Das Fest auf Solhaug - Ibsen bei Hugo Wolf
[…] gentle sister Signe, who has been promised by the King to Knut, a brute. Knut kills Bengt. The King learns that Gudmund wasn't a villain at all and lets him marry Signe. Margit becomes a nun. Wolf's Das Fest auf Solhaug languished in negativity until the original score was edited and published by Kalmus in 1987. The first, and only, recording,released in 2006, with Helmuth Froschauer conducting the WDR Rundfunkorchester Köln,with Günther Lamprecht as speaker. He's wonderful, and acts so well with his voice that he makes the work come alive, in the tradition of German spoken theatre. There are only two solo songs, for Margit and Gudmund, the rest scored for chorus and orchestra. This "new" version of Das Fest auf Solhaug shows that it is much more than the set of three songs from the piece published in 1897. I've long loved […]

Statue of limitations
[…] still briefly captured the public’s imagination and chalked up over 500 performances in less than 50 years.

Prince kisses Frog - Rameau Platée
[…] celebrations like this, but the guests have been partaking of Bacchus, and their inhibitions relax. Cupid pops by, and the Three graces, all in underwear, as Platée begins to twig that perhaps love isn't all it's cracked up to be. When he/she spots The Frog among the guests, she greets him with a warm embrace. He hands her a bouquet of wild water lilies. Just as the wedding is about to take place, Juno (Doris Lamprecht) storms in to stop proceedings. The wedding guests drag Platée mercilessly on the ground. "Chantons, Platée, égayons nous". But Platée isn't fooled any more. Vivid exchange where she/he argues with Clitheron (Laurent Naouri) the satyr who set her up right at the beginning "Moi, Qui? Moi" "Toi, Oui, Toi" Then Platée sings, rather than imitates a croak, and jumps back into his/her pond. Medici tv is screening this Platée from the Palais Garnier […]
