The Three Tenors Are ComingOn the opera stage, the tenor is often the most eminent protagonist. Whether as ardent lover or tragic hero, he is in the limelight to show lyrical sensitivity, sonorous euphony and smoothness, a maximum of nuances. The vocal range creates high expectations and provides an extraordinary aura.The three volumes for tenor represent the grand finale of the most comprehensive collection of repertoire for all vocal genres, with 16 volumes.Our goal is to give the user a modern-day, systematically structured vocal coach who satisfies the demands of present-day theater practice. At long last a consistent repertoire and a well-ordered conflation of respective audition arias for all vocal genres.

Die Gedichte von Michael Ende sind im Vergleich zu seinen Romanen weniger bekannt; sie sind jedoch von derselben hohen kunstlerischen Qualitat. Frederic Bolli hat fur die Kraft, fur die Fantasie und fur die stets prasente Mehrschichtigkeit dieser Gedichte eine adaquate Tonsprache gefunden, in welcher die Sanftheit und der Schrecken, die Hohenfluge wie die Abgrunde uberzeugend musikalisch eingebunden sind.Die Lieder konnen als Zyklus aufgefuhrt werden: Die Bezeichnungen 12063a, b, c usw. geben die vom Komponisten vorgeschlagene Reihenfolge an. Es kann aber auch eine Auswahl getroffen oder eine abweichende Reihenfolge gewahlt werden.

Of all his symphonies, Mahler gave the Fourth, his favorite and problem child, his most particular attention. The Heavenly Life, a humoresque composed in 1892 for soprano and piano, which he already wanted to use in the final movement of the Third Symphony under the title What the Child Tells Me, ultimately became the nucleus and final movement of the Fourth. Even after publication in 1901, Mahler kept repeatedly refining the orchestration. His maxim not without my retouching led to a whole series of revised reprints. It is probably no coincidence that Mahler performed especially the Fourth Symphony in his last two New York concerts in February 1911, using this opportunity to review once again the score and parts. This performance material with his retouching served as the main source for the new edition. Furthermore, included for the first time were corrections and annotations in conjunction with performances of the Fourth, which Mahler entered into the scores of conductors such as Mengelberg and Wickenhauser.

Vem Styrde hit din vag - Wer hat dich hergefuhrt Fast alle Orchesterbearbeitungen sind Jahre nach den Originalkompositionen fur Singstimme und Klavier entstanden.Trotz der Tatsache dass sie rasch hingeworfen sind zeigt sich in allen Liedern Sibelius' Meisterschaft als Orchesterliederkomponist. Manchmal vermag er eine dustere dramatische Atmosphare (in ,,Pa verandan vid havet) zu erzeugen manchmal gelingen ihm leuchtend farbige Impressionen (in ,,Soluppgang) oder zart transparente Gewebe (in ,,Varen flyktar hastigt) - immer jedoch sind die Lieder ganz aus deren poetischer Idee heraus gestaltet und differenziert nachgezeichnet. In den meisten Fallen beschrankte sich Sibelius auf ein relativ kleines Orchester. In ,,Varen flyktar hastigt sind neben den Streichern nur zwei Floten und vier Horner besetzt. Nearly all of the orchestral arrangements were made years after the original compositions for voice and piano.Yet even though the arrangements were made in a very short period of time Sibelius handled the combination of solo voice and orchestra in all songs with equal mastery sometimes creating dark and dramatic atmospheres (in Pa verandan vid havet) sometimes radiant colorful impressions (in Soluppgang) or light-colored transparent textures (in Varen flyktar hastigt) and always basing his ideas on the poetic idea of the song while discovering refined ways of supporting it.

Una voce poco profonda: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and HeroinesWhether the voice is lyric light or heavy, whether it can master coloratura, perhaps even has dramatic potential - in the OperAria mezzo-soprano and alto volumes, singers with a deeper voice and a special talent for the trouser role through to the heroine find everything they need for their performance. Throbbing of the heart? Yes, that's simply part of the game! Feeling nervous? No, because actually nothing can go wrong with OperAria. The best vocal coach for auditions and current theatre practice. Only the voice needs to do its bit. Toi, toi, toi!Our goal is to give the user a modern-day, systematically structured vocal coach who satisfies the demands of present-day theater practice.

Wahrend der vielen Corona-bedingten Lockdowns seit Fruhjahr 2020 habe ich mich, warum auch immer, tief in die vielgestaltige wie aufregende amerikanische Lyrik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts verloren - auch, aber nicht nur auf der Suche nach spannenden, vertonbaren Texten.Bei William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) schliesslich, der trotz seiner eminenten Bedeutung gar nicht so viel vertont wurde, hat mein Suchradar schliesslich angeschlagen.Fernab der protzerischen Bildungsburgerei eines T.S. Eliot, Lichtjahre entfernt von der gefahrlichen Faschismus-Nahe eines Ezra Pound, gehort WCW, wie er gerne liebevoll genannt wird, mit Elizabeth Bishop und Robert Lowell wohl zu den Fixsternen der amerikanischen Moderne. Diese feine, reduzierte, vermeintlich unscheinbar-verspielte, auf den zweiten Blick aber so subversive und messerscharf-bedeutungsreiche Lyrik hat mich seitdem vollends in ihren Bann gezogen.Auf Gedichten aus drei Banden basierend, ,,Sour Grapes(1921), ,,An Early Martyr and Other Poems (1935) und ,,The Wedge (1944), habe ich schliesslich einen sechs Orchesterlieder umfassenden Zyklus komponiert. Mit diesem wollte ich WCWs Gedichte nicht etwa verdoppeln oder nachzeichnen, sondern ganz bewusst meine personliche Sicht auf diese fragilen Meisterwerke werfen. Dieses Auftragswerk der Wiener Symphoniker und des Wiener Konzerthauses wurde vom fein modellierten Klang und Facettenreichtum dieses wunderbaren Orchesters inspiriert. Es ist meinen Eltern gewidmet.
