The great Lithuanian tenor Kipras Petrauskas +••.••(...)) received his musical education from his father (who was a woodworker by trade and also worked as organist for various churches) and his elder brother Mikas (who was a well-known music teacher and composer). His artistic career began in 1905 (and after many striking twists, ended!) in Vilnius where he began to sing in his brother‘s musical productions. Realizing that he needed further training, Petrauskas subsequently moved to St. Petersburg where he continued his vocal studies at the conservatory. During his four years there, he sang the leading tenor roles in many student productions, including Yevgeny Onegin, Faust and others. Upon leaving the Conservatory, then already a popular tenor Кипрiанъ Пiатровскiй was bombarded by contracts. He chose the Mariinsky theatre in St. Petergsburg where he debuted in the Herzog‘s role in Rigoletto in 1911. Petrauskas remained there for the next decade and developed more than 50 memorable roles, including those in La Traviata, Tosca, La Bohème, Manon, Faust and others. As Petrauskas matured, he began to take on more dramatic roles such as Don José in Carmen, Radames in Aida, Canio in Pagliacci, the title roles in Andrea Chénier, Lohengrin and even Otello. The handsome tenor swept along many beauties of St. Petersburg (the M. and K. Petrauskas‘ museum in Kaunas keeps some 400 their billets-doux). After returning to his native Lithuania in the early 1920s, the singer was instrumental in establishing the Lithuanian Opera Theatre in the town of Kaunas (the Opera was opened on December 31, 1920; after the WWII, it moved to Vilnius). In 1928 Petrauskas accompanied Fedor Shaliapin, his close friend since St. Peterburg days, on the Berlin stage. The next year and with the same company he took a long tour through Europe to the South America (a similar trip took place also in 1936). In 1933, the singer made his impressive La Scala debut as Grishka Kuterma in Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh. Kipras Petrauskas is remembered for his charming lyricism, natural artistic restraint, good taste and his considerable musicianship which permeated every phrase he sang. He enjoyed an unusually long career (more than fifty years) and developed an impressive repertoire of over eighty roles. His final stage appearance was as Don José in Carmen in 1958 in Vilnius, at the age of 73. By that time, the elderly tenor was a Professor of Voice at the Vilnius Conservatory, a post he assumed in 1949. Most of his his ‘golden’ records were produced between 1920 and 1948 on the shellac disks. ‘The great Lithuanian tenor’ is a splendid set of two CDs (Lithuania, Prior Musica, 2008) containing Petrauskas’ remastered records from Algirdas Motieka collection and a 32-page booklet. The first CD is devoted to the operatic repertoire, the second one covers song repertoire. In this recording, Petrauskas offers a Russian language version of Faust‘s cavatine ‘Salut, demeure chaste et pure’ from the famous Gounod’s opera. The shellac record was published by Odeon.
Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky Shostakovich Yevgeniya Mravina Tchaikovsky Schubert Brahms Lugansky Mariinsky Theatre Bolshoi Royal Festival Hall 1903 1918 1923 1929 1931 1938 1946 1956 1960 1973 1984 1987 1988
Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky (Russian: Евге́ний Алекса́ндрович Мрави́нский) (4 June [O.S. 22 May] 1903 / 19 January 1988) was a Soviet-Russian conductor. Mravinsky was born in Saint Petersburg. The soprano Yevgeniya Mravina was his aunt. His father died in 1918, and in that same year, he began to work backstage at the Mariinsky Theatre. He first studied biology at the university in Leningrad, before going to the Leningrad Conservatory to study music. He served as a ballet repetiteur from 1923 to 1931. His first public conducting appearance was in 1929. Through the 1930s he conducted at the Kirov Ballet and Bolshoi Opera. In September 1938, he won the All-Union Conductors Competition in Moscow. In October 1938, Mravinsky took up the post that he was to hold until 1988: principal conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he had made his debut as a conductor in 1931. Under Mravinsky, the Leningrad Philharmonic gained a legendary reputation, particularly in Russian music such as Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. During World War II, Mravinsky and the orchestra were evacuated to Siberia. But members of the Leningrad Philharmonic's reserve orchestra and the Leningrad Radio Orchestra were left behind in the siege of Leningrad, so it fell to Karl Eliasberg to conduct the surviving musicians in the Leningrad premiere of the Symphony No.7 "Leningrad" by Shostakovich. Mravinsky first went on tour abroad in 1946, including performances in Finland and in Czechoslovakia (at the Prague Spring Festival). Later tours with orchestra included a June 1956 itinerary to West Germany, East Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their only tour to Great Britain was in September 1960 to the Edinburgh Festival and the Royal Festival Hall, London. Their first tour to Japan was in May 1973. Their last foreign tour was in 1984, to West Germany. His last concert was on 6 March 1987 (Schubert, Symphony No. 8, and Brahms, Symphony No. 4). Mravinsky died in Leningrad in 1988, aged 84. Recordings reveal Mravinsky to have an extraordinary technical control over the orchestra, especially over dynamics. He was also a very exciting conductor, frequently changing tempo in order to heighten the musical effect for which he was striving, often making prominent use of brass instrumentation. Surviving videos show that Mravinsky had a sober appearance at the podium, making simple but very clear gestures, often without a baton. The critic David Fanning has memorably described some of Mravinsky's Tchaikovsky performances: 'The Leningrad Philharmonic play like a wild stallion, only just held in check by the willpower of its master. Every smallest movement is placed with fierce pride; at any moment it may break into such a frenzied gallop that you hardly know whether to feel exhilarated or terrified'....
