This week, the sublime Julia Varady celebrated her 83rd birthday, and here at Countermelody that is an occasion well worth commemorating and celebrating. I'm newly home in Berlin, but with a huge pile of “welcome home” stuff that I have to attend to, so this episode consists of bonus content that I published a year ago while I was (once again) in transit between my extended visit to the US and my return home to Berlin. It was a doozy of a trip (and not in a good way!) but this is a doozy of an episode in the best way possible. That Julia Varady could sing! And this episode presents numerous extended operatic excerpts, from Otello, Lear, Feuersnot, Pique-Dame, and Forza del destino, plus songs by Bartók, Zemlinsky, and Kodály, the latter of which in particular, an arrangement of a Hungarian folk song which offers a feminist spin on the Bluebeard story, will knock you on your ear!
Jay begins this episode with Paul Hindemith, who in 1921 combined his interest in ragtime with his love of Bach. There is also a minuet by Ravel, glancing back at Haydn. There is a song by Zemlinsky, setting Langston Hughes. There are wonders and curiosities in this episode—which, by the way, has a sponsor: Michael Lohafer, who, as Jay says, is “a particular authority on Mozart.” Mr. Lohafer says, “My sponsorship is on behalf of all attentive listeners to Music for a While who enjoy the well-considered selections that always delight the ear.” Bach, Fugue in C minor from “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” Book 1 Hindemith, “Ragtime (Well-Tempered)” Ravel, “Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn” Schumann, “Faschingsschwank aus Wien” Zemlinsky, “Afrikanischer Tanz” from “Symphonische Gesänge” Liszt, “Canzonetta del Salvator Rosa” from “Années de pèlerinage, deuxième année: Italie” Vasks, Dolcissimo from “The Book” Prokofiev, Sonata No. 7, Precipitato Martinů, Fantasia for String Quartet, Oboe, Theremin, and Piano Gounod, “Ah! lève-toi, soleil!” from “Roméo et Juliette” Tchaikovsky-Pletnev, Pas de deux from “The Nutcracker”

Synopsis The thick historical novels of the 19th century French writer Alexandre Dumas, Sr. are packed with some fact and a lot of fiction. Chapter 22 of "The Three Musketeers," for example, set during the 17th century reign of King Louis XIII, begins as follows: "Nothing was talked of in Paris but the ball which the aldermen were to give to the king and queen in which their Majesties were to dance the famous 'La Merlaison' — the favorite ballet of the king. Eight days had been spent preparing for the important evening. The city carpenters erected risers for the guests; the hall would be lit by two hundred huge candles of white wax, a luxury unheard of; and twenty violins were ordered, the price for them double the usual rate, since they would be playing all night." In this case, Dumas was referencing a real event. On today's date in 1635, at Chantilly castle, a gala ballet premiered. It depicted in stylized dance the Louis's favorite activity: hunting the blackbird ("la merlaison" in French). The choreography, the costumes, and music were all created by the King himself—who also danced several of the lead roles. It got a rave review in the press of the day. If there were any critics, we suspect Cardinal Richelieu, the dreaded power behind the throne in Dumas's novel—and in real life—had them hauled off and "dealt with." Ah yes, it's good to be King.

Johanna Müller-Hermann once held a significant place as a composer and teacher in Vienna, yet has been largely forgotten over the decades since her death in 1941. Radio 3 has been working to unearth her music and story through its Forgotten Women Composers project, in collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Dr Carola Darwin. This week, Dr Darwin and Professor Robert Evans join Donald Macleod to explore this fascinating composer and her times. Their series includes many specially recorded works by Müller-Hermann that have sat neglected in dusty archives for decades. Müller-Hermann was greatly celebrated in her own lifetime and moved in eminent musical circles. She studied with Zemlinsky, befriended Alma Mahler, and also corresponded with Arnold Schoenberg. She went on to teach at Austria's New Vienna Conservatory where students travelled from as far away as America and the UK to study with her. She became a pivotal figure in Vienna's cultural scene and her music was regularly performed and published during her lifetime.

Synopsis On today's date in 1948, Leonard Bernstein, age 29, conducted the Boston Symphony in the premiere of a new orchestral work by Harold Shapero, age 27. This was Shapero's “Symphony for Classical Orchestra,” a work modeled on Beethoven but sounding very much like one of the Neo-Classical scores of Igor Stravinsky. This was exactly what Shapero intended, but some found the music perplexing. Aaron Copland, for one, wrote: “Harold Shapero, it is safe to say, is at the same time the most gifted and baffling composer of his generation.” That comment by Copland, one should remember, came at a time when Shapero's generation included the likes of Barber, Bernstein, Menotti and Rorem. But Copland continued, “Stylistically, Shapero seems to feel a compulsion to fashion his music after some great model. He seems to be suffering from a hero-worship complex – or perhaps it is a freakish attack of false modesty.” “Copland was so original,” Shapero responded, “that he just couldn't understand anyone who wasn't.” Even so, Shapero's superbly crafted orchestral imitations suffered many decades of neglect. In the 1980s, however, conductor and composer Andre Previn fell in love with Shapero's Symphony, performing and recording it with the LA Philharmonic, and declared its Adagietto movement the most beautiful slow movement of any American symphony.

