Richard STRAUSS (1864-1949)
Der Rosenkavalier
Richard Strauss was the most significant German
operatic composer after Richard Wagner and one of the
most influential in this genre during the first two
decades of the twentieth century. His operas Salome
(1905) and Elektra (1909) initially shocked
conservative opera audiences with their supposedly
obscene treatment of biblical and classical subjects. His
next opera, Der Rosenkavalier, to a libretto by Hugo
von Hoffmansthal, in what was to be the second of their
collaborations, was a radical change in both character
and musical language. It would be a 'burlesque opera in
three acts', later revised to read 'comedy with music'. It
was as if Strauss, now aged 47, had decided to turn
away from the raw intensity and dramatic fervour of the
two earlier operas by moving backwards to a genial,
more conservative look back at Viennese life at the end
of the eighteenth century. The young lion had now cast
off his radical youth.
The new opera was a great triumph for both
composer and librettist at its Dresden première on 26th
January 1911, thanks in no small part to the producer,
Max Reinhardt, and within a very short time moved into
the repertoire of the world's principal opera-houses,
where it is has remained. Within the first year Der
Rosenkavalier was given in Berlin, Vienna and Milan,
and, two years later, in London and New York. Strauss
employs a huge orchestra of 112 instruments, including
nineteen for an on-stage ensemble in the third act, but
the opera exemplifies the composer's desire to write a
'Mozart' opera in which the blending of innocent
youthful lovers is contrasted with high and low aspects
of Viennese life. As a conductor Strauss was considered
one of the great Mozart conductors of his time, as can be
witnessed from his recordings of certain of the
composer's symphonies
Interestingly, Strauss composed the three principal
rôles for three sopranos and bass. (The rôle of Oktavian
can be and is now regularly sung by a mezzo-soprano.)
The tenor voice is given slight attention except for the
small part of the Italian Tenor in Act One. The rôle of
the Feldmarschallin is one of the most challenging
interpretatively in the German repertoire, as she is on
stage for whole of the first act. Furthermore Strauss
stated the woman was to be young and beautiful, only
32 years old, but in a bad mood, thinking of herself as
'old'. The young lovers Octavian and Sophie are in their
late teens, while the Marschallin's country-bred cousin
Ochs, a rustic beau of 35. He is not a disgusting, vulgar
monster, and is, after all, a member of the gentry.
Strauss later commented that the whole is 'Viennese
comedy, not Berlin farce'.
The Decca Record Company had begun recording
complete operas in Vienna in June 1950, beginning with
Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail under Josef
Krips. During the following years various other operatic
projects were undertaken with varying success. The
year 1954, however, was significant with two operas by
Richard Strauss being recorded, Salome under Clemens
Krauss in March and Der Rosenkavalier under Erich
Kleiber in June. A total of 22 sessions were set aside for
the latter between 29th May and 28th June. Other purely
orchestral recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic
under both Bohm and Kubelik, however, were also to be
undertaken during this period. Decca's Artistic Director
Maurice Rosengarten had negotiated with the
authorities at the Staatsoper that the singers he wanted
would be those currently used in the then current
production. It was wisely decided that the recording
would be complete, the first time this had occurred.
Victor Olof, Decca's senior recording producer in
London, who had been in charge of all the Company's
activities in Vienna since 1950, would be in overall
charge of the project with one of his new assistants,
James Walker, alongside. The principal engineer would
be Cyril Windebank with Jack Law as his assistant. This
would be the single largest project undertaken by Decca
to date in Vienna, and as it so happened, the last purely
mono-only operatic recording to be made by the
Company in the Austrian capital, then still under Allied
occupation.
The rôle of the Marschallin was taken by the
Viennese-born soprano Maria Reining (1903-1971).
