Coming soon: In-app purchases for Android with Corona SDK
And just so that you all know, we are days away from shipping it. Tops two weeks. Will update you all in a week. Disclaimer: Please note that Google In App Purchases (GIAP) is a feature only available in the Google Android Marketplace. Android apps with Google IAP will be rejected on the Amazon and NOOK app stores, though we are working with Amazon and Barnes & Noble to come up with IAP solutions for them. The Amazon Appstore is working with its own IAP and so is Barnes & Noble — so, hopefully, it won't be long before we come out with their respective solutions.
Building and Publishing Kindle Fire Apps
EDITOR's NOTE: The info in this blog post is outdated. Please refer to the guide published here: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/kindleBuild/index.html. With our recently added support for Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, it seems like the right time to publish a complete walk-through for building a Kindle Fire app with Corona SDK and submitting the app for inclusion in Amazon's Appstore for Android. Fortunately, the process is very simple and has very few differences from building/submitting normal Android apps. The entire process is described below in just five easy steps. Step 1: Signing Your App As stated in the Amazon Developer FAQ, by default, your apps are signed by a certificate supplied by Amazon that is unique to your developer account. So with that said, you should be fine

Corona Indie Bundle top 5 in Amazon Appstore
A week ago, we told you about the Corona Indie Bundle now being available on Android exclusively through the Amazon Appstore. And, as we expected, quite a lot of you wanted the app on Android! So many so, in fact, that yesterday the Bundle cracked the Top 5 on the Appstore's charts for top paid games (#5) AND top overall apps (#3). If you haven't done so yet, you can get the app for your Android device below — let's get it to #1!
Corona Indie Bundle now on Android, exclusively thru the Amazon Appstore
Last week, we released the Corona Indie Bundle, a pack of five top-selling Corona games for iPhone and iPad. Many of you in the Android crowd were sad that you couldn't get in on the fun that your iOS cohorts were enjoying. Well, now it's your turn! The Corona Indie Bundle is now available on Android exclusively through the Amazon Appstore for Android for the same ol' awesome price of 99¢. Not only that but, as of early this morning, it's already sitting on the Amazon Appstore charts at #13 among all games and #21 among all paid apps. WHOA!!! Click below to download the Corona Indie Bundle for Android, or hit CoronaIndieBundle.com for all the details your heart may desire. Wüt!
(Part 5) Automated Testing on Android Devices: Bringing everything together through shell scripts
There has been a lot of material presented over the last four parts. In this final part, we will finally go into some detail about our automated testing system for Android. We will also finally get an opportunity to bring everything together by looking a little more how our shell scripts orchestrate the test run and connect components from the previous parts. Android was a lot easier to setup automated on-device tests than iOS because the entire toolchain is command line driven. But ironically, actually running the tests has been more unreliable for us, mostly due to some bug related to adb. For some reason we can't explain, adb will hang on us and it will not allow us to communicate with our device. This has
(Part 3) Automated Testing on Mobile Devices with Lua: TestMore & LuaSocket
As stated in Part 1, we use lua-TestMore for our testing and reporting. The output format is called TAP (Test Anything Protocol) . It is human readable and simple. TestMore and TAP are widely used enough that there are tools available to help you use it.
(Part 1) Automated Testing on Mobile Devices for iOS and Android
Preamble: This post is going to be a little different than usual. What we present here is behind the scenes stuff used in making the Corona SDK. But we hope the information presented here goes beyond satisfying simple academic curiosity. We hope this information will actually be useful for others to directly use in their own projects. And the target audience for this post goes beyond our normal demographic. In addition to Corona developers, we are also reaching out to all Xcode/iOS/Mac developers, all Android developers, all Lua developers, and anybody interested in automated testing/software reliability. Also, as a consequence of our solution, people interested in Applescript, Scripting Bridge, and/or LuaCocoa may also find things of interest. Because the topic is vast, not every single
Corona SDK apps shine in the Amazon Appstore
Not to be outdone by their Android Market counterparts, Corona-made apps in the Amazon Android Appstore also have been making quite a stir! The Secret of Grisly Manor by Fire Maple Games just peaked at #5 in the top paid apps list on Amazon, which doesn't come as too much surprise to us since it's been in Amazon's top 10 paid apps for the past 12 weeks. If you have an Android device, be sure to check it out below: But that's not all… !

