Some Voices That Might Carry for a While


By ANNE MIDGETTE
Published: December 23, 2007
OPERA lovers, myself included, are fond of wringing their hands about the failings of the present generation of singers compared with the great voices of the past. But in 2007, even as we furrow our brows about opera’s increased focus on the visual at the expense of the vocal, a number of artists offered evidence that the pendulum may be swinging back far enough that more singers understand the part about artistry, and are developing it.

Welcome to the Cecilia Bartoli/Maria Malibran roadshow – the exhibition, the album, the concerts. It's no surprise that Bartoli identifies so closely with Malibran, the 19th-century Spanish operatic superstar whose memorabilia she has been collecting so avidly for many years now. Bartoli is a kind of Malibran.

MAHLER POR LAURO MACHADO COELHO

Bruno Walter, Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler; mais tarde Herbert von Karajan e sir Georg Solti – esses são os nomes que ocorrem, entre os grandes maestros que, desde a virada dos anos 50-60, se empenharam na missão de fazer descobrir e assimilar o legado sinfônico de Gustav Mahler.Porém, para o processo de revelação desse compositor – fundamental para o desenvolvimento da sinfonia pós-romântica; elo essencial entre o século XIX e a modernidade – uma das contribuições mais significativas é a de Leonard Bernstein, figura singular de maestro, compositor, ensaísta, pedagogo, animador cultural. Testemunho do gênio desse grande artista americano, e de sua afinidade instintiva com o universo sinfônico mahleriano, é a monumental Bernstein/Mahler: The Symphonies and Das Lied von der Erde, caixa com nove DVDs, lançada pela Deutsche Grammophon, que acaba de chegar às nossas lojas. A coleção reúne as gravações ao vivo das nove sinfonias e do Canto da Terra, feitas, entre 1972-76, para a Unitel, com a Filarmônica de Viena, a Sinfônica de Londres e a Filarmônica de Israel. Coroam esse ciclo extraordinário, três documentários dirigidos por Humphrey Burton e Tony Palmer, contendo ensaios da Quinta e da Nona com a Filarmônica de Viena, e do Canto da Terra com a Filarmônica de Israel, e os solistas Christa Ludwig e René Kollo. Data fundamental para a história da redescoberta de Mahler foi 7 de fevereiro de 1960. É o dia do concerto-conferência “Quem é Gustav Mahler?”, que o jovem Bernstein regeu com a Filarmônica de Nova York, dentro da série didática Young People’s Concert, transmitida pelo rádio para todo país. Esse programa, que é um marco no despertar da atenção do público americano para esse grande mestre, coincidiu com a comemoração do centenário da Filarmônica, entre janeiro e abril de 1960. Dentro da retrospectiva do repertório da orquestra, que Bernstein, Dmitri Mitropoulos e Bruno Walter estavam organizando, a obra de Mahler teve papel de destaque. As gravações de Mahler que Bernstein fez, nessa fase, com a PhNY, revelam-no como um intérprete extremamente individual dessa música, muito diferente dos veteranos Walter ou Klemperer. Não só pelo seu virtuosismo instrumental (“cada um dos músicos, até mesmo a última estante dos segundos violinos, tem de ser um solista muito hábil para tocar Mahler”, diz ele no filme de Burton)— um virtuosismo polêmico, para alguns mahlerianos mais ortodoxos, devido a seus extremos de andamento e dinâmica. Mas que é sempre fascinante, pelos achados que ele propõe, pela identificação que evidencia, em níveis muito profundos, com o universo do compositor. Isso está claro desde a sua primeira gravação da Sinfonia nº 1, em que a idealização da natureza, a ingenuidade das sonoridades infantis, a onipresença da morte, a transcendência da salvação são elementos com que ele sabe trabalhar, de forma a equilibrar construção e liberdade, poesia intensa e rigor. O que a série filmada da década de 70 mostra também, se comparada tanto às primeiras gravações de estúdio dos anos 60 quanto às versões ao vivo, da década de 80, com a Concertgebouw de Amsterdam, é que o Mahler de Bernstein amadureceu constantemente, ganhou em refinamento, profundidade de reflexão, maestria no controle das expansões emocionais, e coesão formal. Ouçam e vejam a extraordinária Titã de outubro de 1974, no Wiener Konzerthaus, pórtico ao monumento que é a sua integral mahleriana. Já aí Bernstein deixa clara a sua identificação – até mesmo física, gestual, pois ele faz música com o corpo todo – com determinados elementos que, de uma maneira ou de outra, vão percorrer toda a obra sinfônica do compositor: os sussurros da natureza, no início do primeiro movimento; a ameaça da morte, na marcha fúnebre grotescamente deformada pelo contraponto do cânon infantil