Antonio Lucio Vivaldi Philippe Jaroussky Carolsfeld Fresco Jean Christophe Spinosi Johann Sebastian Bach Maria Chiara Ensemble Matheus 1678 1741 1794 1822 1872
Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld +••.••(...)), Orlando Furioso (detail) +••.••(...)), fresco, Casa Massimo, Rome Jean-Christophe Spinosi, Ensemble Matheus Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741) was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric. Born in Venice, he is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe. Vivaldi was only 25 when he started working at the Ospedale della Pietà. Over the next thirty years he composed most of his major works while working there. Vivaldi wrote more than 500 other concertos. About 350 of these are for solo instrument and strings, of which 230 are for violin, the others being for bassoon,cello, oboe, flute, viola d'amore, recorder, lute, or mandolin. About forty concertos are for two instruments and strings and about thirty are for three or more instruments and strings. As well as about 46 operas, Vivaldi composed a large body of sacred choral music. Other works include sinfonias, about 90 sonatas and chamber music. Vivaldi’s legacy included great advancements in violin technique, the establishment of the three movement concerto forms, and a number of other innovations for sonatas and concertos. But, perhaps, the freedom to be bold and original in composition was his greatest gift to later generations of musicians. Vivaldi's influence on the development of Baroque music was immense. He ignited transformations in music for the church, the opera house and the concert hall. Vivaldi's innovation of the concerto influenced the music of the Baroque Period; by both incorporating the light, airy, playful, exuberant, and flamboyant style he was known for, and looking for harmonic contrasts and innovative melodies and themes, he brightened the formal and rhythmic structure of the concerto. Vivaldi's music will likely continue to influence musicians and composers alike, and this longevity of influence makes Antonio Lucio Vivaldi historically significant. Johann Sebastian Bach was deeply influenced by Vivaldi's concertos and arias (recalled in his St John Passion, St Matthew Passion, and cantatas). Bach transcribed six of Vivaldi's concerti for solo keyboard, three for organ, and one for four harpsichords, strings, and basso continuo (BWV 1065) based upon the concerto for four violins, two violas, cello, and basso continuo (RV 580). In the 18th century, travelers came from all over Europe to hear Anna Maria and Chiara perform in Venice. They were two of Antonio Vivaldi’s greatest students. Vivaldi experienced a lot of financial difficulties, sold his compositions for pennies and emigrated to Vienna, Austria, where he was promised a job by the Emperor. The emperor died while Vivaldi was on his way. The composer was left without any means or protection. He died a poor man a few months later on July 28th, 1741 at the age of 63. He died of an internal disease he nicknamed Internal Fire. His death occurred shortly after moving to Vienna, Italy. He received a modest burial. Now Vivaldi is the most performed Baroque composer rivaled only by J.S. Bach. We will always remember Antonio Vivaldi, the legacy that he bestowed upon all of us, and the works of art that he has left for us to treasure until the end of time.

Recorded in Bayreuth in 1928 by Norwegian tenor Gunnar Graarud (1886–1960) as Tristan, Swedish soprano Nanny Larsen-Todsen (1884–1982) as Isolde, Austrian soprano Anny Helm (1903–1993) as Brangäne, and German baritone Rudolf Bockelmann (1892–1958) as Kurvenal, Tristan's manservant. In Richard Wagner's opera 'Tristan und Isolde', Isolde and her handmaid Brangäne are quartered aboard Tristan's ship being transported to the king's lands in Cornwall. Isolde is promised to King Marke in marriage, and Tristan is the knight responsible for taking her to the king. Isolde, having previously saved Tristan's life but later discovering that he had killed her fiancé, insists that he drink atonement to her for his betrayal of her. However, Brangäne replaces the poison Isolde intended for Tristan with a love potion. In Act I, Scene 5 of the opera, Tristan and Isolde each drink the potion, but instead of death, it brings passionate love at the time of the imminent arrival of King Marke.