Another meager helping of Grand Theft Auto V screens
Rockstar has graciously released four new GTA V screenshots to go along with the other screens it drip-fed this week. Altogether, that's amounted to ten whole images this week. Man, that'd be enough to almost justify a single post!
Says the man that dutifully posted all the screens anyway like the pathetic faux-journalist he is.

Mer de glace glacier on Mont Blanc390.
(photo credit:Monica Dalmasso)
CHAMONIX, France – On May 25, 1816, a month after she began writing
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley caught her first glimpse of the mighty Mer de Glace
glacier winding through the snow-capped mountains north of Mont Blanc in
France."This," Shelley wrote in her diary that day, "is the most
desolate place in the world."Soon afterward, the 18-year-old Mary
immortalized her impressions of the glacier in one of Frankenstein's most
gripping scenes, which culminates in the monster rushing with superhuman speed
down the mountain to be "quickly lost among the undulations of the sea of
ice."Today, almost 200 years later, the Mer de Glace still fills
tourists with awe and wonder, and it is still the must-see attraction for summer
holiday-makers in the nearby resort of Chamonix – even though modern technology
and global warming have both reduced the size of the glacier and made the
journey to see it much easier.While the Shelleys reached the 'Ice Sea'
via a long, perilous journey by pack mule up the steep slopes of what they
dubbed "precipitous mountains, the abodes of unrelenting frost", today's
tourists enjoy a 20-minute hop on the Montenvers rack railway.And at the
once-barren summit there is now a cafe and a souvenir shop (one doubts Mary and
Percy would be impressed by the racks of decidedly non-Gothic postcards or by
shelves of marmot plush toys clad in tiny Chamonix sweaters).And while
the literature it inspires may be eternal, the glacier is certainly not. Back
when the Shelleys visited, it stretched all the way down into the local hamlet
of Les Bois, where the local peasant farmers feared and revered it, imagining it
as a sleeping dragon.Still, it is quite an experience to see the seven
kilometer long ice river meandering with mazy motion though deep romantic chasms
(and here I'm sure Mary would not object to this homage to Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, whom she knew and admired).Just like a river, the ice is
flowing – not so fast that you can see it, but at considerable speed – its own
weight pushing it down the mountain at the astounding rate of one centimeter per
hour, as today's visitors to the Mer de Glace can learn at the brand-new
visitors center.After filling their minds with glacial knowledge, hungry
tourists can partake of traditional Savoyard hospitality at the rather
delightful Grand Hotel de Montenvers, a hostelry built by locals in 1880 to
capitalize on the growing mountainclimbing trend. Today, the Grand Hotel is
still providing food and accommodation to 'mountaineers, adventurers and
travelers', and if you book in advance (or are lucky), it's possible to spend
the night in one of its nine private rooms.The Grand Hotel manages to
successfully show off its old-time, wooden-walled charm (the antique snow shoes,
toboggans and sepia photographs adorning its walls are genuine).Meals
are simple, and delicious: recommended is the raclette, a local speciality that
reminds one how very close Chamonix is to Switzerland.Back down the
mountain in Chamonix, the locals happily relate the resort's foundation myth –
the Cinderella-style story of how aristocratic 18th century tourists almost
miraculously 'discovered' the Mer de Glace, and its almost overnight
transformation from a remote glacier that terrified goat-herds to the Alps'
biggest tourist attraction.Today's Chamonix is a cluster of chic
restaurants, smart hotels, fashion boutiques and ski chalets, plus (this is,
after all, France) a stately casino. Its main Club Med hotel was built to rival
Nice's Negresco.But once, locals say, Chamonix was merely a Savoyard
backwater where none but the hardiest peasants dared to graze their
goats.All that changed in 1744, locals relate, when two Englishmen –
Richard Pococke and William Windham – chanced by, and were so enchanted that
they waxed lyrical about the place in a travelogue.This rave review was
reprinted in newspapers across Europe, causing a sensation among the well-heeled
adventurer class.Tourists began flooding to Chamonix, the locals
realized they could cash in by ditching their goats and providing inns,
raclette, mules and sedan chairs to schlep the less athletic tourists up the
mountain. The goatherding backwater never looked back.There's shopping
