly proud, my mind flew to Carol Neblett, one of the great (if relatively unsung) voices of the 1970s and beyond. Carol died prematurely and unexpectedly in November 2017, and from the earliest days of the podcast, it has been my intention to bring increased attention to her incandescent voice and artistry. For a while, her son Stefan Schermerhorn and I have been planning to do such a tribute, but as with so many such plans, life got in the way. With the looming national holiday, however, I felt the urgent need to do a Carol Neblett episode. So I contacted Stefan earlier this week to ask him if he had any reminiscences to share with us as I was preparing this urgently-needed episode. He returned with an absolutely charming Fourth of July anecdote which begins the tribute. There follows a plethora of live recordings of near-definitive performances of an enormous range of roles that were core to Carol's repertoire: Violetta, Ariadne, Thaïs, Marietta, Manon, Musetta, Louise, Tosca, Magda in La Rondine, Margherita in Mefistofele, Leonora in Il Trovatore, and Elettra in Idomeneo. Also well-represented is no doubt her most celebrated portrayal: Minnie in La Fanciulla del West. Being a tall and statuesque California-born blonde made Carol a physically ideal Minnie, but even moreso, it was THAT VOICE which allowed her to negotiate all of the part's considerable vocal difficulties and made her legendary in the part. This is the first of a planned series of Neblett episodes that I hope will bring you as much delight in listening as it did me in preparing it. And in this undeniably grim period of our nation's history, we desperately need Carol Neblett as a shining example of the brilliance of which the United States is still capable. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be.

Not every ghost disappears. Some just fade — slowly, quietly, until their presence is more of a burden than a benefit.

Interpreten: Anna Prohaska, Ensemble Resonanz, Herbert Schuch, Riccardo MinasiLabel: harmonia mundiEAN: 3149020951972Kaum zu glauben, aber mit der Haffner-Akademie hat die Sopranistin Anna Prohaska ihr erstes reines Mozart Album aufgenommen. Gemeinsam mit dem Ensemble Resonanz unter der Leitung von Riccardi Minasi ist eine abwechslungsreiche und spannungsgeladene CD gelungen, die nicht nur Michael Gmasz von Beginn an in den Bann gezogen hat.Anna Prohaska lebt in Berlin und gehört zu den Stars der dortigen Staatsoper Unter den Linden und der Deutschen Oper Berlin, das Ensemble Resonanz residiert wiederum in Hamburg und ist seit der Eröffnung im Jänner 2017 Residenzensemble in der dortigen Elbphilharmonie. Für Mozart haben sie unter der Leitung von Riccardo Minasi zusammengefunden. Mozarts Haffner Symphonie bildet das musikalische Zentrum der CD und verleiht ihr auch den Namen. Darum gruppieren sich Arien und Szenen aus diversen Mozart Opern, für die Anna Prohaska wie geschaffen scheint.Anna Prohaska verleiht jeder der ausgewählten Arien mit den vorangestellten Rezitativen Chrakater und Tiefe. Mal ein bisschen schroffer und unheimlich eindringlich, wie bei Elletras Verzweiflungsarie aus Idomeneo. Das ist Dramatik pur, die einem den kalten Schauer über den Rücken jagt. Ganz anders im Ausdruck die verliebte Susanna in ihrer Rosenarie „Giunse alfin – deh vieni non tardar“ aus Le nozze die Figaro. Fein gezeichnet, lyrisch und in freudiger Erwartung auf alles, was noch kommen mag. Auf dem Album kommen noch Arien aus der Entführung aus dem Serail, Cosí fan tutte und La clemenza di tito. Das Ensemble Resonanz ist dabei immer präsent und setzt unter Riccardo Minasi auch seine Akzente. Dazu eine ausgesprochen knackige Haffner Symphonie, die einmal mehr zeigt, wie zeitlos und wirklich aufregend Mozart sein kann, wenn er nur lebendig gespielt wird. Und als grande Finale die Konzertarie Ch'io mi scordi di te, bei der auch der Pianist Herbert Schuch das Seine zu dieser großartigen CD beitragen darf. (mg)

Trying desperately to return home alive from the Trojan War, King Idomeneo makes a terrible promise to the sea god from the deck of his storm-ravaged ship.  The consequence of his promise is worse than he could imagine, and only after many twists does he achingly find his way to peace.  The emotional depth of the characters of Idomeneo gives Mozart ample opportunity to demonstrate his compositional powers in this, his first fully mature and unquestionably successful opera.