Frère Jacques, no terceiro movimento; as trombetas apocalípticas que, no último movimento – um dos mais eletrizantes de toda a discografia mahleriana – conduzem triunfalmente, após a morte, à salvação, simbolizada pela citação dos temas do Santo Graal, no Parsifal, de Wagner, e o do “Aleluia”, no Messias, de Haendel. Observem, ao longo da experiência absorvente de assistir, um a um, a esses concertos, como esses temas são retomados e desenvolvidos. Na nº 2, a Ressurreição, uma das mais belas realizações da série, filmada dentro da catedral de Ely, em Edimburgo, uma leitura a que Janet Baker e Sheila Armstrong dão um brilho vocal incomparável. Na intensa espiritualidade da nº 3, que encontra em Christa Ludwig uma de suas maiores intérpretes. Ou na inocência e juventude da nº 4, cuja “Felicidade no Céu” a soprano Edith Mathis realiza com extraordinário frescor. A tragédia crescente da nº 5 e da nº 6; os contrastes de colorido e os bem controlados arroubos românticos da nº 7, em que a visão pouco convencional de Bernstein é particularmente convincente; as explosões de entusiasmo e os grandes gestos retóricos do Veni Creator Spiritus, na primeira parte da nº 8 dos Mil, contraposta à concentração mística da segunda, sobre a cena final do Fausto – é difícil dizer o que mais impressiona nesse lento mergulho nos recessos mahlerianos. A que um encerramento de tirar o fôlego é trazido pela leitura da Nona, tensa, enfatizando de forma particular a vertente violenta do Rondó-Burleske, mas com um adágio final carregado de profunda humanidade. Mas o disco mais fascinante, por nos revelar, de corpo inteiro, o homem e a sua relação íntima com a música, é o último: Mahler Rehearsals. São, como foi dito, três iluminadores documentários, rodados por Humphrey Burton e Tony Palmer, ao longo dos cinco anos que durou o projeto de filmagem da integral: Leonard Bernstein Ensaia Gustav Mahler, com trechos da preparação da Quinta e da Nona; Quatro Maneiras de Dizer Adeus, em que Bernstein, ao mesmo tempo que ensaia, analisa os significados mais profundos da última sinfonia; e A Canção da Terra: uma Introdução Pessoal.Esses três filmes desmontam a máquina do concerto, para mostrar suas engrenagens internas, o processo apaixonante de tirar a orquestra do chão e fazê-la voar. Vemos, neles, o regente persuasivo, que leva uma a princípio relutante Filarmônica de Viena a entender, e aceitar com entusiasmo, o que ele pretende com seus tempos não-convencionais. O artista de senso teatral inegável em cada um de seus gestos, que desenham a música no ar; e cujo envolvimento físico e espiritual com ela é de tal ordem que, no final do adagio da Nona, ele está literalmente destroçado, possuído pela devastadora emoção dessa despedida à vida. O ensaiador que enfrenta as objeções de uma grande solista – a meio-soprano Christa Ludwig –, quando ela lhe diz que não consegue cantar um dos lieder do Canto da Terra na velocidade que ele deseja, dizendo-lhe, candidamente: “Mas, nesta passagem, ninguém entende mesmo o texto”. Temos, principalmente, um encontro cara a cara com Lennie Bernstein, o grande conferencista, que – envolto em nuvens de fumaça dos cigarros responsáveis pelo enfisema de que ele morreu, em outubro de 1990 –, diante de uma câmara imóvel, guia-nos pelos meandros simbólicos da originalíssima sinfonia-ciclo de canções que é o Canto da Terra, modelo, no futuro, para obras tão diversas quanto a Sinfonia Lírica, de Zemlinsky, ou a Sinfonia nº 14, de Shostakóvitch.A última série de sinfonias de Mahler, revisitadas por Bernstein na década de 80, na fase final de sua carreira, mostra-nos o universo mahleriano assimilado por completo, de forma muito profunda. Mas num certo sentido – e não apenas porque aqui temos a imagem, podemos ouvi-lo, mas também vê-lo, de perto, como se estivéssemos sentados diante do pódio e fizéssemos parte da orquestra –, esta série intermediária, da década de 70, nos traz uma experiência insubstituível.Porque ela ainda preserva muito da irresistível e frenética energia do regente jovem que, em seus primeiros contatos com Mahler, não hesitava em ser iconoclasta. Mas porque, agora, esse vigor já está domado pela maturidade da vivência de um homem que, por trás da explosão dionisíaca, percebeu e incorporou o rigor olímpico da estrutura – aquele dualismo permanente de que ele mesmo fala, nas suas análises da música de Mahler.Um equilíbrio, uma mistura exata de inteligência e emoção, que justifica as palavras de Christa Ludwig, referindo-se à gravação que fez com ele do Canto da Terra: “Cantei essa peça com Solti, Klemperer e Karajan, e foram sempre interpretações memoráveis. Mas só com Bernstein essa música me fez derramar lágrimas”.

