Topic: Tiefland


  
  Tiefland (1954)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The constant theme of the story is the contrast between the purity of the high mountain pastures (moisture and fresh air) and the corruption of the Tiefland (lowland) with its cruel aristocracy and downtrodden peasants - "the men are bad and the women are sick".
Tiefland and The Blue Light have many of the features of a western, and could easily be re-made as such (although they would lack the animal magnetism of LR).
Tiefland was mostly shot in 1940, though for various reasons it wasn't released until 1953.

 Leni Riefenstahl and TIEFLAND - "Wherever you may run..."
Tiefland became Riefenstahl's “inner emigration” from the hostility of the Nazi inner circle, the shock of the war, and her slow disillusionment with Hitler.
Tiefland was subsequently confiscated by the French government and returned, with footage missing, to Riefenstahl after her several years in detention camps and her final clearance by French courts.
I feel that Tiefland, in turn, should be seen to cross and defy the filmmaker's previous concepts and conventions, most importantly in the use of her established Romantic vocabulary to subvert and counter a paradigmatic authoritarian order.

"Tiefland" is a simple story about love, betrayal and death, in which a simple mountain shepherd, Don Pedro, comes down from the Pyrenees and is offered the hand of Marta.
The classic recording of "Tiefland," re-released on Eurodisc, starring Rudolf Schock, is out of print, but you can probably find a used copy at Academy Records.
"Tiefland" isn't hard to stage, but it is unfamiliar compared to "Tosca" and "Trovatore." Plus, you need the right tenor.

 Kritik
In the upper range the tone sometimes is slightly tight, but vocally she at no point owed a single note to the young - dramatic role.
In the role of Marta Maida Hundeling sang to the edge of exhaustion with her prevailing voice, as if she was going to sharpen the knife against her oppressor.
Her dramatic vocal hight is of dominant power.[...] Her confession to Tomaso is very affecting when for the first time her awakening emotions break through and melt in a wonderful soft piano together with the designed motive of the composer which truly gets under the skin.

Difficulties experienced on the other complete works by Leni Riefenstahl would pale in comparison to Tiefland, her last full length feature film released into circulation.
She had witnessed a wartime massacre and whatever side she fell on, refused to place herself into the frontline carnage.
Tiefland gave Riefenstahl and her select crew a refuge from the world war that was enveloping Europe.

 Tiefland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The German director Leni Riefenstahl has always been controversial because of her works in the National Socialist era, such as Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will), Fest der Völker (Festival of the Nations), a documentary on the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, and Fest der Schönheit (Festival of Beauty).
In 1953 Riefenstahl finished Tiefland (Lowland), a film she had begun in 1940 but that was confiscated by the French during the war.
The film is based on the opera by Eugen d’Albert, in which the Spanish landowner Don Sebastian loses his beloved to a shepherd and is stabbed in a duel.

 TIEFLAND by Leni Riefenstahl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The BBC reports that 33 original photographs taken during the shooting of Tiefland (Lowlands), the last feature film directed by Leni Riefenstahl (Triumph des Willens / Triumph of the Will), Adolf Hitler's favorite filmmaker, go on sale in Shropshire, England, this week.
The photos from Tiefland include those of gypsy children who had been allegedly forced to take part in the shoot and that later died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz.
Filmed in Spain, Tiefland was based on Eugen D'Albert's opera which itself was taken from Catalan playwright Ángel Guimerá's Terra Baixa, an indictment against social corruption and tyranny.

According to Riefenstahl, she had refused to make any more propaganda pictures--"for good reasons," she explained enigmatically--choosing instead to direct a period romance, based on an old Spanish play and opera by Eugen d'Albert.
In one scene, the director utilized a band of gypsies as atmosphere extras; as soon as their scenes were completed, the gypsies were returned to their Nazi concentration camp--where most of them were doomed to extermination.
Personally financed by Riefenstahl, Tiefland was filmed between 1942 and 1945.

 Leni Riefenstahl - Tiefland (Lowlands), 1954
Leni Riefenstahl's Tiefland, based on the opera by Eugen d'Albert, was her last full-length, dramatic feature film.
An exceptional analysis of Tiefland by Robert von Dassanowsky, which could be considered required reading for any serious student of Leni's films (in particular Tiefland, of course).
Also available online is the abstract for von Dassanowsky's article on the correspondences between James Cameron's Titanic and Leni's Tiefland, entitled A Mountain of a Ship: Locating the Bergfilm in James Cameron's Titanic, published in Cinema Journal (issue 40.4, Summer 2001) with the full article available by subscription.

Standing firmly, foursquare, on the theory that English is the artistic medium for opera in the U. the Chicago Opera Company presented earlier this season Charles Wakefield Cadman's Witch of Salem, a U. opera sung in English (TIME, Dec. 20).
Last week the Company went even further, presented a German opera specially translated into English for its U. premiere: Tiefland, the tale of a villainous rich landowner in the Pyrenees, who has an unwilling young mistress.
In the grand manner, she is rescued by a simple shepherd boy.

 Tiefland (The Lowlands)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Pedro resolves to take Marta away with him to the mountain pastures.
Eugen d'Albert found in Tiefland (The Lowlands) a subject to be depicted with dramatic realism.
Pedro's prayer for a wife, Zwei Vaterunser bet'ich (I prayed two Our Fathers) and his innocent present to Marta of a silver coin he had won for killing a wolf, Schau her, das ist ein Taler (See here is a taler) typify his simplicity, with his Wolfserzählung (Tale of the Wolf).

 TIEFLAND   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The world premier of the opera Tiefland (1903) by German pianist and composer of British descent Eugene d'Albert was not particularly successful when conducted by Leo Blech in the New German Theatre on October 15, 1903.
Only after the Berlin performance in 1907 did the oeuvre enjoy a long spell of great popularity, especially in Germany.
Eugene D'Albert created an impressive contrast between the mountain landscape and pastoral idyll, on one hand, and the depressed and hostile atmosphere of life in a small town in a valley, on the other hand.
