Friant, Charles


(b Paris, 1890; d Paris, 22 April 1947). French tenor. His father was a principal dancer at the Opéra and he himself sang in the chorus and appeared in the première of d’Indy’s L’étranger as a boy. He later trained with Sarah Bernhardt and joined her company as an actor, then going to the Conservatoire to study singing in 1910. His operatic début was in the Paris première of Massenet’s Cléopâtre. From 1920 to 1939 he was a member of the Opéra-Comique, appearing in a wide repertory but enjoying special success in Massenet operas such as Manon, Werther and Le jongleur de Notre Dame. Premières included Le roi Candaule by Bruneau and Le Hulla by Samuel-Rousseau. He also sang at Monte Carlo and La Monnaie, Brussels. His recordings, especially those from Werther, are distinctively stylish and expressive.

Fribec, Krešimir


(b Daruvar, Croatia, 24 May 1908; d Zagreb, 23 Dec 1996). Croatian composer. He studied music privately in Zagreb with Zlatko Grgošević and held the position of music editor of Radio-Televizije Zagreb from 1943 to 1964. Later he was appointed an associate of Zagreb Radio and director of the Croatian Music Society of Zagreb. Fribec was a prolific composer, particularly in the fields of opera and ballet. Most of his early music was based on folksong, but between 1955 and 1964 he used 12-note, serial and aleatory procedures. The ballet Vibracije (‘Vibrations’, 1955) was a crucial work in the change, with its evocation of the multiplicity of vibrations within and around the human body. Despite the high quality of many of his instrumental works of this period, notably Panta rhei, Asonance and the String Quartet no.1, Fribec went back to his more conventional and approachable expressionist idiom. His old fluency returned in a large number of works – operas, ballets, cantatas, orchestral and chamber works – which satisfied his desire to make his music appeal to as large a public as possible.
