Arthur Preuss & Elise Elizza - Libiamo ne' lieti calici

Arthur Preuss (1878-1944) was one of the finest character tenors of the early 20th century. Born the son of a merchant in Königsberg, Preuss wanted to be a singer from childhood. The boy’s father supported his son’s singing ambitions and sent him to Berlin to study at the tender age of fifteen. During this period of study, Preuss was heard by renowned composer and conductor Gustav Mahler, who was greatly impressed by the young tenor’s singing. Mahler secured an engagement for Preuss at the Vienna Hofoper, where the young tenor took on such buffo roles as David in Die Meistersinger, Monostatos in Die Zauberflöte, Pedrillo in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Leopold in La Juive, Beppe in Pagliacci, the Marquis in Zar und Zimmerman, Baba Mustafa in Der Barbier von Bagdad and others. While working under Mahler at the Hofoper, Preuss was an invaluable member of the company, singing over 100 performances each season. The tenor participated in ten premieres, including first Vienna performances of Madama Butterfly (Goro) and Der Rosenkavalier (Valzacchi). Preuss left the Hofoper in February of 1915 following a personal clash with director Hans Gregor. He sang for a few years at the Vienna Volksoper and made a handful of guest appearances at the Staatsoper. By the mid-1920s, Preuss began participating in early radio broadcasts, including transmissions of complete operas. The tenor’s lyric tone had darkened somewhat, allowing him to essay such roles as Max in Der Freischütz and the title role in Fra Diavolo. Preuss was also intrigued by the advent of sound films, and lent his acting and singing talents to a few early German talkies. Following his retirement from active performing in 1930, Preuss opened a successful singing school in Vienna. The retired tenor continued working with young students throughout the 1930s and into the war years. Although he was largely neutral in his political leanings, Preuss’ son was active in the anti-Nazi resistance movement in Czechoslovakia. On August 20, 1944, the elder Preuss was arrested by the Gestapo and interrogated as to his son’s activities. Although he does not seem to have been physically abused by his captors, the emotional strain proved too much for the sixty-six-year-old tenor. In the midst of the lengthy interrogation, Preuss collapsed to the floor, dead from an apparent heart attack.

Arthur Preuss made a few discs for G&T and the Gramophone Company in the early years of the 20th century. These recordings reveal a voice that was well suited to both character parts and leading lyric tenor roles. Although Preuss easily transitioned from the comic roles of Pagliacci and Abduction From the Seraglio to the romantic leads of La Traviata and Merry Wives of Windsor, his was essentially a buffo tenor…albeit a very attractive and expressive buffo tenor. In this recording, Preuss joins soprano Elise Elizza (1870-1926) for a German language version of "Libiamo" from Act I of Verdi's La Traviata. This was recorded for G&T in 1904.

I would like to use a recording of Libiamo (aka Brindisi or Champagne aria from La traviata) for a short video for my TV production course. Anyone have any suggestions?

Last week i was felt light headed. I looked up the calici virus i have for a 2 weeks now. I eat low fat food and i didn't threw up. Today me and my mom went to the doctor. I got told that i can eat but, with levels. He told my mom she is fine. We went to the pharmacy for my medicine and to the mall to buy food. We ate some pastry. After that we bought books. I was super happy because, my Dork diaries book collection is complete. My mom felt sick a little so, we came home. I will be taking the medicine and after my coughing stop and i organized my place i, will go back to school and, make an appointment with a phycologist.

Feeling: Happy and Hopeful

Ho imparato a non forzare, a non forzare più niente.

Adesso lascio che le cose si lascino per corso naturale,

lascio che le persone mi lascino, lascio lasciarmi.

Non forzo più, non mi metto più in mezzo.

Con l’età ci si ammorbidisce,

merito anche del vento che si prende in faccia, leviga e smussa.

Non forzo un amore, ognuno è libero di scappare via

dai miei battiti cardiaci buoni, non forzo più un brindisi,

tutte le feste possono benissimo alzare i calici lontane dai miei auguri.

Non forzo più, non forzo più niente,

adesso scorro. Segni particolari: fiume.

La corsa cieca del sangue

ora gioca sull’inguine.

Acerba fiamma nascente

tra le cosce di sale.

Reclama nudità.

