| Notes |
From the accompanying papers: "My grandfather Jacob wrote this comic opera. It won an international contest. It was last performed at Carnegie Hall in 1949. No recordings exist. It's 2012. It's time to bring the highlights of this beautiful work back to life". From the accompanying papers: "About the opera: 'The Pioneers' was written in 1924 in Jerusalem. It is believed to be the first opera in Hebrew, on Jewish themes. It has been translated into English and Yiddish as well. It won first prize in an international composition contest and the prize money enabled Jacob to emigrate from Palestine to the US and settle in NYC. It was performed in a concert version in Jerusalem, Berlin, in NYC at the City Center (when it was still called the Mecca Temple), and twice at the Carnegie Hall (in 1946 and in 1949). The latter performance had a full orchestra and chorus. In Berlin, it was performed in the '30s in a synagogue because the Nazis would not allow the work of a Jewish person to be performed in a concert hall. It won rave reviews. The Soprano role was sung by Mascha Benya, a celebrated singer. There has never been a full production". For Jacob Weinberg's full archive in the Music Department, see: MUS 251. This performance was recorded in a live concert. |
