Description:
Linguist, record collector, and translator of opera libretti Walter Stegman hosts. ~ He plays excerpt from first act of Verdi's La Traviata (performed in German) and then discusses linguistics in opera, he calls the translations a shock: strange sounds coupled with the music. ~ Stegman then plays the death scene of Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov performed in Italian and then in the original Russian. ~ He then plays two examples of the Spanish lyric-dramatic genre zarzuela. ~ To illustrate the idea that he doesn't always think that an opera is best performed in its native language he plays Elektra by Richard Strauss in French and in German. ~ Followed by French art song "Come Let Us Wander Alone" by Peter Cornelius. ~ Next, Gluck's Orpheus is performed in French, English and Italian. Stegman prefers the Italian. ~ Orchestral interlude "La boda de Luis Alonso" by Jerónimo Jiménez.
