Aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019est en Am\u00e9rique que \u00e7a se passe, puisque c\u2019est vers ce continent que migr\u00e8rent de nombreux artistes europ\u00e9ens, essentiellement allemands et autrichiens, \u00e0 partir de 1933, pour fuir les pers\u00e9cutions nazies : c\u2019est pourquoi on retrouvera dans ces enregistrements am\u00e9ricains certains des chanteurs d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9sents dans le coffrets consacr\u00e9s aux archives europ\u00e9ennes. –Cliquer sur l\u2019image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lohengrin, Siegfried & Parsifal, extraits<\/strong> – Lauritz Melchior, Heldentenor
\nLohengrin – Orch. Metropolitan Opera New York, Fritz Busch – 1947 *****<\/strong><\/span>
\nSiegfried – Orch. Metropolitan Opera New York, Arthur Bodanzky – 1937 *****<\/strong><\/span>
\nParsifal – Philadephia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy – 1938 *****<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ces extraits sont issus d\u2019un coffret retra\u00e7ant abondamment la longue carri\u00e8re de t\u00e9nor de Lauritz Melchior<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, entam\u00e9e comme baryton en 1913 et qui ne s\u2019acheva qu\u2019en 1960, alors qu\u2019il f\u00eatait son 70\u00e8me anniversaire –il enregistra pour la radio danoise le r\u00f4le de Siegmund dans le 1er acte de la Walkyrie \u00e0 cette occasion<\/em>-. Lauritz Melchior est tout simplement le plus prodigieux Heldentenor -t\u00e9nor h\u00e9ro\u00efque<\/em>– qui ait \u00e9t\u00e9 au vingti\u00e8me si\u00e8cle : puissance vocale, beaut\u00e9 du timbre, longueur de souffle : il \u00e9tait taill\u00e9 pour chanter Wagner !<\/p>\n

\u2022 Die Walk\u00fcre – G\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung<\/strong>
\nLauritz Melchior, Helen Traubel – NBC Orchestra, Arturo Toscanini – 1941 *****<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Un trio de stars pour ces extraits enflamm\u00e9s ! Helen Traubel rempla\u00e7a Marjorie Lawrence et Kirsten Flagstad dans les r\u00f4les wagn\u00e9riens sur les sc\u00e8nes am\u00e9ricaines \u00e0 partir de 1941, pour y devenir la partenaire attitr\u00e9e de Lauritz Melchior. Elle y incarna notamment tr\u00e8s souvent les r\u00f4les de Br\u00fcnnhilde et d\u2019Isolde dans lesquels elle pouvait projeter son immense voix, dont on dit qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait \u00ab\u00a0puissante, endurante et semblable \u00e0 une \u00e9p\u00e9e \u00e9tincelante\u00a0\u00bb. Ces enregistrements de 1941, issus d\u2019un concert radiophonique dirig\u00e9 par Arturo Toscanini<\/strong><\/span><\/a> qui \u00e9tait alors consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme \u00ab le plus grand chef d\u2019orchestre au monde \u00bb, sont de tr\u00e8s bonne qualit\u00e9 technique eu \u00e9gard \u00e0 leur \u00e9poque.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tristan und Isolde<\/strong>
\nLauritz Melchior, Helen Traubel – Ch. & Orch. du Metropolitan Opera de New York – Erich Leinsdorf – 1943 *****<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

C\u2019est, \u00e0 mes oreilles, tout simplement le \u00ab Tristan und Isolde \u00bb int\u00e9gral –malgr\u00e9 quelques coupures, traditionnelles au \u00ab Met \u00bb \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque, aux actes 2 et 3<\/em>– le mieux chant\u00e9<\/strong> –donn\u00e9e quand m\u00eame essentielle pour cet op\u00e9ra, long chant d\u2019amour o\u00f9 il ne se passe \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s rien d\u2019autre\u2026<\/em>– de l\u2019enti\u00e8re discographie de l\u2019oeuvre –mais pas forc\u00e9ment le \u00ab mieux incarn\u00e9 \u00bb<\/em>-. . Erich Leinsdorf est un chef wagn\u00e9rien rapide et efficace, qui sait toujours laisser la musique respirer quand c’est n\u00e9cessaire et la qualit\u00e9 technique de cet album est satisfaisante.
