Customer Reviews of Farinelli & Light Orchestral Songs
Music for "blackout nights" during the War During the 1930s and `40s, Wagnerian tenor Lauritz Melchior was the most famous Danish tenor in the world, singing virtually every role Wagner ever wrote worldwide, but in Denmark during the same period a very different kind of tenor was flourishing: Aksel Schiýtz, with his light, silvery voice, high standards of musicianship, excellent command of lieder and wide popularity among his countrymen for his singing of Danish folk and art songs. <
> <
>All of this came to an abrupt end in the fall of 1946 when Schiýtz, suffering from severe headaches and impaired vocal control, was diagnosed with a brain tumor that had to be removed immediately. The operation saved his life but left one side of his face, and vocal muscles, paralyzed. Through sheer hard work he was able to com back, two years later, as a baritone, but though the phrasing and musicianship remained intact the voice no longer had its silvery bloom. He continued to perform and record as a baritone through the late 1950s, then became a teacher of voice and interpretation in Colorado before accepting a similar post in his native Denmark in 1969. He died ten years later. <
> <
>This particular entry in the Schiýtz series concentrates on light music, the kind of material that made him popular with everyday Danes who were not particularly interested in Schubert, Bach, Buxtedhude or even the art-songs of Carl Nielsen. Among the real treasures here are the excerpts from an operetta based on the life of the great castrato Farinelli, though the plot apparently restored his manhood and made him a hot lover, as well as the Cole Porter song "Night and Day" (sung in beautiful English), excerpts from Bernhard Christensen's "jazz oratorios" with The Rhythm Girls, snippets of Danish film songs, and recordings made under the moniker of "The Masked Tenor." All are sung with an artless simplicity and great beauty of tone. <

>None of the cramped, dry LP pressings we all became to familiar with were used here, or indeed in any of the volumes of this series; every single track was lovingly and meticulously restored in London's Abbey Road studios from mint-condition copies of the original 78s or brand-new transfers made from the original metal parts. The results are simply magical, creating a tremendous intimacy between the tenor and listener in a way that is hard to describe unless you hear it for yourself. A shame that most of these CDs are now hard to obtain, but I urge you to get them if you can!
