Tosca (1900) was arguably Puccini's first foray into verismo, the realistic depiction of many facets of real life including violence. The opera is generally considered of major importance in the history of opera because of its many significant features.
Enriched by her strong Greek-American heritage, she was honored to sing the Verdi Requiem, at the foot of Acropolis, at Greece's week-long remembrance of Maria Callas broadcast on Greek National Television.

| Carl Loewe Country : Germany Date of Born: : Nov. 30, 1796 City: : Löbejün, Germany Info: [ show or hide ] Born: November 30, 1796 - Löbejün, Germany Died: April 20, 1869 - Kiel, Germ Johann Carl Gottfried Löwe (usually written Loewe in English), was a German composer, baritone singer and conductor. In his lifetime, his songs were well enough known for some to call him the "Schubert of North Germany", and Hugo Wolf came to admire his work. He is lesser known today, but a number of his 400 or so songs are still occasionally performed. We are featring his setting of Goethe's Erl King (via You Tube) which we find not only to be very fine in its own right but is also important to those familiar with the very famous Franz Schubert version of the same text. We hope to also have again the Fischer Dieskau (as here) video of the Schubert. Note that the date of birth of Loewe was just a few months before that of Schubert but that he lived more than twice as long. All of this is why we but him in this Schubert album. |
