Join us in a journey inside the human mind with Hungarian music. Our next session is to psychoanalyze Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle. Our special guests will be:
1. DR. NINA SCHORR M.D., PSYCHOANALYST IN PRIVATE PRACTICE AND ON THE FACULTY OF SPSI AND UW
2. LARRY UHLMAN, EDUCATOR
We will start at 9AM with refreshments and visiting and begin the presentations at 9:30AM, followed by plenty of time for discussion. To attend, please RSVP to Lynn Buell at
nlynnb@msn.com or 206 860 2962. The location of the program will be made available to the ones who RSVP. Usually, the location is a nice private home around downtown Seattle.
The following information provided by Larry Uhlman may help you in enjoying the session to its fullest extent:
Maria Tatar's Secret's beyond the Door which is extremely helpful with a whole host of background information to the story of Bluebeard. In terms of Erwartung, which I will also be talking about because of its relevancy to Bartok's piece, there is an excellent chapter in Allen Shawn's Arnold Schoenberg's Journey. I got both books very easily through Amazon. Those who are planning to attend might also want to revisit "The Case of Anna O." in Breuer and Freud's Studies on Hysteria (1895). I am also likely to refer a bit to Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle. It is not particularly easy for me to scan anything, so hopefully these recommendations will suffice.
Listening to the operas ahead of time is also very beneficial. Here are the recordings I am using that should be readily available (again Amazon):
Bluebeard's Castle - Decca's 1999 remastered version of original 1996 recording featuring the husband/wife duo of Walter Berry and Christa Ludwig and conducted by Istvan Kertesz.
Erwartung - on EMI Classics 2 CD set entitled Schoenberg: Orchestral Works which has several other pieces by the composer worth hearing including the stunning chamber work Verklarte Nacht. An added benefit of this recording is its discount price. However, the Philips 2005 recording conducted by James Levine and featuring Jessye Norman is the standard recommendation.
