okay listening to Jesus Christ Superstar through the lens of Breaking Bad was such a good idea because Walt would definitely consider himself the Christ figure in his own story and if you listen to it that way it creates a comically heretical new interpretation in which Jesus is actually just a manipulative asshole with delusions of grandeur and all the Blood and Destruction Because of One Man does not remotely involve a moral high ground

Updated stream list

I've been getting a lot of questions/requests regarding possible streams and thought it might be helpful to catalog everything we've watched so far! I'll keep it pinned and updated moving forward.

Longtime crowd favorites (streamed at least three times) are marked with a single asterisk.

Why isn’t [specific actor/video] on this list?

The video is currently marked not for trade.

We haven’t gotten to it yet.

The footage does not exist or is too incomplete.

It isn't on a platform I can stream it from.

There's something particularly off-putting about the video or actor.

How can I get a copy of a video listed here?

There's a list of publicly available bootlegs here, and there are many other adaptations on the Phantom Retrospective channel. Otherwise, contact @glassprism (or another trader) for a possible trade, or check her website for info on which master(s) to contact.

For general stream info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ.

On to the list!

Helena Rasker & Simon Lepper - Schumann/ from: Frauenliebe und Leben (li...

Charles Wilfrid Orr (1893-1976) - 4 Songs: No. 2. Requiem ·

Mark Stone & Simon Lepper

I’ve written about this work before; it’s one of my favorite pieces of music. But Barber wrote it for soprano Eleanor Steber, and it’s pretty much always performed by sopranos, not always to the benefit of the beautiful James Agee text. Moreover, anyone familiar with Agee’s “A Death in the Family,” which is the source of this “prose poem,” knows that the main character is a little boy. So I always thought it would be better if the work were performed by a man, recalling a key moment in his childhood. Russell Thomas nails this work, delivering a great performance of a great work. His diction is immaculate: you can understand every word. And Simon Lepper somehow manages to bring out all the essential voices of the orchestral version, while never failing to achieve a beautiful, uniquely pianistic sound. He understands that soaring high strings are different than those same pitches on the piano, and need a different dynamic. This is an absolute stunner.

Have there been any aggressive and condescending Raouls ( you know, Hadley Fraser’s style) ?

Many of the restaged tour Raouls were, which makes sense as it was directed by the same person. Some of those that come to mind are:

Simon Bailey (though I found him aggressive even in the original)

Ben Jacoby

Storm Lineberger (though he was an improvement on Jacoby)

Jordan Craig (decent at first, then went downhill)

From the original, these were a few that I found, perhaps not as angry as Hadley Fraser’s, but still overly grumpy:

Tim Martin Gleason

Carsten A. Lepper

Sean Palmer

So there you have some!

Happy 10th anniversary!!

The same day of exactly ten years ago, on march 14th 2009, the Theatre St.Gallen (Switzerland) hosted the world premiere (in german language) of “The Count of Monte Cristo” (within the title of «Der Graf von Monte-Christo»), musical adaptation of Alexandre Dumas père’s novel of the same name. From classic french literature to the theatrical stages, written by the composer Frank Wildhorn with lyrics and libretto by Jack Murphy.

Congratulations to all the creative team that was behind this production (with the great direction of Andreas Gergen, Simon Eichenberger as dance captain, Susanne Hubrich’s gorgeous costume designs and the fight director Jochen Schmidtke), its authors and the marvellous cast of talented actors and voices, for reaching this goal. I wish you all and for your careers the best life could offer, as the happiest and fulfilling moments.

For whoever desires to watch the original first performance, here is available the german musical provided of english subtitles. enjoy!

I want to use this corner to wholly and properly thank the entire cast members, for how passion they bring along their characters on stage, with amazing acting and strong vibrant voices. in order:

• Thomas Borchert in the main role starring as Edmond Dantès/the count of Monte Cristo. His talent rendered well the man’s journey from a simple naïve young sailor to a merciless messenger of revenge, for after coming back once again and reunite to his old self, to be free, not just “physically” (from the condition of imprisonment of the Castle d’If), now even “heartly” and soul-ly, from the obsession and destruction that the slavery of vengeance thoughts was devouring him to the core. • Sophie Berner in the role of Mercédès Herrera, the sunshine beautiful fiancée of Edmond and afterwards the bride of Mondego. For all the grace yet strength in endure all the pain and sorrow for all those years, the protection and affection of a loving mother towards her child, ready to relinquish and suffer anything for him, to be finally rewarded with happiness at the end. • Carsten Lepper, Christoph Goetten and Karim Khawatmi (in the next picture) as Fernand Mondego (love rival for Mercédès’ heart), Gérard de Villefort (chief prosecutor of Paris, keeper of connections towards Napoleon Bonaparte – at that piece of History foe of the French’s royal family and King Louis, so every supporter would be punished for treason against the crown – due to his father’s politic ideals, he will find himself in a tough decision that tests his intentions of true justice, between to not struck down an innocent’s life ‘cause of a dangerous letter Edmond owns from his dying captain and was ready to send – despite unaware of its content, that involves Villefort’s family and can potentially ruin them under the society’s eyes, or sacrifice to not lose everything he built up until that moment and maintain the secret, safe and untold) and Danglars (Pharaon’s bookkeeper and later Paris’ influential banker), the plotting trio against Dantès and the Count’s enemies.

