PABLO ELVIRA, HILDA RAMOS &JUSTINO DIAZ: "PAGLIACCI DUET"
PABLO ELVIRA &HILDA RAMOS SING SILVIO-NEDDA DUET, FROM LEONCAVALLO'S "I PAGLIACCI". JUSTINO DIAZ IS TONIO AT THE END OF THE SCENE.PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (CENTRO DE BELLAS ARTES) SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICOPablo Elvira, 1937-2000Born on Sept. 24, 1937. A gifted musician, native of San Juan, Puerto Rico and the son of a dance orchestra leader, Elvira began his musical career playing jazz trumpet (after playing piano, alto sax and bass fiddle!) with his father's group and later formed his own orchestra. A meeting with the famous cellist, composer and conductor Pablo Casals led to his pursuing a career as an opera singer. In 1960 Casals finished work on a biblical oratorio for world peace, ''El Pesebre,'' one of the cellist's small body of compositions. Needing five soloists for a recording and tour of the work, Casals heard Mr. Elvira audition and asked him to sing the baritone part. One of Mr. Elvira's most memorable performances of ''El Pesebre'' came in 1969, when Casals, by then 92, conducted it in Jerusalem before an audience of 3,000. In 1966, he participated in the Metropolitan Opera Auditions in New York and was selected by the Dean of the Indiana University School of Music to join their voice faculty. He remained there for eight years and performed leading baritone roles in the opera school's productions. Elvíra maintained his primary residence in Bozeman, Montana, and he became known as a strong supporter of opera in that state. After a year spent performing in Europe, he returned briefly to Indiana before moving to New York and debuting with New York City's Metropolitan Opera in 1978, becoming one of the leading baritones and performed there over 100 times during the next 12 years. In 1974, he made his first appearance with the New York City Opera. He performed with such opera greats as Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills, Renata Scotto, Roberta Peters, Marilyn Horne, Cecilia Bartoli, Carlo Bergonzi, Justino Diaz, Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo, who stated Elvira was "By far the greatest baritone in the world." During his career, Elvira sang in France, Germany, South America, Australia, Puerto Rico, Israel and throughout the United States. Among others, he received honors and distinctions like the "Israel Medal", Honor Awards by the US Government, Honors in New York from Governor Mario Cuomo and Mayor Ed Koch. He was the first baritone singing in the opening of the Michigan Opera Theater, as well as the openings of Chang Kai Shek Memorial Theater in Taiwan and the Melbourne Australia Performing Arts Center. In 1967-68 he sang in the world --premiere of Jerome Hines' opera "I am the Way", first in Indianapolis and reprising it at the MET. In 1972 he sang the title role in the world premiere of John Eaton's opera ''Heracles,'' which inaugurated Indiana University's 1,460-seat Musical Arts Center.Among his vast repertoire, his signature role was Figaro in Rossini's"Il Barbiere di Siviglia" (The Barber of Seville) and critics and colleagues alike crowned him "The best Figaro" of his generation. His musicality, solid technique, breathing control (which he developed by many years of trumpet playing) and seamless legato; along with his great acting skills, sets him apart and creates a real admiration from his colleagues, as Jerome Hines documented in his book "Great Singers on Great Singing". Pablo Elvira died in 2000 at 62. The musician, artist, singer and above all great human being is greatly missed. Some commercial recordings are proof of his art, and other private sources too:Commercial discography:*Montemezzi: L'amore dei tre re (Moffo, Domingo; Santi, 1976) RCA *Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana (Scotto, Domingo; Levine, 1978) RCA *Donizetti: La Favorita (Alfredo Kraus, Shirley Verrett, James Morris; Eve Queler, NY City Opera, 1975) GALA Records [live]Commercial philmography:*Puccini: Manon Lescaut (Scotto, Domingo; Levine, Menotti, 1980) [live] *Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor (Sutherland, Kraus, Plishka; Bonynge, Donnell, 1982) [live] Books:*Great Singers on Great Singing: Opera Star Jerome Hines Interviews 40 Famous Opera Singers on the Technique of Singing, by Jerome Hines [ More Detail ]

The St. Lawrence String Quartet Dvorak Op 106 (excerpts)
Geoff Nuttall, violinScott St. John , violinLesley Robertson, violaChristopher Costanza, celloHaving walked on stage together over 1800 times in the past eighteen years the St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) has established itself among the world-class chamber ensembles of its generation. In 1992, they won both the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists International Auditions, launching them on a performing career that has brought them across North and South America, Europe and Asia.The long awaited initial recording of the St. Lawrence Quartet, Schumann's First and Third Quartets, was released in May 1999 to great critical acclaim. The CD received the coveted German critics award, the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, as well as Canada's annual Juno Award. BBC Music Magazine gave the