In 1474 Guillaume Dufay died at about age 74 in Cambrai. In 1743 George Frideric Handel’s “Dettingen Te Deum and Anthem” was premiered in London at the Chapel Royal, St. James’s Palace, to celebrate the safe return of George II to England, after a victory over the French in Bavaria (Gregorian date: Dec. 8). In 1745 Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera-ballet “Le temple de la gloire” (to a text by Voltaire, for the victory of Fontennoy) premiered at Versailles. In 1748 Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera-ballet “Les surprises de l’Amour” premiered at Versailles. Anton Stamitz In 1750 Anton Stamitz was born in Mannheim, Germany.

Florent Schmitt and the Organ
One of Florent Schmitt’s most famous and popular compositions is his monumental choral work Psaume XLVII, Opus 38 . Composed in 1904, it is one of the most striking choral works of the 20th Century — or of any era in classical music. Music lovers who know this work know how important the organ is in Schmitt’s Psalm, which also features a soprano solo in addition to the large mixed chorus and large orchestra. I saw Psalm 47 performed at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC in 2001, where the massive pipe organ in that space filled the hall and shook the rafters. It was truly a sonic “experience.” On recordings, one can get the same sense of this in the 1973 Jean Martinon/ORTF performance on EMI, which benefits from the powerful pipe organ of the Salle Wagram in Paris. That recording features the legendary Gaston Litaize on the organ, […]

Gubisch/Castronovo/Dupuis/Lis/Montpellier Languedoc-Rusillon Opera/AltinogluThe Spanish clearly prefer their CDs packaged in book form. We've got used to having Jordi Savall's recordings on Alia Vox issued as part of glossy, heavily illustrated tomes, and now Ediciones Singulares has decided to bring its discs out in elegantly produced hardbacks the same size as a DVD box, with generous essays providing analysis and historical context alongside a full libretto and translations.The label's specialities are neglected operas and forgotten composers; it's already released works by JC Bach, Kreutzer and Sacchini, as well as a disc devoted to cantatas by Max d'Ollone. Its first 20th-century opera is one of Massenet's lesser-known later works, in a recording taken from concert performances at last year's Massenet festival in Montpellier.Thérèse was first performed in 1907 in Monte Carlo. The two short acts (the whole score lasts just 70 minutes) are set during the French revolution, in 1792 and 1793 […]
