I'm honestly really into the idea that Jelly and Asparagus are kinda just...there in regards to their theatrical talent. You'd think, with both their parents being stars in their own right, that they'd also be quadruple threats - at least that's the expectation- but they aren't great dancers (for varying reasons), they're only so so actors, have never interacted with an instrument that didn't protest, neither are particularly showy cats, etc, etc.
And you think huh, well that's too bad. The Theatre Cat genes didn't really translate down all that strongly. Shame.
But then they open their mouths - and you're like ah...yes, there it is. There's the ticket. Because their singing voices are beautiful in that effortless born with perfect pitch kinda way.

The holidays -- ugh! I always need some Handel at this time of year for reassurance.
Anyway this is the Academy of St. Martin In the Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner, and featuring mezzo, Anne-Sophie von Otter, and soprano, Sylvia McNair.
The selections from Handel's Messiah are, "He shall feed His flock" and "His yoke is easy".
It's going to be a long six weeks. I wish I had a stuffed bear to cuddle.
Okay ... a stuffed giraffe. 🦒

“La canción española de concierto se está perdiendo”
Tumblr media
[Pablo García López (Córdoba, 1988). la foto es de Juan Carlos Vázquez]
El tenor cordobés Pablo García-López acaba de presentar un disco de producción propia en el que, acompañado por el pianista Aurelio Viribay, ofrece canciones de cuatro compositores españoles
Pablo García-López (Córdoba, 1988) aprovechó el confinamiento de la primavera para grabar un disco que reúne dos de los ciclos de canciones más populares de la música española del siglo XX (las Seis Canciones de Toldrá y las Canciones playeras de Esplá) con piezas poco conocidas de dos maestros cordobeses fallecidos en los últimos quince años, Joaquín Reyes y Ramón Medina.
–¿Lo había hecho mucho en concierto? –Sí. Llevo años trabajando con Aurelio [Viribay] sobre este repertorio y dándole vueltas a la idea de grabarlo. Pero las agendas no cuadraban nunca. Hasta el confinamiento. Es, por un lado, un proyecto muy personal, y eso es algo que me mueve mucho, pero por otro me parecía muy importante, porque la canción española de concierto se está perdiendo. Sobre todo en las interpretaciones de hombres. Al contrario de lo que pasa en Alemania con el lied, aquí, la canción española, que un día hicieron Kraus o Carreras, está dejando de ser cantada por voces masculinas. Hay muy poca gente que la haga. José Antonio López, quizás, y pocos más. Me apetecía volver a poner en valor esta música desde una visión más joven. Junto a Aurelio, que tiene ese poso de la tradición, creo que hemos llegado a un punto intermedio muy interesante.
–¿Cómo hizo la selección del programa? –Toldrá y Esplá son conocidos por todos los aficionados. He crecido con estas canciones, las que empecé a escuchar cuando estudiaba canto. Me enamoré de la música española por ellas. Y yo quise añadir las canciones, mucho menos difundidas, de Joaquín Reyes, que fue Director del Conservatorio de Córdoba, y de Ramón Medina, un compositor al que conocí y para quien tuve la suerte de cantar cuando era muy joven. Había escuchado su música en el Conservatorio. Cuando la analicé en profundidad me di cuenta de que son canciones que aúnan gran calidad musical y un cuidado exquisito por realzar el poema. En los dos se aprecia un auténtico esfuerzo por destacar el sentido de los textos. Hay algunas canciones extraordinarias. La adelfa de Medina, por ejemplo, es una joya, es una de las canciones más inspiradas de todo el disco.
Tumblr media
–Es usted más conocido como cantante de ópera. –Sí, ¿verdad? Pues mi corazón, mi espíritu son más liederistas que operísticos. Durante el confinamiento cada día he cantado dos lieder de Schubert. Era lo que me hacía la terapia. Yo viví en Alemania y allí me enamoré del lied. Es verdad que por mis cualidades técnicas y a lo mejor mi vis dramática en la ópera funciono bien, pero yo quería que la canción y el lied estuvieran muy presentes en mi carrera. Hice ya una Bella molinera con Simon Lepper en Londres y en el Centro Botín de Santander. He hecho mucho recital de concierto con Aurelio. En noviembre pasado estuve en China cantando las Canciones de Falla con orquesta. Es verdad que quizá la ópera se ve más. Es un mundo más llamativo. Pero el lied es lo que me hace conectar con lo que soy auténticamente. Aunque de primeras pueda parecer muy extrovertido, soy en realidad muy reflexivo y tengo un carácter algo melancólico. Además, mi voz está en el momento perfecto para hacer estas canciones. Tengo una voz fresca, muy clara, muy flexible; puedo acortar mi vibrato, hacer que el texto resalte mucho. Si sirve para que la gente me conozca en algo distinto ya está bien empleado el disco.
