SPECIAL PROGRAM: Johann Christian Bach: Gioas. Oratorium pro sóla, sbor a orchestr

1. část; 2. část; Zpívají Kai Wessel (kontratenor), Ulrike Staude (soprán), Mechthild Georg (mezzosoprán), Markus Schäfer (tenor), Monika Frimmer (soprán), Tom Sol (bas) a Rheinische Kantorei, hraje Das Kleine Konzert, řídí Hermann Max. (2 hrs., 16 min.)

Embedded in glorious devotional music of 17th century Germany performed in this concert are world premieres of works in response to them by contemporary Australian composers.

A father’s moving lament for his son, Fili mi Absalom by Heinrich Schütz inspired Brooke Shelley to compose her response guiding the soul from grief, anger and disbelief to acceptance.

Buxtehude’s cantata Mein Herz is bereit (my heart is ready) prompted Alice Chance to reflect on situations where our heart is ready for something and yet, for whatever reason, we don’t get it. Many unsuccessful attempts to reach that goal make the fulfilment more beautiful and satisfactory.

Recorded live in concert at St Canice Church Sandy Bay on 15, February 2026 by ABC Classic. Producer Toby Frost. Engineer Veronika Vincze.

Sunday Afternoon at the Opera: Gluck, Alceste 
This was the composer's pioneering work in his reform of eighteenth century Italian opera seria,first staged in Vienna in 1767. The Alceste opera of Christopf Willibald Gluck is a truly "classical" lyric stagework. Gluck set a revolutionary preface to the published score in which he inveighed against the late baroque degeneracy of the artform. Long ago on Sunday, April 17, 1988 I broadcast what was even back then a conventional and not exactly "reformed" recorded interpretation of Alceste from 1956 on Decca London/Richmond Treasury LP's, with Geraint Jones conducting his own orchestra and chorus, all of them British musicians backing the big-voiced Swedish diva soprano Kirsten Flagstad miscast in the title role. (She was an aging diva then, but her voice was still impressive.) That was once the only recording of the original Italian language version of Alceste available on disc. (The later Paris version of 1776 is a quite different remake of the opera with a French libretto.)

Teresa Ringholz possesses a lighter, brighter vocal quality than the doughty Flagstad. Her spinto soprano voice is much better suited to the historically informed performance practice of the Drottningholm Theatre Orchestra, playing instruments of the period. Arnold Ostman conducts the orchestra, chorus and singing cast. The 1767 Vienna version of Alceste was recorded in1998 at the historic Drottningholm Theatre- a remarkably well-preserved eighteenth century structure located not far from Stockholm where the Swedish royalty for a time maintained their Summer residence. Reviewer James Camner cannot praise the 1999 Naxos CD release of the 1767 Alceste enough. Writing for Fanfare magazine (Nov/Dec 1999 issue), he states forthrightly it's "a triumph on every level, a magnificent set [of three compact discs] that is a must for every opera collection...This is the landmark release of a landmark opera." (3 hrs., 30 min.)

Keine andere Komposition hat in der Neuen Musik derart viele künstlerische Reflexe ausgelöst wie "Die Winterreise".

Pia Davila, Sopran

Leitung: Lucie Leguay

Bernard Foccroulle: Winterreisende
Helena Cánovas Parés: Kein Frühling mehr
Thierry Tidrow: Le domaine mystérieux
Malika Kishino: Verlorene Farben
Sarah Nemtsov: Komm
Leon Liang: "...dann ist’s so schön wie nie", fünf Lieder vom Rande der Gesellschaft

(Aufnahme vom 8. Februar aus dem Casals Forum in Kronberg)

Franz Schuberts 1827 komponierter Liederzyklus auf Gedichte von Wilhelm Müller zeigt überaus einnehmend und raffiniert, mithin doppelbödig, das Individuum als rastlosen Wanderer durch die ihm fremd gewordene, die kalte Gesellschaft. Und die Suche nach Wärme, Geborgenheit und Angekommen-Sein stellt sich nicht ein. Komponisten wie Rainer Bredemeyer, Hans Zender, Friedhelm Döhl oder Mark Andre haben mit eigenen Positionen auf die poetisch-existenzielle Tiefe der "Winterreise" reagiert. Das Projekt "zeitgenössische Winterreise" des Ensemble Modern mit Uraufführungen von Bernard Foccroulle, Helena Cánovas Parés, Thierry Tidrow, Malika Kishino und Sarah Nemtsov führt diese Rezeptionstradition weiter und erweitert die traurige Reise per Kunstlied um eine reale Februar-Reise durch Frankfurt. Ehe Pia Davila und Julian Prégardien samt Ensemble Modern plus Dirigentin Lucie Leguay in Kronberg zum abendlichen Konzert zusammenfinden, haben sie die neuen Stücke schon an verschiedenen Orten im Stadtraum aufgeführt.

Anschließend:
Konzert "Carte Blanche" vom cresc-Festival 2013 (23.11.2013, Staatstheater Darmstadt): Mitglieder des Ensemble Modern und der hr-Big Band spielen Bearbeitungen von Werken Bernd Alois Zimmermanns und Eigenkompositionen. (2 hrs.)

The WWFM Sunday Opera: Pavel Haas' "Sarlatan" ("The Charlatan")
By Michael Kownacky

This week’s Sunday Opera (4/12 3:00 p.m.) is turning to the work of a mostly forgotten Czech composer, Pavel Haas through his only opera, written in 1936, “Sarlatan,” “The Charlatan.”

Haas was one of the composers and performers to be used by the Nazis as part of their propaganda display at Terezin (Theresienstadt concentration camp) for the Red Cross. Immediately after the show for the Red Cross was over, all of the Terezin captives were sent to the extermination camps where Haas was killed on October 17, 1944 at the age of 45.He drew attention to himself, saving conductor Karel Ancerl whom he thought a great artist, especially compared to his own believed talents.

“Sarlatan” Is the story of a quack doctor named Pustrpalk (Vladimir Chmelo) and his traveling troupe who has some lucky successes with his various tonics that fade when he kills a rival during a treatment. Narrowly escaping a hanging, his life spirals out of control and he begins drinking heavily, which leads to his tragic end.

The cast includes Anda-Louise Bogza, Miroslav Svejda, Leo Marian Vodicka, Ladislav Miejnek, Jilka Svododova, and Jiri Kublik.Israel Yinon conducts the Prague State Opera Orchestra and the Prague Philharmonic Choir.

After the opera, host Michael Kownacky has more music of Haas scheduled, including Haas Wind Quintet, String Quartet No. 2, Piano Suite, and Radio Overture, a piece rescued from Terezin after the captives were sent to Auschwitz. (3 hrs., 30 min.)
