Leo Blech

ʻO ke kālena a Leo Blech i hōʻike maopopo loa a hōʻike piha loa ʻia i loko o ka hale opera, kahi i hui pū ʻia ai ka culmination o ka hana alakaʻi hanohano o ka mea pena kiʻi, kahi kokoke i kanaono makahiki.

I kona wā'ōpiopio, ua ho'āʻoʻo Blech i kona lima ma keʻano he pianist a me ka haku mele: ma keʻano he keikiʻehiku makahiki, uaʻike muaʻo ia ma ke kahua'ahamele, e hoʻokani ana i kāna mau piano pono'ī. Ma hope o kona puka maikaʻi ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe o ke mele ma Berlin, ua aʻo ʻo Blech i ka haku mele ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a E. Humperdinck, akā ʻike koke ʻo ia ʻo kāna ʻoihana nui ke alakaʻi.

Ua kū mua ʻo Blech ma ka hale opera ma kona kūlanakauhale hānau ʻo Aachen i ka makahiki i hala. A laila, hana 'o ia ma Prague, a mai 1906 noho 'o ia ma Berlin, kahi i hana 'ia ai kana hana hana no na makahiki he nui. ʻAʻole koke, neʻe ʻo ia i ka lālani like me nā kukui o ke akamai o ka alakaʻi ʻana e like me Klemperer, Walter, Furtwängler, Kleiber. Ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Blech, ʻo ia ma kahi o kanakolu mau makahiki ma ke poʻo o ka hale keaka ma Unterden Linden, ua lohe ka poʻe Berliners i kahi hana nani o nā keaka a pau a Wagner, ʻo ka nui o nā hana hou a R. Strauss. Me kēia, ua alakaʻi ʻo Blech i kahi nui o nā ʻaha mele, kahi i kani ai nā hana a Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, nā ʻāpana symphonic mai nā opera a me nā haku mele, i aloha nui ʻia e ke alakaʻi.

ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Blech e mākaʻikaʻi pinepine, makemake e hana mau me nā hui like. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻoikaika kekahi mau huakaʻi ʻaha mele i kona kaulana ākea. ʻO ka holomua nui ka huakaʻi a ka mea pena i ʻAmelika, i hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1933. I ka makahiki 1937, ua koi ʻia ʻo Blech e neʻe mai Nazi Kelemānia a no kekahi mau makahiki i alakaʻi i ka hale opera ma Riga. I ka wā i hoʻokomo ʻia ai ʻo Latvia i ka Soviet Union, ua mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Blech iā Moscow a me Leningrad me ka lanakila nui. I kēlā manawa, kokoke i kanahiku makahiki ka mea pena, akā aia kāna talena i kona wā kiʻekiʻe. “Eia kahi mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻohui i ka mākaukau maoli, ka moʻomeheu kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻike noʻeau nui i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i nā makahiki he nui o ka hana noʻeau. ʻO ka ʻono maikaʻi ʻole, ke ʻano maikaʻi o ke ʻano, ke ʻano noʻonoʻo - ʻo kēia mau hiʻohiʻona he ʻano maʻamau o ke kiʻi hoʻokani o Leo Blech. Akā, ʻoi aku paha, ʻoi aku ka nui o kona ʻano plasticity i ka hoʻouna ʻana a me kēlā me kēia laina a me ke ʻano mele holoʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻo Blech i ka mea hoʻolohe e manaʻo ma waho o ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ma waho o ka pōʻaiapili ākea, ka neʻe ākea; ʻAʻole loa e manaʻo ka mea hoʻolohe i kāna wehewehe ʻana i nā hili e hoʻopaʻa pū i nā ʻāpana pākahi o ka hana," kākau ʻo D. Rabinovich ma ka nūpepa "Soviet Art".

Ua mahalo ka poʻe hoʻohewa mai nā ʻāina like ʻole i ka wehewehe maikaʻi loa ʻana o ka mele a Wagner - ʻo kona ʻano maopopo, hoʻohui ʻia ka hanu ʻana, ua hoʻokūpaʻa ʻia i ka haku virtuoso o nā kala orchestral, ka hiki ke "loaʻa i ka orchestra a me kahi piano hiki ʻole ke lohe ʻia, akā ʻike mau ʻia", a "mana, akā. ʻaʻole ʻoi loa, nosy fortissimo” . ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻike ʻia ke komo hohonu ʻana o ka mea alakaʻi i nā kikoʻī o nā ʻano like ʻole, ka hiki ke hoʻopuka i ke mele i ka mea hoʻolohe i ke ʻano i kākau ʻia e ka mea kākau. ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha ua makemake pinepine ʻo Blech e haʻi hou i ka ʻōlelo Kelemānia: "Ua maikaʻi nā mea āpau." ʻO ka loaʻa ʻole ʻana o ka "hoʻokō arbitrariness", ʻo ka manaʻo akahele i ka kikokikona a ka mea kākau ka hopena o ia manaʻo o ka mea pena.

Ma hope o Rigi, hana ʻo Blech no ʻewalu mau makahiki ma Stockholm, kahi i hoʻomau ai ʻo ia i ka hana ʻana ma ka hale opera a me nā ʻaha mele. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā makahiki hope o kona ola ʻana ma ka home a mai ka makahiki 1949 ʻo ia ke alakaʻi o ka Berlin City Opera.
