For Chopin the opera represents the highest form of art, even though he never thought about writing for the stage himself. His contemporaries Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini meant more to him than Beethoven, Liszt, or Schumann. Their decisive influence is reflected in the vocal parts of Chopin's piano compositions. Especially the stylistic influence is applied through the flow, trills, and cadences of the coloraturas. It was the architect Adolf Loos who said: "Ornament is crime." Yet, the ornament is also a place of improvisation, freedom, and exuberance. At the castle of Chopin's beloved George Sand in Nohant, France, two singers, a pianist, and an actress meet with the most knowledgeable contemporary experts on Chopin and bel canto. For a whole week in late autumn, they delve into Chopin's opera experiences: his admiration for the great bel canto singer Giuditta Pasta, his friendship with Vincenzo Bellini, and his relationship with Pauline Viardot, daughter of tenor Manuel Garcia and sister of the mezzo-soprano Maria Malibran, who, as pianist and composer, worked on Chopin's Mazurkas for voice and piano. These Mazurkas are, as well as his pure piano compositions, rehearsed and discussed in Nohant. Particularly by means of the mezzo-soprano Katerina Hebelkova's voice, they unfold their musical potential. By singing arias of Handel, Rossini, and Bellini, the great bel canto singer Vesselina Kasarova complements Chopin's influencing sources of inspiration. Likewise influenced by Chopin, Kasarova seeked a singing career after studying the piano. Virtuoso she depicts the influence his piano pieces had on her singing, thereby highlighting that this aspect is for her no less important than Chopin's influence on opera as a whole. 546 English, French and German dialogue; sung in German, French, Italian, and Polish; English subtitles. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 600 10 Chopin, Frédéric,|d1810-1849|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79127769|xThemes, motives.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008982 600 17 Chopin, Frédéric,|d1810-1849.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/45258 650 0 Vocal music.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85144088 650 0 Piano music.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85101782 650 0 Arrangement (Music)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85007416 650 7 Themes, motives.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1355139 650 7 Vocal music.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1168379 650 7 Piano music.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1063403 650 7 Arrangement (Music)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 815058 655 7 Vocal music.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726772 655 7 Piano music.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726475 655 7 Internet videos.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1750214 655 7 Internet videos.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2011026337 655 7 Video recordings.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2011026723 655 7 Video recordings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1692913 700 1 Schmidt-Garre, Jan,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no98077285|efilm director. 700 1 Eckle, Georg-Albrecht,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2008171700|ecommentator. 700 1 Guignard, Silvain,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n85297628|ecommentator. 700 1 Feuchtwanger, Peter,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /no2004119853|ecommentator,|einstrumentalist. 700 1 Pöntinen, Roland,|d1963-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n85289737|ecommentator,|einstrumentalist. 700 1 Eigeldinger, Jean-Jacques,|d1940-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81055618|ecommentator. 700 1 Hebelkova, Katerina,|d1978-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2010157802|ecommentator,|esinger. 700 1 Stegemann, Michael,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n81137124|ecommentator. 700 1 Splett, Jörg,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82092165|ecommentator. 700 1 Wesselman, Leni,|ecommentator. 700 1 Lard, Ursula,|ecommentator. 700 1 Libor, Christiane,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2003048839|esinger. 700 1 Kasarova, Vesselina,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /no95053478|esinger. 700 1 Adorján, Dávid,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2004068708|einstrumentalist. 710 2 Pars Media (Firm),|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2007020486|eproduction company. 710 2 RB Film (Firm),|eproduction company. 856 40 |3Medici.tv|uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// edu.medici.tv/movies/chopin-at-the-opera|zAccess restricted to current Rider University students, faculty, and staff. 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20181012|cLTI|tlti-aup183 948 |d20171012|cLTI|tlti-aup173 948 |d20170313|cRDT original load 948 |d20170922|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bOCL
