More than a one-hit wonder
Paul Cooke considers Engelbert Humperdinck
Advertisement
One of my earliest musical memories is of watching Hansel and Gretel on ABC television sometime in the mid sixties, with those roles played by Brian Gilbert and Jacki Weaver but sung by Marilyn Richardson and Janet Rutledge. I was of an age when the attraction would have been seeing the fairytale come to life: I knew nothing of the composer, the centenary of whose death we are commemorating this month. For a composer nearing 40 years of age, Hansel and Gretel was a turning point for Humperdinck. He became famous overnight and financially independent, receiving more than 400 unsolicited librettos from hopeful collaborators. Humperdinck was fêted by his contemporaries: Richard Strauss, to whom he had sent the completed score, conducted the premiere of Hansel and Gretel in Weimar in 1893 and thought it ‘a masterpiece of the highest quality’, praising its ‘heartwarming humour’ and its ‘delightfully naive musical idiom’. Mahler conducted it in Hamburg within the year, and Brahms attended the first performance in Vienna, where it was accorded ‘a great success ... The composer was called for 16 times by the enthusiastic audience’. It was very quickly being performed in opera houses throughout Europe and finally made its way to Australia in 1907, opening in Melbourne on the afternoon of Saturday 6 April. Press reviews of the time noted that the music was splendidly played, but that Johanna Heinze (playing the Witch) “cavorted round on the broom in a manner so unreal and amateurish that it would have saved her from the pond and the stake a couple of hundred years ago”. The success of Hansel and Gretel can possibly be attributed to the way Humperdinck synthesised his various influences. Supernatural themes had held sway in German opera since Weber’s Der Freischütz, but Humperdinck infused this with a seriousness deriving from Wagnerian harmonies and orchestration and reflected in undercurrents of poverty and deprivation. At the same time, he leavened the portentousness with tuneful melodies, often influenced by folk song. Humperdinck composed four other operas and also worked in other genres. Most of his chamber music was written during his student years, before he had come under Wagner’s influence; while it was not his preferred mode of expression, he composed music for the private circle of the judge, and amateur violinist, Johannes Degen. Between 1905 and 1908 he wrote incidental music for a variety of Shakespeare’s plays. These were taken up and performed in more than 300 theatres up until World War II, and Humperdinck himself adapted them into suites for concert use. The composer was increasingly unwell from about this time. He would occasionally take rest at the Berlin villa of Isadora Duncan (he had apparently once written music for her to dance to). Humperdinck suffered a stroke in 1912, causing permanent paralysis of his left hand; in 1914 he applied for the position of director at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but was unsuccessful, due both to his ill-health and his nationality. He continued to compose, completing Gaudeamus, with his son Wolfram in 1918, and in 1920, a string quartet which harked back to his student days. Humperdinck died in 1921, the day after attending a performance of Der Freischütz for which Wolfram was stage director.
In the Shadow of Sibelius
Nicky Gluch looks at the career of underrated Finnish composer Joonas Kokkonen
In writing his obituary, music critic and champion of neglected repertoire Martin Anderson described Joonas Kokkonen as ‘the most important figure in Finnish musical life after Sibelius’. Kokkonen has also been described as Sibelius’ ‘spiritual successor’. For those of us less au fait with Finnish composer chronology, it could be supposed that Kokkonen was a teenage acolyte of Sibelius, reaching adulthood as the latter declined.
It’s a romantic idea, but alas … Kokkonen, who would have turned 100 this year, lived half of his life in Sibelius’ shadow; he was just 35 when Sibelius died in 1957. It is more likely that he had to tussle with the great man’s fame. Perhaps this is why his ‘breakthrough’ orchestral work was only written the year Sibelius died.
The question is, how does a composer find his own voice when his world is dominated by such a luminary? Sibelius’ symphonic writing influenced not only Finnish composers, but also inspired British ones to pick up their pens. Elgar inspired the British symphonic revival, but it was Sibelius who held the allure for composers such as Arnold Bax and Vaughan Williams. Sibelius was not just a great artist – to the small Finnish nation, he was its voice, his music the essence of its long-fought independence. Accordingly, the year Kokkonen turned 18, the Helsinki Music Institute was renamed in Sibelius’ honour. Ten years later, Kokkonen would become a lecturer there, the shadow looming long...
By the time Kokkonen came to write his first symphony, he was experimenting with serialism. This dalliance is characteristic of his middle period (c. 1959-1967), though Kokkonen was far from a zealot. Indeed, his love of harmony led him to twist the rules of dodecaphony to educe triads (chords) out of his tone rows. In Anderson’s words, Kokkonen was ‘too much of a humanist to write music that didn’t appeal to the heart as much as to the brain’. Kokkonen’s second symphonic venture continued in this vein. Indeed, the composer suggested that in writing his Symphony no 1, he had been left with some residual ideas that warranted spinning out. Symphony no 2 is the result, a complex and highly dissonant work described as ‘enigmatic and austere’. Kokkonen was now 40 – did he have to push music to its limits in order to break free?
Over the next six years, Kokkonen would be honoured with a series of prestigious appointments. In 1963, he was elected a member of the Finnish Academy and in 1965, he became president of the Society of Finnish Composers. As such, in the year that Sibelius would have turned 100, the baton was finally passed to the next generation. Kokkonen’s music may be lesser known, but the impact he had on improving musical life in his country should not go unrecognised.
The year 1967 was a turning point for Kokkonen; with the composition of his third symphony, he entered his third stylistic period – free tonality. In this new mode, Kokkonen would go on to write some of his best-known works, his Symphony no 4 (1971), an opera, The Last Temptations (1975); and his Requiem (1981), written in memory of his second wife, Maija. The man who wrote for the heart, now wrote from the heart; as the shadows slipped away, so he allowed melody to sing.
Great Jazz from Fine Music: Two Piano Trios
Favourite Albums from the Fine Music Jazz Crew
In recent articles in this series, we have profiled favourite jazz albums of several of our Fine Music jazz presenters. What makes the fine jazz on Fine Music so good is the variety of tastes and experiences our presenters bring to their weekly playlists. But what makes a favourite, that music that you want to take on a road trip, sit down to on a chilly night with a close friend, engage with when you are concentrating on a complex task, or simply chilling out? This month, we have two quite different favourites. Both piano trios, but distinctive styles and emphases. Both magical and otherworldly, transporting you to different depths of emotion.
Vivid – Barney McAll Trio New York – 2018 – Jazzhead Barney McAll is an Australian pianist, born in 1966. His father was a lover of traditional jazz and his elder brother introduced him to contemporary musicians Bud Powell and Bill Evans. He played the Melbourne jazz scene, including as pianist for Vince Jones. He won the inaugural AMP Jazz Piano Award at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival, and spent the prize money travelling to New York, where he remains. He has continuing links with Australia, winning APRA, ARIA, Age Music and Bell awards, as well as the Peggy Glanville-Hicks residency in Sydney, and an Australia Council Fellowship. Ever inventive, he has formed ensembles including ASIO (Australian Symbiotic Improvisers Orbit) and MODAS (Mother of Dreams and Secrets). Vivid was released in 2018 and is a collaboration with tabla player and percussionist Badal Roy, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia. It also features African and Indian vocalists and world-class special guests Fred Wesley (off James Brown) and Jo Jo Kua (off Fela Kuti), as well as a cast of luminaries. For Robert, Vivid follows a sequence of outstanding McAll releases, including Mooralbark, Hearing the blood and An Extra Celestial Christmas. It continues to use voice as a principal instrument. Of the 13 tracks on the album, Robert recommends: Chinese cello, 25 Min, Balatabla, and Allankar.

