Fille de Frantz Liszt et la comtesse Marie d\u2019Agoult, femme de lettres fran\u00e7aise sous le nom de Daniel Stern et qui fut sa ma\u00eetresse au cours d\u2019une romance passionn\u00e9e de six ans, Cosima Wagner<\/strong><\/a><\/span> fut l\u2019amante puis la seconde \u00e9pouse de Richard Wagner \u00e0 partir de 1870. A la mort du compositeur –1883<\/em>-, elle fit du festival de Bayreuth, qui n\u2019avait alors connu que deux saisons en 1876 et 1882, une v\u00e9ritable institution et le dirigea jusqu\u2019en 1906, date \u00e0 laquelle leur fils Siegfried cadet, lui succ\u00e9da.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cosima Wagner et leur fils Siegfried sont au 1er plan \u00e0 gauche, Frantz Liszt est au piano et Richard Wagner tient une partition.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sous son \u00e9gide, le temple wagn\u00e9rien fut marqu\u00e9 par un conservatisme certain et un dogmatisme extr\u00eamement rigide quant \u00e0 ses conceptions sc\u00e9niques ou lyriques.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est \u00e0 Cosima, beaucoup plus qu\u2019aux volont\u00e9s du compositeur, que l\u2019on doit le fameux \u00ab style wagn\u00e9rien \u00bb que l’on pouvait alors entendre sur \u00ab\u00a0la colline verte de Bayreuth\u00a0\u00bb : primaut\u00e9 du texte<\/span> sur la musique, importance de la d\u00e9clamation<\/span> au d\u00e9triment de la ligne m\u00e9lodique et appui sonore sur les consonnes<\/span>, fortement projet\u00e9es, en sont les principaux \u00e9l\u00e9ments.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ces caract\u00e9ristiques furent largement moqu\u00e9es dans toutes les maisons d\u2019op\u00e9ra du monde, d\u00e9crites comme \u00ab\u00a0les aboiements wagn\u00e9riens\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>, et ne furent en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 adopt\u00e9es que par une tr\u00e8s infime minorit\u00e9 de chanteurs, y compris \u00e0 Bayreuth.<\/p>\n

Le coffret de ce jour propose d\u2019entendre des artistes qui exerc\u00e8rent \u00e0 Bayreuth durant les trente ann\u00e9es pass\u00e9es sous la direction de Cosima Wagner –mais ils n’ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9s \u00e0 Bayreuth durant cette p\u00e9riode, cela va de soi…<\/em>– et constitue un t\u00e9moignage pr\u00e9cieux sur cette p\u00e9riode, m\u00eame si TheCookingCat ne comprend pas que je puisse consacrer du temps \u00e0 ces antiquit\u00e9s… –Cliquer sur l’image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

Les nombreux fragments de chacun des dix op\u00e9ras de Wagner sont parfois techniquement rudimentaires et sont assez souvent accompagn\u00e9s d\u2019un piano plut\u00f4t que d\u2019un orchestre. S\u2019ils peuvent donner une id\u00e9e du \u00ab style wagn\u00e9rien \u00bb en vigueur sous Cosima, ils montrent surtout que tr\u00e8s peu de chanteurs s\u2019y pliaient ! Par ailleurs, les conditions techniques pr\u00e9caires de l\u2019\u00e9poque ne permettent pas d\u2019offrir de tr\u00e8s longs extraits et, surtout, ceux-ci sont tr\u00e8s souvent jou\u00e9s \u00e0 grande vitesse ! On a donc du mal \u00e0 mesurer l’ampleur de ces voix, qui semblent assez \u00e9loign\u00e9es cependant de l’image que l’on peut avoir de \u00ab\u00a0grande voix wagn\u00e9rienne\u00a0\u00bb –mais certains artistes \u00e9taient d\u00e9j\u00e0 assez avanc\u00e9s en \u00e2ge lorsq’ils enregistr\u00e8rent ces extraits<\/em>-. En revanche, la diction est le plus souvent exemplaire, et ce n’est pas un d\u00e9tail !<\/p>\n

Cette g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de chanteurs lyriques pr\u00e9c\u00e8de la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration dite de \u00ab l\u2019\u00e2ge d\u2019or du chant wagn\u00e9rien \u00bb, que vous pouvez retrouver ici<\/strong><\/span><\/a> ou encore l\u00e0<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
