Arion: Voyage of a Slavic soul - Natalya Romaniw & Lada Valesova in Rimsky-Korskov, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Dvorak, Janacek, & Novak
[…] out the words, and also is not frightened of letting her voice blossom so that we have some intensely rapturous moments.Antonin Dvorak wrote his early song cycle, Cypresses in 1865 for Josefina Cermakova, to whom he gave piano lessons. Falling in love with her, his feelings were unreciprocated, and he ultimately married Josefina's sister Anna. Dvorak never published Cypresses but seems to have remained attached to the work. Whilst Cypresses sets 18 poems by Gustav Pfleger-Moravsky, Dvorak selected six songs in 1881 to revise as his Songs Opus 2, and then selected eight songs for revision to create his Love Songs Opus 83 in 1888. He would also arrange 12 songs for string quartet (also named Cypresses). Here Romaniw and Valesova perform the Love Songs Opus 83.Dvorak very much follows Pfleger-Moravsky's Czech texts, so that the vocal lines often have something of a declamatory feel as Dvorak brings out the […]

Elektra Guest Post, by John Fenster
[…] my initial complaints are oblique to the production concerns. It doesn’t make sense to complain that it isn’t die Vertraute but Orest himself that tells Klytämnestra a messenger (also him) is here to tell her that Orest is dead. Or that he still waits to see her leading to the recognition scene with Elektra. It makes zero sense, but the production is not trying to be coherent or logical. It made me mad that der Pfleger isn't immediately dismissive of Elektra to the extent that he even takes the ax which shouldn't be there in the first place from her. But this is her fantasy; she's going to have more of a sympathetic take on herself. The production has something interesting behind it. It was realized rather well, mostly. Fundamentally I understand having an active imagination when sad and helpless. When you’re upset about something you can't control it's […]

(FR) Akadêmia, Françoise Lasserre-conductor Concerts: "Opus IV: Augustin Pfleger" (22,23,24 feb 2012)
Sacred concertos for the Christmas and Easter seasons 22 feb 2012 Palais du Tau-Reims (51) 23 feb 2012 Salle des Fêtes de l'Hôtel de Ville-Troyes (10) 24 feb 2012 Notre-Dame du Rosaire-Chaumont (52) “The pieces of this programme come from the Düben collection at Uppsala University in Sweden. This library holds most of his Geistliche Konzerte (sacred concertos), composed to cover the entire liturgical year. They are situated midway between the works of Heinrich Schütz and the cantatas of Dietrich Buxtehude. Their form as dialogues between named protagonists gives some of these compositions a highly expressive, dramatic aspect. The recitatives are in the vein of Carissimi while the arias are frequently sung by two voices. The instrumental sinfonias are for strings only.
