This episode celebrates his 101st birthday by exploring his recorded legacy, with particular emphasis on his earliest recordings. Repertoire by Jaime Ovalle, C\u00e9sar Franck, Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert, Maurice Ravel, Henry Purcell, and&nbsp;Claude Debussy (including an excerpt from his 1955 radio performance of Golaud in&nbsp;<em>Pell\u00e9as et M\u00e9lisande<\/em>). We also hear performances by his teachers and mentors Claire Croiza, Vanni-Marcoux, Pierre Bernac, and Lotte Lehmann, as well as his sister,&nbsp;Genevi\u00e8ve Touraine. I make my best effort to argue the case of Souzay&#8217;s artistic importance, his continuing significance, and the unique qualities of his artistry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\"

Inghelbrecht (1880-1965) is an incredibly important conductor, especially <em>vis-\u00e0-vis<\/em> Debussy. He was the chorus master for the first performance of that theatrical hybrid <em>Le Martyre de Saint S\u00e9bastien <\/em> and fortunately left a series of recordings, both radio and studio, of many of Debussy&#8217;s most important works. These include at least three other recordings of <em>Pell\u00e9as <\/em>, two of which feature the superb Belgian soprano Suzanne Danco as M\u00e9lisande (and yes, rest assured that there there will be future podcast episodes on this estimable artist). This is the only of Inghelbrecht&#8217;s traversals in which Souzay&#8217;s Golaud is heard, however.  I remark on the podcast how the tension created in this scene, as well as others, is nearly unbearable. If you click on the link, you will be taken to a page on the <em>Institut national de l&#8217;audiovisuel&nbsp;<\/em>(INA)&#8217;s website where you can listen to the entire work as it was originally broadcast on 24 November 1955. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Inghelbrecht.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Inghelbrecht.jpg 650w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Inghelbrecht-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption> D\u00e9sir\u00e9-\u00c9mile Inghelbrecht, Paris, January1953.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I only wish that I had had more time to put a more thorough episode together.

My life in the next several months is insanely busy (especially for a sickly homebody like me!) but I hope to bring you more episodes in the future, perhaps even a series on this singer, who certainly changed my life (I didn&#8217;t even get into my first experiences hearing his voice!)