Changing Places – Tord Gustavsen Trio
Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway – 2003 – ECM Tord Gustavsen is a Norwegian pianist, born in Oslo in 1970 and brought up in the rural area outside the capital. He grew up playing church music. Playing piano at four, he was composing and improvising before he could read music. After achieving a degree in psychology, he studied jazz piano at the Conservatorium in Trondheim and then musicology in Oslo, before becoming an adjunct professor at the University of Oslo. His main field of interest is ‘the psychology and phenomenology of improvisation’, drawing ‘… on the psychology of relationships developed by German psychoanalytic Helm Stierlin and Norwegian psychologist Anne-Lise Løvlie Schibbye’. His thesis was titled The Dialectical Eroticism of Improvisation. Changing Places was his first album with ECM, and the first of a trilogy including Ground (2005) and Being There (2007). Gustavsen on piano was accompanied by Harald Johnsen on double bass and Jarle Vespested on drums. The albums contained ‘rapt, pristine, meditative music, which resonated with the inner needs of a large, discriminating audience’. Changing Places demonstrates meticulously constructed melodies and rhythms, with hints of Bill Evans’ style. Tord Gustavsen is a gifted melody maker showing a series of deftly executed choruses and sublime themes. For Leita, what takes her breath away is how sensitive, deep and soulful this music is. Gustavsen’s interest in psychology and music have produced an unusual product, and Changing Places is the intersection and union of both interests. It’s soft and dreamy, unavoidably sensual, personal, intense, elegantly dramatic and contemplative. He’s expressed something that can take your breath away. Just sit in a beautifully weathered, earthcoloured leather chair, warm and comfortable against the elements, with a round balloon of fragrant cognac cupped in your hand. Set one reading light to illuminate you, and give yourself time to listen to a few tracks.

