  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

    Joint Conference Association of Business Historians (ABH) and Gesellschaft für Unternehmensgeschichte (GUG), 27-28 May 2016, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany Disruptive Innovation in the Creative Industries: The adoption of the German horn in Britain 1935-75 David Smith* and Richard Blundel** *Nottingham Trent University, UK and **The Open University, UK Abstract This paper examines the interplay between innovation and entrepreneurial processes amongst competing firms in the creative industries. It does so through a case study of the introduction and diffusion into Britain of a brass musical instrument, the wide bore German horn, over a period of some 40 years in the middle of the twentieth century. The narrative contrasts the strategies followed by two brass instrument manufacturers, one a new entrant the other an incumbent. It shows how the new entrant despite a slow start, small scale and a commitment to traditional artisanal skills, was able to develop the technology of the German horn and establish itself as one of the world’s leading brands of horn, while the incumbent firm despite being the first to innovate steadily lost ground until like many of the other leading horn makers of the 1930s, it eventually exited the industry. Keywords: Disruptive innovation, Creative Industries, Musical Instruments Introduction For much of the 19th and a substantial part of the 20th century, British orchestras had a distinctive sound. This differentiated them from their counterparts in many parts of Europe and the United States. This sound was the product of the instruments they played, most notably in the horn section of the orchestra. In Britain horn players typically utilized instruments modelled on the Raoux horn from France.

  • Cantants, Intèrprets, Directors... Títol: Birgit Nilsson I Bayreut
    WAGNERIANA CATALANA Nº 24 ANY 2006 TEMA 6: CANTANTS, INTÈRPRETS, DIRECTORS... TÍTOL: BIRGIT NILSSON I BAYREUT. MEMÒRIES DE BIRGIT NILSSON. Segona part AUTOR: Birgit Nilsson La primera part d’aquest capítol “Med ett ord, Bayreuth!” (En un sol mot, Bayreuth) del llibre “La Nilsson” de Birgit Nilsson (ISBN9170548765) editat en suec per Fischer & Co Estocolm, 1995 va ésser publicat en el número anterior, el mes de Novembre de 2005. Birgit Nilsson encara vivia. Ens va deixar el desembre de l’any passat. Serveixi aquesta traducció, extreta del text alemany editat per Krüger amb el títol “Mein Leben für die Oper”. com a petit homenatge a la memòria de la gran soprano que va interpretar tant bé les heroïnes wagnerianes. El setembre de 1956 em trobava a Buenos Aires, cantant la Mariscala del “Cavaller de la Rosa” de Strauss i la Donna Anna del “Don Giovanni” de Mozart. El primer dia de la Primavera argentina, el 21 de setembre, vaig rebre un telegrama de Wolfgang Wagner preguntant-me si l’any següent, 1957, voldria cantar la Isolda. I tant que ho volia!. Isolda a Bayreuth!. Quina felicitat! Immediatament, però, vaig recordar que encara em calia mostrar-me ofesa; així doncs vaig telegrafiar dient que no hi estava interessada. Va seguir un altre telegrama, molt afalagador, amb informació referent a directors i cantants Vaig començar a dubtar de la meva decisió. Vaig consultar en Bertil com creia ell que em calia comportar-me. Ell opinà que no havia d’oblidar que en aquell moment (els més famosos teatres d’Òpera internacionals m’havien començat a fer l’aleta amb temptadors contractes) Bayreuth estava més interessat a guanyar-me com Isolda, que jo a retornar a Bayreuth.

  • BWTB Revolver @ 50 2016
    1 PLAYLIST AUG. 7th 2016 Part 1 of our Revolver @ 50 Special~ We will dedicate to early versions of songs…plus the single that preceded the release of REVOLVER…Lets start with the first song recorded for the album it was called Mark 1 in April of 1966…good morning hipsters 2 9AM The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows – Revolver TK1 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first song recorded for what would become the “Revolver” album. John’s composition was unlike anything The Beatles or anyone else had ever recorded. Lennon’s vocal is buried under a wall of sound -- an assemblage of repeating tape loops and sound effects – placed on top of a dense one chord song with basic melody driven by Ringo's thunderous drum pattern. The lyrics were largely taken from “The Psychedelic Experience,” a 1964 book written by Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, which contained an adaptation of the ancient “Tibetan Book of the Dead.” Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards. Paul got “arranging” credit. He had discovered that by removing the erase head on his Grundig reel-to-reel tape machine, he could saturate a recording with sound. A bit of….The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul 3 The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere / TK’s 7 & 13 - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul while sitting by the pool of John’s estate, this classic ballad was inspired by The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” Completed in 14 takes spread over three sessions on June 14, 16 and 17, 1966.

  • 07 – Spinning the Record
    VI. THE STEREO ERA In 1954, a timid and uncertain record industry took the plunge to begin investing heav- ily in stereophonic sound. They were not timid and uncertain because they didn’t know if their system would work – as we have seen, they had already been experimenting with and working the kinks out of stereo sound since 1932 – but because they still weren’t sure how to make a home entertainment system that could play a stereo record. Nevertheless, they all had their various equipment in place, and so that year they began tentatively to make recordings using the new medium. RCA started, gingerly, with “alternate” stereo tapes of monophonic recording sessions. Unfortunately, since they were still uncertain how the results would sound on home audio, they often didn’t mark and/or didn’t file the alternate stereo takes properly. As a result, the stereo versions of Charles Munch’s first stereo recordings – Berlioz’ “Roméo et Juliette” and “Symphonie Fanastique” – disappeared while others, such as Fritz Reiner’s first stereo re- cordings (Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 with Ar- thur Rubinstein) disappeared for 20 years. Oddly enough, their prize possession, Toscanini, was not recorded in stereo until his very last NBC Symphony performance, at which he suf- fered a mental lapse while conducting. None of the performances captured on that date were even worth preserving, let alone issuing, and so posterity lost an opportunity to hear his last half-season with NBC in the excellent sound his artistry deserved. Columbia was even less willing to pursue stereo.

For Hofmannsthal, the character of knew it could become an opera, yet he balked at the subject, Elektra (to use the German spelling) must have exercised a worried that it too closely resembled his last stage work, powerful appeal, for she embodied the fevers and perfumes of Salome .
