ARSC Journal for 1976 in X:2-3 (1979): 128-62; for 1977 in XI:2-3 (1979): 152-90; and for 1978-1979 in XIII:2 (1981): 29-75 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DISCOGRAPHIES Classica1 Music - 1980 to 1985 Compiled by Michael H. Gray and Gerald D. Gibson Editorial Assistance: Gary-Gabriel Gisondi This 1980 to 1985 cumulation of the Bibliography of Discog­ raphies contains entries for classical discographies only. It supplements the listings in our Bibliografhy of Discogra­ phies: Volume 1, Classical Music, 1925-1975 New York & Lon­ don: Bowker, 1977), as updated in the ARSC Journal for 1976 in X:2-3 (1979): 128-62; for 1977 in XI:2-3 (1979): 152-90; and for 1978-1979 in XIII:2 (1981): 29-75. A number of entries for the years 1975 thru 1979 have also been included here, though no systematic effort has been made to achieve completeness for this material. Further cumulations for jazz and popular music will appear in future issues of the Journal. As in the previous Bibliographies, a single A-to-Z alpha­ bet contains the subjects used to organize the material. The form of personal names and subjects is based on that used by the Library of Congress; where apropriate, cross-references linking variant subjects or name forms have been made. A seven-element annotative code is employed to identify ele­ ments in the discography we believe to be important to users. These elements appear in double parentheses " ( ( ) ) " included in or following the citation. The symbol "((--))" indicates that no significant elements appeared in the discography. Entries that have been reported from secondary sources are enclosed in double brackets " [ [ ] ] " and are therefore not coded. The elements and their symbols are: 1 Noncommercial recordings 2 [Not used in this series] 3 Matrix numbers 4 Index[es] 5 Release dates 6 Take numbers 7 Place and/or date of recording Additional entries or corrections of existing ones should be sent to Michael H.

Her incredible intellect, voracious curiosity, outstanding ability for drawing together disparate strands, and unceasing drive to learn more and know more have been an inspiring example over the past four years. This thesis owes much of its existence to her and her comments, recommendations, edits, and support. Thank you also to Ellen Wurtzel for guiding me through my first large-scale research paper in my third year at Oberlin, and for encouraging me to pursue honors. Shelley Lee has been an invaluable resource and advisor in the daunting process of putting together a fifty-some page research paper, while my fellow History honors candidates have been supportive, helpful in their advice, and great to commiserate with. Thank you to Steven Plank and everyone else who has listened to me discuss Britten and the Aldeburgh Festival and kindly offered suggestions.

  • 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.

    News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein Spring/Summer 2016 High-brow, Low-brow, All-brow Bernstein, Gershwin, Ellington, and the Richness of American Music © VICTOR © VICTOR KRAFT by Michael Barrett uch of my professional life has been spent on convincing music lovers Mthat categorizing music as “classical” or “popular” is a fool’s errand. I’m not surprised that people s t i l l c l i n g t o t h e s e d i v i s i o n s . S o m e w h o love classical masterpieces may need to feel reassured by their sophistication, looking down on popular culture as dis- posable and inferior. Meanwhile, pop music fans can dismiss classical music lovers as elitist snobs, out of touch with reality and hopelessly “square.” Fortunately, music isn’t so black and white, and such classifications, especially of new music, are becoming ever more anachronistic. With the benefit of time, much of our country’s greatest music, once thought to be merely “popular,” is now taking its rightful place in the category of “American Classics.” I was educated in an environment that was dismissive of much of our great American music. Wanting to be regarded as a “serious” musician, I found myself going along with the thinking of the times, propagated by our most rigid conservatory student in the 1970’s, I grew work that studiously avoided melody or key academic composers and scholars of up convinced that Aaron Copland was a signature. the 1950’s -1970’s. These wise men (and “Pops” composer, useful for light story This was the environment in American yes, they were all men) had constructed ballets, but not much else.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommendation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth. She subsequently studied with de Reszke him- self and appeared with him at the Paris Opéra, making her debut as Gounod’s Juliette.