Volunteer Spotlight - Madilina Tresca
Pamela Newling talks with Programmer Madilina Tresca
A love of music is usually what drives volunteers to become involved with 2MBS Fine Music Sydney. Madilina Tresca is no exception, although she says it was pure chance that she stumbled across 2MBS-FM. Curiosity led her to make the call to volunteer, which she has been doing since 2003. As a child born in Sydney of Italian migrants, Madilina learned at a very young age the magic that exists in music. She says: “When my parents played their albums and sang songs from the Italian region of Abruzzo something magical always happened. They beamed! They were at their happiest when they sang those songs from the depth of their soul. Two favourites - Reginella Campagnola and Zi’ Nicola.” Asked about the process of programming, Madilina explains that her choice of music is dependent on the type of program. For example, for regular offerings such as Diversions in Fine Music, Concert Hall, or Baroque and Before, the programmer must adhere to the guidelines set out by the Programming Committee. This includes taking into consideration the time of day or night the program will be presented. Some pieces of music just don’t work when aired at particular times. She says: “When I discover a piece of music that is ‘magical’ but not appropriate for a current program I happen to be working on, I place it aside for a future occasion.” Madilina’s favourite projects are for thematic classical programs. She says: “I have free rein to use the pieces of music of my choice. The time and day of broadcasting is left up to others to decide. Um … let’s not mention the timing/length of a program – every programmer’s nightmare!” Franz Liszt and Elena Kats-Chernin rate as Madilina’s favourite composers. As for memorable performances, Madilina recalls John Bell’s production of Puccini’s Tosca at the Sydney Opera House in 2013. She says: “Korean born Yonghoon Lee as Cavaradossi and Greek soprano Alexia Voulgaridou as Floria Tosca were exquisitely mesmerising. I had goosebump moments throughout the performance.” She adds: “And of course, performances from Richard Tognetti with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. I never want their concerts to end.”
Outside Fine Music Sydney, Madilina finds time to work out three times a week with a personal trainer and is looking forward to doing the 28km Sydney 7 Bridges Walk again this year. She also does the Spit to Manly Walk on Sundays as often as she can. Like so many others, she says: “Interstate travel seems to be a figment of my imagination these days during the pandemic lockdown.” Bonuses for her involvement with the station are: “The people. The support. The camaraderie … and the new coffee machine!”
I enjoy a wide variety of music, including jazz, world music, blues, light classics...the list is endless.

