Michael Gielen Edition
MICHAEL GIELEN EDITION MICHAEL GIELEN EDITION 50 years of recordings in 10 volumes NEW in May 2018 SWR19022CD SWR19007CD SWR19014CD SWR19061CD SWR19028CD SWR19023CD SWR19042CD KEY FEATURES • 10 boxed sets to be released between 2016 and 2019 • Each volume largely comprises recordings never previously released, remastered EMI and Intercord recordings, and previously issued SWR recordings • Michael Gielen is one of the most prominent conductors of the 20th and 21st centuries • He celebrates his 90th birthday in July 2017 On 30 October 2014, Michael Gielen issued a press release announcing that he had been forced to end his conducting activities for health reasons. On this occasion, and also with his 90th birthday on 20 July 2017 in mind, it is time to listen to the different phases of a long conducting career. The Michael Gielen EDITION offers this opportunity. It comprises several volumes of varying size, dedicated to individual composers – Beethoven, Bruckner, Brahms, Mahler, Bartók, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern – and others focusing on major historical periods: from Bach to Schubert; from Carl Maria von Weber to Sergei Rachmaninov; late Romantic or early modern works, while another volume is devoted to compositions written after the Second World War. The recordings presented here are from the archives of the former South German Radio, Stuttgart (SDR) and Southwestern Radio, Baden-Baden (SWF), as well as their successor organizations SWR, and Saarland radio (SR) – that is, recordings from a period of over 50 years: from the mid-1960s to Gielen’s last concert with the SWR Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg in January 2014. -
The Orchestra in History
Jeremy Montagu The Orchestra in History The Orchestra in History A Lecture Series given in the late 1980s Jeremy Montagu © Jeremy Montagu 2017 Contents 1 The beginnings 1 2 The High Baroque 17 3 The Brandenburg Concertos 35 4 The Great Change 49 5 The Classical Period — Mozart & Haydn 69 6 Beethoven and Schubert 87 7 Berlioz and Wagner 105 8 Modern Times — The Age Of The Dinosaurs 125 Bibliography 147 v 1 The beginnings It is difficult to say when the history of the orchestra begins, be- cause of the question: where does the orchestra start? And even, what is an orchestra? Does the Morley Consort Lessons count as an orchestra? What about Gabrieli with a couple of brass choirs, or even four brass choirs, belting it out at each other across the nave of San Marco? Or the vast resources of the Striggio etc Royal Wedding and the Florentine Intermedii, which seem to have included the original four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, or at least a group of musicians popping out of the pastry. I’m not sure that any of these count as orchestras. The Morley Consort Lessons are a chamber group playing at home; Gabrieli’s lot wasn’t really an orchestra; The Royal Wed- dings and so forth were a lot of small groups, of the usual renais- sance sorts, playing in turn. Where I am inclined to start is with the first major opera, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. Even that tends to be the usual renaissance groups taking turn about, but they are all there in a coherent dra- matic structure, and they certainly add up to an orchestra. -
