Masters of Flute Music
Playing flute musicis not as easy as it seems. However soothing and relaxing it is to listen to, this type of music demands a higher form of musical genius to perfect--in fact, that is exactly it: for the flute to give off such immaculate sound, the player should have mastered full control of the instrument before being able to produce the distinctive quality of its sound.
The techniques in playing the flute involve discipline and delicacy, in contrast to the aggression we find in the way other instruments are played, say, the electric guitar or the drums. And so, only those who have a sharp sense of musicality can effectively and expressively play it.
Ironically, flutists are not as well known as their counterparts in popular music. If you mention the guitar, you have Slash. If you mention the drums, you have Joey Jordison. If you mention the bass guitar, you have Flea. Now what if you mention flute? …
Yes, as expected, awkward silence.
So if you are an aspiring flute player, here are some of the names that you could check and see how they have been just as influential in their own right.
Johann Joachim Quantz
Quantz is among the first ever professional flute players in 18th-century Europe. He was first an oboist--in the esteemed Dresden court ensemble, no less--before he engaged in playing the flute. He travelled parts of the globe, particularly, Italy, France, and England, to widen his knowledge about the instrument. Several years later he served as the personal musician of Frederick the Great of Prussia, composing, performing, and making flutes for the king. He was also responsible for drumming up a new kind of awareness for the flute in Europe through the publication of his essay in 1752. He wrote over 300 concertos and sonatas that, sadly, were not published but were listed in catalogs made by Horst Augsbach.
Claude-Paul Taffanel
One of the most remarkable revolutionaries when it comes to flute music, Taffanel is an important figure in making flute music dynamic and expressive. There was once a philosophy that the flute should always be concerned only about tone quality and not amplification. Taffanel challenged this and defined a sound that was regarded as "powerful and brassy," "ample" or "full." Too, he also approached the vibrato differently. He discouraged it, but then later on stated, through his student Adolphe Hennebains, that it should come directly "from the heart or soul."
Julius Baker
Barker is one of the most highly regarded flute players of the modern era. His dexterity with the flute is just as encompassing as his experiences in being a prestigious flute player. Great conductors like Leonard Bernstein, Leopold Stokowski, Fritz Reiner and Bruno Walter have handpicked him to lead their orchestras. Too, he has immensely contributed to respected ensembles like the Cleveland Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Columbia Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic to name a few. He also worked as a consultant for flutes for the Yamaha Corporation of America and a flute teacher who helped start the careers of Paula Robison, Jeffrey Khaner, Gary Schocker, and many others, all of which have been a success in the field of creating wonderful flute music.
About the Author
SALOME: by R. Strauss; FINAL scene; your thoughts-feelings; best recorded or live performanc(s);psych-analysis
Although Wagner's operas(music-dramas)are my favorites, Strauss's "Salome" and "Der Rosenkavalier" are right up there along with them.
Strauss's characterization, musical portrayal of Salome, is in my opinion, his supreme operatic achievement. He and his librettist's depiction of her, are admittedly, fantastical; but how enthralling, sickening, yet spell-bindingly hypnotizing.
Love? Abhor? Endlessly fascinating? Disgusting?
What's your assessment? What, which are your preferences of the artist and conductorial interpretations: recorded or live?
The one that most deeply affected me, was by Fritz Reiner when he was with the Met, and I think she was a Hungarian soprano, Ljuba Welitsch(had to look-up the spelling for her).
One word: magnificent.
And please, only thoughtful, meaningful responses: no "off the top of my head".
Wotan
Gustav Mahler was firmly convinced that Salome was one of the greatest masterpieces of his time.
Mahler´s verdict was not only perceptive but courageous and it has been proved right, for Salome remains one of the most exciting and compelling experiences the operatic stage has to offer.
The subject of Salome was suggested to Strauss by a young Viennese writer, Anton Lindner. It was a subject which appealed strongly in the fin de siècle artistic climate, for its combinaton of the biblical, erotic and murderous.
Today we are not shocked by Salome but we are still stunned and astounded by the audacity and excitement of the score, the cunning way in which it depicts the depravity of its main characters and yet remains predominantly lyrical, with many passages of the utmost delicacy and restraint.
Strauss' imaginative invention in Salome is at its most potent in the closely detailed dramatic characterisations.
Ljuba Welitsch was undoubtedly the Salome of her time, she recorded it live twice with Reiner (what a marvelous Straussian) in New York and with Beecham in London.
I would also recommend the Clemens Krauss with Cristel Goltz, Georg Solti with Birgit Nilsson and Herbert von Karajan with Hildegard Behrens. We can enjoy a live recording of the legendary Leonie Rysanek under Karl Böhm in the Vienna Opera.