Misra Chappu
Coco’s Lunch Self Released
Plenitude
Raul De Souza Generations Band Blujazz PAO Records
Lost Ships
Elina Duni and Rob Luft ECM Records I first came across Lisa Young — singer, composer and educator — listening to her self-released 1984 record, Fire and the Spark, and being transfixed by the beauty and power of her voice. Since then, she has released four albums of jazz interwoven with world music with her Quartet, and seven albums with Coco’s Lunch, who have been described as ‘Melbourne’s magical purveyors of the a cappella art’. On this album, Young is joined by Jacqueline Gawler, Nicola Eveleigh, Gabrielle MacGregor and Emma Gilmartin, together with musicians playing a variety of ethnic percussion instruments. The title, Misra Chappu, refers to a South Indian rhythmic cycle of three and a half beats and reflects Young’s study of konnakol (South Indian vocal percussion), the subject of her PhD thesis. Rhythmic risk-taking, soaring melodies, and the harmonic interplay of voices of different timbres, all play their part in producing exciting, improvised music. Created during Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdown last year, the album succeeds in ‘bringing healing, light and beauty to the world’. — Paul Cooke
Considered to be one of the greatest trombonists in the world and renowned for his swing improvisation, Brazilian Raul De Souza is credited with creating the Bossa Nova of the ‘50s and Samba jazz of the ‘60s. From Sérgio Mendes to Sonny Rollins, from Flora Purim to Herbie Hancock and Jaco Pastorius, he collaborated with the jazz greats. In 2017, he started working with trombonist Christophe Schweizer, piano discovery Alex Correa, bassist Glauco Solter and drum prodigy Matheus Jardim. Styled as the Generations Band, they developed their own infectious blend of Funk, trimmed with traditional and contemporary Brazilian Jazz. Their last album Plenitude has contemporary arrangements of de Souza’s early funk successes such as Sweet Lucy and Daisy Mae, collaborations with old friends (including a rework of Apesar de Você by compatriot Chico Buarque), plus brand-new compositions. Listen for the luscious brass harmonies on Funk das Meninas, De Souza gliding on Nana and slinking over Netinha Aura. The horns get soulful on Tombo in 7/4 and clearly lyrical on Plenitude. De Souza died in July from cancer, days after the release of Plenitude. At 87, his playing had not lost any of its energy. Working with younger players clearly served only to reinvigorate his music. - Keith Pettigrew
Lost Ships brings together for the firsttime principal performers vocalist Elina Duni and guitarist Rob Luft, with a song list which includes six original and four folk songs. The original songs reference 21st century issues such as the effects of climate change and displaced people. Duni was born in Albania and fled with her family to Switzerland when aged 10 to avoid civil unrest. There she continued classical music studies which eventually led to a career as a jazz/folk singer. She has recorded seven albums to date. Luft at 26 is a multi-awardwinning London guitarist, acknowledged as a skilled arranger and influenced by late compatriots John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler. They are joined by Fred Thomas on piano, and Matthieu Michel on flugelhorn. Album highlights include the title track which speaks of refugees lost at sea, and the American gospel song The wayfaring stranger. - Robert Vale
Le Banquet Céleste; Damien Guillon Alpha Classics ALPHA 725 Philipp Heinrich Erlebach was one of many German composers of the late 17th century whose work has fallen off the pages of history. Erlebach is reputed to have possessed a library of 2500 manuscripts of music, a collection of others and his own, that was destroyed some 20 years after his death in a fire at Rudolfstadt where he had served as Kapellmeister. His surviving works are from the collections of others, and it has required a good deal of detective work to uncover them. Amongst Erlebach’s exceptional works are his two sets of Harmonious Joy of Musical Friends: Moral and Political Songs with Ritornellos. These are examples both of secular German song and of the ethics of their day, and they are given a sympathetic and engaging interpretation from Le Banquet Céleste, voiced and led by counter-tenor Damien Guillon. Alongside Erlebach’s songs are two instrumental sonatas that allow us to perceive even better the craft and imagination of this almost forgotten composer. Delicate music that will soothe the soul.

John Allan: Mirabile in Prague
Members of Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra; David Kram Move MD 3448
Mirabile in Prague is a survey of the music of Australian composer John Allan. He has been composing since 1987: fittingly, the CD opens with a piece from 1988, and ends with an orchestration from 2013. The title is taken from the third track, a piece that was inspired by the birth of Allan’s daughter and which, like the majority, began its life as a work for solo piano. In its orchestrated form, Allan evokes a sense of intimacy through soft strings over which the deliberate pluckings of a harp and the sweet sound of a flute emerge. It is interesting to contrast this track with the two following, as they derive from the Mirabile theme. Mirabilia Antipodia has touches of Westlake’s Antarctica in the way it evokes this Southern Land. Allan’s orchestrations of Debussy and Brahms are similarly evocative in their colouring. The castanets in La Soirée dans Grenade add a lovely charm. This CD is a tribute to Allan’s career, and his efforts in sharing his music with the world.