De Richard Strauss, uma parceria com Manaus: "Ariadne em Naxos". Os cantores? Os mesmos de sempre.
Ainda, "Le Villi", de Puccini, "Sansão e Dalila", e "Amelia al Ballo", de Menotti.
Continuamos com a reserva de mercado para os nossos cantores.
Nada contra, temos excelentes profissionais, porém já é mais do que hora de oxigenar um pouco. Por que não fazer pelo menos duas óperas com cantores de fora de algum renome?
Mesmo em relação aos nomes nacionais são sempre os mesmos. Os que estãso de fora não conseguem espaço.
E que me desculpem os defensores. Que programação: "Le Villi", "Colombo", porque não outra de Carlos Gomes há muito não encenada ?

'Queen of Spades': Kirov Plays Almost All the Right Cards
By Joe BannoSpecial to The Washington Post Saturday, December 8, 2007; Page C08
There was a moment early on at Thursday's performance of Tchaikovsky's "The Queen of Spades," in the Kirov Opera's production at the Kennedy Center Opera House, that established the company's unmatchable command of this work. It's the point at the end of the first scene when the soldier Gherman vows to wrest a betting secret from the formidable old Countess so he can make his fortune at the gaming tables. By story's end, his gambling addiction will trump his love for the Countess's granddaughter, Lisa, and destroy all three of them. As Gherman makes his vow, Tchaikovsky stirs up a sudden and violent electrical storm, onstage and in the orchestra. Nature has heard his words -- and isn't happy.

BILLY BUDD



Barbican, London

Tim Ashley

Monday December 10, 2007

The Guardian
The Barbican's concert performances of Billy Budd form the opening of Homeward Bound, a two-season showcase for tenor Ian Bostridge's talents. They allow him to add Captain Vere to his growing, if controversial, list of Britten portraits. Some might question whether the role suits him. As always, Bostridge's intelligence is admirable. He is entirely credible when conveying the intellectualism of a man who ruminates over Plutarch in the middle of a war and subjects his own actions to analytical scrutiny. Yet neither his voice nor his presence are commanding enough to delineate the rule-bound man of action, and his characterisation is as yet incomplete.

Covent Garden, London WC2, to 21 Dec
Not content with mounting four complete cycles of Wagner's Ring marathon this autumn, the Royal Opera has chosen to end the year with his last, almost as complex work, Parsifal. Next week sees the arrival at Covent Garden of more seasonal fare in the shape of Rossini's version of Cinderella, La Cenerentola. But the management seems determined to make us earn

ISSO ACONTECE....

