Méhul par Wiertz

Étienne-Nicolas Méhul, Porträt von Antoine Joseph Wiertz

Bei der 2. Sinfonie Étienne Nicolas Méhuls kommt im Andante [13:19 – 14:00 Min.] das Gefühl auf, bei Gustav Mahler gelandet zu sein. Vom Klangbild her erscheint es beinahe wie eine Kopie. Das Ding ist bloß: Die Sinfonie entstand über 50 Jahre vor Mahlers Geburt im Jahre 1809. Neben den vielen Anleihen, die Beethoven bei ihm nahm (und nicht umgekehrt!), finden sich in jeder Sinfonie von Méhul bedeutende musikalische Vorwegnahmen und Weiterentwicklungen. Das macht es so schwer begreiflich, wie ein derart begnadeter Komponist so extrem in der Versenkung verschwinden konnte und wieso Méhul nie und nirgends in einem Atemzug mit den Größen der Frühromantik genannt wird.

  Constance-Caroline Lefebvre, sometimes spelled Lefèvre, (born 21 December 1828 in Paris, France; died 1905) was a French opera singer described as a mezzo-soprano and as a soprano. She started her career in 1849 and performed until her retirement in 1866, mostly playing "dugazon" roles. She married her stage partner, famous baritone and composer Jean-Baptiste Faure, in 1859.Lefebvre's early education took place in the Conservatoire de Paris under the guidance of David Banderali for her voice training and Théodore-François Moreau-Sainti for her opéra comique training, both in which she would win first prizes.  Lefebvre debuted at the Opéra-Comique on 12 October 1849 as Carlo Broschi in La part du diable by Daniel Auber.[1] Her following roles were often labeled as mezzo-soprano "dugazon" roles, including Le Toréador et Le Postillon de Lonjumeau by Adolphe Adam (Madeleine); Joconde and Jeannot et Colin by Nicolas Isouard (Jeannette); Joseph en Égypte by Étienne Méhul (Benjamin); Le Pré-aux-clercs by Ferdinand Hérold (Isabelle); Le Petit Chaperon rouge by François-Adrien Boieldieu (Rose d'amour); L'Épreuve villageoise (Denise) by André Grétry; Fra Diavolo (Zerline), La Sirène and Haydée by Daniel Auber; and especially Fromental Halévy's operas, Les Mousquetaires de la reine (Berthe de Simiane), La Dame de pique, Le Val d'Andorre, and La Fée aux roses.Throughout the 1850s, Lefebvre's career was marked by the creation of many roles. In 1850, she created Palomita in La Chanteuse voilée by Victor Massé and another role in Les Porcherons by Albert Grisar; in 1852, she created La Croix de Marie by Louis-Aimé Maillard and Madelon by François Bazin, followed by the titular role in Colette by Justin Cadaux in 1853. In 1854, she created Prascovia in L'Étoile du Nord by Giacomo Meyerbeer and then Massé's Miss Fauvette, Grisar's Le Chien du jardinier, and Rosette in Adam's Le Housard de Berchini in 1855. She created three roles in operas by Ambroise Thomas: Le Songe d'une nuit d'été in 1850, Stella in Raymond ou le Secret de la reine in 1851, and Psyché in 1857.