–De momento sus papeles operísticos son los de tenor ligero. ¿Piensa seguir en ese terreno o se plantea ya afrontar algo de mayor peso lírico? –Aunque mi registro puede llegar muy grave y mi color es aterciopelado no me quiero engañar y quiero saber dónde estoy. Mi voz es muy fresca y debo de mantenerme en un repertorio en el que no sufra. Creo que en Mozart hay una línea perfecta, la que llega hasta Tamino. Y es lo que interpreto. Poco a poco sí quiero hacer algún belcanto más. Hice L’elisir d’amore y me fue muy bien. Nemorino es un papel para mi voz. Creo que cuando la voz está fresca todo puede resultar tentador, pero quiero mantenerla fresca cuantos más años mejor. Por otro lado, los intérpretes tenemos la obligación de investigar y sacar a la luz otras cosas. Hay muchas obras barrocas por ejemplo que hay que ofrecer con visiones nuevas, o estas canciones, ciclos de lied y óperas contemporáneas, por ejemplo, que he hecho muchas. Creo que es un deber del intérprete.
youtube
–Ya que habla de cosas barrocas acaba de venir de hacer un proyecto en Oviedo con Forma Antiqva. ¿Era la primera vez que trabajaba con un conjunto barroco? –Había hecho con ellos la Pasión según San Juan. Tengo que confesarle que el Barroco es mi pasión, pero lo he hecho muy poco. Por suerte, se me está abriendo este camino. En esta Isla locura de Oviedo creo que la gente pudo acercarse a una interpretación barroca nueva, y entró muy bien. Tengo algún proyecto más con otro grupo barroco, a ver si sale.
–No ha debutado todavía en el Teatro de la Maestranza. ¿Hay alguna perspectiva en los próximos años? –Eso espero. Javier Menéndez me ha llamado. Estamos viendo qué hacer. Hay un proyecto interesante para mi primera presencia en el teatro, algo que tampoco hago mucho y de lo que no puedo hablar públicamente. Sinceramente, no entiendo por qué no he estado antes. Me llamó en su día la ROSS, hice un proyecto con la orquesta, pero no sé por qué el teatro no lo hizo. Me gustaría venir más a Sevilla. Me encanta el Maestranza, me encanta la ciudad.
–¿Cómo se lleva con los programadores españoles? –Bien. Lo importante es que el programador sea una persona culta que mire más allá del artista. A veces me he llevado sorpresas de cosas que me han propuesto, que yo no veía y al final el programador tenía razón. En general, me siento bastante bien tratado por todos los programadores que valoro. Aunque es cierto que creo que los artistas españoles deberíamos tener más oportunidades. Si queremos cuidar la cantera de cantantes tendríamos que mirar la oportunidad que dan los alemanes a sus cantantes o los franceses a los suyos. Es importante apostar por los cantantes jóvenes, hacer repartos jóvenes, como se ha hecho en Oviedo, o en el Centro de Perfeccionamiento Plácido Domingo en Valencia, del que fui parte. Y aquí quiero romper una lanza en favor de Helga Schmidt, que hizo mucho por los cantantes jóvenes, españoles y no españoles. Muchos cantantes de mi generación le debemos mucho a Helga Schmidt. Como Mattia Olivieri, que está todos los años en la Scala, Olga Peretyatko e incluso Gregory Kunde, ya maduro, pero también. A mí me ayudó y me aconsejó sobre cosas que he entendido con los años.
Tumblr media
[Pablo García-López. La foto es de Juan Carlos Vázquez]
–¿Y con los directores de escena qué tal se lleva? –No he tenido muchos problemas. Preparo con mucho tiempo las cosas, musical y escénicamente. No me gusta la improvisación. Cuando llego al teatro y veo que algo no está bien argumentado, sí que me paro y pregunto por qué vamos por ese camino. Yo voy a poner mi trabajo de meses para que la visión de ese director salga adelante, y quiero que me convenza, que me cuente por qué lo hace. En realidad he tenido más rifirrafes con directores musicales. Me llevo también bien con prácticamente todos. He trabajado con Mehta, Juanjo Mena, Chailly, López Cobos, Hernández Silva… Gente con la que puedes dialogar, que te convence. Con quien no puedo es con el dictador, con ese me suelo llevar mal.
