I really would like to get Christo...I am SO there. I really would like to get Christopher Hailey to sign my copy of his great Schreker biography, which I've read a couple of times and constantly dip in to.<br /><br /><i>An enormous amount of this music [snip] is great and capable of speaking to us urgently and eloquently today</i><br /><br />My favorite Schreker factoid is this: ca. 1921, his three big operas --<i>Der Ferne Klang, Die Gezeichneten</i> and my favorite, <i>Der Schatzgraber</i>, were performed more often in German speaking Europe than the operas of Strauss. That's the Strauss of <i>Salome, Elektra, Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos</i> and <i>Frau</i>!<br /><br />Leon Botstein is doing the American stage premiere of <i>Der Ferne Klang</i> at Bard in August, time for another trip to ravishing upstate New Yawk. Nice time to be a Schrekerite these days!Henry Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871451112170286316noreply@blogger.com
