Download or read book The Crisis of the Opera A Study of Musical Hermeneutics written by Ion Piso and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study in artistic hermeneutics contains objections and critiques that have been generated by the contemporary cultural scenery of musical interpretation, especially related to the opera performances. Nevertheless, as the reader will surely notice, such critique can be very well applied to the entire spectrum of contemporary culture, as the phenomena described here are ubiquitous. Ion Piso’s ‘alarm signal’-study is essential reading, particularly as it comes from somebody who has over half a century’s experience of being an artist-interpreter in world opera. As such, Piso is well-placed to offer such a critique, and thus fulfil Goethe’s challenging desideratum: “You can only judge fairly what you, yourself, are able to accomplish”; as the following quotations fully illustrate: “J. Piso was the new duke [...] He incarnates all the virtues that an interpreter must have for this role, and which are seldom met with in one person. These are the reasons why the duke of Mantova has become a role for which they are looking for specialized tenors. Piso is both young and lean, elegant and full of temperament, a very credible and conquering playboy [...] La donna e mobile has the qualities of Gigli, and his legato sounds always seductive. Furthermore, who else brings together these days, the finesse of the belcanto with such a prodigality of brilliant high-notes?” – K. Honolka, Stuttgart, April 1964 “[Piso in Werther, was the highlight of the season as] he represents the true Romantic style – which is the mode in which this role should be interpreted, what more can be said...” – A. J. Potter, Opera, London, February 1968 “The virtuosity of Piso’s technique produces a special pleasure to the listener, especially by the manner in which the most powerful forte comes to fade away in the most delicate piano. Through a rich variety of expressive tools, he was able to reveal the contents of the Lieds by interpreting them with an excellent diction technique.” – Potsdamer Blick, March 17, 1966 “Piso is the embodiment of the multilateral tenor, who has become today almost obsolete, due to the melodious charm of his voice, to his sensitivity, and to the homogeneity of his voice in all registers, even in the most ‘exposed’ passages.” – Die Union, Dresden, March 4, 1966

Download or read book The Opera Stage of Sarah Caldwell written by Kristina Bendikas and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Caldwell, the leader of the Opera Company of Boston from 1958-1990, was a groundbreaking and idiosyncratic woman who established her own career as a conductor and stage director in an environment resistant to change. This book investigates her choices as an opera director, her influences, her philosophies, and her methods, and situates her work within the history of opera in America. Though she is remembered primarily as a conductor, her passion, and her greater influence on American opera, was through stage directing. With a repertoire that included ground-breaking interpretations of works such as Nono's Intolleranza 1960, Prokofiev's War and Peace, and Bernstein's Mass, Caldwell continually pushed her own artistic limits, provoked critics, intrigued audiences, and challenged the status quo of opera production. Her passion for opera, her creative use of new technology and her influence in bringing opera to all sectors of American society, culminated in 1997 when she was awarded the National Medal of Arts for her work as a pioneering woman in the American musical landscape, and a tireless and innovative arts entrepreneur.