–¿Tiene algún icono como cantante? –Fritz Wunderlich es un ejemplo a seguir por su repertorio y su forma de afrontarlo. Y en las grabaciones con orquesta es impresionante cómo lo acompañan, cómo su voz puede salir plena, cómo no lo ahogan, cómo están con él. Eso me encanta. Me fijé mucho en él como músico más que en su voz. Luego, Anne-Sophie von Otter es un modelo. Da igual que cojas grabaciones del principio de su carrera que del final. Está en todas estupenda. Ella es de las cantantes que me cuenta siempre algo interesante con sus interpretaciones, me descubre siempre algo nuevo del lied, de esa sinfonía de Mahler... Me fascina. Y en España, a María Bayo la he tenido como ejemplo en el mundo barroco, la zarzuela, la música española... Es una mujer que ha abierto muchas puertas. Ahora tengo la suerte de tenerla como amiga. Me ha ayudado a tomar algunas decisiones importantes.
–Sigue trabajando con un profesor... –Sí, sigo teniendo profesor en Berlín. Se llama John Norris, es estadounidense. Sigo preparando con él todos los roles. Él se basa mucho en la postura, en la parte física y efectiva del sonido. Es muy certero, muy preciso. Me siento muy cómodo, porque yo necesito sentir mucho lo que hago en el cuerpo. Creamos juntos. En Berlín encuentro una energía especial. Voy y parece que todo resulta más fácil para mí.
youtube
–Algún papel con el que sueñe. –Me gustaría hacer Wagner. No sé si podré hacerlo, porque dependerá de cómo evolucione mi voz y si puedo con la orquesta, pero… Me encantaría hacer Mime de Das Rheingold. Creo que haría una versión personal y distinta, quizás más como un niño que está jugando. Rake’s Progress también me interesa mucho, y quizás pueda hacerla en unos años. Y Tito [de La clemenza di Tito de Mozart]. Creo que para Tito necesito unos años de madurez. El personaje tiene algo en que la vida le ha pasado un poco de factura, y todavía mi aspecto y mi voz me parecen demasiado claros.
–Sus proyectos más inmediatos. –Voy a hacer Manon Lescaut en Navarra y Capricho en la Ópera de Zúrich. Luego tengo un proyecto mozartiano en Suiza también para el próximo verano. Estaré con la Orquesta Nacional. Y hay algunos proyectos en marcha con el Teatro Real. Creo que los músicos de mi generación vamos encontrando nuestro sitio. Es importante ir a lo que tú quieres hacer. Aunque siga haciendo ópera, yo quiero ir a ciertos títulos que me interesan mucho: Mozart, por supuesto, pero también barrocos y otro tipo de repertorios, cámara, barroco con ensembles…

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Connolly!!!, Williams, Piau (x2), Gens, Koch, Devieihle, ASvO, & more
Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.
Sarah Connolly sings the title role in a live broadcast of the opening night of Ariodante from the Wiener Staatsoper. Her co-stars include Christoph Dumaux, Chen Reiss, Hila Fahima, Rainer Trost, and Wilhelm Schwinghammer. Saturday, February 24 on Ö1.*
Roderick Williams sings the title role in a deferred broadcast of Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria from the Royal Opera (performed at the Roundhouse with the Early Opera Company Orchestra). I hear that Williams is very good in this role. Mezzo fans may also want to listen out for Caitlin Hulcup, Susan Bickley, and Catherine Carby. Saturday, February 24 on BBC Radio 3.*
Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites is not my usual cuppa but I couldn’t help but take note of this cast: Patricia Petibon, Sophie Koch, Véronique Gens, Sabine Devieihle, and Sandrine Piau are the top billed soloists in the WCH listing. Deferred broadcast from the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Sunday, February 25 on France Musique.*
Fans of Sandrine Piau can hear her again in the deferred broadcast of a concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra featuring Poulenc’s Gloria and Gounod’s St. Cecilia Mass. Sunday, February 25 on WFMT. (NOTE: because WCH uses GMT for all schedule listings, this concert is displayed on WCH as taking place early in the morning of Monday, February 26, It is in fact scheduled for broadcast at 8:00 pm local Chicago time on February 25.)
Broadcasts marked with an asterisk (*) are on channels known to me to have a history of making most if not all of their live concert broadcasts available for catch-up listening for at least a week afterward. I can’t guarantee that any of these will be archived online but if you miss the live broadcast, there may be hope!

