By mid June all the trees here in the Connecticut river valley will be
in the splendor of full leaf. Richard Strauss’ Daphne (1938) maintains a
three hundred year old tradition of lyric stage works inspired by the
ancient Greek myth about the beautiful maiden who was turned into a
tree. Handel’s cantata Apollo e Dafne is but an example along the
timeline. Strauss’ Dafne is styled a “bucolic tragedy” in one long act.
It emphasizes the interplay of light and darkness and the contrast
between the light of the sun as opposed to that of the moon. Indeed, the
sun god desires the nymph Daphne. Her reluctance to return his love
causes her to be changed into a laurel plant whose leaves will crown the
heads of poets and heroes. Our recorded performance of Daphne was given
at the opening of the 1964 Vienna Festival. Many famous German or
Austrian singers took part. Karl Boehm directs the Vienna State Opera
Chorus and Vienna Symphony Orchestra. You’ll hear the same Deutsche
Gramophone LP’s I broadcast exactly sixteen years ago.

There will be time remaining to listen to a year 2002 Finnish Ondine
recording, made in co-production with Deutschland Radio, of Richard
Strauss’ musical apotheosis, the vier letzte Lieder (1948), for soprano
with orchestral accompaniment. Richard Strauss married soprano Pauline
Ahna and over a period of decades composed many songs, some scored for
full orchestra, with his wife’s voice in mind. The young Finnish soprano
Soile Isokoski essays these “Four Last Songs,” completed just before
Strauss died. Accompanying her is the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Marek Janowski.

Dir. de Antonino Votto
* Morning Performance
Artist in Focus: Heather Harper
Humphrey Burton talks to the soprano Heather Harper about her
involvement in two significant musical occasions.
There is a rare chance to hear part of the premiere of Britten's War
Requiem, recorded in 1962 as part of a festival celebrating the
consecration of the new cathedral in Coventry, following the destruction
of the original building during the war.
And Benjamin Britten himself conducts another glittering cast of singers
and instrumentalists at the concert given to celebrate the Royal Gala
opening of the Snape Maltings concert hall, featuring Handels Ode for St
Cecelia's Day.

Thanks so much for your reminders of webcasts.
I am having trouble locating when exactly Therese Raquin is on. I`m a huge
Barstow fan and don`t want to miss it! I am also acquainted with Josephine`s
best friend and I`m sure neither of them will want to miss it either. Please
help a.s.a.p.!!!
Many, many thanks