Walkie Talkie
Sam Killick Self Released Commencing a jazz career at the Sydney Conservatorium with a scholarship is a hallmark of emergent talent. Hailing from Port Macquarie, Sam Killick bought a new electric guitar and gear for his jazz performance studies. Now a graduate, but caught in the grip of the pandemic’s dearth of performance opportunities, Killick has embraced a plethora of projects. He has formed and recorded with Mansion, all graduates from the Conservatorium, as well as recording with a fellow guitarist from the UNSW jazz campus. He has also just released a solo EP, Walkie Talkie.
The album started with recording a two-hour improvised guitar set. Add some overdubs from modular synth, flute, clarinet and some choice household objects. Inject a hint of surf guitar reminiscent of the Shadows and Ventures, and contemplate an empty beach, listening to the waves and birds. A sense of stillness that engenders improvisation. Listen out for that empty beach with First Light, and the guttural bass in Hold Your Breath, and then the gentleness of Take Leave, complete with bird sounds. Elements remind me of Narciso Yepes’ guitar. Moody and relaxing. This is an engaging soundscape. - Keith Pettigrew
Frequency Modulation
You have asked for our opinion so here it is. I am in my late 70s, semi-retired, so my preferences in music are somewhat established. What I enjoy about Fine Music FM is the focus on the music, not on personalities (unlike other stations that play classical music). So, not as much chat about and by the presenters, but concise comments about the music. I have enjoyed listening to mainly classical music while working/studying since my university days, so your station suits me well, as I still read and write in my office. Thank you!
- Roger Kemp
εκπληκτικός
I am just loving the Greek program and all the music that has been going to air on previous programmes this morning. I would like to know whether any of this Greek music is available on CD or whether it can be accessed online or Spotify. Or whether I can listen to the programme again. It is truly wonderful. Thank you, Gerry Myerson
- Name withheld Jazz Variety
Thanks to Leita Hutchings for her program Jazz Lounge today for an interesting version of St James Infirmary (with some words from Frankie and Johnny), as she always finds some works out of the mainstream. The program adds variety to the day’s lunchtime listening.

Peace Be With You
I would like to comment on the ‘Oh Hosannna’ letter to the Editor (FMM August issue). I have just listened to a beautiful mass in Musica Sacre, for which I thank you very much. Musica Sacre and Hosanna have become especially important in this time of lockdown when none of us can attend church services. You are providing a much-appreciated service to listeners from a wide background, not just from the ‘English Church tradition’, as the writer says. There is no such thing as an ‘obscure Mass setting’. A mass is a mass: it is always good to hear good music. Please keep up the inclusive programming that we love.

EMI 7 47559 8 2:19 Set in 14th century Scotland, the blacksmith, Henry, yearns for the glover’s daughter, Catherine, to be his Valentine. He gives her a rose brooch in advance of the day. A duke arrives at the forge, and he flirts with Catherine which almost causes a fight, until Mab (the Queen of the Gypsies, who has been hiding there) emerges to protect the Duke. She picks up the rose brooch which Catherine has thrown away. Later, outside Catherine’s window, the Duke asks Mab to bring Catherine to a ball at his palace that night. Henry tries to serenade his sweetheart, but with no success. Ralph, the glover’s apprentice, arrives drunk and in despair. He sees a lady that he believes is Catherine getting into a litter and leaving, so he sends Henry after it; however, it’s not Catherine. At the palace, the Duke is expecting his new conquest, and when a masked lady appears, he finds out it is Mab (who promptly disappears, leaving the brooch behind). Henry arrives, thinking Catherine has been unfaithful, so he hides. The glover arrives to invite the Duke to his daughter’s upcoming wedding. Thinking this confirms his suspicions, Henry accuses Catherine of betrayal, especially after noticing that the Duke has the rose brooch. Ralph tries to persuade Henry that his suspicions are unfounded, and agrees to meet Henry in a duel. Later, Mab arrives with the news that the Duke has prevented the duel, but the glover alleges his daughter has lost her mind. To shock her back to sense, Mab sings a reply to Henry’s earlier serenade. Catherine regains her senses and is soon back in Henry’s arms preparing for a happy Valentine’s Day.

ALBERT: Misha Didyk, ten BARON: Ildar Abdrazakov, bass DUKE: Sergei Murzaev, bar MONEYLENDER: Peter Bronder, ten BBC PO/Gianandrea Noseda. Chandos CHAN 10544 59 The young knight, Albert, finds himself in debt because of his jousting and courtly pleasures. His father, a very wealthy but equally frugal baron, refuses to support his son's lifestyle. Albert tries to obtain a loan from a moneylender who instead offers him poison to murder his father. Albert is appalled. Albert’s father gloats over his treasure but realises that Albert could fritter it away on sensual pleasures. Albert appeals to the Duke for help in obtaining money from his father. The Duke asks the Baron to support his son, but the Baron accuses Albert of wanting to steal from him. Albert, in hiding, overhears this and reveals his presence. He accuses his father of lying. When the Baron and Albert are about to engage in a duel, the Duke banishes Albert from his court. Stressed by this confrontation, the Baron collapses, and, as he dies, his last request is not for his son, but for the keys to his chests of gold.

