Palestrina : [musikalische Legende in drei Akten] by Hans Pfitzner( )

7 editions published in 2012 in German and held by 297 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Palestrina is claimed to have 'saved the arts of counterpoint and polyphony' in the face of a Papal edict that church music must be more traditional and revert to plainsong. Palestrina produces a work that contains all the 'modern' and 'sinful' musical styles the Pope disapproves of. Upon hearing the work, the Pope and Palestrina's arch critic, Archbishop Borromeo relents

Fidelio, op. 72 by Ludwig van Beethoven( )

2 editions published in 2021 in German and held by 234 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, was based on J.N. Bouilly's Léonore, ou L'amour conjugal, a rescue drama typical of the literature of the French Revolution. The story, possibly derived from a real incident, is a convoluted one, but its celebration of courage and idealism in the face of tyranny greatly appealed to the composer's personal values. The opera took a decade to reach its final form, and even though the work of the librettists in adapting the material left much to be desired -- Joseph Sonnleithner's rather turgid original efforts of 1805-1806 were only partially redeemed by the revisions of Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1814 -- the end result, thanks to the extraordinary quality of the music, is one of the most powerful and moving operas ever written. - Disc 1 insert p. 3

Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tsar's Bride : Dmitri Tcherniakov (stage direction), Daniel Barenboim (music director) -- With Anatoli Kotscherga (Sobakin), Olga Peretyatko (Marfa), Johannes Martin Kränzle (Gryasnoi)( Visual )

1 edition published in 2013 in English and held by 65 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

(Re)discover Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tsar's Bride, a Russian operatic masterpiece long absent from Western stages and brought to life in this stunning 2013 production by the Staatskapelle Dresden, conducting legend Daniel Barenboim and stage director Dmitri Tcherniakov! Inspired by tragic events during the 16th-century reign of Ivan the Terrible, Ilia Tyumenev's gripping libretto tells the tale of Marfa Sobakina, the daughter of a rich Siberian merchant who wins a competition to become the third wife of the Tsar Ivan IV (known to history as "the Terrible"!). After triumphing over hundreds of other young women to become the Tsar's bride, Marfa was struck down by a strange illness and died just days after the wedding. Dmitri Tcherniakov's staging transports the harrowing tale to a dystopian modern world in which the media rules in a dictatorship, manipulating the populace through high tech propaganda. In this dark universe, the Tsar is a Big Brother-like concoction of the media, and the competition an inhuman reality show created to amuse the masses ... A truly brilliant production that has made waves since its premiere! Photo © Monika Rittershaus

Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg( Visual )

1 edition published in 2012 in German and held by 64 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In "a Wagner staging to treasure" (The Sunday Telegraph), the 2011 Glyndebourne Festival brings to life the legendary German composer's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Staged by David McVicar, the production features an all-star cast of leads supported by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski. Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg tells the story of the young upstart Walther von Stolzing, who enters the singing competition of Nuremberg's Mastersingers (the city's guild for poets and musicians) in order to win his beloved Eva. Written and composed entirely by Wagner himself, the opera premiered in Munich at the National Theater in 1868, and would prove to occupy a unique place in Wagner's œuvre: it is his only opera with a comedic tone, a happy ending, and a setting in a specific place and time rather than in a mythological world. It was in 2011 that Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg was first presented at the Glyndebourne Festival, featuring a beautiful staging (by David McVicar) that set the story post-Napoleonic Germany of the in early 19th century and recalled centuries of German artwork. A not-to-be-missed landmark production, revived by the same festival in 2016 to great acclaim!

James Levine leads a stirring performance of Wagner's epic comedy, seen in Otto Schenk's classic production. Baritone Michael Volle stars as Hans Sachs, the cobbler-poet at the heart of this story of love, art, and youth vs. age. Leading Wagnerian tenor Johan Botha is Walther von Stolzing, the young knight whose new ideas upset the traditional ways of the mastersingers, and Annette Dasch sings Eva, the girl he loves, whose hand has been promised to the winner of a singing contest. Johannes Martin Kränzle as the pedantic town clerk Beckmesser, Hans-Peter König as Pogner, Eva's father, and Paul Appleby as David, Sachs's apprentice complete the stellar cast
