Painting: "Alnwick Castle" by Joseph Mallord William Turner. History: The composer Friedrich von Flotow was French by all but birth: he studied composition in Paris under Reicha from 1827 to 1830, leaving Paris solely on account of the July revolution, and returning in 1835, to remain until the revolution in March, 1848, once more drove him away. During his second stay in Paris he composed the first act of a ballet, "Harriette, ou la Servante de Greenwiche", the Grand Opera and the dancer Adele Dumilatre. The reason Flotow was entrusted with only one of the three acts was the short time in which it was necessary to complete the score. The other acts were assigned, one each, to Robert Bergmüller and Edouard Deldevez. Flotow's masterpiece, "Martha", is an adaptation of this ballet. It was first performed in Vienna on 25 November 1847 to popular acclaim which is preserved to this very day. Narrative: The story of "Martha" is well-known and briefly told: two young men (predictably, a tenor, Lyonel, and a baritone, Plumkett) meet two young women, Martha (soprano) and Julia (mezzo-soprano) (who turn out to be Lady Harriet, maid of honor to the Queen, and her maid, Nancy, posing as country girls), fall in love with them, lose them, though all ends happily. Along the way there are mistaken identities, bucolic settings, crowd scenes, royal splendor and sincere, deep emotions from the principal characters. Quite possibly, one of the better operatic texts that have been created, presenting us with an unstrained plot line and sincerly humorous situations and reminding one immediatily of Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte". Music: As the famous music critic, Gustav Kobbe, once remarked that, though "Martha" has been written by a native of Mecklenburg and was first performed in Vienna, it is uncannily French in character and elegance which accounts fully for Flotow's Gallic musical education. The opera is, of course, best known for two arias, the soprano's "Letzte Rose" and the tenor's "Ach, so fromm" but these numbers form only the tip of a most warm and lively work, filled with numerous other highlights, one of which - a notturno-quartettino of the purest belcanto writing (if slightly sentimental values) - is presented in this case. The scene occurs just as the quartet of heroes part for the night and exchange tender farewells that account fully for their blossoming feelings for each other. The structure is progressively elaborated: the tenor first states the theme which is then taken up by the mezzo-soprano and the bass and then allowed to swell into a full quartettino with the addition of the soprano, taking up the high line. The piece, however, once again returns to a tenor solo before the final, hushed coda, as Lyonel whispers to Martha "perchance by the morrow you will think differently of what I have said and not treat it so lightly", reminding her of his earlier declaration of love. The accompaniment for this wonderfully glowing melody is traditional but, nonetheless, quite affecting: opening with a light string tremolo and faraway bells, suggesting the coming of the night, the piece soon settles for a classically romantic harp line, complemented with breezy lines for the strings and winds. A most luminous ensemble. Recording: The 1960 EMI recording is perhaps the most enjoyable readings of the opera that I had heard (for me, it is even better than the quite good 1969 recording from the same label). Berislav Klobucar leads the clear Berliner Symphoniker in a charming performance, and his quartet are virtually perfect, with Wunderlich a most sweet Lyonel and Rothenberger at her freshest. Lady Harriet - Anneliese Rothenberger, Nancy - Hetty Plumacher, Lyonel - Fritz Wunderlich, Plumkett - Gottlob Frick. Hope you'll enjoy :).
Flotow Riese Saint Georges Friedrich Burgmüller Édouard Deldevez Paris Opera Ballet 1844
Martha, oder Der Markt zu Richmond (Martha, or The Market at Richmond) is a romantic comic opera in four acts by Friedrich von Flotow set to a German libretto by Friedrich Wilhelm Riese and based on a story by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges. Flotow had composed the first act of a ballet, Harriette, ou la servante de Greenwiche, derived from a text by Saint-Georges, for the ballerina Adèle Dumilâtre. This was first performed by the Paris Opera Ballet at the Salle Le Peletier on 21 February 1844. The time available for the composition was short, so the second and third acts were assigned, respectively, to Friedrich Burgmüller and Édouard Deldevez. The opera Martha was an adaptation of this ballet.