Chandos 10347(2) 1:39 The son of the King of Clubs is unable to laugh. Attempts by the jester Truffaldino to cure him are frustrated by the prime minister, Leandro, who is conspiring with Clarissa, the king’s niece, to take the throne. They are protected by the witch Fata Morgana, while the king is under the protection of the magician Tchelio. The prince only laughs when Fata Morgana falls head-over-heels. She puts a curse on him: he will fall in love with three oranges and pursue them to the ends of the earth. He sets off on the quest with Truffaldino. Following the advice of the magician, he steals the oranges from a monstrous cook, but the magician has also warned him not to cut the oranges unless he is near water and while he sleeps, Truffaldino, who is thirsty, cuts open two of them and the princesses inside die of thirst. Even when the prince cuts open the third orange, he is unable to provide a drink for the princess, Ninetta, who is only saved by the intervention of the audience. Smeraldina, Fata Morgana’s servant, puts the princess to sleep and substitutes herself, metamorphosing into a rat. Tchelio turns the rat into the princess and the conspirators are defeated.

Prepared by Anne-Louise Luccarini Offenbach, J. La vie parisienne. Operetta in four acts. Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. First performed Paris, 1873. RAOUL de GARDEFEU: Andreas Schindler, ten BOBINET CHICARD: Klaus Hammes Brock, ten MÉTELLA: Martina Serafin, mezz LORD MacDONALD: Michael Glücksmann, bar LADY MacDONALD: Ingrid Kaiserfeld, sop BRAZILIAN: Götz Zemann, bar FRICK/PROSPER: Wolfgang Gratschmaie, bar Mörbisch Festival Ch; Burgenland SO/Rudolph Bible. OEHMS classics OC 252 1:16 At the bustling Saint-Lazare station, in 1860, constantly arriving trains are filled with wealthy foreigners, eager to experience the fabled gaiety of Parisian life. Gardefeu and Bobinet, rivals for the favours of the lovely Métella, studiously ignore each other but when she arrives from Trouville on the arm of another, they bury the hatchet and resolve to address a worthier social level. Tourists continue to pour in, and Gardefeu’s former servant Joseph, now working for the Grand Hotel, arrives to fetch an English lord and his wife. Gardefeu takes one look at the delectable Lady MacDonald and bribes Joseph to change places. He escorts the couple to his own townhouse, telling them it’s an annexe of the Grand Hotel, and lodges them in well-separated bedrooms. This suits his lordship, as his idea of a good time in Paris involves becoming acquainted with Métella, whose reputation has crossed the Channel. Gardefeu plans to beguile Lord MacDonald with an elaborate dinner and then somehow get him out of the way, leaving himself a clear field with her ladyship. A hapless bootmaker and glover, arriving to deliver their goods, find themselves posing as a major and a colonel’s widow, with a tableful of hurriedly assembled ‘friends’. A remarkably good time is had by all, and, after this, Bobinet hosts an intimate gathering at his absent aunt’s townhouse. Servants turn into fashionable guests. Bobinet becomes an admiral, with the chambermaid as his wife, her task being to seduce Lord MacDonald. However, Métella, anxious to win back Gardefeu, joins forces with her ladyship, who wants to extricate her husband from the perils of Parisian life. This is achieved, but not before Gardefeu and his lordship almost come to blows. All’s well that ends well; c’est la vie parisienne!