and dining to be had in Chamonix, but for those (like this author) who prefer
outdoor sports, mud and nature to buying shoes and clothes, Chamonix is a
perfect base for a week's hiking, mountain biking, Nordic walking and – if you
know what you're doing – mountain climbing.Club Med Chamonix Mont Blanc
offers weeklong summer packages that include full board and lodgings, as well as
a smorgasbord of daily mountain sports activities – hiking, mountain-biking and
Nordic walking to name a few.You don't have to be a super-fit hiker to
enjoy walking the gorgeous trails around Chamonix, though. Just like ski slopes,
the hiking trails are color-coded according to difficulty. 'Green' walks, the
easiest, are ideal for those looking for a leisurely ramble through nature (Club
Med provide guides and each walk has a pit-stop for cheese and
wine).Club Med also provides guests with a public transport pass,
allowing free use of local buses, which run to and from the starts of all the
hiking trails. Even though skiing is not on the menu in summer, visitors can
still ride the cable cars.A visit to Chamonix would not be complete
without a trip on the Aiguille du Midi cable car, one of the world's highest.
The exhilarating ride is split into two parts, with an initial stop at 2,317
meters where you switch cars to travel onwards and upwards to the final 3,842
meter destination.Mont Blanc's summit is 4,810 meters and only
experienced mountaineers can hike up there (if that's you, guides are available
in Chamonix). And while it may be sunny in Chamonix, at the top of the cable
ride its always cold, and often snowing – it's an odd but not unwelcome feeling
to don ski clothing in mid-June.Views across the snowcapped mountains
are superb, across to Italy and down into Chamonix, and on a clear day Mont
Blanc herself, the White Lady of the Alps, may condescend to peek regally out
from behind her veil of cloud."The immensity of these aeriel summits
excited, when they suddenly burst upon the sight, a sentiment of extatic wonder,
not unallied to madness," wrote the Shelleys back in 1816, little imagining
there would one day be a cable car to those 'aeriel summits'.The
"extatic wonder" has not changed, however. From the top, it's also possible to
take another five kilometer cable car trip across the mountains to Helbronner in
Italy (so don't forget your passport).Travelers should also take note
that because of the altitude, the air is very thin at the summit and so you will
likely need some time to recover your breath a bit afterwards.For those
staying a week or more, there are plenty of day trips farther afield from
Chamonix.Just 58 kilometers and a fast drive away is Annecy, dubbed the
Venice of Savoie because of the way the old town's buildings are constructed
right on the riverfront.Today, Annecy is calm, beautiful and charming,
but its streets hide clues to its turbulent history- over time its former
rulers, the Savoie dynasty, were themselves variously ruled by the Sicilians,
the Sardinians, the Spanish and the Austrians.Its most important
landmark, the triangular- shaped 12th century Palais de L'Isle, resembles the
prow of a galley ship. It's one of France's most photographed monuments – but
it's worth remembering that the "old prison", as it is known locally, has housed
prisoners since it was first built, most recently captured Nazi
soldiers.Famous Annecians include philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712-1778), who fled to the city from his native Geneva at the tender age of
15, where he was taken in by a Roman Catholic Priest. In Annecy, young Rousseau
met Francoise-Louise de Warens, who years later would become his
lover.Today, Annecy commemorates Rousseau's stay in the city with a
fountain, the Gold Balustrade, and much local pride.Annecy was also the
16th century home of Saint Francois de Sales, the patron saint of journalists
and writers – presumably only Catholic ones, however.Visitors can also
take a sightseeing trip on the lake – it's the cleanest in Europe, as the locals
will happily tell you, and it shows – the water is crystal clear. Come in the
first weekend of August to enjoy the town's famous lakeside firework
celebration.Those who find their sightseeing is enhanced by good food
will delight in Annecy, whose weekly street market (held every Tuesday since
1170) overflows with local cheeses, fruits, beers and wines. There are plenty of
restaurants to choose from, which serve mostly local, French food.A
seven-night July package to Chamonix (including flights, accommodation in Club
Med Chamonix and a Chamonix multipass allowing unlimited access to cable cars)
costs 2,916 euros for a couple.The writer was a guest of Atout France
and Club Med

