Now Playing: YouTube post
Topic: CLASSICAL VIDEOs
Singing "Questa O Quella" from "Rigoletto" by Giuseppe Verdi. Jan Peerce with Beersheba Chamber Orchestra, Mendi Rodan, conductor Recorded in 1982. Jan Peerce's birth name was Jacob Pincus Perelmuth, he grew up in New York and remained devoutly religious all his life. He was a trained violinist and also sang popular songs when it was discovered almost by accident, that he had an unusually good voice. This brought him an engagement with the Radio City Music Hall company from which he moved on to make his operatic debut in Philadelphia in 1938. He finally arrived at New York Metropolitan Opera in 1941. While his operatic home was to remain the Met, for just about all his career, he also sang abroad and was a sensation when he visited Russia in 1956. He enjoyed a particularly long career, singing well into his 70's. He was also brother-in-law of tenor Richard Tucker, with whom he shared an intensely personal and professional rivalry.

ELGAR Sympnony # 1 op 55; Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Andre Previn, cond.
ALBUM NOTES Complete Symphonies of ELGAR | BOOKS about ELGAR
ELGAR BIO & CDiscography | ELGAR SOCIETY PAGES

Sir Edward Elgar was born 150 years ago on 2nd June 1857 at Broadheath, a village some three miles from the small city of Worcester in the English West Midlands. [d. 23 February 1934] ...

Hans Richter called Elgar's first symphony the "greatest symphony of modern times" and to my taste it's the most important symphony since Mozart's 40th. Elgar stumbled on a simple, noble theme, quite unlike the folk-song melodies of his younger contemporary, Vaughan Williams. This motto theme drives the whole symphony through to the last movement where it reappears, deconstructed with massive brass and percussion chords punctuating its marchlike theme, but decidedly off the beat like random thunder. First performed in 1908 just before the First World War, the symphony as a whole is like a tone picture of the Victorian/Edwardian era marching off into the sunset.
