  9. Book Review: The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare


    Author: William Shakespeare
    Title: The Merry Wives of Windsor
    Publication Info: New York : Washington Square Press, 2004. [written circa 1597]
    Summary/Review:

    Sir John Falstaff is back, this time thrust into the center of madcap comedy and romance. Seeking money as always, he sends identical notes attempting to woo married women, Alice Ford and Margaret Page.  They catch on to his Falstaff’s plan and conspire to go along with meeting him in order to play trick on him.  Unaware of the plotting, Frank Ford becomes exceedingly jealous of his wife and goes about in disguise.  And while all of this happening, three men court the Page’s daughter Anne but she only desires one of them, a gentleman named Fenton.

    This is one of three plays featuring Falstaff, but scholars are uncertain whether this play was written before or after Henry IV, part 2.  I haven’t read that one yet, but of the two I’ve read, I can’t say that I particularly like Falstaff.  I mean,  I know he’s  rogue, but he’s not even a funny one.  And the comic hijinks of this play don’t feel up to Shakespeare’s best.  The legend is that he wrote it quickly on the request of Queen Elizabeth to create a play about Falstaff in love, and it feels like a rush job.

    It’s still better than The Two Gentlemen of Verona, but otherwise it doesn’t rank highly in the Bard’s oeuvre for me.

  17. Episode 269 – Cutting Tiles, Dream og Henriaden

    Vi kommer en dag tidligere, så I kan nå at høre os på pinsefridagen. This is the big one, Vi tager tre Shakespeare-skuespil på én gang og det kræver to kraftige øl. Cutting Tiles og Dream, der hver på sin måde refererer til Henriadens store spillere – de fremmeste af hvilke er Hal og Falstaff, for evigt låst i en kamp imellem fantasi og pragmatisme, hedonisme og pligt, fabuleren og sproglig uformåen. Hvis man ikke kan lide Shakespeare er dette en god en at springe over – for det hele er gamle Shake! I næste uge er det en normal episode, og derudover også et kvarter med Stor Ståhej For Ingenting.

    "Macbeth, 1947

    I've been on some sort of Verdi/Tamagno kick lately and I was trying to return to my normal, light repertoir, but I wanted to listen to an opera for Halloween. I immediately thought of McBeth, which I hadn't heard yet, only to discover that it was written by Verdi! It's just one of those weeks.

    Libretto

    operafolio.com/libretto.asp?n=

    Recording

    youtube.com/watch?v=VQVoC7skN9Y

    There really isn't much to say about the libretto. Anyone who has received a good education knows the story of Macbeth, and Verdi follows Shakespeare very closely. But I will say that this is yet another time when the text has no ocr errors and when the Italian and English are easily separated, so I had no problem reading it with my screen reader, NVDA.

    I'm glad that I chose this version because it gave me the chance to hear mostly new (to me) singers. I actually found an article about MARGHERITA GRANDI just prior to hearing this. It was a review of a cd of her music, but part of it was this exact performance. Apparently, recordings by her are rare.

    classicstoday.com/review/revie

    I agree with the author that she had a unique sound and a good range. I could also hear the dramatic and the softer parts as her voice changed. I read somewhere that Lady Macbeth is one of the most difficult roles in opera, but she handled it very well. I did know of Frank Valentino, but mostly because of his background. He was a student of Emilio Piccoli, Schipa's second serious singing teacher, his first being Alceste Gerunda. Valentino went on to become a teacher in America, until the 1970's. At any rate, while I can't describe his voice as beautiful or appealing, for this role, it fit perfectly. His acting was also wonderful, particularly in the dramatic parts. I could feel his emotions, as if he had become Macbeth! I really must add Italo Tajo to my regular rotation. I have heard him in several operas, and each time, I liked him. He will be the second bass to join the group, with the other being Salvatore Baccaloni. I just wish he had a larger part here. New to me were the two tenors, Walter Midgley and Andrew McKinley (Macduff and Malcolm, respectively). I'm very annoyed that I never heard of them, particularly Midgley, who has a beautiful voice! I hope I can find more recordings of them.

    The opera itself was okay. I certainly can't rate it as highly as La Traviata or Rigoletto, but I can't say I didn't like it musically, like Falstaff. It definitely had its moments and Verdi did capture the right mood, given the subject. But part of it dragged. Still, for Halloween, it was a good choice.

    Now, I desperately must return to my bel canto and Romantic operas, preferably with large tenor roles! Can anyone please recommend something? Italian strongly preferred."
