Skipping the Groove: The Long-Lost Art of the Complete Opera Album (Part Two) — Living the Life Operatic
[…] The Ring Resounding, Culshaw described the difficulties the company had with the artist scheduled to undertake the part of Siegfried. You will notice that there is a four-year gap between the release of Rheingold and Siegfried (why they did not record the next opera in the series, Die Walküre, remains a mystery). Georg Solti (left) & producer John Culshaw recording Wagner’s Ring One of the reasons for the long delay was caused by Ernst Kozub, the unmentioned tenor assigned to sing Siegfried and who had captured everyone’s attention with his stirring voice. Culshaw insisted that Kozub had the raw equipment that would turn him into a star of the first magnitude, if only he had more in-depth study and dug into the text with added insight. But no matter how they tried to coach him, Kozub resisted; worse, he became incapable of delivering the goods needed to bring the […]

A free soul
For the second part of its preview of Caramoor’s upcoming Fidelio, “Trove Thursday” presents Beethoven’s initial 1805 version, now called Leonore, in an Italian Radio broadcast done for the composer’s bicentennial conducted by Erich Leinsdorf and featuring Claire Watson and Ernst Kozub. Like a number of American singers of her generation, New York City-born Watson made her career almost entirely in Europe where she was one of the most important Mozart-Wagner-R. Strauss sopranos of the 50s and 60s. She never sang at the Met and appeared in just one role in San Francisco—in 1966 as Elisabetta in Don Carlo (opposite Marilyn Horne and Jon Vickers)—and a single engagement—as Donna Anna in 1969—at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. However, JJ saw her several times with the New Orleans Opera late in her career. Probably her best known American performance is her radiant Ariadne with Leinsdorf conducting the Boston Symphony in the […]

Der Freischütz - archaeology of filmed opera
[…] at atmospheric drama. Since the Wolf's Glen scene is so vividly filmed, there's a good match between music and visuals. These films were based on regular stage productions, so reflect what Hamburg Opera was doing in 1968, so performances are varied, pretty much like in any functioning opera house. Standards were high though, because in Germany they take opera, and Der Freischütz seriously. Voices from the past, like Gottlob Frick (Kaspar), Tom Krause, Ernst Kozub. Watch for Franz Grundheber, later a great Wozzeck for Abbado, in the tiny role of Kilian, which he makes big. Above all, watch for and listenn to Edith Mathis, then aged 30, as Ännchen. Arlene Saunders sings beautifully but Mathis lights up the screen completely and steals the show. You can almost hear what Sauders is thinking. Mathis always sounded gorgeously fresh and youthful, even when she reached her 60's. Here she […]