Classical: Tom Service Friday December 7, 2007
The Guardian

One concert above all stood out in 2007: Claudio Abbado's performances of Mahler's Third Symphony at the Lucerne festival and the Proms. From where I was sitting in the Albert Hall that night in August, I could watch Abbado's eyes and hands coax the music from the matchless players of his Lucerne Festival Orchestra. The whole experience, from the Promethean opening movement to the outpouring of love and song in the finale, was etched on his features, and every nuance was communicated to the audience by the players. Music-making like this is life-changing, revelatory; it's something you're lucky ever to experience.

MAGDALENA KOZENA

'I see a lot of sad stories''I see a lot of sad stories' Virtuoso she may be, but for Magdalena Kožená, singing is more about intensity and expression than perfect technique. Tom Service meets her Friday December 7, 2007
The Guardian
Magdalena Kožená wants to set the record straight. She's in London to make her belated debut at the Royal Opera House in Rossini's Cinderella, one of the most scintillating bel canto roles in the mezzo-soprano repertoire. She's gone on record recently suggesting that Rossini isn't high on her list of favourite composers, and even that his writing is dramatically one-dimensional and uninteresting. She tells me instead - just after she's finished rehearsals for the day and put her two-and-a-half-year-old, Jonas, to bed - that "it's true that I don't find in Rossini deep emotions, like for example, in Handel, but there is a different kind of joy of making music in it. It's extremely happy music, music which puts you in a good mood. It's very sparkling music, and you have to sing very fast, a lot of words. If you get it right, it's an achievement. It's a kind of pure pleasure of vocality and brilliance."

A NOVA NORWEGIAN OPERA HOUSE



Opera star wins her place

Kirsten Flagstad has adorned Norway's 100-kroner notes in recent years. Now her name will be the address of Oslo's new Opera House.

"RIGOLETTO" EM RIBEIRÃO PRETO



DIAS dias 18 e 20, no Pedro II, em Ribeirão Preto.

A Fundação Pedro II produz Rigoletto, obra mais famosa de Giuseppe Verdi. Fundação Pedro II produz Rigoletto, obra mais famosa de Giuseppe Verdi.É a primeira vez que teatro sedia um espetáculo desta importância ao reunir talentos brasileiros de reconhecimento internacional.
Uma das maiores óperas de todos os tempos começa a ser produzida em Ribeirão Preto. Rigoletto, obra que expõe dramas humanos é a tônica deste enredo dramático e lírico do italiano Giuseppe Verdi e será totalmente produzido pela Fundação Pedro II e, sobre várias aspectos, tem caráter inédito, pois seus ensaios, cenários, iluminação, serralheira e ferragens, cenários, por exemplo, vão acontecer nas dependências do Pedro II, que fecha nos próximos dias por conta destes trabalhos.
A direção musical é do maestro Cláudio Cruz, que estará à frente da Orquestra Sinfônica. A produção geral é de Mariana Jábali, que também responde pela presidência da Fundação Pedro II.
Trata-se da primeira montagem desta importância após um incêndio que quase consumiu o Pedro II nos anos 80. Ambientada no século XVI e baseada na obra LXVI e baseada na obra Lê Roi Samuse, de Victor Hugo, a peça retrata as injustiças sociais e as desonras da aristocracia. Dividido em três atos, a ópera teve sua estréia mundial em, 11 de março de 1851, no Teatro La Fanice, Veneza.Inicialmente, Verdi deu à composição, o nome de La Maledizione, mais tarde mudou para Rigoletto. O público reconhecerá na obra mais famosa do compositor italiano, uma densidade humana e musical inédita no Pedro II, evidenciando uma a luta de uma pai para proteger a filha, acabando por resultar numa tragédia. Verdi, (1813-1901), expressa ainda todo seu ideário humanista e defensor de uma itália nacionalista, o que o fez lutar ao lado de Garibaldi.
