  Caruso and Tetrazzini on the Art of Singing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min

  Two of opera's greatest names offer encouragement and useful advice to aspiring singers in this classic guide. Tenor Enrico Caruso and coloratura soprano Luisa Tetrazzini employ nontechnical terms to provide an informal vocalist's anatomy, with instructions for the proper training, care, and disposition of the tongue, lungs, diaphragm, mouth, and the voice itself.Tetrazzini deals with the foundations of singing in breath control; tone emission and attack; and, sending aspiring performers to the mirror, facial expression and dress. Caruso remarks on tone production; such faults as the "white voice" and "goat voice"; the necessity of good diction; the role of diet; and the part superstition plays in certain singers' performances. These consummate artists show great charm and presence as writers, and this little book is a great pleasure to listen to. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lincoln Greene.

  Alchemies

  The four elements, regarded by ancient cultures as vital to the development of humanity, have long been interpreted as components of life and death, effectively encapsulating transformative cycles through their continual promotion of balance and imbalance. Written between 2000 and 2004, and entitled according to the terminology of the Renaissance scientist Paracelsus (Mercury: Water, Salt: Earth, Sulphur: Air, The imponderable: Fire), Roberto Fabbriciani's Alchemies offers an evocative take on these universal components, focusing intently on timbre and its possibilities in both acoustic and electronic environments in order to achieve a continuously shifting palette of sound.Fabbriciani uses different models of the flute, each combined with tape, to create his soundscape -- in Mercury, for example, the deep sound of the hyperbass flute suggests marine depths and submerged universes with a plethora of mysterious creatures, in harmony with the ancient concept of water as an element capable of mixing with all things due to its essential fluidity. The release -- Fabbriciani's first for Brilliant Classics -- is a pioneering experiment in technique meets ancient concept, as one of today's leading flautists, Fabbriciani has honed his skills through collaborating with many major composers of the past 50 years -- Luciano Berio, Elliott Carter and Brian Ferneyhough, among others."Whatever he [Fabbriciani] plays is always in the best way." John Cage (1989)Other information:- Recorded in 2011, Studio Neri, Montevarchi, Arezzo, Italy.- A new recording by composer and performer Roberto Fabbriziani, one of the foremost and famous 'flute artists' in the world, having collaborated with Elliot Carter, Luciano Berio, Brian Ferneyhough and John Cage, icons of the 20th century avant-garde.- Fabrizziani combines acoustic with electronical music, playing several flutes of different sizes, from coloratura to hyperbass.- An alchemy of unheard-of sounds, timbres and textures: truly fascinating for the open mind and open ear!- Contains English and Italian notes on the music and its composer.

  Adelaide di Borgogna

  “It can be truly said of “Adelaide di Borgogna” that, like a rose, it bloomed but a day - l’espace d’un matin.” First performed in Rome on the 27th December 1817, it enjoyed very few revivals. In 2011 the Rossini Festival in Pesaro presented the second staged performance of “Adelaide di Borgogna” since 1825. The story of the opera was taken from a historical event that took place in the medieval period, marking the end of an independent Italian kingdom and leading to the birth of the German Holy Roman Empire through the efforts of Otto I of Saxony. Caught between political rivalry and the love of two men, Adelaide of Burgundy struggles to fight for her people and chooses Otto, the better ruler, for herself and her kingdom. “Adelaide” stars sought-after mezzo Daniela Barcellona as “Ottone”, young Australian soprano Jessica Pratt, who possesses a natural-born bel canto voice, in the role of “Adelaide”, and Bogdan Mihai gives proof of his versatile coloratura-tenor. Director Pier’ Alli devised a modern, stylish look for his production, which interweaves medieval aspects with ironically used elements from the time of the opera’s genesis. His video installations create a beautifully abstract world for Rossini’s colourful music.