Former president and executive director of the New York Philharmonic, Zarin Mehta, grew up in 1940’s Bombay before it became the booming city of Mumbai. In Mehta’s memory, Bombay was more like a colonial fishing village.
Mehta talks with Alec about his father, who founded the Bombay Symphony Orchestra, his brother Zubin, and the realities of running a major arts organization in New York, saying that, “in the United States one does not look to the state for support of the arts.” Alec also speaks with Mehta's wife, Carmen, and she offers her own insights into his success.

International Istanbul Theater Festival
Theater performances used to be a part in the programme of the International Istanbul Festival, organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts j since 1973. By 1989 theatre
performances gained an independed identity and the new event was named The International Istanbul Theater Festival.
Every year, The International Istanbul Theatre Festival includes in its programme the finest examples of classical and experimental theatre, dance and physical theater, music theater, theatrical concerts. From its start until today, the finest examples of national and international Groups, artists and productions participated in the Festival.
Since 1997 the International Theater Festival presents two “Honorary Awards” to one international and one Turkish theater personalities for their lifetime achievement in the field of performing arts.
The awards are presented each year during the opening ceremony of the festival.
In the last few years the International Istanbul Theater Festival started to print its name under significant Turkish and international productions as a coproducer. The intention of the Festival is to improve this attempt in future as far as conditions alow.
Istanbul Music Festival
International Istanbul Music Festival, 1972, is the oldest international of Istanbul. The festival brings the greatest names of the world and the country together during June- ) uly period every year. The festival, almost turning to be the official parade of the famed, gains another importance with the galas of many albums. The festival has hosted the most important artists and groups of the world for 32 years in Istanbul such as; New York Philarmony, Orpheus Chamber (Irchestra, Alban Berg Quartet, Tokyo String Quartet, Aldo Ciccolini, Itzhak Perlman, Julian Lloyd Webber, Mischa Maisky, Christopher Parkening, Montserrat Caballe. The festival is also an intermediary that brings Turkish Jurkish conductors and groups with the foreign artists on the same stage: Kronos Quartet and Burhan Ogal (2000).
The special project in 1999 was staging. Likewise, the 33rd International Istanbul Music Festival will be in June 2005 and the most prominent artists and ensembles of the classical music world will once again perform in Istanbul. Among them will be Marunsky Theatre Kirov Opera Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Valery Gergiev, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Anne Sophie von Otter, Academy of Ancient Music and Choir conducted by Christopher Hogwood, Concerto Koln & Sarband and Vadim Repin.
Jazz fans in Turkey, will most readily remember the 8th of July 1984. On that very day, hearing that Chick Corea and Steve Kujala were going to give a concert in Ataturk Cultural Centre as part of the Istanbul Festival, they had raided the box offices, and tickets were immediately sold out On the day of the concert there was an unprecedented crowd outside the ACC, and many people missed it as there were no tickets left. Chick Corea made his own surprise at the end of the concert when he brought Gayle Moran on stage. This unforgettable concert was the beginning of things to come. It was a reminder that jazz should occupy a bigger part in the Istanbul Festival, and that the musical spectrum of the Festival should be extended to cover many other musical styles.
As years went by the emphasis on jazz in the Istanbul Festival increased. The first real rock concerts in Istanbul were held in the Open-Air Theatre as part of the Istanbul Festival program The number of concerts under the heading of jazz, rock and pop grew in number every year. Then the line was crossed in rg88 and the legendary Miles Davis presented unforgettable musical feasts in the Open-Air Theatre three nights in a row. He was followed by Dizzy Gillespie, the Modem Jazz Quartet, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman and many others.
Istanbul Foundation for Culture
As the years went by,” jazz” also went beyond the limits of its literal meaning, and the Board of Directors of the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts announced that the rst International Istanbul Jazz Festival was to be held as a separate event The festival was planned to be an activity embracing concerts of many styles of music in addition to jazz; like rock, pop, blues, reggae, new age, etc. It would surpass the boundaries of the concert sites, and question the boundary separating the people who produce music from those who consume it. In short, it would be more than a series of concerts. 1994, has a remarkable reputation among the national and international media
The Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts has been Cirganising art events for twenty four years in the fields of classical music, jazz, film, theatre and visual arts to start a dialogue between the Turkish art world and international art circles. Since 1987, IFCA has pioneered an international Biennial which aims at establishing an open-ended international visual art exchange between artists from different cultures. Through the four biennials that IFCA has organised, the opportunity for the development of an international cultural network has been secured not only for the Turkish art scene but also for the international artists, curators and art critics.