• Dean Welterien as Abbé Faria, old priest prisoner at the Chateau d’If, Edmond’s mentor and guide through the period of prison and loneliness. The most reasonable also morally righteous character of the entire story and you can’t beat that. • Kurt Schrepter as Jacopo, former pirate and the Count’s faithful right arm, his most trusted and closest friend after Edmond’s new freedom and escape, selfless and helpful, for his own initiative he decided to follow the former prisoner, after their knife duel on Vampa’s ship, and help him with his plan. • Daniel Berini as Albèrt Mondego, young and kind man of Parisian noble class, son of Mercédès and Fernand. He will come across the Count’s path in Rome, during the colorful Italian Carnival, for an unexpected encounter, unaware if for fate’s decision or for human’s hand and work.

• Barbara Obermeier in the role of Valentine de Villefort, daughter of the chief prosecutor and betrothed to Albèrt. Through her actions, moved by true feelings and determination, she’ll remembrance to the Count the innocence and pureness of young love, awakening old memories of so long ago in his cold and hardened heart from hatred and thirst for revenge, leading the man to spare the boy’s life in real compassion and mercy, making him finding once more the – thought lost – kindness of these gentle sensations. • Ava Brennan as the brave and kick-ass Luisa Vampa, leader of a crew of Italian bandits and pirates that sail the seas. Strong and independent woman with her harem of lesbian piratesses, deal with the fact she’s the boss and ready to fight you just for fun’s sake. • André Bauer as Monsieur Morrel, owner of the Pharaon, the commercial ship in which Edmond worked in before his arrest, when near to be the ship’s new captain. • Suzanne Carey, part of the magnificent and wonderful ensemble, she performed in multiple minor roles during the entire performance, first as one of the unnamed guests in Edmond and Mercédès’ betrothal feast and after in the opulent ball organized by the Count in his new rich mansion, for his entrance in the Paris’ society, as an upper-class lady, wife of Villefort and mother of Valentine.

• Ines Hengl-Pirker [13], part too of the talented ensemble, she performed as Madame Danglars in the ball scene and, as well as Suzanne, a member of Vampa’s crew, as a proud piratesse. • Mathias Förster [15], highlighted the role of the dying former captain of the Pharaon, Leclère, and the caring old Louis Dantès, father of Edmond. ps. just for personal satisfaction fan content, here I leave a glorious picture of Luisa kick-asses Vampa, in her smoothest expression of amusement.

plus bonus cute happy edmond and mercédès during their betrothal party, providing of lovely flower crowns by Fernand (the karmic irony, isn’t it? also,  why u re such asshole in this adaptation what happened to you where is lost the mondego of the book in love for his wife unthinkable of betraying her with others and caring with his son and proud of him??? explain wildhorn)

Have you ever gone back to a neighborhood you haven’t been in for years and feel as if you’re in a foreign land? I went to West Broadway a few days ago. How dare they change the hood without my permission. It used to be industrial with hamburger joints on every corner. Now, it’s packed with sleek tearooms that favor kale, green tea and Italian words. I ducked into Sanctuary, how appropriate, and…

“La canción española de concierto se está perdiendo”

[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.

–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.

–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.

[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.

–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: Hallenberg’s Marguerite and a Cargill recital

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.

This week’s list is short, but it is all-mezzo (and all-Beeb). 

I usually see Ann Hallenberg’s name in baroque programs. This week she does Berlioz’s La damnation de Faust from the BBC Proms for a change. Her co-stars are top drawer, too: Michael Spyres, Laurent Naouri, and Ashley Riches. JEG conducts. Tuesday, August 8 on BBC Radio 3 (should be available on demand for a month afterward).

Meanwhile at the Edinburgh International Festival, Karen Cargill offers a recital featuring songs by Hahn, Debussy, Chausson, Duparc and Wagner. Simon Lepper accompanies her on the piano. Thursday, August 10 on BBC Radio 3 (should be available on demand for a month afterward).