Originally she had planned a career in banking but
began studying singing in her native city after the age of
25. Making her debut at the Staatsoper as a soubrette in
1931, the soprano later moved to Darmstadt (1933-35)
before joining the Staatsoper in Munich in 1935 for two
years. Returning to Vienna, she would continue singing
regularly at the Staatsoper until 1958. She appeared at
the Salzburg Festival between 1937 and 1941 as Eva
(Meistersinger) under Toscanini, Euryanthe, Elisabeth
(Tannhauser) and the Countess (Figaro). She returned
to that festival in 1947 in the title-rôle of Arabella in
1947, followed two years later as the Marschallin, a rôle
she would repeat in 1953. Her overseas appearances
were restricted to Covent Garden in 1938 singing Elsa
(Lohengrin) and in Chicago later that same year as Eva
and Butterfly. Her Marschallin graced the Parisian stage
in 1949, the year in which she appeared in New York at
the City Center Opera, again in the Rosenkavalier rôle
and as Ariadne. She was an admired artist with a wellschooled
voice allied to an elegant and aristocratic stage
manner.
Her Octavian is the Jugoslav-born Austrian soprano
Sena (Srebrencka) Jurinac (born 1921). After study at
the Music Academy in Zagreb she made her debut in
that city as Mimì in La Bohème in 1942, joining the
Vienna State Opera in 1945 when she appeared in the
first post-war performance singing Cherubino in Figaro
under Josef Krips. Her Salzburg Festival debut took
place in 1947, the year she also first appeared in London
with the visiting Vienna Company. The following year
Jurinac sang Dorabella in Così fan tutte with
Glyndebourne Opera at the Edinburgh Festival, which
created a very considerable impression. She also
appeared at La Scala, Milan as Cherubino. From 1951-
56 she sang all the principal Mozart rôles at
Glyndebourne, recording both the Countess in Figaro
and Ilia in Idomeneo. Jurinac sang Oktavian in the
opening performance at the new Grosser Festspielhaus
in 1960 at Salzburg under Karajan, a rôle she later
recorded on film. She appeared regularly in London
between 1959 and 1963 singing Leonore in Fidelio in
Klemperer's production of the opera in 1961. Her
American debut was in the title rôle of Madama
Butterfly in San Francisco in 1959. Sena Jurinac was
generally considered one of the outstanding artists of
her time when her rôles also included Marzelline in
Fidelio, the two Donne (Anna and Elvira) in Don
Giovanni, Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Elisabeth in Don
Carlos and Tannhauser, Jenuºfa, Desdemona in Otello
and Marie in Wozzeck. After retiring from singing she
later gave a series of master-classes in a variety of
European cities, including London.
The Viennese-born soprano Hilde Gueden (1918-
1988) was cast as Sophie. She studied singing (with
Weztelsberger) in addition to piano and dancing at her
native Music Academy, soon appearing at the city's
Volksoper in a small rôle in Robert Stolz's operetta
Servus, servus in 1935. She later sang Cherubino in
Zurich in 1939 and two years later was engaged by the
conductor Clemens Krauss in Munich. It was here that
she first sang Sophie, suggested to her by the composer,
before appearing in Rome in an Italian language
production under Tullio Serafin. After singing Zerlina
in Don Giovanni at the 1946 Salzburg Festival, Gueden
joined the Vienna State Opera later that year. She first
sang in London with the visiting Vienna Company the
following year. Her American debut took place in 1951
at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, as Gilda
in Rigoletto, returning over the ensuing nine seasons as
Susanna, Zdenka, Sophie, Anne Truelove, Mimì,
Micaëla, Rosalinde and Euridice. In 1954 she sang a
dazzling Zerbinetta in Ariadne, followed by Aminta
five years later. During the celebrations for the
centenary of Richard Strauss's birth she sang the titlerôle
of the composer's Daphne to great acclaim. She
returned to London in 1956 as Gilda. Hilde Gueden was
an extremely glamorous and intelligent woman as well
as possessing an attractive stage manner. Her repertoire
included rôles in Britten's The Rape of Lucretia and
Boris Blacher's Rund.