It has been a very active year thus far for singing siren Kim Kelly. The multi talented songstress has been busy performing alongside various dancehall and reggae stars, premiered a video worldwide, did a 2 weeks media tour on the beautiful island of Jamaica and released 2 hot singles "Plans Fi Yuh" on the U.I.M Records Top Class Riddim, and "Fall In Love". Kim is excitedly gearing up for a U.K media tour which will see her connect with her international fans. "I can't wait, I get so much love from fans in the U.K on my facebook and instagram, this will give me a chance to meet and greet them, and to introduce myself personally to Europe."
Kim Kelly is a Jamaican singer, songwriter, model and actress based in Toronto.Canada. Born in Portmore Jamaica, Kim moved to Canada at 13 where she grew up in Brampton Ontario, developing a strong work ethic and a dream to pursue her love of music. During these years she was known for being the teen who sang more than she actually spoke.
At 18 years old, Kim felt confident and ready to introduce herself to the world. While entering the 'Toronto Dimes' modeling competition she was approached by David Reid of STYLES INTERNATIONAL and asked if she could sing. She sang on the spot and was subsequently signed to Reid's company who worked with her on her modeling career as well as several unreleased R&B projects.

Bring a medium pot of water to the boil and add a good pinch of salt. Pick the herbs and spinach of any large stalks and plunge into the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water and squeeze dry. Blend until a puree consistency and reserve aside.
Place the shallots, vinegar, white wine, bay leaf and peppercorns into a small pot and reduce over a high heat by 2/3. Melt the butter and allow the whey and solids to settle, ladle of the clear melted butter and discard the whey.
Place the yolks into the reduction and whisk until foamy and light – place over a low heat and continue whisking until the mixture forms a thick ribbon. Care must be taken not to scramble the mix – remove from the heat if you feel it is getting away from you.
Slowly whisk in the melted butter and season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Reserve.
Bring a medium pot of water to the boil for the poached eggs and add a good pinch of salt and a dash of vinegar. Toast the bread on both sides and butter lightly. Reserve aside. Crack the eggs one by one into the gently rolling water and allow to poach gently for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain onto paper towel. Place the ham onto the toast and place the 2 eggs onto each toast.
Whisk the herb puree into the hollandaise at the last minute and spoon over the eggs to finish.
Dress a little rocket in a drizzle of olive oil and place a few leaves onto each plate.

Echo Arena Liverpool, 14 November 2014.
Back in the late-80s I had returned from Australia and settled in to a new job and home with my family. For a reason I cannot now remember my love of music returned in the early 90s and I set out to acquire the best hi-fi equipment I could afford. [...]
There's a huge diversity of singer/songwriters out there from on both sides of the Atlantic so I thought I would select what I think are the best from a selection of new albums released in recent months.
Lana Del Rey ULTRAVIOLENCE.
It's very rare for me to attend and review a show by an act whose music I have never heard, but St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, has had much written about her and so my curiosity has got the best of me. Supporting Vincent tonight is an act also new to me
Minnesota based musician Chastity Brown returns to the UK this September with a brand new single, 'Colorado', and UK tour kicking off at London's Bush Hall on September 17th, 2014. The new single 'Colorado' is Chastity Brown at her best; full of roots, grit
The Reads. LOST AT SEA. Reads
Marcel Delrue – Keyboards and programming
Jamie Russell - Lead guitar, harmonica and backing vocals

For years I've followed the path of others calling this list "The Best of…" Of course it can never be simply because neither they nor moi hear everything released during a year. It's what makes annual gongs like the Mercury Prize so worthless -

