Songs By a Great Tenor.
Jonas Kauffmann sings: “You mean the World to me”. On this new CD, tenor Jonas Kaufmann dedicates his new album to the golden era of German music, which flourished in Berlin between 1925 and 1935. He shows an amazing mastery of this demanding repertoire, which was written for the leading tenors of the time. Here are the titles of each track: “You Mean the World to Me” Abraham: Reich mir zum Abschied noch einmal die Hände (from Victor und ihr Husar), with Julia Kleiter (soprano) Diwanpüppchen (from Die Blume von Hawaii), with Julia Kleiter (soprano) Benatsky: Es muss was wunderbares sein It Would Be Wonderful Indeed Heymann: Irgendwo auf der Welt (from Der Blonde Traum) Kalman: Grüß mir mein Wien (from Gräfin Mariza) Korngold: Glück, das mir verbleib ‘Marietta’s Lied’ (from Die Tote Stadt), with Julia Kleiter (soprano) Künneke, Eduard: Das Lied vom Leben des Schrenk (from […]

The soprano last sang with the COC in Aida four years ago, and she's making a long awaited return. Hers is an absolutely top-class spinto, ideal in Verdi and all the bel canto operas. When I interviewed her around the time of her Aida, she mentioned her plan to sing the so-called Three Queens by Donizetti - Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda and Elisabetta in Roberto Devereux. Let's hope Torontonians will get to hear the other two with her in the future. Canadian baritone Russell Braun is Nottingham, and Roberto Devereux will be shared between American tenor Leonardo Capalbo […]

Joseph C. Phillips ~ On the New Score for The Loves of Pharaoh at BAM’s Next Wave
[…] thoroughly enjoyed. The Loves of Pharaoh: Promo for the BAM production CM: Does the original score have any bearing on what you have prepared for the new score? Joe: My first viewing of Pharaoh was with the original score, however almost all subsequent viewings were without the original score. From the beginning I wanted my own reactions and responses to the film to be uncolored by the musical and dramatic choices made by Eduard Künneke, the original composer of The Loves of Pharaoh; however, in my only nod to the original score, at the beginning of Act 6 “The Judgment of the Dead” I did extract the intervals from Künneke’s ‘Pharaoh’ theme, a melody that is heard constantly in the original, and made it the basis for the opening of that scene. Frankly I wanted to come at Pharaoh with a fresh, contemporary perspective and by being on this […]