The center of Western Classical Music, ever since the time of Bach, has been modern-day Germany and Austria. You can trace a line from Bach, to Haydn to Mozart to Beethoven to Schubert to Schumann, Brahms, and Wagner, and finally to Mahler. But why does that line stop in 1911, the year of Mahler's death? Part of the answer is the increasing influence of composers from outside the Austro-German canon, something that has enriched Western Classical music to this day. There was also World War I getting in the way. But after the war, one could have expected that this line would continue again. The 1920's in Germany and the rest of Europe were a time of radical experimentation, a flowering of ideas, a sort of wild ecstasy of innovation across all the arts. So why don't we hear of these Austro-German experimenters and innovators anymore? Because of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and their Entartete, or Degenerate music. Hitler's worst crime was by no means his suppression of dozens of German, Austrian, and Eastern European composers, but it is a fact all the same that from the end of World War I until 1933, classical music in Germany and Eastern Europe(especially Czechoslovakia), was flourishing, with composers such as Zemlinsky, Krenek, Korngold, Schreker, Schulhoff, Haas, Krasa, and Ullmann taking up the mantle of the giants of the past and hoisting it upon themselves to carry it forward. The Nazis silenced, exiled, or killed off many of these musicians during the twelve years of 1933-1945, and those voices are forever lost, but the music they wrote before, during the War and the Holocaust, and after it, some of it masterpieces quite on the level of their predecessors, has been preserved. So why then are these composers not better known? I've chosen 12 composers, all of whom were writing music at the highest level. Some of them may be familiar to you, but many probably won't be. And through all of their trials and tribulations, one of the things I want to emphasize throughout these stories, even the bleakest ones, is that so many of them found the will to be able to compose this heart-rending, beautiful, and often optimistic music all as they witnessed unimaginable horrors. It may seem empty when the end for many of these artists was so horrific, but these compositions and the men and women who were behind them are a true testament to the resilience of the human spirit. These artists created a life for their friends, neighbors, and fellow inmates in concentration camps. They wrote music they knew would almost certainly not be heard in their lifetimes, from an urge that could not be destroyed, even by gas chambers. Join us to learn about them this week.

durée : 00:58:26 - Une heure, un compositeur : Alexander von Zemlinsky - par : Aurélie Moreau - Compositeur, chef d'orchestre et aussi pédagogue de génie, Zemlinsky né en 1871 à Vienne et mort en 1942 à New-York souhaitait conquérir sa ville natale grâce à ses opéras. Après deux décennies de gloire, son œuvre a été injustement oubliée.
Composer, prominent conductor and influential composition teacher, Zemlinsky was at the centre of turn-of the century Viennese musical life. Among his distinguished pupils were Arnold Schoenberg (who also happened to be his brother-in-law), Berg, Webern and Korngold. He also taught and was romantically involved with Alma Schindler until she decided to marry a certain Gustav Mahler. And it's Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde which provided the model for Zemlinsky's best-known work, his1923 Lyric Symphony. Mahler had chosen Chinese poetry for his song-symphony and Zemlinsky, too, looked east, setting poems by the then fashionable 1913 Nobel Prize-winning Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore. The seven texts, an exploration of love, are sung alternately by baritone and soprano, accompanied in lush late-Romantic style by a large orchestra.

