MUSICA 

SERIE COMPOSITORES DE VENEZUELA  - 5 / 7   

               
                 ALDEMARO ROMERO  ( 1928 - 2007 )


La genialidad del Maestro Aldemaro Romero nace en su amor por las profundas raíces de la musicalidad del país, el cual fue descubriendo y cultivando en casi todas los géneros : folklore, popular, baile de salón, música ligera, jazz, onda nueva y clásica. Su talento natural fue marcando pauta musical para todos los gustos del público en general.

La inquietud por encontrar nuevas formas musicales siempre le acompañaron durante toda la vida. La influencia de sus composiciones se ha hecho sentir con el paso del tiempo, destacando los ritmos criollos y melodías criollas como base elemental en sus creaciones. Pudiese pensarse que fue un adelantado a su época.

Su legado resalta en la historia musical de Venezuela, al dejar pendiente la publicación de unas 80 obras, muchas inéditas, lo cual es una tarea pendiente por llevarse a cabo por las nuevas generaciones.  Los temas musicales de Aldemaro Romero se encuentran entre los más versionados tanto en el campo popular, folclórico o sinfónico. Realmente la figura de Aldemaro Romero se proyecta en el tiempo.

Por tanto amor por Venezuela y a su gente, le dedicamos el inicio de la Segunda Serie de Compositores Venezolanos.

Gracias Maestro Aldemaro Romero !!!

MUSIC - SERIES OF CONDUCTORS ( 3 / 7 ) - WILHELM FURTWÄNGLER (1886 - 1954 )

 MUSIC 


SERIES OF CONDUCTORS  ( 3 / 7 )

                   WILHELM FURTWÄNGLER (1886 - 1954 )

Considered by many musical experts as one of the greatest Conductors in history, we invite you to listen to his unique style. Although difficult to compare to modern days when video helps to see the performances in a broad sense, anyone can perceive his quality as Conductor.

He was an exponent of a subjective and hyper-expressive way of understanding orchestral interpretation, and one of those who best knew how to express the epic grandeur and internalised emotion of the great pages of the Germanic Romantic and late-Romantic repertoire, of which he was an undisputed master. Many critics and commentators consider him among the greatest conductors in history.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Heinrich Ernst Martin Wilhelm Furtwängler (UK: /ˈfʊərtvɛŋɡlər/ FOORT-veng-glər, US: /-vɛŋlər/-⁠lər, German: [ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈfʊɐ̯tvɛŋlɐ]; 25 January 1886 – 30 November 1954) was a German conductor and composer. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest symphonic and operatic conductors of the 20th century. He was a major influence for many later conductors, and his name is often mentioned when discussing their interpretative styles.[1]

Furtwängler was principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic between 1922 and 1945, and from 1952 until 1954. He was also principal conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra (1922–26), and was a guest conductor of other major orchestras including the Vienna Philharmonic.

Although not an adherent of Nazism,[2] he was the leading conductor to remain in Germany during the Nazi regime. Despite his open opposition to antisemitism and the ubiquity of Nazi symbolism, the regime did not seek to suppress him, at Joseph Goebbels' insistence, for propaganda reasons. This situation caused lasting controversy, and the extent to which his presence lent prestige to Nazi Germany is still debated.

Life and career

Wilhelm Furtwängler was born in Schöneberg (now a district/borough of Berlin) into a prominent family. His father Adolf was an archaeologist, his mother a painter.[note 1] Most of his childhood was spent in Munich, where his father taught at the city's Ludwig Maximilian University. He was given a musical education from an early age, and developed an early love of Ludwig van Beethoven, a composer with whose works he remained closely associated throughout his life.

Although Furtwängler achieved fame chiefly from his conducting, he regarded himself foremost as a composer. He began conducting in order to perform his own works. By age of twenty, he had composed several works. However, they were not well received, and that, combined with the financial insecurity of a career as a composer, led him to concentrate on conducting. He made his conducting debut with the Kaim Orchestra (now the Munich Philharmonic) in Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony. He subsequently held conducting posts at Munich, Strasbourg, Lübeck, Mannheim, Frankfurt, and Vienna.

Furtwangler succeeded Artur Bodanzky as principal conductor of the Mannheim Opera and Music Academy in 1915, remaining until 1920. As a boy he had sometimes stayed with his grandmother in Mannheim. Through her family he met the Geissmars, a Jewish family who were leading lawyers and amateur musicians in the town.[3] Berta Geissmar wrote, "Furtwängler became so good at [skiing] as to attain almost professional skill...Almost every sport appealed to him: he loved tennis, sailing and swimming...He was a good horseman..."[4] She also reports that he was a strong mountain climber and hiker

Berta Geissmar subsequently became his secretary and business manager, in Mannheim and later in Berlin, until she was forced to leave Germany in 1935.[5] From 1921 onwards, Furtwängler shared holidays in the Engadin with Berta and her mother. In 1924 he bought a house there. After he married, the house was open to a wide circle of friends.[6]

In 1920 he was appointed conductor of the Berlin Staatskapelle succeeding Richard Strauss. In January 1922, following the sudden death of Arthur Nikisch, he was appointed to the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Shortly afterwards he was appointed to the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, again in succession to Nikisch.[7] Furtwängler made his London debut in 1924, and continued to appear there before the outbreak of World War II as late as 1938, when he conducted Richard Wagner's Ring.[2] (Furtwängler later conducted in London many times between 1948 and 1954). In 1925 he appeared as guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, making return visits in the following two years.[2]

In January 1945 Furtwängler fled to Switzerland. It was during this period that he completed what is considered his most significant composition, the Symphony No. 2 in E minor. It was given its premiere in 1948 by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Furtwängler's direction and was recorded for Deutsche Grammophon.

Following the war, he resumed performing and recording, and remained a popular conductor in Europe, although his actions in the 1930s and 40s were a subject of ongoing criticism. He died in 1954 in Ebersteinburg, close to Baden-Baden. He is buried in the Heidelberg Bergfriedhof.


Style as Conductor

Furtwängler had a unique conducting technique. Videos show his awkward, ungainly movements as if he were a medium in a trance. His gestures seem to bear little relation to the musical rhythm, while his physical movements were described as that of a 'puppet on a string' by one of the musicians in the orchestra. Despite this, or perhaps because of this unorthodox style, the musicians were mesmerised by his conducting. His best performances are characterised by a deep, bass-driven sonority, lyrical flight and strong extremes of emotion coexisting with logic. 

His readings of Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and Wagner are famous. However, he also supported the music of the 20th century and was known for conducting the premieres of modern works, such as the Concerto for Orchestra by Béla Bartók, Paul Hindemith, Arnold Schönberg, Hans Pfitzner and Richard Strauss, among others.
