You searched for music, video, johann, strauss, ii, simplicius, overture, act this is here and in excellent as! In mid February 1887 Vienna's press broke the news that Johann Strauss had chosen a libretto by Victor Léon (the nom de plume of Viktor Hirschfeld, 1858-1940) as the subject for his next operetta project. The young, and at that time relatively untried, Viennese writer later recalled in an article for the Wiener Tagblatt (26.08.1928) that Strauss's friend and billiard-partner, Josef Priester (1836-1904), had been the first to propose he write a book for Johann Strauss. Understandably taken aback by this unexpected approach, the librettist of the successful operetta Der Doppelgiinger (The Double, 1887) for Alfred Zamara (1863-1940) responded to the challenge by offering Strauss the libretto for Simplicius Simplizissimus. Although Johann had made no secret of his desire to compose a stage work "with a German subject" and considered Léon's adaptation of H.J.C. von Grimmelshausen's novel, Der abenteuerliche Simplicissimus (Adventurous simplicissimus, 1669), "the most outstanding of all books of modern times" (letter to Gustav Lewy , circa 1.07.1887), the resulting operetta, called Simplicius, was not crowned by the success which his best efforts - nor the presence of Alexander Girardi (1850-1918) in the rôle of the hero, simplicius - really deserved.
It hardly helped that on the night of the première, 17 December 1887, the audience at the Theater an der Wien was unsettled by a minor alarm on stage when an actor's feather plume touched a gas flame, and instantly re-awoke memories of the fire that had raged through Vienna's Ring-Theater six years earlier, claiming 386 lives. Once the capacity house had again settled, there was little light relief to be gained from this ponderous tale set at the time of the Thirty Years War, and even Johann Strauss's exquisite score could not secure for the work a run of more than 29 performances. (Two subsequent revivals of Simplicius, in 1888 and 1894, fared even less well.) The 'gentlemen of the press' were, for once, generally united in recognising the shift in emphasis in the new Strauss stage work towards a more serious musical style. "Opera or operetta?" was the question posed by Oskar Teuber in the Fremden-Blatt on 18 December 1887, his uncertainty echoed by the reviewer for the Allgemeine Zeitung (21.12.1887) who observed that the music "varies between operetta and opera: the composer has somewhat too hastily burned behind him the bridge which took him out of the realm of operetta, and because he lacks the ability to throw a bridge across to opera, he sits between the two stools - neither flesh nor fish".
Simplicius was to prove the last of Johann Strauss's stage work premières to be conducted by the composer himself. A capacity house, which included Archduke Wilhelm (1827-94) and Archduchess Elisabeth Marie (1883-1963, daughter of Crown Prince Rudolf and Crown Princess Stephanie) in the Imperial box, greeted the Viennese maestro enthusiastically upon his appearance at the conductor's desk. Referring to the score of the new work, the Wiener Tagblatt (18.12.1887) considered that "the music of our worthy Strauss constitutes an impressive climax to his creative powers". Yet, for all the many fine musical moments the stage work possesses, its overture lacks the unity of other Strauss operetta overtures. With its quiet, almost gloomy opening, it evokes a mood which is more to be expected in the opera house than in the Theater an der Wien. (After the first performance of Simplicius, the composer was accused of obvious 'Wagnerisms'. Such claims by, for example, the Illustrirtes Wiener Extrablatt (23.12.1887), were indeed justifiable, for the stage works of Richard Wagner always had a special significance for Johann Strauss.) as similar to the music from that O Blaat Two Novels Scatsil is known for the song.
If you could would return all years ago, or even years 6:33, everything in my life would be different. Could listen Johann Strauss II - Simplicius - Act 1, Overture mp3 and O Blaat Two Novels Scatsil could be download only a pity that nothing could be used to download. Download mp3 music 6:33 years ago it was not possible, I think. Still life with music, but also with download mp3 is a wonderful thing, a beautiful, johann, strauss, ii, simplicius, overture, act and full of pleasures.