Yet another Viennese-born singer was selected as
Baron Ochs: he was Ludwig Weber (1899-1974). His
singing career came about after he abandoned his
profession as an elementary school teacher when he
discovered his voice, as a member of the Vienna
Oratorio Society, later studying with Alfred Borittau in
1919. His debut at the city's Volksoper was as Fiorello
in Il barbiere di Siviglia in 1920. After contracts in a
variety of smaller German houses, Wuppertal (1925-
27), Düsseldorf (1927-1932) and Cologne (1932-33),
Weber joined the Staatsoper in Munich in 1933,
remaining there until 1945. It was whilst there that he
created the rôle of the Holsteiner in Strauss's
Friedenstag in 1938. His international career began
with appearances in Paris at the Theâtre des Champs-
Elysees under Hoesslin when his first recordings were
made for Pathe. He sang at Covent Garden in 1936,
returning there in 1947 and 1950-51, where his rôles
included Pogner, Gurnemanz, Hunding, Hagen, King
Marke, Daland, Boris and Osmin. He sang all the
principal Wagnerian bass rôles at the Bayreuth Festival
during the years 1951-61 as well as appearing in Milan,
Amsterdam, Brussels and Buenos Aires. Retiring in
1961, Weber taught at the Mozarteum in Salzburg for a
number of years. He possessed a powerful but
beautifully produced bass voice that was used
intelligently. His admirable portrayal of Ochs continues
to be greatly admired.
The singers for the smaller rôles in this recording
were all regular members of the Vienna State Opera. It
is this Company 'feel', blend and teamwork which
contributed so markedly to the success of overall
recording.
The final Viennese-born (but later naturalised
Argentinian) artist to be associated with the famous
recording is the conductor Erich Kleiber (1890-1956).
Originally he trained as a violinist and studied
composition in Vienna, later attending courses on
philosophy and the history of art at Prague University;
he also studied conducting at the Conservatory in that
city. He served as a conductor at the Court Opera in
Darmstadt between 1912 and 1918, followed by
Wuppertal (1919-21), Mannheim (1922-23),
culminating in his appointment as Generalmusikdirecktor
of the State Opera in Berlin between
1923 and 1933. His years there were of particular
importance with premières of Berg's Wozzeck,
Milhaud's Christophe Colomb and the introduction of
Janaček's Jenuº fa and Weinberger's Schwanda the
Bagpiper. He resigned during the later year, following
interference from the new Nazi authorities before the
première of Hindemith's Mathis der Maler, becoming
closely associated with the Teatro Colon in Buenos
Aires from 1937 until 1949. He also guest conducted in
the United States during these years. His Covent Garden
debut was in 1937 when he conducted Der
Rosenkavalier and Der fliegende Hollander. He
returned to this house between 1950 and 1953 to
conduct memorable performances of Tristan und Isolde,
Elektra, The Queen of Spades, Wozzeck and, again,
Rosenkavalier. In 1951 he conducted Verdi's I vespri
siciliani at the Florence May Festival with Maria Callas.
In 1954 he was re-appointed to his Berlin position, prior
to the re-opening of the theatre in September 1955, but
again resigned within a few months, once again because
of political interference, this time from the
Communists. He died in Zurich in January 1956. As a
conductor he was renowned for his rigorous rehearsals,
his eschewal of sentimental indulgence and his minimal
podium exertions. He recorded extensively for a variety
of labels, the last of which was Decca from 1948 until
his death.
As a performance Kleiber's wonderfully integrated
presentation of Rosenkavalier is rightly regarded as a
benchmark for other interpretations, and the
contributions of Jurinac and Weber as outstanding,
whilst that of Gueden is a highly finished portrayal. The
generally perceived view of Maria Reining's
performance is that it was captured slightly too late even
if she was the Viennese Marschallin of the time.
Nevertheless this recording remains one of the
gramophone's major achievements, especially due to
completeness.