recording its "highest rating," calling it the benchmark recording of the works. In October of 2001, EMI released their recording of string quartets of Tchaikovsky. In 2002 their recording Yiddishbbuk featuring the chamber music of the celebrated Argentinean-American composer Osvaldo Golijov received two Grammy nominations. Their most recent recording of Shostakovich Quartets was released in July, 2006.The Quartet performs over 100 concerts worldwide. Highlights of the 2007/08 season include their popular series Sunday's with the St. Lawrence for Stanford Lively Arts, concerts in New York (Lincoln Center), Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Tucson, Phoenix, Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, Denver, Buffalo, New Orleans, and Albuquerque. They will also make two tours to Europe.Their summer calendar features their 13th year as Resident Quartet to the Spoleto USA Festival in Charleston, SC. Other recent summer festival appearances include Mostly Mozart in New York, Maverick Concerts, Bay Chamber Concerts (Maine), and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival.The SLSQ has been involved in numerous inventive collaborations, including projects with the renowned Pilobolus Dance Theatre, and the Emerson Quartet. In 2007 they joined with Soprano Heidi Grant Murphy and pianist Kevin Murphy to premiere Roberto Sierra's "Songs from the Diaspora" -- a commission through the Music Accord consortium. They have also performed R. Murray Shafer's concerto for quartet and orchestra "4-40" with Peter Oundjian and the Toronto Symphony, Emmanuel Villaume and the Spoleto Festival Orchestra, and Yuli Turovsky with I Musici de Montreal.The foursome regularly delivers traditional quartet repertoire, but is also fervently committed to performing and expanding the works of living composers. Among those with whom the St. Lawrence Quartet currently has active working relationships are R. Murray Schafer, Osvaldo Golijov, Christos Hatzis, Jonathan Berger, Ka Nin Chan, Roberto Sierra, and Mark Applebaum.Having been privileged to study with the Emerson, Tokyo and Juilliard String Quartets the St. Lawrence, are themselves passionate educators. Since 1998 they have held the position of Ensemble in Residence at Stanford University. This residency includes working with students of music as well as extensive collaborations with other faculty and departments using music to explore a myriad of topics. Recent collaborations have involved the School of Medicine, School of Education, and Jewish Studies. In addition to their appointment at Stanford, the SLSQ has served as visiting artists to the University of Toronto since 1995 and this season will inaugurate a new visiting chamber music residency at the Arizona State University. The foursome's passion for opening up musical arenas to players and listeners alike is evident in their annual summer chamber music seminar at Stanford and their many forays into the depths of musical meaning with preeminent music educator Robert Kapilow.The SLSQ is deeply committed to bringing music to less traditional venues outside the classroom or concert hall. Whether at Lincoln Center or an elementary school classroom, the St. Lawrence players maintain a strong desire to share the wonders of chamber music with their listeners, a characteristic of the foursome that has led them to a more informal performance style than one might expect from chamber musicians. Alex Ross of The New Yorker Magazine writes, "the St. Lawrence are remarkable not simply for the quality of their music making, exalted as it is, but for the joy they take in the act of connection."The St. Lawrence String Quartet records exclusively for EMI/ANGEL.

La consagración de mi auto
un estreno.Buen concierto el de ayer (16-ene-2008) en L'Auditori de Barcelona protagonizado por la JONDE y E.Colomer. La sala registraba un 70% de ocupación tirando largo y los ocupantes de las butacas eran chavalines y chavalinas en su mayoría.Abría el concierto Enchantements oubliés (2004;rev.2007) de Qigang Chen (Shangai, 1951) para cuerda y percusión. Chen fue discípulo de Messiaen y aunque a primera audición no sea demasiado evidente sí que se adivina en la obra de ayer algún pasaje pajaril. La cuerda era tratada con numeroso divisi, alternado momentos más meditativos con otros más rítmicos. Un recurrente motivo, de marcado carácter oriental y francés a la vez (no me pregunten cómo es eso que no sabría describirlo pero el caso es que era así), recorría toda la obra. Como pequeña anécdota, al timbalero se le escapó una de las baquetas en alguna de sus comprometidas partes. Una obra artesanal y poco más me pareció a mí.Seguía el Concierto para cello y orquesta "Tout un monde lointain" de Dutilleux que defendió como solista con gran maestría Xavier Phillips. Sólo puedo decir una cosa: ¡Qué maravilla de música!La Consagración, salvo algunos puntuales desajustes tampoco muy graves (¡esas trompas! ¡y la clarinete!), sonó muy bien.De propina ofrecieron la jota del Sombrero de tres picos de Falla, algo cuadriculada pero con arrojo.El auto se portó de fábula; y el mp3... ya no me parece tan guarrillo.Esta crónica y otras también la puedes leer en: http://clasiforonuevo.superforos.com/viewtopic.php?p=35933#35933 [ More Detail ]
