  • 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 It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists.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.

  • De Muzikale Geschiedenis Van De Bayreuther Festspiele Afl. 20 Door Johan Maarsingh
    De muzikale geschiedenis van de Bayreuther Festspiele afl. 20 door Johan Maarsingh In deze aflevering van de muzikale geschiedenis van de Bayreuther Festspiele staan de jaren ‘60 centraal. De aandacht gaat uit naar opnamen die niet of nauwelijks bekend zijn, omdat ze niet (gemakkelijk) op cd te koop waren en nu op het internet zijn te beluisteren. Ze bieden alternatieve bezettingen ten opzichte van officieel uitgebrachte opnamen. Dat de geluidskwaliteit vaak niet van het hoogste niveau is, mag als bijzaak gelden. Lohengrin 1962 Tijdens de voorbereidingen van de Festspiele in 1962 werd deze opname gemaakt van de tweede akte Lohengrin. Hierin is Irene Dalis te horen als Ortrud en Ramón Vinay als Telramund. Wolfgang Sawallisch dirigent. Overigens is dit een afwijkende bezetting ten opzichte van de opname op de plaat: Ortrud wordt daar vertolkt door Astrid Varnay. Het is een fragment uit een uitzending van de BBC Radio. Het inleidend commentaar klinkt uit de mond van Deryck Cooke. https://youtu.be/trertAJqp_E Bayreuther Festspiele op televisie. In 1963 heeft de Duitse televisie vanuit Bayreuth de eerste scène uit het derde bedrijf van Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg uitgezonden. Het is van een latere voorstelling in dat jaar, want hierin zien we Josef Greindl als Sachs en Wolfgang Windgassen als Stolzing. De band is niet meer van goede kwaliteit. Via deze link is zo toch een indruk te verkrijgen van Wielands tweede enscenering van deze opera. Helaas moeten we het stellen zonder Festwiese. Deze werd niet opgenomen. Misschien was dat te moeilijk geweest met de toenmalige opname techniek. Tegenwoordig gaat dat anders en komt de eerste voorstelling van een nieuwe productie in de bioscoop.

  • Modernizing the Hero
    Situations Vol. 1(Fall 2007) © 2007 by Yonsei University Eunha Na1 Modernizing the Hero Review on the play Iago and Othello2 Once the most beloved and frequently staged of all western playwrights in Korea since the premiere of Hamlet (1951), Shakespeare seems to have become something too classic and literary (almost mandatory as cultural or academic experience) for today’s Korean audience. Such conviction is not without ground when we see the theater box- offices in Seoul being bombarded with popular musicals and more contemporary plays from the Broadway or the West End. After being catered with the breath-taking spectacles and boisterous entertainment, you’ll feel it as a torture to bear the full-length plays packed with words and quaint rhetorical expressions. It must be something to do with such realization that a series of experimental productions of Shakespearean plays sprang up with fresh interpretations in recent years. Koreanizing, so called by some directors and critics, is going on with staging comedies while other directors have taken a separate course for tragedies (history plays, as well). 1 Seoul National University graduate student. 2 Adapted from Shakespeare’s Othello by the Theater Company Moollee, performed in LG Art Center, Seoul. 143 With the latter, the focus lingers on the heroes of each play; but younger generation directors—distinguishing themselves from their predecessors—are interested in how to bring onto the stage the inner struggles and conflicts of each character. Now expressionism, although belated, seems to have taken the place of realism in the theater, at least in some of the most memorable productions recently performed.

  • Othello: a Teacher's Guide
    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S OTHELLO By DEBRA (DEE) JAMES, University of North Carolina at Asheville SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of William Shakespeare’s Othello 2 INTRODUCTION Othello, like all of Shakespeare’s plays, particularly the tragedies, is complex and subtly nuanced. Through its complexities and subtleties, Shakespeare makes us care about the characters who people this story. We understand their weaknesses and their strengths, their passions and their nobility. In our engagement in their lives and our pondering over what has gone wrong and why, we are given the opportunity to analyze human life both in the abstract and in the particular of our own lives. Shakespeare’s ability to involve us in the lives and fortunes of his characters is one of the best reasons for reading, rereading, and teaching Othello. Othello has particular gifts to offer to teenagers. It is a play about passion and reason. Intense feelings are exhibited here: love, hate, jealousy, envy, even lust. Teenagers struggling with their own passions can empathize with both Roderigo’s and Othello’s plight. It is also a play that examines, as do Shakespeare’s other works, human relationships and interactions. For teenagers in the first rush of attempting to understand how romantic relationships work and when and why they might fail, this text provides much to ponder. In addition, studying the play gives young people a rich literary vehicle for developing their critical thinking and analytical reading skills.

    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, March 2018, Vol. 8, No. 3, 417-421 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.03.010 D DAVID PUBLISHING An Analysis of Power Desire of Iago in Shakespeare’s Othello From Psychological Perspectives HIND ABDUALLAH ALKOLI, Shi Ji Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China This study aims to investigate how powerful desires controlling and influence the play’s characters. In particularly Iago’s Power is probably the most important motive. Iago employed to manipulate Othello. It is clearly seen that Iago thrived in power because he loves manipulating people so that they do what he says. Othello indicates the power of desires, love and jealousy. The purpose of this study is to obtain a deeper understanding and analyze the character’s power and how Shakespeare used Iago’s power desires? To cause the tragic downfall Othello by using the psychological approaches. Shakespeare’s tragedies’ characters motivated by the power desires. Shakespeare shows that the human need, feelings, emotions and passions or desires may lead their owners to be mad if they surrender to them to go beyond the limits. This paper looks how Shakespeare shows the humanism by describing Iago’s desires in his play, Othello the most notable tragedies. Keywords: Shakespeare’s Othello, desires of power, psychology approaches Introduction William Shakespeare’s Othello is a play loaded with controversy, deceit, and manipulation, and most of the action that we generated by the play’s main manipulator, Iago. Critically, Iago’s character interpreted, among many things, as a representation of the devil, motiveless and a cunning manipulator.
