Clemens Krauss

No ka poʻe i kamaʻāina i ke akamai o kēia alakaʻi alakaʻi koʻikoʻi o Austrian, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kona inoa mai ko Richard Strauss. ʻO Kraus no nā makahiki he mau makahiki ʻo ia ka hoaaloha pili loa, hoa-i-lima, like-minded a unpassed performer o nā hana a ka mea haku mele Kelemania akamai. ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻokoʻa o ka makahiki ʻaʻole ia i hoʻopilikia i ka hui hoʻomohala i loaʻa ma waena o kēia mau mea hoʻokani: ua hui lākou no ka manawa mua i ka manawa i kono ʻia ai ke alakaʻi he iwakāluakūmāiwa makahiki i ka Vienna State Opera - He kanaono makahiki ʻo Strauss i kēlā manawa. . ʻO ka pilina i hānau ʻia i kēlā manawa ua hoʻopau wale ʻia me ka make ʻana o ka haku mele…

Eia naʻe, ʻo ke ʻano o Kraus ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i kēia ʻano o kāna hana. ʻO ia kekahi o nā ʻelele kaulana loa o ke kula alakaʻi Viennese, e ʻālohilohi ana i kahi repertoire ākea, i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā mele aloha. Ua ʻike ʻia ke ʻano ʻālohilohi o Kraus, ka ʻenehana maikaʻi, ka manaʻo o waho ma mua o ka hui ʻana me Strauss, me ka waiho ʻole ʻana i nā kānalua e pili ana i kona wā e hiki mai ana. ʻO kēia mau hiʻohiʻona i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kāna wehewehe ʻana i nā mea aloha.

E like me nā alakaʻi alakaʻi ʻē aʻe o Austrian, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Kraus i kona ola ma ke mele ma ke ʻano he lālā o ka hale pule o nā keikikāne ma Vienna, a hoʻomau i kāna aʻo ʻana ma Vienna Academy of Music ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Gredener lāua ʻo Heuberger. Ma hope koke o ka pau ʻana o kāna mau haʻawina, ua hana ka mea hoʻokani pila ma Brno, a laila ma Riga, Nuremberg, Szczecin, Graz, kahi i lilo ai ʻo ia i poʻo o ka hale opera. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua kono ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi mua o ka Vienna State Opera (1922), a ua lawe koke ʻo ia i ka pou o "General Music Director" ma Frankfurt am Main.

ʻO nā mākau hoʻonohonoho kūʻokoʻa, ʻo ko Kraus ka nani o ka hana kiʻi i manaʻo ʻia no ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka opera. A ua ola ʻo ia e like me nā manaʻo a pau, ke poʻo nei i nā hale keaka o Vienna, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Munich no nā makahiki he nui a kākau i nā ʻaoʻao hanohano he nui i ko lākou mōʻaukala. Mai ka makahiki 1942, ua lilo ʻo ia i luna hoʻokele no ka Salzburg Festivals.

"Ma Clemens Kraus, kahi mea kupaianaha a hoihoi, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona o kahi ʻano Austrian maʻamau," i kākau ai ka mea hoʻohewa. a me ka hanohano maoli.

ʻEhā mau opera na R. Strauss i aie i kā lākou hana mua iā Clemens Kraus. Ma Dresden, ma lalo o kāna alakaʻi, ua hana mua ʻia ʻo "Arabella", ma Munich - "Day of Peace" a me "Capriccio", ma Salzburg - "The Love of Danae" (ma 1952, ma hope o ka make ʻana o ka mea kākau). No nā opera ʻelua hope loa, ua kākau ʻo Kraus iā ia iho i ka libretto.

I nā makahiki he ʻumi hope o kona ola ʻana, ua hōʻole ʻo Kraus e hana mau ma kekahi hale keaka. Ua huakaʻi nui ʻo ia a puni ka honua, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma nā moʻolelo Decca. Ma waena o nā mele i koe o Kraus, kokoke i nā mele symphonic a R. Strauss, nā hana a Beethoven a me Brahms, a me nā mele he nui o ka moʻokūʻauhau Viennese Strauss, me The Gypsy Baron, overtures, waltzes. ʻO kekahi o nā moʻolelo maikaʻi loa i hopu i ka ʻaha mele kahiko o ka Vienna Philharmonic i alakaʻi ʻia e Kraus, kahi e alakaʻi ai ʻo ia i nā hana a Johann Strauss ka makua kāne, ʻo Johann Strauss ke keiki kāne a me Joseph Strauss me ka nani, ke ākea a me ka nani o Viennese maoli. Ua loaʻa i ka make iā Clemens Kraus ma Mexico City, i ka wā o ka ʻaha mele aʻe.
