Olimpia Boronat 'The Nightingale' (Alabiev)In Russian 78 rpm By then it was no longer singers who contributed to the charting out of new paths, as they had when Bellini secured Giuditta Pastas advice when composing Norma. It was as much as they could do to find their own way; composers were too preoccupied with the orchestra to be concerned with the voices limitations. Boronat expressed distaste for what was then modern music. Although admitting that the works of Wagner, Debussy and Mascagni were interesting, yet she insisted, they were not music—at least, not by her standards. In western Europe new roles were still being added to the repertory, and she found it easier in Russia to keep aloof from such experiments. On her records there are few traces of those less attractive features Italian lyric coloraturas took to increasingly in the age of verismo—the tone driven against the hard palate, the open, edgy quality in the upper range. She still sang the established classics, and they set the best example.After another generation had passed in this century we note on their records how Italian lyric coloraturas, like Toti dal Monte, Adelaide Saraceni and Nunù Sanchioni, were obliged to hold on tightly—literally. They came to produce a disagreeable steam-whistle scream, under threat from the big guns, the lyric dramatic sopranos, the Mazzolenis, the Poli-Randaccios, the Cignas and the Caniglias. Only finally in the days of Renata Scotto did their characteristically imprecise execution come to be abandoned. By the second half of this century verismo was long dead, Callas had reintroduced bel canto, reeducating the publics ears, singers had to sing the music accurately, and were obliged to refine their techniques. There was no place any longer for the squillante tone.On Boronats records we can still hear many of the pre-verismo felicities. In La Traviata Sempre libera, which she transposes down from A-flat into G, she observes a number of typical ritards in free style, though she employs them chastely and does not overdo them. She separates the top Bs then, before a diletti sempre nuovi, carries the run down and links the phrases—in her day singers were expected to introduce effects that graced the music. Violetta was a favourite Boronat role, she sang it in 1910 on a visit to the San Carlo, Naples.In Aminas Come per me sereno, from Bellinis La Sonnambula, she shows considerable technical refinement as well as, something too, we may believe, of the musics original style—almost a sense of improvisation, the line exquisitely graced, a trill accurately and neatly turned. We note too those lengthy morendos and high pianissimi, and a partiality for the messa di voce that recalls Fernando de Lucia; like him too—though she is less provincial and less self-indulgent, she makes out of them something beautiful in themselves. In another Bellini piece, Elviras Mad Scene from I Puritani, there is the same stylish delivery, the words uttered clearly and affectingly and set in lovely tone.What perhaps most distinguishes her singing is its charm. Nowhere more so than in Norinas aria, Son anchio from Don Pasquale, a piece many pretty young soubrettes make a feint at, but few have a just appreciation of the right style. Her interpretation is an education, both technically and musically—the voice rhythmically responsive, the repeated grace notes executed limpidly, so the accent is on the note, and not, as we too often hear, on the grace; the interpolated turns in the phrase ma in riso lo sdegno fu presto in cangiar, each note justly proportionate; and the neat accurately turned cadenza, before Dun breve sorrisetto where the score demands one. Her Norina is no shrill shrew; she shows just how affecting this music can sound.In her day music had not yet separated into pop and classics; like many opera singers busy long before the microphone, there is nothing self-consciously arty about any of her interpretations. She sings everything, whether Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Tosti or Alabiev, with the same scrupulous commitment. The point Hanslick makes about Patti might as well have been written of her. She was capable of offering an utterly individual pleasure almost independent of the composition at hand. We hear this in her recordings of Tostis Senza lamore and Zardos Desiderio. Not great music, perhaps, echoes of the Salotto Umbertino, but her singing has an evocative fragrance redolent of times now long ago vanished.© Michael Scott, 1997 http://www.marstonrecords.com/boronat/boronat_liner.htm

Cancion amorosa, unknown poetTu nao te lembrasDa casinha pequeninaOnde o nosso amor nasceu, Ai!Tinha um coqueiro do ladoQue coitado de saudade ja morreu.Tu nao te lembras das juras ,O, perjura,Que fizestes com fervor, Ai!Daquele beijo demorado,Prolongado,Que sellou o nosso amor.The little tiny house is a love song of a broken hearted person. It tells of the place of a great love, fervent oaths and kisses, broken promises and betrayal, Yes, I know , rien que ca!Brazilian composer Francisco Ernani Braga (1868-1945) received a solid musical academic education. Student of J. Massenet he lived in France and later in Germany where he was influenced by R. Wagner. He composed several symphonic works and the opera Jupira, staged in early 1900s in Brazil .Worked as conductor and professor in Brazil. His music elaborates more finely than Villa Lobos, his pupil, the ethnic elements of Brazil, when they are used.Bidu Sayao often interpreted Bragas songs making them known throughout the world. It was she, who gave the score to Teresa Berganza who continued the tradition.The Casinha is a simple piece of music, perhaps the most popular by Braga and I illustrated it with photos I have taken in Brazil and Greece.Teresa Berganza, mezzo sopranoJuan Antonio Alvarez Parejo, piano1984