September-November period every two years. From the 1st International Istanbul Biennial held in 1987, Istanbul became host to internationally known artists such as Bruce Nauman, Tony Oursler, Ilya Kabakov, Sarkis, Nam June Paik, Sigmar Polke. There were special exhibitions from Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, USA, England and Yugoslavia Turkish artists, galleries and collectors also participated.
International Istanbul Biennial
10th International Istanbul Biennial will take place between 8 September and 4 November 2007. Chinese art critic and creator Hou Hanru will be creator of the biennial. The biennial’s concept this year “Is not impossible and is necessary – optimism at the time of global war” Focused on architectural realism and metropolitan facts to show cultural connections, different views and opinions about art with the complications of modem life. 10th International Istanbul Biennial just more than an ordinary exhibition during working hours its designed to be a creative workshop, there will be events during the night. So the public can be directly involved with the biennial project
Electronic Image of Dazibao Project referring its name from the radical street posters expressing democratic public views and opinions during the Chinese Cultural Revolution will start with the gathering open to everyone. The project will be consisting of amateur and professional video works of artists chosen by young group of creators from Turkey and will be louring different places every night.

International Istanbul Theater Festival
Theater performances used to be a part in the programme of the International Istanbul Festival, organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts j since 1973. By 1989 theatre
performances gained an independed identity and the new event was named The International Istanbul Theater Festival.
Every year, The International Istanbul Theatre Festival includes in its programme the finest examples of classical and experimental theatre, dance and physical theater, music theater, theatrical concerts. From its start until today, the finest examples of national and international Groups, artists and productions participated in the Festival.
Since 1997 the International Theater Festival presents two “Honorary Awards” to one international and one Turkish theater personalities for their lifetime achievement in the field of performing arts.
The awards are presented each year during the opening ceremony of the festival.
In the last few years the International Istanbul Theater Festival started to print its name under significant Turkish and international productions as a coproducer. The intention of the Festival is to improve this attempt in future as far as conditions alow.
Istanbul Music Festival
International Istanbul Music Festival, 1972, is the oldest international of Istanbul. The festival brings the greatest names of the world and the country together during June- ) uly period every year. The festival, almost turning to be the official parade of the famed, gains another importance with the galas of many albums. The festival has hosted the most important artists and groups of the world for 32 years in Istanbul such as; New York Philarmony, Orpheus Chamber (Irchestra, Alban Berg Quartet, Tokyo String Quartet, Aldo Ciccolini, Itzhak Perlman, Julian Lloyd Webber, Mischa Maisky, Christopher Parkening, Montserrat Caballe. The festival is also an intermediary that brings Turkish Jurkish conductors and groups with the foreign artists on the same stage: Kronos Quartet and Burhan Ogal (2000).
The special project in 1999 was staging. Likewise, the 33rd International Istanbul Music Festival will be in June 2005 and the most prominent artists and ensembles of the classical music world will once again perform in Istanbul. Among them will be Marunsky Theatre Kirov Opera Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Valery Gergiev, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Anne Sophie von Otter, Academy of Ancient Music and Choir conducted by Christopher Hogwood, Concerto Koln & Sarband and Vadim Repin.
Jazz fans in Turkey, will most readily remember the 8th of July 1984. On that very day, hearing that Chick Corea and Steve Kujala were going to give a concert in Ataturk Cultural Centre as part of the Istanbul Festival, they had raided the box offices, and tickets were immediately sold out On the day of the concert there was an unprecedented crowd outside the ACC, and many people missed it as there were no tickets left. Chick Corea made his own surprise at the end of the concert when he brought Gayle Moran on stage. This unforgettable concert was the beginning of things to come. It was a reminder that jazz should occupy a bigger part in the Istanbul Festival, and that the musical spectrum of the Festival should be extended to cover many other musical styles.
As years went by the emphasis on jazz in the Istanbul Festival increased. The first real rock concerts in Istanbul were held in the Open-Air Theatre as part of the Istanbul Festival program The number of concerts under the heading of jazz, rock and pop grew in number every year. Then the line was crossed in rg88 and the legendary Miles Davis presented unforgettable musical feasts in the Open-Air Theatre three nights in a row. He was followed by Dizzy Gillespie, the Modem Jazz Quartet, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman and many others.