20:00 AT THE OPERA
Prepared by Elaine Siversen Massenet, J. Don Quichotte. Opera in five acts. Libretto by Henri Cain. First performed Monte Carlo, 1910. DULCINÉE: Anna Kiknadze, mezz DON QUICHOTTE: Ferruccio Furlanetto, ten SANCHO PANÇA: Andrei Serov, bass-bar JUAN: Dmitry Koleushko TENEBRIN, BANDIT CHIEF: Didier Jouanny Mariinsky Theatre Ch & O/Valery Gergiev. Mariinsky MAR0523 1:52 In a small town in Spain, the beautiful Dulcinée is being praised and admired, but despite the general adoration, feels some strange dissatisfaction: she longs to meet a true knight. Don Quichotte and his faithful servant, Sancho Pança, arrive amid the general laughter and merriment. The crowd makes fun of the knight's rueful countenance and his veneration for the beautiful Dulcinée, whom he sees as the ideal woman. He sings a serenade to her and is challenged to a duel by Juan, another of her admirers. Dulcinée prevents the fight and Don Quichotte declares that henceforth he will serve her. As proof of his devotion, she asks him to recover a necklace stolen from her by bandits. Don Quichotte sets out without delay, accompanied by the unhappy Sanço. While the two are resting on their quest, the bandits appear and are about to hang Don Quichotte. He stops them by telling them his story. Tenbrin, leader of the bandits, is so touched that he releases Don Quichotte and gives him the necklace to return. The victorious knight returns to Dulcinée with the necklace and asks for her hand in marriage. She is delighted with the necklace but refuses his offer. Crushed by her rejection, Don Quichotte leaves. Sanço tries to console him but the old knight feels death approaching. As he thinks of Dulcinée, Don Quichotte dies. Ballet music from Le Cid (1885).

POLIUTO: José Carreras, ten PAOLINA: Katia Ricciarelli, sop NEARCO: Paolo Gavaelli, bass SEVERO: Juan Pons, bar CALLISTENE: László Polgár, bass Vienna Singakademie; Vienna SO/Oleg Caetani. CBS M2K 44821 1:46 Set in Roman Armenia during the reign of the Roman emperor Decius from 249 to 251 A.D., Poliuto, an Armenian nobleman secretly converts to Christianity, which under the new Roman laws is punishable by death. His wife Paolina, suspecting his interest in the new faith, follows him to the Christian’s secret meeting place. Nearco, the leader of the Armenian Christians reports that the Roman general, Severo will soon arrive to help with the persecution of the Christians. Paolina is torn as she only married Poliuto believing Severo to be dead. The High Priest, Callistene tells Severo that Paolina's marriage may have been forced on her and arranges a meeting. He also arranges for Polituo to overhear the meeting of the two former lovers, arousing his jealousy. The news of Nearco’s capture prevents him from taking action against his wife, whom he believes unfaithful. To save Nearco, Polituo reveals his conversion to Christianity. While he is in prison, he has a dream that Paolina was really faithful and when she visits him, he forgives her. She tries to persuade him to give up his faith and when he refuses, she begs to be allowed to convert to Christianity. They both join the other Christians as they are led off to the lions.

20:00 AT THE OPERA
Grétry, A-E-M. Zémire et Azor. Opéra comique in four acts. Libretto by JeanFrançois Marmontel, after Madame de Beaumont’s La Belle et Bête. First performed Fontainebleau, 1771. SANDER: Bruce Kelly, ten ZÉMIRE: Martine Masquelin, sop ALI: Albert Voli, bar AZOR: Gérard Garino, ten Herman Stinders, hpd; Royal Wallonian Opera Ch & O/Alan Curtis. Rodolphe RPC32525 1:48 The merchant Sander has three daughters. He promises to bring back from a voyage any gift they desire. Two ask for expensive gifts, but Zémire seeks only a rose. Sander and his servant Ali are shipwrecked on the way home. They reach land and discover a castle, apparently deserted but with a banquet table set for them. While there, Sander plucks a rose for Zémire. The lord of the castle appears. He is Azor, half man, half beast, and declares that anyone stealing his flowers will be condemned to death. After Sander explains, Azor pardons him on condition that he be allowed to marry one of Sander’s daughters. Sander and Ali return home. Ali tells Zémire about the pact and she persuades Ali to take her to Azor. Azor laments his ugliness, imposed by a curse, and contrasts it with his longing for love and affection. Zémire arrives in the castle and is entertained by Azor’s
servants. On seeing Azor she faints, but his courtesy and charm start to win her over. He allows Zémire to go home as long as she promises to return. Sander tries to persuade her not to return to Azor, but she insists on keeping her promise. Back at the castle, Azor laments Zémire’s absence but then hears her calling to him. She declares her love and the curse is lifted, Azor returning to his fully human state. All sing of the power of love as the opera concludes. Tambourine, from Céphale et Procris (1773).
