L'altra gran Marilyn de la cultura nord-americana: la mezzosoprano Marilyn Horne va compaginar el repertori barroc i del bel canto rossini
durée : 01:33:49 - Relax ! du mardi 06 février 2024 - par : Lionel Esparza - Cet après-midi dans Relax !, portrait de la mezzo-soprano américaine Marilyn Horne qui fête ses 90 ans cette année. Voici un panorama de la carrière exceptionnelle d'une chanteuse qui porta haut l'art du bel canto rossinien tout en explorant un répertoire éclectique.
durée : 01:33:33 - Relax ! du vendredi 19 janvier 2024 - par : Lionel Esparza - La mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, née le 16 janvier 1934 fête ses 90 ans. Le violoniste Augustin Dumay, né le 17 janvier 1949 fête ses 75 ans. Happy Birthday !
Elina Garanca—2004 | Vivica Genaux—1997 | Marilyn Horne—1983 | Vesselina Kasarova—1998 | Jennifer Larmore—2000 | Isabel Leonard—2019 | José Maria LoMonaco—2015 | Christa Ludwig—1959
This is an episode I have been planning for years now! This past August 15, the great French baritone Robert Massard turned 98 years old. As many of my listeners know, I have a thing for baritones in general, and I have devoted episodes to artists of the baritone persuasion from world-renowned to virtually unknown to somewhere in-between. Just think of it: Gérard Souzay, Jorma Hynninen, Eugene Holmes, Andrzej Hiolski, Gabriel Bacquier, Will Parker, Gilbert Price: these and many more have already been featured with more (Hugo Hasslo, Eric Sædén) on the horizon for next season. But I would be hard-pressed to think of a baritone who possessed a more beautiful natural voice, a more refined technique, or a more elegant artistry than did Robert Massard, who in his thirty-odd years of career chalked up approximately 2,500 performances, including 1,003 at the Paris Opéra alone (the same number, he himself points out, as Don Giovanni's conquests)! Massard also sang an incredibly varied (though primarily operatic) repertoire, and this episode presents highlights from both the standard to the more obscure repertoire, from Gluck, Gounod, Verdi, and Massenet; to Reyer, Milhaud, Lalo, and Diaz (who?). These recordings are supplemented by a number of excerpts from French operetta (Planquette, Varney, Messager, and Beydts) which provide unalloyed melodic delight, the Massard voice heard at its absolute peak. And the colleagues who appear opposite Massard are like a Who's Who of great opera singers (French and otherwise) of the era: Régine Crespin, Mady Mesplé, Denise Duval, Shirley Verrett (subject of next week's episode!), Andréa Guiot, Jean Giraudeau, André Turp, Marilyn Horne, Renée Doria, Jane Rhodes, Andrée Esposito, Rita Gorr, and the falcon Suzanne Sarroca, who died last month at the age of 96. And if you listen very closely, you will also catch fleeting glimpses of favorites Patricia Neway and George Shirley. I know I say this too often, but if you only listen to one episode of Countermelody, make it this one! 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 journalist 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.

Since then, she has sung the roles of Tosca, AIDA, Abigaille, Sieglinde, Violetta, and several other leading ladies. The New York Times describes her voice in the role of Violetta as “a warm agile soprano with a secure technique,” Opera News stated of her “Pace, pace, mio Dio” that “[she sang] with a cascade of refined yet plush Italianate sound; …an expertly introspective performance.” Ms. Thompson has performed with Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, Union Avenue Opera, New York City Opera, New York Grand Opera, Opera Carolina, and Mississippi Opera, to name a few.

Atendiendo a la petición de un amable oyente analizamos hoy la célebre aria de Rossini. Partimos de la interpretación de Veselina Kasarova, que desbrozamos poco a poco con inclusión del preludio orquestal y recitativo previo. Luego escuchamos la versión de Frederica von Stade y finalmente la de Marilyn Horne, aunque a esta únicamente la seguimos en la conocida cabaletta. Y ya que estamos con Horne no nos resistimos a escucharla en otra página rossiniana: las imponentes variaciones Tanti affetti in tal momento, final de La donna del lago del propio compositor de Pésaro.