Die tschechisch-deutsche Initiative Musica non grata bemüht sich, eben diese wieder auf die Spielpläne zu bringen. Musica non grata, in der Vergangenheit unter anderem von den Nationalsozialisten unerwünschte Musik. Gestern hatte in diesem Zyklus am ehemals Neuen Deutschen Theater in Prag Franz Schrekers Oper „Der ferne Klang“ Premiere. Musikchefin Ursula Magnes hat sich mit dem Zug nach Prag aufgemacht und berichtet über den gestrigen Abend. Die Oper „Der ferne Klang“ von Franz Schreker ist eine Ikone der Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein Meilenstein am Weg in die Moderne. Die Uraufführung 1912 in Frankfurt/Main brachte Franz Schreker den internationalen Durchbruch. Seine erfolgreiche Berliner Karriere als Lehrer zahlreicher, heute prominenter Schüler, ist von den Nationalsozialisten unterbunden worden. Im schleichend totalitären System war Schreker unerwünscht. Eine schmerzliche Lücke, die erst ein in den 1970er-Jahren abgehaltener musikwissenschaftlicher Kongress in Graz, mit einer langsam einsetzenden Schreker-Renaissance schloss. Zuletzt gab es 2015 den „Fernen Klang“ an der Grazer Oper zu erleben. Am 20. Mai 1920 war es Alexander von Zemlinsky, der die Musik seines Freundes Franz Schreker „Zum Besten des Deutschen Theatervereins“ in Prag herausbrachte. Die aktuelle Fassung für die gestrige Premiere stammt vom jungen russischen Regisseur Timofey Kulyabin und dem Dramaturgen Ilya Kuharenko. Die drei Akte lassen mit zwei Pausen auch Zeit für genügend frische Luft. Der Inhalt der Oper „Der ferne Klang“, für die Franz Schreker wie für die meisten seiner Opern, das Libretto selbst verfasste, dreht sich um den Komponisten Fritz und seine Geliebte Grete. Er verlässt sie auf der Suche nach dem reinen, perfekten Klang. Gretes Vater wiederum verspielt Grete im Rausch an den Wirt. Sie flieht zutiefst gekränkt. Als berühmte Kurtisane begegnet Grete Jahre später Fritz erneut. Er wirbt mit einem Lied um sie. Als Fritz erkennt, was aus ihr geworden ist, wendet er sich mit Schrecken ab. Im 3. Akt fällt seine Oper „Die Harfe“ durch. Grete sucht ihn auf, doch ist es zu spät. Fritz stirbt aus Erschöpfung in ihren Armen. Regisseur Timofey Kulyabin lässt die Oper in einer modernen europäischen Stadt spielen. Fritz ist ein ambitionierter Kompositionsprofessor und Grete ein junges Mädchen, seine Studentin und Geliebte. Es geht dem Regisseur weniger um das Bild des Fernen Klanges als vielmehr um das Recht der Frau auf Selbstverwirklichung und das Recht ihre Talente zu leben. Franz Schrekers Musik ist so überbordend prall an Klängen, dass sie auch ohne Worte auskommen würde. So findet in der Musik statt, was sich auf der Bühne kaum als Erlebniszauber wiederfindet. Die Kluft zwischen dem Unbewussten des „Fernen Klanges“ und einer Geschichte der Geschlechter, die in ihren gesellschaftlichen Rollenbildern stecken, schließt sich nicht. Dafür sind Timofey Kulyabin keine entsprechenden Bilder eingefallen. Lediglich das stumme Double der Grete lässt etwas an innerer Bewegung aufkommen. Bis zum Schluss bleibt jegliches Geschehen auf Distanz: ob im Wirtshaus, im Dark-Room des Freudenhauses oder im Künstlerzimmer des Komponisten. Grete geht relativ ungerührt wieder weg. Wäre spannend zu sehen, wohin sie das Leben nach den Machenschaften des Vaters und Fritz wiederholter Ablehnung führt. Die Partien der Grete und des Fritz sind äußerst fordernd. Svetlana Akse
Synopsis For their February 2013 cover story, the editors of BBC Music Magazine, came up with a list of the 50 most influential people in the history of music. Bach was on it, as you might expect – but so was Shakespeare. Any music lover can see the logic in that, and cite pieces like Mendelssohn's music for “A Midsummer Night's Dream” or Tchaikovsky's Overture-Fantasy entitled “Romeo and Juliet,” or all the great operas based on Shakespeare's plays, ranging from Verdi's “Falstaff” to a recent setting of “The Tempest” by Thomas Adès. And speaking of “The Tempest,” in New York on today's date in 1981, Sharon Robinson premiered a new solo cello suite she commissioned from the American composer Ned Rorem, a work titled “After Reading Shakespeare.” “Yes,” says Rorem, “I was re-reading Shakespeare the month the piece was accomplished… Yet the experience did not so much inspire the music itself as provide a cohesive program upon which the music be might formalized, and thus intellectually grasped by the listener.” Rorem even confessed that some of the titles were added AFTER the fact, “as when parents christen their children.“ After all, as Shakespeare's Juliet might put it, “What's in a name?” Music Played in Today's Program Ned Rorem (b. 1923) — After Reading Shakespeare (Sharon Robinson, cello) Naxos 8.559316 On This Day Births 1835 - Austrian composer and conductor Eduard Strauss, in Vienna; He was the youngest son of Johann Strauss, Sr.; 1864 - Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist Johan Halvorsen, in Drammen; 1901 - American composer Colin McPhee, in Montréal, Canada; 1926 - American composer Ben Johnston, in Macon, Ga.; 1928 - American composer Nicolas Flagello, in New York City; Deaths 1842 - Italian composer Luigi Cherubini, age 81, in Paris; 1918 - French composer Lili Boulanger, age 24, in Mezy; 1942 - Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, age 70, in Larchmont, N.Y.; Premieres 1807 - Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 (first public performance), in Vienna, at a benefit concert conducted by the composer; 1885 - Franck: symphonic poem "Les Dijinns" (The Genies), in Paris; 1897 - Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 (Gregorian date: Mar. 27); 1908 - Ravel: "Rapsodie espagnole" (Spanish Rhapsody), in Paris; 1911 - Scriabin: Symphony No. 5 ("Prometheus: Poem of Fire"), in Moscow, conducted by Serge Koussevitzky and with the composer performing the solo piano part (Julian date: Mar. 2); 1981 - Stockhausen: opera "Donnerstag, aus Licht" (Thursday, from Light), in Milan at the Teatro alla Scala; This is one of a projected cycle of seven operas, each named after a day of the week; 1994 - Peter Maxwell Davies: "Chat Moss" (the name of a quagmire in Lancashire) for orchestra, in Liverpool by the orchestra of St. Edward's College, John Moseley conducting; 2000 - Corigliano: "Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan," at Carnegie Hall, by soprano Sylvia McNair and pianist Martin Katz; An orchestrated version of this song-cycle premiered in Minneapolis on October 23, 2003, with soprano Hila Plitmann and the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano; Others 1895 - Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, age 22, makes his operatic debut at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples, singing the lead tenor role in Domenico Morelli's comic opera "L'Amico Francesco."

