NEWS FROM AROUND THE
WORLD OF MUSIC
Many years ago, when I was a music student, I studied
counterpoint; the textbook was dense and forbidding. My dear friend Beth
Denisch, professor of composition at Berklee School of Music, has produced a
book on counterpoint that is clear and even beautiful, a bargain at twice the
price.--Rosie

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
Coming
up this Saturday (April 21), there are 2 operas being offered to us
by the Met. First of all, the matinee broadcast this time around is a
performance from last fall of Thomas Ades's newest opera "The
Exterminating Angel" which many of you may have seen when it received an
HD-transmission several months ago.
(www.wrti.org/)
Later on the same day -- at 7:55 p.m. -- you can hear a LIVE performance from the Met of Puccini's "Tosca" with Anna Netrebko in the title role and with her real-life husband Yusif Eyvazov in the tenor role of Cavaradossi.
(www.metopera.org/)
Besides the Ades opera, there's actually another 21st century British opera on Saturday's schedule as BBC Radio 3 brings us the world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's latest: "Coraline." This so-called "children's opera" was heard just last month in London.
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
The Austrian station ORF, on the other hand, keeps us firmly in the mid-19th century with the February 11, 2018 performance from Berlin of Wagner's "Tristan & Isolde."
(http://oe1.orf.at/)
Two more 19th century operas appear on the schedule later on. One of them is "Benvenuto Cellini" by Hector Berlioz, as performed LIVE on Sunday in Paris.
(www.francemusique.fr/)
The other one happens to be yet another Met broadcast. On Monday evening at 7:25, the Met's FREE live audio-stream features Gounod's "Romeo & Juliette."
(www.metopera.org/)
Enjoy!