Brucia sotto i vestiti stretti.

Cresce ed evolve.

Soli che si accavallano.

Il calore di mille estati

che si sommano.

S’apre il fiore carnivoro,

trappola di miele.

La fusione delle bocche

caldi calici di euforie alcoliche

tra profumi selvatici

nei percorsi segreti della pelle

E i tuoi occhi, più di tutto,

prima di ogni cosa,

profondamente dentro.

Jestem padnięta...

Mój mózg już w sobotę miał takie "nope" na wszystko co się działo. Wszystkie było za dużo, za bardzo, za, za, za. W niedzielę jechałam na zajęcia z myślą, że muszę się zebrać w sobie i odbębnić zaliczenia. Bo nawet niespecjalnie przyjmowałam treści - jednym uchem wchodziło, drugim wychodziło. I wszystko irytowało. Szczęście takie, ze miałam fantastyczne zajęcia z fantastycznymi ludźmi i się wciągnęłam, ale prawdę mówić mój mózg nie pamięta. Wszystko zlewa się w hałas po prostu...

W niedzielę wieczorem O. zabrał mnie na koncert-niespodziankę. Byłam padnięta... ale słuchanie muzyki spowodowało, że szczerzyłam zęby od ucha do ucha tak silnie, że kolejnego dnia miałam zakwasy od uśmiechu. Dawno tak szeroko i tak długo, tak intensywnie się nie uśmiechałam. Muzyka operowa i język włoski - dla mojego partnera pierwsze zetknięcie z Operą i najbardziej go cieszyło, że Włosi śpiewają po włosku, a on rozumie tak 40% tego o czym śpiewają.

We mnie muzyka wywołała ten sam efekt, co masaże dźwiękiem misami: całe ciało mi drżało jeszcze dłuuuuugo później. Miałam problem by zasnąć (mimo tego, że od nagromadzenia stresu, deadlinów i przebodźcowania wydarzeniami i informacjami byłam padnięta, z oczami opuchniętymi, zmęczona tak baaaardzo) - przez tę muzykę jakbym była naelektryzowana. Po prostu WOW. Jeden z tenorów miał taką miękkość i zarazem szorstkość w głosie, że przeszywały mnie dreszcze, gdy śpiewał. I było to zarazem zaskakujące i zarazem przyjemne.

Wróciliśmy do domu rozprawiając o "Tosce" (jakoś aż do wczoraj nigdy nie była na moim radarze, nie znam tych utworów, a były piękne) i "La Traviacie" (nadal uważam te Operę za najbardziej rozczarowującą i zachwycającą na jakiej byłam - przy czym “Libiamo, ne’ lieti calici” to nadal największy fun zarówno dla widowni i dla performancerów, ale ten radosny utwór daje straszliwie mylne wyobrażenie o tym czego może dotyczyć cała Opera xD) i prowadząc seri-serio rozmowę o estetyce najnowszego desingerskiego warszawskiego potworka o którym zaskakująco często ostatnio rozmawiam z równymi ludźmi - o budynku Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie. Początkowo widziałąm tylko zdjęcia i filmy z wnętrz i nie rozumiałam o co ten szum. A w niedzielę wieczorem zobaczyłam elewacje i bryły i mnie naprawdę wzięło krindżem. No to mamy to - mamy nasz odpowiednik szklanej piramidy z Luwru...

A w poniedziałek... ech.

Zapierol...

Dziś... zapierdol... już warczę i krzyczę na ludzi. Nie wspomnę o tym, że lekko mówiąc średnio sypiam, bo mam wciąż koszmary... więc dziś biorę sobie wolne na resztę dnia, bo nie wyrobię. I chyba zrezygnuję całkiem z tego kursu druku 3D - nie dam rady tego zadowalająco ciągnąć jednocześnie robiąc projekt, pracując, studiując, ogarniając zdrowie mojego psa, swoje, jakieś podstawowe potrzeby jak gotowanie, zmywanie, pranie...

Trudna to decyzja, ale chyba najlepsza możliwa w obecnej chwilii.

[ars-solitudine]

e abbiamo bevuto senza sete, toccando i calici nel segno del brindisi. A me, a lui, a chi ti viene a cercare anche quando ti nascondi.
