Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Genaux (x2), Sampson, Rice, and Connolly

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.

Vivica Genaux and Valer Sabadus sing a selection of baroque “scenes and arias” in a concert with the Academia Montis Regalis recorded earlier this year. Saturday, December 1 on Kulturradio-RBB.

Brit favorites Carolyn Sampson and Christine Rice are among the soloists for the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Live broadcast scheduled for Saturday, December 1 on WCRB. NOTE: Although the broadcast starts at 7:30 p.m. on December 1 local (Boston) time, it is listed in the wee hours of December 2 on World Concert Hall, which expresses all times in GMT.

Vivica Genaux stars in the Pinchgut Opera production of Hasse’s Artaserse along with David Hansen, Carlo Vistoli, et al. Sunday, December 2 on ABC Classic FM. (Note that because this show is being broadcast from Australia, the start time falls in the morning in Europe and in the middle of the night in the Americas.)

Laura Aikin, Sarah Connolly, Steve Davislim, and Hanno Müller-Brachmann are the soloists in a performance of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with Le Concert Olympique. The concert was recorded November 21 in Antwerp. Deferred broadcast Monday, December 3 on Klara.

Farinelli’s composers: L E O N A R D O   V I N C I  (1690 or 1696 -1730)

Leonardo Vinci was an Italian composer, best known for his operas. His music exerted a direct influence on many composers of the next generation, notably Pergolesi and Hasse, and also made an impact on older composers such as Vivaldi and Handel, whose later works incorporate elements of the style of Vinci and his colleagues. He was the first composer of international repute to cultivate the periodic treatment of melody.

Vinci entered the Conservatorio dei Poveri di Gesu Cristo in Naples in 1708 as a convittore, paying 36 ducats a year, but after three years this fee was waived; apparently he was by then earning his keep as a mastricello or student teacher. After ten years of study he left and for a short time served as maestro di cappella to Prince Sansevero. Vinci made his operatic début in 1719 at the Teatro dei Fiorentini in Naples with the commedia per musica Lo cecato fauzo, enthusiastically reviewed in the Avvisi di Napoli. Vinci’s first operas were of the commedia per musica type, full-length comic operas with texts primarily in Neapolitan dialect. His Li zite’ngalera, from carnival 1722, is the earliest surviving score of a Neapolitan commedia. Vinci produced his first serious opera, Publio Cornelio Scipione, at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples in November 1722; it was so successful that he turned primarily to the dramma per musica. In 1724 Vinci secured his first commission outside Naples, setting Lucchini’s Farnace for the Teatro delle Dame in Rome. Roman theatres were closed for the Holy Year in 1725, but Vinci wrote two new operas for the Teatro San Giovanni Grisostomo in Venice that year; their success probably led to a commission for a new opera at Parma in the spring involving the same composer and principals. Vinci’s activity reached a peak during winter 1725-26 when three new operas were produced: Astianatte in Naples in December, Didone abbandonata in Rome in January and Siroe re di Persia in Venice in February. The last two were the first of a series of successful collaborations between Vinci and Metastasio. Vinci’s success seems to have been challenged by his older colleague Porpora. Productions of operas by the two men in Venice and Rome fuelled a rivalry which, according to Burney, dated back to their youth. During the 1729-30 season Vinci was one of the impresarios at the Teatro delle Dame, as well as its principal composer. In the latter capacity he collaborated with Metastasio on three major works: the serenata La contesa de numi, and the operas Alessandro nell’Indie and Artaserse at the Teatro delle Dame. During the same season Porpora presented two operas at the Teatro Capranica in Rome; according to Marpurg, Vinci, fearful of Porpora’s challenge, resorted to sabotage in an attempt to crush his rival. Vinci’s machinations were hardly necessary, as both his operas became celebrated examples of the dramma per musica.

According to De Brosses, the Italians “did not want to see again any piece that they have already seen another year, unless it is some excellent opera by Vinci”. Vinci did not live to enjoy his success. He died in Naples amid rumours that he had been poisoned because of an illicit love affair.

Update: as of today, that link now works. I can’t find information about how long it will be up, but for the moment it’s listenable.

Excellent! Thanks for the alert! I’m listening now.

To save people from digging through the chain of replies, we’re talking about audio from a live broadcast of the Pinchgut Opera production of Hasse’s Artaserse, now available on demand on the ABC Classic FM website. Vivica Genaux, David Hansen, and Carlo Fristoli lead the cast.
