Countermelody celebrates its landmark 100th episode with a tribute to the artist that is my ne plus ultra, the Italian soprano Claudia Muzio (1889-1936). What better artist to salute on this occasion, as her voice is heard at the top of every episode of the podcast, and her beautiful presence graces the Countermelody logo. I discuss my theory that each individual listener has a singer whose voice penetrates to the core of their being. For me, as for many others, Claudia Muzio is that singer. I explore her recorded legacy, which falls into three distinct periods recording for three distinct record companies. In the case of “L’altra notte,” the classic aria from Arrigo Boito’s Mefistofele, Muzio left three different recordings, one from each period. I examine these, and many of her other roles, in my attempt to plumb the depths of the Muzio mystique. Incidentally, there is a special bonus episode on Muzio that has been concurrently published for my Patreon supporters. What better time to celebrate this artist, and this occasion, than by signing up to become a monthly supporter on Patreon? (www.patreon.com/countermelody)The episode begins with a tribute to the late Italian dramatic tenor Giuseppe Giacomini, who died this past week at the age of 80.Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Ars canendi - Piedras miliares: Claudia Muzio (II) - 02/05/21

Primero de los programas que vamos a dedicar a esta eximia soprano italiana de corta vida (1889-1936), de la que hoy en día no se sabe gran cosa. Pero fue una artista impar, una exquisita fraseadora, una sensible decidora, una perfeccionista, una dominadora del aire, que sabía convertir en casi inaudibles suspiros. Y al tiempo, con un instrumento no monumental de aliento algo corto, una trágica verdadera, una comunicadora de altos vuelos. Contamos sus andanzas artísticas, analizamos su voz y estilo y la escuchamos en interpretaciones imperecederas –es cierto que casi siempre de deficiente sonido- de arias como Addio del passatto de La traviata, Vissi d’arte de Tosca, La mamma morta de Andrea Chénier, Si, mi chiamano Mimi de La bohème, Balatella de Pagliacci y Tacea la notte placida de Il trovatore Escuchar audio
