Musica proibita (Gastaldon) - 8 tenores

~.
.
.
khankonchak — 12 de Fevereiro de 2008 — Mario Lanza (1921-1959)

"Musica proibita"(Gastaldon). Recorded June 20, 1952, for The Mario Lanza Show, with studio orchestra conducted by Constantine Callinicos.

Here is the Youtube debut of Lanza's much sought after Coca-Cola Show "Musica proibita"! His only other recording was on the 1959 RCA Caruso Favorites album- not a favorite of mine. Although some are rather fond of it, to my ears the latter release finds him thick and sluggish of voice, the singing somewhat labored.

This early rendition, on the other hand, offers prime Lanza and allows us to savor the tenor's beautiful mezza voce (also much in evidence in his "Non ti scordar di me" of the same year, which I've posted as well).

Musica proibita

Language: Italian
.
.

Ogni sera di sotto al mio balcone
Sento cantar una canzone d'amore,
Più volte la ripete un bel garzone
E battere mi sento forte il core.

Oh quanto è dolce quella melodia!
Oh com' è bella, quanto m' è gradita!

Ch'io la canti non vuol la mamma mia:
Vorrei saper perché me l'ha proibita?
Ella non c'è  ed io la vo' cantare
La frase che m'ha fatto palpitare:

Vorrei baciare i toui capelli neri,
Le labbra tue e gli occhi tuoi severi,
Vorrei morir con te, angel di Dio,
O bella innamorata tesor mio.

Qui sotto il vidi ieri a passeggiare,
E lo sentiva al solito cantar:

Vorrei baciare i tuoi capelli neri,
Le labbra tue e gli occhi toui severi!
Stringimi, o cara, stringimi al tuo core,
Fammi provar l'ebbrezza dell'amor.

Underneath my balcony every evening
I hear a love-song,
Repeated several times be a handsome young man
And it makes my heart beat faster.
O how sweet is that melody!
O how pretty, how I love to hear it!
My mother will not let me sing it,
Though why she would forbid me, I don't know.
Now that she is out I am going to sing
The song that I found so exciting.

I'd like to kiss your raven hair,
Your lips and your solemn eyes;
I would want to die with you, O heavenly angel,
My beautiful beloved, precious jewel.

Yesterday I saw him walking by,
And heard him sing as he always does:
I'd like to kiss your raven hair,
Your lips and your solemn eyes!
Clasp me, darling, clasp me to your heart,
Let me feel the ecstasy of love!

Stanislao Gastaldon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanislao Gastaldon (b. Torino, Italy, April 8, 1861 – d. Florence, Italy, March 6, 1939). Italian composer primarily of light music. Today, however, he is remembered almost exclusively for the operatic aria known popularly as Musica proibita, still one of the most popular pieces of music in Italy. It has been performed and recorded countless times and, indeed, most listeners are not even aware that it is from Gastaldon’s opera Mala Pasqua!, a work from 1890 based on Giovanni Verga’s short story Cavalleria rusticana. That work also provided the raw material for Mascagni’s opera, Cavalleria rusticana. Both Gastaldon’s and Mascagni’s operas were composed to be entered in the same music competition sponsored by the publishing house, Sonzogno, in 1890, a contest eventually won by Mascagni’s work.

.

The aria/song Musica proibita, besides being popular in Italy was the basis for the song "O Promise Me", in the US American musical, Robin Hood, from the 1890s. Gastaldon wrote across a wide variety of music and popular novels and plays. His eclecticism included setting to music in the 1880s some poems by his contemporary Lorenzo Stecchetti (pseudonym of Olindo Guerrini) and, in 1906, one of Dante’s sonnets, Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare, sung by a tenor in the role of Dante, surrounded by scenery depicting Florence of the 14th century.

Stanislao Gastaldon

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Martino Stanislao Luigi Gastaldon (Torino, 8 aprile 1861 – Firenze, 6 marzo 1939) è stato un compositore italiano.

.

Si è laureato in Lettere presso l'Università di Firenze, compiendo poi gli studi musicali a Torino, con Meliani e con A.Creonti. Trasferitosi a Firenze, collaborò in qualità di critico musicale al "Nuovo Giornale".

.

Attualmente è ricordato quasi esclusivamente per l'aria d'Opera conosciuta popolarmente come Musica proibita, che è tuttora uno dei brani musicali italiani più popolari. Quest'aria è stata eseguita ed incisa innumerevoli volte, eppure la maggior parte degli ascoltatori non sa che essa è tratta dall'opera di Gastaldon Mala Pasqua, un lavoro del 1890 ispirato dalla novella Cavalleria rusticana di Giovanni Verga. Tale composizione fu anche di substrato per l'opera Cavalleria rusticana di Pietro Mascagni. Entrambi i musicisti composero la propria opera sullo stesso soggetto, per partecipare ad una competizione della casa editrice Sonzogno, che fu vinta da Mascagni.

.

L'attività di Gastaldon ha spaziato in svariati generi musicali. Il suo eclettismo lo spinse nel 1880 a musicare alcune poesie del suo contemporaneo Lorenzo Stecchetti e nel 1906 a scrivere la musica per il sonetto Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare di Dante Alighieri, cantata da un tenore nel ruolo di Dante, circondato da una scenografia che rappresentava la Firenze del XIV secolo. Scrisse in tutto circa trecento melodie per canto e pianoforte, alcune composizioni per banda, e alcune opere liriche, oltre la già citata Mala Pasqua (rappresentata al Teatro Costanzi di Roma nel 1890), Fatma (non rappresentata), Il Pater dramma lirico in 1 atto (Teatro Manzoni di Milano 1894), Stellina (Firenze 1905), Il sonetto di Dante (Genova 1909) e Il reuccio di Caprilana (Torino 1914).