Lee Russell and Daniel Haper return after a brief hiatus to take a look at Charles B. Pierce's drive-in classic proto-slasher:

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 3: "Ravenous" (1999).
Tuesday, October 14, 2014
They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 2: "Dawn of the Dead" (2004).
My friend Daniel Haper and myself take a look at the 2004 remake of the Romero classic, Dawn of the Dead. Come, waste and hour of your time with us. Like the podcast? Hate it? Let us know. Cheers.
They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 1: "Kill List" (2011).
Yeah, I know I've been a bad, bad blogger. I've actually been watching a lot of films, I just haven't been writing about them (check my Letterboxd page). Haven't had the time. However, I've been working on the next step in typical lazy bloggerdom: I've started a podcast. They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! is a recent endeavour between myself and my friend Daniel Harper. Although it shall focus on horror, fantasy, science fiction, and exploitation of all shapes and sizes, we will also review big budget block busters and serious dramas when we fancy. There will probably be no musicals or romantic comedies unless there's a lot of blood involved however. I hope to eventually add a few of my other friends into the mix as well for some episodes, just to keep things fresh. I also hope to get back to writing reviews, but I think I'll mostly focus on my DVD Spotlights.
So far we are only on Youtube. This should soon be corrected after I set up a place to host .mp3s of the episodes for easy download. Bare with me, I'm very new to this shit. In the first episode we break down in (perhaps too much) detail, the genre mish-mash of 2011's Kill List.

Rip Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
July 23, 1967 – February 2, 2014
Sad news, as it's being widely reported that Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead today. Possible drug overdose. A shame. A waste. Terrible. I can't begin to wrap my mind around the impact Hoffman has had in film in the last twenty years or so. He was one of those out-of-left-field sort of actors, who silently rose up through small, memorable roles. Through the '90s you knew his face, you knew his work, but you may have not known his name. I think I first watched him in Scent of a Woman (1992), but it may have been The Big Lebowski (1998). Most probably learned his name in his "break-out" role in Boogie Nights (1997). I didn't see that film until several years after its release, so for me it was The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) where I suddenly realized "wait, I've seen that guy before, he's really good!". That was the start of checking out his past work and following whatever came next. I've pretty much loved him in everything I've seen him in, even if the film itself wasn't great. He had a pretty striking physical presence to back up his acting chops. He could pull off prim and proper and disheveled with equal effectiveness. He could be interesting, lovable, or just a downright slimy creep. Few can do a person on the verge of falling over the edge like he did in films like the fantastic character piece about a degenerate gambler, Owning Mahowny (2003), or as the desperate mastermind of an ill-fated crime in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007). People took major notice of him again in Capote (2005), where he won best actor, but he could be overlooked as well, in small roles that held films together, like his turn as an awkward teacher falling for a student in 25th Hour (2002). At only 46 years of age there seemed like there was so much more promise there, but sadly that's been forever silenced. Thankfully his body of work is one worth revisiting and enjoying for years to come. Thanks, Philip.

Television manufacturers are only beginning to establish 1080p as a mainstream feature, but camera makers are already preparing movie studios for recording in future formats. Startup manufacturer Red Camera has for months been promising the Red One, a professional HD video camera that the company claims could revolutionize filmmaking through cost and features. Red has now officially announced full details of the new model which easily validate the company's claims. The Red One features a 12-megapixel sensor that can record at an extremely large 2540p resolution - more than four times the pixels of the full HDTV standard - at the full 60 frames per second needed for television output. It can also record at a fluid 120 frames per second using lower resolutions. By far the most important aspect of the camera, however, is its announced price. Most HD cameras capable of the Red One's image quality begin at over $100,000 even today, ruling them out for all but the wealthiest filmmakers: in contrast, Red has stated that the official price of its first camera will be $17,500, which places it well within reach of professionals whose budget would have previously ruled out this camera type altogether. The company began accepting pre-orders for the Red One at the same time as the formal announcement and intends to demonstrate its equipment at the IBC Expo on September 8th.

