GOUNOD: FAUST GEDDA - HARPER - GHIAUROV - GAVAZZENI - TEATRO COLON 1971
[…] At the new Teatro Colon, the first perfomance took place in 1914, conducted by Tullio Serafin. It was starred by Alessandro Bonci, Nazareno de Angelis and Linda Canetti. Two years later Ninon Vallin was in charge of the role of Marguerite, a role she sang again in 1921. The role of Faust was sang by great tenors such as Giovanni Martinelli (1921), Georges Thill (1929) and Mario Fillipeschi (1949). As for Mephistopheles, the list is no less spectacular: Marcel Journet (1916, 1918 and 1929), Vanni Marcoux (1919), Adam Didur (1921), Ezio Pinza (1927) and Nicola Rossi-Lemeni (1956), besides the aforementioned Boris Christoff. The 1971 season was the 12th season in which Gounod´s opera was included. Up until then, one of the most acclaimed version of Faust had been the one performed in 1949: Tullio Serafin conducted an all-star cast, which included the italian singers Mario Fillipeschi and Nicola Rossi-Lemeni and the argentinian ones Helena Arizmendi and Nilda Hoffmann, […]

Met Opera Round-Up: The Season’s Last Gasp with ‘Guillaume Tell,’ ‘Tristan,’ and ‘The Flying Dutchman’ (Part One)
[…] Endrèze, Ernest Blanc, and Gabriel Bacquier. Some more Golden Age extracts include the first act duet between Tell and Arnold (“Ah, Mathilde, je t’aime”) with the tenor’s powerful high notes, sung to near perfection by the likes of Taddei and Filippeschi on the Cetra label; with Bechi and Filippeschi again in a private recording; Franci and Toscanini’s favorite tenor, Aureliano Pertile; Leo Slezak and Leopold Demuth; and the remarkable Martinelli (talk about robust!) with Marcel Journet. There’s also the great third act trio for Tell, Arnold and Walter Furst, delivered in waves of passionate intensity by Martinelli, with De Luca and Spanish basso José Mardones setting the standard for how this piece should be sung. John Relyea as Governor Gessler in Guillaume Tell While not a dramatic tenor by nature or birth, Bryan Hymel’s gloriously translucent tone overcame most of Arnold’s vocal hurdles. Despite some treacherous footing in the […]

There arose such a clatter
[…] had worked hard to present 14 operas over its first nine weeks. He hoped that the underrehearsed, indifferently acted performances he had often seen would not become the norm. 1903: Parsifal received its first staging anywhere other than the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, to which Wagner had decreed it be exclusive. Risking the enmity of the composer’s widow, who always had plenty to spare, were Milka Ternina, Alois Burgstaller, Anton Van Rooy, Otto Goritz, Robert Blass, Marcel Journet and conductor Alfred Hertz. The Times‘s Richard Aldrich was enthusiastic to the point of hyperbole: “The artistic value of the Parsifal production was of the very highest. It was in many respects equal to anything done at Bayreuth and, in some, much superior. It was without doubt the most perfect production ever made on the American lyric stage. Those who wish to quarrel with the performance on aesthetic, moral or religious grounds have still […]