Curiosità 

Malgrado il testo sia "al femminile", l'aria Musica proibita è stata spesso cantata da cantanti uomini, tra i quali: Tito Gobbi, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Beniamino Gigli e moltissimi altri.

.

L'aria Musica proibita, fu anche la base per la canzone Oh, promise me, contenuta nell'operetta statunitense Robin Hood ^[1], musicata da Reginald De Koven nel 1890, canzone tuttora popolare negli Stati Uniti in occasione dei matrimoni.

Caruso singing La Donna e Mobile from Verdi's Rigoletto for Victor in 1907. The correct playing speed is 75 rpm which I did not know when I uploaded this record. I played it at 78.26 rpm. Some of Caruso's earlier records played at much slower speeds and I have adjusted those postings accordingly.

La donna è mobile
qual piuma al vento
muta d'accento

Sempre un'amabile
leggiadro viso
in pianto e in riso
è menzognero
La donna è mobil
qual piuma al vento
muta d'accento
e di pensier
e di pensier
e di pensier
È sempre misero
chi a lei s'affida
chi le confida
mal cauto il core
Pur mai non sentesi
felice appieno
chi su quel seno
non liba amore
La donna è mobil
qual piuma al vento
muta d'accento
e di pensier

La donna è mobile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

.

For the 1942 Italian film (La donna è mobile), see The Lady Is Fickle.

.

"La donna è mobile" ("Woman is fickle") is the cynical Duke of Mantua's canzone from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto (1851). The inherent irony, of course, is that it is the callous playboy Duke himself who is mobile ("inconstant"). Its reprise in the last act is chilling, as Rigoletto realizes from the sound of the Duke's lively voice coming from within the tavern (offstage), that the body in the sack over which he has grimly triumphed is not that of the Duke after all: Rigoletto had paid Sparafucile, an assassin, to kill the Duke but Sparafucile deceived him by killing Gilda, Rigoletto's beloved daughter, instead.

José Carreras, aged 8, in his first public performance, singing La donna è Mobile on Spanish National Radio (December 1954).

.

The canzone is famous as a showcase for tenors. Raffaele Mirate's performance of the bravura aria at the opera's 1851 premiere was hailed as the highlight of the evening. It has been recorded by Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Juan Diego Flórez, Jussi Björling, Vitas and hundreds of others. Before this song's first public performance (in Venice), it was rehearsed under tight secrecy: a necessary precaution, because it proved to be catchy and soon after its first public performance every gondolier in Venice was singing it.

The music

	La donna è mobile Enrico Caruso sings La donna è mobile (1908)
Problems listening to this file? See media help.

The almost comical-sounding theme of La donna è mobile is introduced immediately, and runs as illustrated (transposed from the original key of B major). The theme is repeated several times in the approximately two minutes it takes to perform the aria, but with the important—and obvious—omission of the last bar. This has the effect of driving the music forward as it creates the impression of being incomplete and unresolved, which it is, having left off not on the tonic or dominant but on the submediant. Once the Duke has finished singing, however, the theme is once again repeated; but this time including the last, and conclusive, bar and finally resolving to the tonic. The song is strophic in form with an orchestral ritornello.

Una furtiva lagrima

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 .

"Una furtiva lagrima" Sung by Enrico Caruso in 1911 for the Victor Talking Machine Company. Problems listening to this file? See media help.

.

Una furtiva lagrima (A furtive tear) is the romanza taken from Act II, Scene VIII of the Italian opera, L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti. It is sung by Nemorino (tenor) when he finds that the love potion he bought to win his dream lady’s heart, Adina, works.

.

Nemorino is in love with Adina, but she isn't interested in a relationship with an innocent, rustic man. To win her heart, Nemorino buys a “love potion” with all the money he has in his pocket. The “love potion” is actually a cheap red wine sold by a traveling con man. But when he sees Adina weeping, he knows that she has fallen in love with him and the “Elixir” works.

One furtive secret tear from her eyes did spring: as if those youths who can be playful it ( or she ) seemed to be envious of. What more searching do I want? What more searching do I want? She loves me! Yes, she loves me, I see it. I see it. Just for an instant the beats of her beautiful heart if I could feel! My sighs if they were mingled for a while with her sighs! The beats, the beats of her heart if I could feel, to fuse my sighs with hers... Heavens! Yes, I could die! I ask for nothing more, nothing. Oh, heavens! Yes, I could, I could die! I ask for nothing more, nothing. Yes, I could die! Yes, I could die of love.

Una furtiva lagrima (A furtive tear) is the romanza from Act II, Scene 2 of the Italian opera, L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love) by Gaetano Donizetti. It is sung by Nemorino (Caruso) when he finds that the love potion he bought to win his dream lady's heart, Adina, works.

The "love potion" is actually a cheap red wine sold by a con business traveler. But when he sees Adina weeping, he knows that she has fallen in love with him and the "Elixir" works.
.
Caruso created the role of Nemorino the first time in February 1901 at La Scala in Milan. The conductor was the famous Toscanini, but the notoriously critical and reserved audience of La Scala did not react at all ... until Caruso started singing - and he basically turned the performance from failure to success. The audience went wild and Caruso was compelled to repeat "Una furtiva lagrima" three times.
.
When Toscanini came back stage to go before the curtain with the artists, he embraced Caruso, then turned to the manager of La Scala, Giulio Gatti-Casazza, and said: "Per dio! Se questo Napoletano continua a cantare così, farà parlare di sè il mondo intero." (By Heaven! If this Neapolitan continues to sing like this, he will make the whole world talk about him.)

To feel the beating of her beautiful heart for just one moment!
To mingle my sighs with hers for just at moment!
Heavens, I could die now, I need nothing more!
