Three Valued Collaborators Three Valued Collaborators 1993 marked the passing of three people who influenced Kurt Weill's life and work: conductor and friend Maurice Abravanel, publisher Hans Heinsheimer, and choreog­ ~her Agnes de MIiie. The following letters from the collections of the Weill-Lenya Re-rch Center present a commemoration of each one's contribution to Welll'a '8f89r and hint at the decisive influence of each. the Wetll-Lenya Research Center also has oral history interviews with each collaborator. A profile of Abravanel and a reprint of his comments made at a conference of music critics in March 1980 ~peared in the Spring 1987 (Vol. 5, no. 1) issue of this newsletter.

  • A Collection of Stan Ruttenberg's Reviews of Mahler Recordings From
    A collection of Stan Ruttenberg’s Reviews of Mahler Recordings from the Archives Of the Colorado MahlerFest (Symphonies 3 through 7 and Kindertotenlieder) Colorado MahlerFest XIII Recordings of the Mahler Third Symphony Of the fifty recordings listed in Peter Fülöp’s monumental discography (up to 1955, and many more have been added since then), I review here fifteen at my disposal, leaving out two by Boulez and one by Scherchen as not as worthy as the others. All of these fifteen are recommendable, all with fine points, all with some or more weaknesses. I cannot rank them in any numerical order, but I can say that there are four which I would rather hear more than the others — my desert island choices. I am glad to have the others for their own particular merits. Getting ready for MFest XIII we discovered that the matter of score versions and parts is complex. I use the Dover score, no date but attributed to Universal Edition; my guess this is an early version. The Kalmus edition is copied from who knows which published version. Then there is the “Critical Edition,” prepared by the Mahler Gesellschaft, Vienna. I can find two major discrepancies between the Dover/Universal and the Critical (I) the lack of horns at RN25-5, doubling the string riff and (ii) only two harp glissandi at the middle of RN28, whereas the Critical has three. Our first horn found another. Both the Dover and Critical have the horn doublings, written ff at RN 67, but only a few conductors observe them.