How often it happens that, even when an artist produces an august and varied body of work, that they are remembered only for a tiny fragment of their output? Such is the case with Brock Peters (1927 – 2005). Universally recognized and justly celebrated for his portrayal of Tom Robinson in the 1962 film version of To Kill a Mockingbird, Peters, born George Fisher, was also a superb singer who made his mark in a number of film musicals, as well as appearances in Broadway musicals and a series of folk albums recorded in the late 1950s and early 1960s. While the focus in this episode is on his musical accomplishments as a solo artist, I also discuss his early appearances in ensembles headed by Harry Belafonte, Leonard de Paur, and others; his jazz collaborations with Miles Davis, Randy Weston, and Duke Ellington; his other film roles; his exceptional work in voiceover and narration; and his late career singing appearances. That Brock Peters was a great actor is a given; that he was a great singer as well may be a delicious surprise to many. Guest vocal appearances by Adele Addison, Martha Flowers, Margaret Tynes, Marilyn Horne, and The Four Lads.

Tyzik studied both classical and jazz at the prestigious Eastman School of Music where he earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees.

Tyzik also looks back on some of his earliest musical experiences and the impact they had on his career. You'll also learn about the years Jeff spent touring, recording, and producing with GRAMMY Award-winning jazz trumpeter and flugelhornist, Chuck Mangione.

In this series of podcasts, Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean gives listeners a taste of nine different types of traditional opera. Bel Canto Melodrama refers to for serious Italian opera from the first part of the nineteenth century—when opera singing was about dazzling trapeze acts, and opera plots tended toward the wild, far-fetched, and grotesque. Inspired by their newfound obsession with Shakespeare, Europe’s Romantic generation created some of opera’s most enduringly popular works, including Verdi’s Rigoletto and Bellini’s Norma. Musical examples on the podcast drawn from Seattle Opera recordings of Rigoletto: from 1995, conducted by Phil Kelsey and starring Harolyn Blackwell; and from 2019, conducted by Carlo Montanaro and starring Giuseppe Altomare and Yongzhao Yu: and Seattle Opera Normas, both conducted by Edoardo Mueller, from 2003 starring Sally Wolf; and from 1994 starring Jane Eaglen. Also, Verdi’s Il trovatore conducted by Tullio Serafin (Deutsche Gramophon, 1962); and Rossini’s L’assedio di Corinto, Marilyn Horne conducted by Henry Lewis (Decca, 1973). Stay tuned for another podcast introducing another kind of opera next week!

With The Cher Show on Broadway, we look at some of the great divas of the musical theater, opera, and pop worlds: Streisand, LuPone, Audra, Judy, Diana Ross, Marilyn Horne, Renee Fleming and Cher herself--all crowding the spotlight.
El último programa de la serie "Cuéntame un musical" lo dedicamos al musical "El rey y yo", aprovechando su paso por Londres este verano de 2018 de la producción estrenada el 2015 en el Lincoln Center de New York, dirigido por Barlet Sher que se alzó con nueve nominaciones a los premios Tony, de los que ganó cuatro incluidos el de mejor revival, mejor vestuario y mejor actriz protagonista en un musical para Kelly O'Hara que interpretó a Anna Leonowens y dándole la réplica tuvo como rey nada menos que a Ken Watanabe. Para ilustrar este podcast nos serviremos de varias grabaciones tratando de dar cabida a la versión más completa incluyendo temas cortados antes de llegar a Broadway, si bien fundamentalmente tendremos la versión grabada en estudio por Julie Andrews, Ben Kingsley, Lea Salonga, Peabo Bryson, Roger Moore, Martin Sheen y Marilyn Horne, aunque también estarán presentes Yul Brynner, Elaine Paige o Kelli O'Hara en algunos temas. Con este podcast cerramos el año 2018 con Rodgers y Hammerstein, con los mismos compositores con que lo abrimos y espero seguir contando con vuestro apoyo.

Norman Lebrecht talks to the American mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, tracing her career from precocious Shirley Temple sound-alike, to pirate recordings of pop songs in the 1950s, to dubbing the title role in the movie of the Oscar Hammerstein musical Carmen Jones, and finally the breakthrough to the major mezzo Bel Canto roles of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti for which she was justly famed. She also talks about her experience of early masterclasses with the veteran singer Lotte Lehmann and how the sometimes unhappy experience of that has influenced her approach to helping young singers and teaching masterclasses in her retirement. She discusses her relationship with other musicians such as Stravinsky, Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge. In her frank and direct manner she also reveals to Norman Lebrecht the difficulties she had with her family when she married the black conductor Henry Lewis.
