The British bass-baritone Norman Bailey (23 March 1933 – 15 September 2021) was one of the premier Wagner singers of his generation, appearing in his signature roles (Hans Sachs, the Dutchman, and Wotan, among others) at the most prestigious festival and with the most distinguished opera companies around the world. He was also celebrated for his Verdi and Strauss portrayals and was an skillful, intuitive, and communicative recitalist. In this refurbished bonus episode, he is heard in operatic scenes by all three of those composers, and additionally as a big-voiced miniaturist in songs by Peter Warlock, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Hugo Wolf. “Guest stars” in the operatic excerpts (from Walküre, Macbeth, Holländer, Salome, Falstaff, Die Liebe der Danae, and The Mastersingers of Nuremberg) include Galina Vishnevskaya, Margaret Curphey, Carol Neblett, Arlene Saunders, and Montserrat Caballé, conducted by Otto Klemperer, Julius Rudel, Alexander Gibson, Anton Guadagno, Reginald Goodall, and Charles Mackerras. 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.

Can music teach us how to live? In this interview Evan Rosa invites Daniel Chua—a musicologist, composer at heart, and Professor of Music at the University of Hong Kong—to discuss his latest book, Music & Joy: Lessons on the Good Life.Together they discuss the vastly different ancient and modern approaches to music; the problem with seeing music for consumption and entertainment; the ways different cultures conceive of music and wisdom: from Jewish to Greek to Christian; seeing the disciplined spontaneity of jazz improvisation fitting with both a Confucian perspective on virtue, and Christian newness of incarnation; and finally St. Augustine, the worshipful jubilance of singing in the midst of one's work to find rhythm and joy that is beyond suffering; and a final benediction and blessing for every music lover.Throughout the interview, we'll offer a few segments of the music Daniel discusses, including Beethoven's Opus 132 and the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th symphony, and John Cage's controversial 4'33”—which Daniel recommends we listen to every single day, and which we're going to play during this episode toward the end.Show NotesMusic and Joy: Lessons on the Good Life by Daniel Chua (https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300264210/music-and-joy/)Can music teach us how to live?The emotional relationship we have with musicEveryone identifies with musicHow did you come to love music and write on it?MusicologistThe Sound of Music soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeSQLYs2U8X0nTi15MHjMAWim3PxIyEqI)Listening to music at a young ageLove of Beethoven as a childWhat about Beethoven in particular spoke to you?

Synopsis Today's date marks two events in American musical history – one sad, one happy. It was on today's date in 1937 that George Gershwin died at 10:35 in the morning in a Hollywood hospital after an operation for a brain tumor. He was only 38 years old. Gershwin was the idol of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley, and also admired by the “serious” composers of his day, such as Maurice Ravel and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Even Arnold Schoenberg, the fearsome leader of the 12-tone school – and Gershwin's regular tennis partner in Los Angeles – said, in tribute, “there is no doubt that he was a great composer.” A Gershwin memorial concert was held in the Hollywood Bowl later that year, featuring notables from both classical and popular music, including Otto Klemperer, Fred Astaire, and Lily Pons. The happier anniversary we note is the founding of the Hollywood Bowl itself, on today's date in 1922. This open-air auditorium was constructed in a natural canyon in the Los Angeles area, and hosted its first public concert with the fearsomely-bearded German conductor Alfred Hertz on the podium. An audience of 5,000 cheered music by Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and Rossini. Works by those composers still show up on Hollywood Bowl programs today, often alongside selections from now-classic Hollywood film scores, often conducted by their composers – bearded or otherwise.

Synopsis “Where to go for summer vacation?” That's always been the question for any city-dweller fortunate enough to be able to escape to somewhere cool and green, with perhaps an ocean beach or at least a lake nearby. In the summers of 1877 and 1878, Johannes Brahms abandoned urban Vienna for the rural Austrian district known as Carinthia and specifically the small town of Pörtschach on Wörthersee. Even today, this is prime vacation territory, with rolling green hills, dark pine trees, bright blue lakes, and the snow-capped Alps along the horizon. And the wildflowers have to be seen to be believed. We can't show you all that, but perhaps you can hear a sense of that landscape in the Second Symphony and Violin Concerto of Brahms —two works he composed during his summer holidays there. In Carinthia, said Brahms, the melodies are so abundant that one had to be careful not to step on them. There just might be something in that, at least with respect to great Violin Concertos. In July of 1935, 57 years after Brahms wrote his Concerto in Pörtschach, the Viennese composer Alban Berg would finish his Violin Concerto in the same town, on the opposite shore of the Wörthersee from where Brahms stayed during his summer vacations. Berg's Concerto even includes a quote from a risqué Carinthian folksong. Music Played in Today's Program Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) – Symphony No. 2 (Concertgebouw Orchestra; Bernard Haitink, cond.)

Our series saluting great Canadian singers continues with a tribute to one of the greatest singers I have ever seen in performance, the Saskatchewan-born tenor Jon Vickers. Not only was he a profoundly imaginative and creative singing actor, he was also one of the most problematic personalities to appear on the operatic stage in the second half of the twentieth century. I discuss many of the controversies surrounding Vickers the man, in particular his virulent homophobia and sexism, while still giving full attention to his unmatched artistry. I feature both live and studio recordings over the course of his entire career, encompassing both opera and art song, focusing on what are probably his four greatest operatic roles: Florestan, Otello, Peter Grimes, and Tristan. Vocal guest stars include Maria Callas, Eileen Farrell, Joan Carlyle, Leonie Rysanek, and Renata Scotto; conductors include Colin Davis, Otto Klemperer, Tullio Serafin, Rudolf Kempe, Nicola Rescigno, William Steinberg, and Herbert von Karajan. 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.