Mängder av judiska tonsättare och andra fick sina verk förbjudna i Nazi-tyskland. Deras musik kallades "entartete", på svenska "urartad" eller "degenererad". Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Dokumentären kretsar kring tre av de mest framstående judiska tonsättare som drabbades av den nazistiska kulturpolitiken under 1930-talet och framåt – Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942), Franz Schreker (1878-1934) och Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957). I programmet samtalar Musikrevyns i P2 programledare Johan Korssell med skivproducenten och musikforskaren Dr Michael Haas som inledde skivbolaget Deccas satsning på "Entartete Musik" i början av 90-talet, Korngoldexperten Brendan G. Carroll, dirigenten Marc Albrecht, Schrekerexperten Dr Christopher Hailey och den brittiske tenoren John Daszak som sjungit stora roller i operor av både Zemlinsky och Schreker. Vi träffar också Korngolds barnbarn, violinisten Kathrin Korngold-Hubbard i Portland, Oregon, USA och hör mer om hennes berömda farfar. Korngold prisades flera gånger, bland annat för musiken till filmerna "Anthony Adverse" (1936) och "Robin Hood" (1938). Efter kriget var hans många konsertverk och operor bortglömda, men Korngolds opera "Die tote Stadt" gör åter succé i uppsättningar världen över, så också många av Zemlinskys operor, exempelvis "Dvärgen" som spelas regelbundet. En P2 Dokumentär av Johan Korssell.

Novelist Tahmima Anam and New Generation Thinker Preti Taneja, from the University of Cambridge, discuss the poem and Tagore's place in both Bengali and world culture.

As part of the Music on the Brink season, each programme in this series of "The Essay" considers the special character of Vienna, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and London.Stepping back exactly a hundred years, five BBC News correspondents present personal perspectives on the capital cities of the major European powers that, later in 1914, would face each other in the Great War. We start in the capital of the Habsburg Empire and the rich multiculturalism of Mitteleuropa.In this programme, Bethany Bell, the BBC's Vienna Correspondent, evokes both the public face of Austria-Hungary's capital and the simmering tensions which underlay its multi-national empire on the eve of the greatest conflagration the world had yet seen. Taking us on a richly evocative tour of the embodiment of Mitteleuropa, she tells us about a world that was soon to be torn asunder but of which telling - and not always attractive - elements remain.It is all too easy to forget, she reminds us, that within months Vienna was home to Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Siegmund Freud and Josef Broz (later Marshal Tito) - all figures who defined the twentieth century. She also discusses the critic and satirist Karl Kraus and the controversial pre-World War One mayor of Vienna Karl Lueger.For the multiple nationalities of 1914 Vienna, the chronic tensions which bedevilled this polyglot empire were painfully familiar. The programme reveals what has survived to this day of the compromised nature of Vienna from the era of Zemlinsky and Schreker and of Schoenberg, Webern and Berg.Producer Simon Coates.