  • Strauss Elektra Solti SC
    Richard Strauss Elektra Elektra: Birgit Nilsson; Klytemnestra: Regina Resnik; Chrysothemis: Marie Collier; Oreste: Tom Krause; Aegistheus: Gerhard Stolze Vienna State Opera Chorus and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Georg Solti Recorded June, September and November 1966 at the Sofiensaal, Vienna Recording Engineers: Gordon Parry and James Brown Producers: John Culshaw and Christopher Raeburn Remastered at Air Studios London by Tony Hawkins and Ray Staff Speakers Corner 2LPs Decca SET 354/5 Performance: 5 Strauss's Elektra was premièred in 1909 and marks the highpoint of the composers operatic career. Never again would he compose such searingly dramatic, concise music, replete with startlingly vivid orchestration, and a wealth of highly chromatic (and often atonal) thematic material, centred around decidedly Wagnerian sounding leitmotifs. It is isn't easy to cast. The title role needs a true dramatic soprano who is happy above the stave, and that of Klytemnestra a big-voiced mezzo- soprano. Chrysothemis is written for a lyric soprano, and Oreste for an heroic baritone. Elektra's don't come any better than Birgit Nilsson. She was 48 when the recording was made, and even the most exposed leaps and murderously high tessitura don't bother her. As the greatest Wagnerian soprano since Frieda Leider, she can effortlessly ride the orchestra, while still using a wide dynamic range in quieter passages. There are occasions when her intonation falters in the Recognition Scene, but this is a classic, thrillingly savage performance. Regina Resnik scales the same dramatic heights as Nilsson in her confrontation with Elektra, and her laughter at the end of the scene is gloriously OTT.

  • L'importanza Dell'etica Nella Grande Interpretazione Musicale: Testimonianze E Incontri Con Celebri Pianisti
    L’importanza dell’etica nella grande interpretazione musicale: testimonianze e incontri con celebri pianisti Kazimierz Morski Pianista. Direttore d’orchestra. Catedratico di Scienze Musicali Università Slesiana di Katowice Università Autonoma di Madrid1 Università di Roma 2 “Tor Vergata”2 Sintesi. Il saggio è frutto di personali esperienze e di considerazioni sorte nell’accostarsi a grandi personaggi della musica, in questo caso pianistica, il cui impegno etico-estetico sta alla base della profonda grandezza di esecuzioni divenute ormai patrimonio storico. Modelli in tal senso sono stati Neuhaus, Benedetti Michelangeli o Arrau per chi, come me, ha potuto incontrarli o sentirli in concerto e si trova oggi a porli nella prospettiva storica assieme ad altri artisti del mondo compositivo ed interpretativo. Nonostante le differenze e le soggettive concezioni di approccio alla musica, dal concertismo puro, all’impegno didattico, alla riflessione teorica, quanto appare nelle loro realizzazioni è un atteggiamento umano e culturale spesso celato da un nobile riserbo, segno irripetibile dell’arte nella sua essenza. Di qui l’affermazione della necessaria componente etica nell’ambito estetico delle grandi interpretazioni, sia in relazione all’originaria idea creativa che al suo mutare a seconda del gusto e delle epoche. Le testimonianze addotte conducono a profonde considerazioni sul rapporto tra l’elemento ontologico relativo soprattutto alla creatività e quello fenomenologico soggetto alle continue variazioni del modo di sentire. Parole chiave. idea creativa - interpretazione ideale - esecuzione - concertismo - pianisti - personalità artistica - virtuosismo - espressione- tradizione - didattica - etica - estetica - esperienze – testimonianze. Abstract. This essay is the result of personal experiences and considerations while addressing the fate of great musicians – in this case of piano players - whose ethic-aesthetic commitment is behind the greatness of certain interpretations that have become part our cultural heritage.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.
