'Où suis-je?' / 'Alceste' * Gluck * JANET BAKER * LIVE!
From 'Alceste': Act 1, Scene 5. Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, 12 December 1981. SEE BELOW FOR LYRICS. (A big Thank You to agnesrobert for corrections to the French text! 2-14-11) This opera was 1 of 3 (the others being Donizetti's 'Mary Stuart' at English National Opera and Gluck's 'Orfeo ed Euridice' at Glyndebourne) that Dame Janet Baker performed as a farewell to the operatic stage (altho' concert recitals continued for a few more years). This is also the only recording that documents her singing this most demanding part--she sings almost throughout the entire evening, proof of her great stamina--and more than meets the dramatic exigencies of the role. In this scene, Alceste, Queen of Thessaly, ponders the fate of her gravely ill husband, King Admetus, whom the oracle at the temple of Apollo has said will die -- unless someone else sacrifices his or her own life for the King's. She agonises on whether she will give her life for that of her husband. (Part 1 of 2 in this final segment of Act 1.) Alceste . . .

Alceste Gluck Overtura Furtwangler (audio y partitura)
Overtura de la ópera "Alceste" (ó Alcestes) de Christoph Willibald Gluck, estrenada en 1779 (la versión francesa que disponemos a continuación y en 1767 la primera versión) Director: Wilhelm Furtwangler Orquesta: Filarmónica de Berlín, 1952 Para los oídos vírgenes, principalmente, y para todos los curiosos ofrecemos a continuación la overtura más importante de Gluck (según mi parecer por supuesto). Todo aquél novato de la música que no conoce lo que es un disco de vinilo (por eso lo de oídos vírgenes), tiene la oportunidad de apreciar aquí lo que es una grabación con gran amplitud y dinámica sonora (algo que no es posible obtener en la mayoría de los sistemas de grabación digital actuales llámense cd, dvd, etc.). Para lograr el mejor efecto sonoro, por supuesto, no hay nada mejor que Gluck con su Overtura Alcestes obtenido de un disco de vinilo quien nos hará poner los pelos de punta y erizar hasta incluso la piel de nuestra mente. Es que justamente la historia de Alcestes es algo lleno de un dramatismo intenso en el que las decisiones extremas están presentes en su hilación más aguda. Mito de Alcestes. Irrumpir en esta historia es como entrar en una sala repleta de personajes principales, donde cada cual representa un rol o papel cual más dramático que el otro. Pero en definitiva el dueño de la pelota en la historia es la más hermosa de las hijas de rey Pelías: Alcestes. Alcestes ofrece su vida a los dioses a cambio de la de su esposo Admeto, quien estaba gravemente <b>...</b>