THIS IS THE SUCCESSOR CHANNEL TO "liederoperagreats" WHICH WAS RECENTLY TERMINATED. Gwyneth Jones--soprano Argeo Quadri--conductor Wiener Opernorchester 1966 / "Born: November 7, 1936 - Pontnewynydd, Wales, UK The Welsh soprano (and mezzo-soprano), Gwyneth Jones, studied music at the Royal College of Music, London, the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena as well as the International Opera Studio in Zürich. Gwyneth Jones came to prominence in 1964 when she stood in for Leontyne Price as Leonora in Verdi's Il trovatore at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Her career then developed rapidly, and she met with success as Aïda, Leonore in Fidelio, Desdemona in Otello, Elisabeth in Don Carlos, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Cio-cio-san in Madama Butterfly, Lady Macbeth in Verdi's Macbeth, Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana, Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, Médée in the Italian version and Tosca. From these, she gradually proceeded to heavier roles like Minnie in La fanciulla del West, Chrysothemis in Elektra, Salome, the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier, Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Senta in Der fliegende Holländer, Kundry in Parsifal, both Venus and Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, Helena in Strauss's Die ägyptische Helena, Ariadne in Ariadne auf Naxos and Sieglinde in Die Walküre. She has appeared frequently at almost every major opera house in the world, including the Wiener Staatsoper, the Zörich Opera, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London, the Metropolitan Opera of New York, the Bayerische Staatsoper, the San Francisco Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Paris Opéra, and many others. Gwyneth Jones' large-scaled, powerful dramatic soprano voice, unusually robust vocal stamina, stage presence and acting abilities were widely admired, although she also faced criticism for the wobble that her voice developed in the 1970’s and which afflicted some of her performances. Nonetheless, she could still be remarkably secure and tonally rock steady beyond the age of 60. One of her most noted achievements was her interpretation of Brünnhilde in the Bayreuth centennial production of Der Ring des Nibelungen under Pierre Boulez and directed by Patrice Chéreau, a performance preserved on both video and audio discs. The recording won a Grammy in 1983. Gwyneth Jones made roles that exemplify the Wagnerian/heavy dramatic soprano fach, such as Brünnhilde, Isolde, Elektra, the Dyer's Wife and Turandot, part of her core repertoire, and performed them throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. She once famously undertook the roles of both Elisabeth and Venus in Götz Friedrich's production of Tannhäuser at the Bayreuth Festival in the 1970’s, and has also been credited with the unique achievement of having performed all three major female roles in Elektra on stage. Gwyneth Jones also performed in concerts and Lieder recitals, television and radio broadcasts and participated in several film projects, including the epic television series, Wagner, in which she played the first Isolde, Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld. She has also devised for herself a couple of one-woman music-theatrical shows - O, Malvina! and Die Frau im Schatten - which are inspired by real historical characters, namely, Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld and Pauline de Ahna (wife of Richard Strauss). The soprano part in the Symphony No. 9, titled "Vision of Eternity", of Welsh composer Alun Hoddinott was written for, and premiered by, her. In June 2007, she created the role of the Queen of Hearts in the world premiere of Unsuk Chin's new opera, Alice in Wonderland, at the Bavarian State Opera. In February 2008 she sang the part of Herodias in Stephen Langridge's production of Richard Strauss' Salome at Malmö Opera in Sweden. She repeated this role in August 2010, alongside the Salome of Deborah Voigt, in a concert performance at the Verbier Festival in Verbier, Switzerland. Gwyneth Jones was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 1976 and was promoted to Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1986. She is also the recipient of numerous musical/cultural awards and honours from many different countries and organisations, including the Verdienstkreuz 1. Klasse of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Golden Medal of Honour in Vienna, the Austrian Cross of Honour First Class, the Shakespeare Prize and the Puccini Award. She is a Kammersängerin at both the Wiener Staatsoper and the Bavarian State Opera and she has been made a Commandeur de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France. She has also been conferred honorary doctorates by the University of Wales and the University of Glamorgan. She is currently the President of the Wagner Society of Great Britain. She has a daughter, Susannah Haberfeld, who is a mezzo-soprano."; Bach-cantatas.com
