From Cantabile-Subito Louise Kirkby Lunn "She was born in Manchester and studied with J.H. Greenwood, afterwards with Alberto Antonio Visetti in London. Further studies with the renowned Jacques Bouhy in Paris (Louise Homer was also a student of him). She made her early debut as Margaretha in Schumann’s Genoveva at the Drury Lane Theatre in London. Later she appeared in Délibes’ Le Roi l’a dit (!). She considered her real debut as Nora in Charles Standford’s opera Shamus O’Brien. She also sang at the Harris Opera Theatre and at the Carl Rosa Opera Company. From the very beginning she loved to sing on the concert platform. After her marriage in 1899 she had planned to terminate her career, but in 1901 she continued singing and signed a contract with Covent Garden. She was an important member at this famous opera house until 1914 (and again in the season 1921/22). She participated in some first opera performances: Massenet’s Hérodiade, Saint-Saëns’ Hélène and Gluck’s Armide. In 1902 she was invited to the Metropolitan where she debuted as Ortrud. Within the next two years she also sang Brangäne and Amneris. She toured America in 1904 where she was heard as Kundry (first performances of the opera in English) and this role was one of her greatest achievements. She created the role of Dalila in Saint-Saëns’ opera Samson et Dalila in the first English performance at Covent Garden. Despite her great success on stage she made many concert appearances and she became even more popular on the concert platform than in opera. She became THE great British oratorio contralto besides Dame Clara Butt. She was not only heard at the festivals of Birmingham, Sheffield and Norwich but also toured widely (USA, Australia and New Zealand). Her last opera appearance (as Amneris) took place in 1922 at Covent Garden. She continued to give concerts and recitals. At the end of her career she became a renowned singing coach." “A singer with a glorious voice and an even tone throughout a compass of well over two octaves, a singer with whom I never found fault in so much as a quaver all the years I worked with her, and who never sang out of tune. Her Brangäne at Covent Garden, her fine acting and singing as Kundry in America, and a marvellous rendering of Isolde’s Liebestod ... are among my most cherished memories of her” Sir Henry Wood, conductor
Francesco Manara Andrea Bacchetti Santi O Brien 2022
G. F. Händel - Sonata in Re maggiore Op. 1 No. 4 HWV 371 Adagio | Allegro | Larghetto | Allegro Domenica 1 Maggio 2022 Tre! Duo Manara – Bacchetti Francesco Manara, violino Andrea Bacchetti, pianoforte Il programma, che abbraccia circa tre secoli di storia, punta a ripercorrere in chiave antologica alcuni dei punti salienti della musica d’arte occidentale. La scelta dei brani è organizzata sulla base di una stretta relazione di intervalli di terza tra le varie tonalità; una scelta dettata dal numero tre, dunque, che già la Scuola Pitagorica considerava perfetto, in quanto sintesi assoluta del pari e del dispari, e che sarebbe stato più avanti al centro di tutta la simbologia sacra legata al cristianesimo e della logica costruttiva di alcune tra le pagine più autorevoli della storia musicale. La luminosità sprigionata dalla Sonata di Händel è capace di trasmettere, sin dal primo ascolto, il grande equilibrio di forma e contenuto che si articola tra i vari movimenti, con un carattere che alterna elementi di gioia estrema e struggente intimità.