Synopsis In the 1980s, the Finnish Broadcasting Company had come up with the idea of commissioning a whole evening’s worth of orchestral pieces by native composer Einojuhanni Rautavaara, which, when taken together, would form a conventional concert program of overture, concerto and symphony. These three works have come to be called the “Angel Trilogy,” since each of them has a title with the word “Angel” in it. Rautavaara’s Fifth Symphony, with the working title “Monologue with Angels,” premiered on today’s date in 1986, was originally to be the symphonic conclusion of this triple commission. But Rautavaara dropped the title, and his Symphony No. 7, subtitled “Angel of Light,” ended up being the third part of the “Angel Trilogy,” alongside an overture entitled “Angels and Visitations” and a double-bass concerto entitled “Angel of Dusk.” If you asked the mystical Rautavaara why he changed his mind, he would probably have said it really wasn’t HIS idea at all. Rautavaara believed that his compositions already existed in ‘another reality,’ as he said, and his job was just to bring it into our world in one piece. "I firmly believe that compositions have a will of their own,” he said, “even though some people smile at the concept.” Music Played in Today's Program Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928 - 2016) Symphony No. 5 Leipzig Radio Symphony; Max Pommer, cond.

Examinamos el personaje de Florestan, en prisión y a merced de su enemigo político don Pizarro. Una parte de tenor ante la que tiemblan los cantantes, pero que encierra enormes bellezas. Las describimos y analizamos y para ello contamos con el concurso de algunos de los mejores tenores del pasado cercano y de nuestros días. Pero antes damos paso a Birgit Nilsson para que nos cante, con una valentía y un brillo únicos, el Allegro final de su gran aria del primer acto. Luego presentamos a su marido y escuchamos seis interpretaciones por voces muy distintas del recitativo que abre el segundo acto, Gott, welch Dunkel hier!: son sucesivamente las de Hans Hopf, Jon Vickers, Wolfgang Windgassen, Plácido Domingo, Julius Patzak y Anton Dermota. Después, Torsten Ralf y el citado Dermota cantan el aria y Vickers y Sena Jurinac el dúo O namenlose Freude dirigidos por Otto Klemperer. Cerramos con el final de la ópera en esta misma versión.

durée : 00:57:44 - Otto Klemperer dirige Beethoven - par : Aurélie Moreau - "La majorité des gens prend Beethoven pour un personnage mélancolique, tragique, ténébreux. C'est une grossière erreur", affirme Otto Klemperer, chef d'orchestre qui fut souvent qualifié de "spécialiste" de Beethoven et qui a enregistré l'intégrale des Symphonie du Maître de Bonn pour EMI, 1961. - réalisé par : Louise Loubrieu, Céline Parfenoff

Our world seems to be falling apart, both in the personal and in the global sense. I sustained an enormous personal loss this week when my dear friend Fred Berndt, the great German stage director, died suddenly on Friday. But we are all feeling an enormous sense of despair, of hopelessness, even of rage. Even before Fred’s death, I recognized that this episode needed to offer a message of hope to those who are finding it difficult to negotiate the world right now. The voice that has spoken to me most in my sadness is the Welsh soprano Margaret Price (1941-2011), whose distinctively cool yet engaged timbre, scrupulous musicianship, and communicative gifts prove unfailingly capable of conveying comfort and consolation to those who are distressed or grieving. I offer a survey of the career of this exemplary singer, a personal favorite of mine, in a wide range of repertoire including opera, oratorio, and art song. Composers include her specialties Mozart and Verdi, as well as Brahms, Strauss, Schumann, Schubert, Weber, Elgar, and the undervalued British composer Phyllis Tate. Collaborators include Otto Klemperer, Claudio Abbado, John Pritchard, Alain Lombard, Adrian Boult, and her mentor, the pianist and conductor James Lockhart, among many others. I hope that Margaret Price and her voice of consolation bring you much solace. 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.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

2015 gelangte der künstlerische Nachlass der Komponistin Maria Herz (1878-1950) in die Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Niemand kannte ihren Namen. Eine der vielen verbannten Stimmen nationalsozialistischer Rassepolitik. Dann das Wunder: Auf einmal ist neues Interesse da – an der Person, an den Werken. Wie sich als Frau behaupten in einer Männerdomäne? Maria Herz, 1878 hineingeboren in eine jüdische Kölner Textildynastie, konnte ein Lied davon singen. 1926 setzt sie vor ihren Künstlernamen den Vornamen ihres verstorbenen Ehemannes. Der Kunstgriff gelingt. Die Werke von Albert Maria Herz werden gespielt. Namhafte Dirigenten – Hermann Abendroth, Otto Klemperer – unterstützen sie. Dann der Karrierebruch. Als jüdische Künstlerin wird Maria Herz 1935 ins englische Exil getrieben, verstummt als Komponistin, stirbt 1950 in New York: die HERZ-Musik wird vergessen – und erst jetzt wiederentdeckt.

Guided by Voices [00:58] "Echos Myron" Bee Thousand Scat Records SCAT 35 1994 One of the many classics from this canonical lo-fi album on beautiful translucent blue vinyl.