G-Unit leader 50 Cent recently shed light on the current war of words between Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim and why their "beef" should be looked at as nothing more than rap competition.
50 believes there is nothing wrong with Kim and Minaj having a publicized feud at the cost of battling.
"When I look at them actually competing, I don't see anything," 50 said in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. "I think it's harmless. It adds an interesting story and other interests to them, 'cause Kim is the original, I believe, and Nicki is the right now — How do you get in the middle of a girl fight?" (Shade 45)
Last summer, 50 also dissected what he felt was bothering Kim about Minaj.
"I think it's other things irritating Kim outside of Nicki Minaj, just having momentum of new artists doesn't offend artists that have established themselves long before that," Fif said in an interview with radio personality Lady La. "It's obvious that she was inspired by some of Kim's [rhymes], but that's not bad. And it's not a whole lot of female artists that you can make reference to so you'll see those little influences even stronger and I think she's hot, she's got a good little thing going on right now as far as Nicki Minaj is concerned. I think it's probably a little more irritating to see [Diddy] standing next to Nicki and for him to say that [Rick] Ross reminds him of Biggie, because that's desperation on his part because his music sucks right now." (Power 98)
As of late, Kim has announced plans to drop an anti-Minaj mixtape called Black Friday, a play-on of Pink Friday, on Valentine's Day.
"Black Friday the Mixtape – 2/14/11- WHO THE F*CK WAR?#ItsBlackFridayH*e LEGOOOO!!!!!," she tweeted Wednesday (January 26).
"Black Friday the Mixtape – 2/14/11- WHO THE F*CK WAR?#ItsBlackFridayHoe! http://yfrog.com/h89cwkj"
"@lilkim #itsblackfridayh*e 2.14.11 Happy Valentine's Day B*tch! http://twitpic.com/3trq43″ (Lil Kim's Twitter)
Responding to Minaj's "Roman's Revenge" diss last fall, Kim dropped her own "Black Friday" response track in November.
Let the war of words continue. Lil' Kim delivers her full attack against Nicki Minaj on "Black Friday." Over Pharoahe Monch's instrumental from "Simon Says," the Queen Bee spits stinging words about the Harajuku Barbie and her Young Money labelmate: "This hood sh*t, you and Drake ain't built for/ This the shit the other b*tch almost got killed for." She doesn't stop there, calling the Pink Friday lyricist a clone. "This ain't a championship fight, I been the greatest/ See the fact is, what you doing, I did it/ Lames tryna clone my style and run wit it/ That's cool, I was the first one wit it/ You's a Lil' Kim wannabe, you just hate to admit it." Even Nicki's co-manager and Kim's ex-affiliate Diddy is not safe. "You and Diddy, sorry bunch of swagger jackers," she raps on the blistering track, which Hot 97's DJ Absolut premiered in full today. (Rap-Up)

