[…] story of Jaufré Rudel, a troubadour longing for a ‘love from afar’. When a pilgrim tells him that such a love really exists in Tripoli, Jaufré begins his pursuit, becoming sick with anguish on the journey. A beautifully dark and brooding opera, L’Amour de loin received its premiere in 2000 at the Salzburg Festival, a co-production with the Théatre du Chatelet, Paris and the Santa Fe Opera. Recommended Recording: Saariaho: L'Amour De Loin Ekhaterina Lekhina (soprano), Marie-Ange Todorovitch (mezzo-soprano), Daniel Belcher (tenor); Berlin Radio Chorus; Berlin Deutches Symphony Orchestra/Kent Nagano Harmonia Mundi HMC801937/38 Graal théâtre Written as a concerto for violin and orchestra in 1994 and arranged in 1997 for chamber orchestra, Graal théâtre takes its name from the book by Jacques Roubaud. According to Saariaho, ‘the title expresses the tension between the efforts of the composer when writing music and the theatrical aspect of a performance.’ The piece’s two movements are […]

[…] rehearsed but quit for mysterious "personal reasons". And Carla Filipcic Holm, of the second cast, was promoted to the first. She had sung the part at Buenos Aires Lírica in 2010 rather well. This time I found her uneven, with powerful moments followed by others of little vocal and dramatic presence. Serbian tenor Zoran Todorovitch (debut) was metallic and forced in his big monologue but later was better, as he found a more agreeable timbre and phrasing. The two basses were the best: Manfred Hemm (Rocco, debut) gave a well-practiced performance with a serviceable voice, and Hernán Iturralde was his usual assured self as Don Fernando, the Minister whose timely appearance puts things right. The villain Pizarro was sung with little focus to […]

A complete French radio performance from the early 1970s conducted by Manuel Rosenthal and featuring Andrea Guiot, Guy Chauvet and Robert Massard has circulated over the years on both tape and CD.

[…] her opening number. It wasn't great. Once she'd settled in, her hot/cold combination of incisiveness and passion embodied the headstrong princess. Boris Pinkhasovich made a strongly-sung but anodyne Gunther, though to be fair Reyer's score gives few opportunities for anything otherwise. His sister Hilda is much better written; the rivalry between her and Brunehilde is the opera's emotional high point. Anne Sophie Duprels made her wide-eyed and wayward most of the catfight. Marie-Ange Todorovitch as the wise old nurse Uta, and Nicolas Courjal as the Bard gave impressive performances too. Frédéric Chaslin conducted with sweaty fervour - there was no doubt he, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the chorus of the Grand Théâtre de Genève gave the discursive score their all. For a brief period in the 1890s, Sigurd was one of the most frequently performed operas in Paris, and premiered all over […]