Robert Schumann: A Life in Song
Miah Persson and Florian Boesch sang Schumann with Malcolm Martineau at the Wigmore Hall for the latest of his Songlives series.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Miah Persson and Florian Boesch sang Schumann with Malcolm Martineau at the Wigmore Hall for the latest of his Songlives series.
In this recital we traced the different stages of Schumann's development as song composer. There were thirty seven songs, some of the fairly long, plus two encores, but the performances were so good that the evening seemed to end all too soon.
Sensucht (WoO 121 1827), written when the composer was 17 is a deceptively simple song, for which Schumann wrote his own text. Heinrich Heine stimulated him to a more sophisticated work, the same year, Gesanges erwachen (1827). Persson's voice was lithe, suggesting youth..
Most of the Wigmore Hall audience know Schumann's songs of 1840, so Martineau and his singers presented a brief selection of Eichendorff, Kerner and other songs. The Liederkreis op 39 are familiar, but Boesch and Persson made them feel fresh and newly minted. Persson's Frühlingsnacht, her timbre so lustrous that you could almost see moonbeams. Yet even in the midst of beauty, Lieder reflect on deeper mysteries. In Schõne Fremde, the rustling myrtle leaves seem to whisper secrets. "Was sprichtest du wirr" Boesch sang in hushed tones, "wie in Träumen zu mir, phantjatstiche Nacht?" Boesch's flawless modulation expressed excitement, wonder and even a twinge of fear. In Waldesgespräch, a vision of beauty turns on the beholder. Boesch sang the maiden's song so it felt almost hypnotically plaintive. Thus he didn't have to exaggerate the word "nimmermehr" at the end. Its forceful impact had been building up quietly all along.
There are eight songs in the full Frauenliebe und -leben op 42. but the three chosen here were a succint summary. Persson's voice fluttered as she sang of the woman's first glimpse of the man she would marry. No coy giddiness here. Persson's singing is so assured that she can suggest that this woman is no mere object of a man's fantasy, as some critics of the cycle believe. Persson makes the woman feel mature and confident, making her own choices. Helft mir, ihr Schwestern came across as a warm-hearted hymn to sisterhood. Hearing the song of widowhood straight after this was extraordinarily poignant. Just as we've come to know the woman and her happiness, that happiness is snatched away.
Boesch sang three songs from Kerner Lieder op 35 and Persson sang two of of the Zwolf Gedichte aus 'Liebesfrühling op 37 to texts by Friedrich Rückert. Together they sang the duet Herbstlied op 43no 2,. It's a jolly song : winter poses no threat to those who believe that Spring will come again.Suddenly, the mood changed. Boesch sang Belshazar op 57. That was an inspired juxtaposition of two very different songs !
Bryn Terfel sang Belsazar at the beginning of the Wigmore Hall 2013/14 season. Boesch sang with equal dramatic intensity but brought out the psychological nuances far more effectively. "Der Mitternacht", he sang, immediately establishing a sense of dangerous portent. Schumann writes hustle and bustle into the music, to suggest the rowdy party. Boesch's phrasing shows how the King is getting drunk, reeling from side to side, rashly showing off before his vassals. "Ich bin der Kõnig von Babylon!", he sang, just slightly off kilter so you could imagine the King puffed up but wobbly. Martineau played the rumblings in the piano part : even before the hand of Jehovah appears, the Babylonians are on shaky ground. The text is Heine, so the song ends curtly, without melodrama. The last line is chillingly matter-of-fact. ""Belsazar ward aber in selbiger Nachrt" sang Boesch without sentimentality. "Von seinen Knechten umgebracht".
To illustrate Schumann's later years in Dresden (1845-50) and in Düseldorf (1850-54), Martineau picked songs that highlighted different aspects of Schumann's life. To show Schumann as Pater familias, songs from the Liedreralbum für die Jugend Op 79 : Boesch sang Schneeglõckchen and Persson sang the Mõrike song Er Ist's. These songs are charming and whimsical, in contrast to the Harper songs from Wilhelm Meisters Lehrejahre Op 98a , written within the same year.
Goethe's Wilhelm Meister songs have been heard at the Wigmore Hall in various incarnations several times this year, (Wolf and Schubert) so it was immensely satisfying to hear Schumann's versions. Boesch started with Wer nie sein Brit mit Tränen Aß, perhaps the bleakest,then sang Wer sich der Einsamkeit vergibt and An den Türen will ich schliechen. His firm, measured pace suggested that the Harper faces his destiny with dogged resolution, far more courageously than if he were to court self pity. Of the current crop of singers in this fach, only Goerne and Boesch create the insight these songs deserve.
Schumann's Goethe songs were interspersed with settings of Lenau and more minor poets, such as Wilfried von Neun (Es stürmet am Abendhimmel, Op 89/1, 1850), Friedrich Halm (Geisternähe) and Christian L'Egru (Aufträge), These reflect Schumann's extensive knowledge of contemporary literature.
The recital concluded with songs written towards the end of Schumann's productive life, Abschied von der Welt and Gebet from Gedichte der Königin Maria Stuart Op 135, 1852). In the circumstances, lines like "Was nützt die mir noch zugemess'ne Zeit ?" (What use is the time still allotted me?) feel painfully poignant. We think of Schumann in the asylum, alone, the past behind him.
