Die vorliegende Masterarbeit interpretiert das Werk ‚A Survivor from Warsaw‘ von Arnold Schönberg auf der Grundlage der von dem Historiker Konrad H. Jarausch beschriebenen Holocaust-Erinnerungskategorien „Survival Stories“, „Figures of Remembrance“ und „Public Memory Culture“. Eine Analyse des Librettos zeigt, dass dieses Werk einzelne „Survival Stories“ künstlerisch zu einer „Figure of Remembrance“ transformiert und beleuchtet die musikalische und kulturelle Aussage dieser trilingualen Textvertonung im Hinblick auf den Ausdruck von kultureller Identität. In meiner Betrachtung des Beitrages dieses Werkes zu einer „Public Memory Culture“ steht vor allem die Kulturpolitik der Siegermächte in beiden Teilen Deutschlands im Mittelpunkt, welche Aufführungen dieses Werkes im Rahmen von Umerziehungsmaßnahmen initiierten und somit ihre eigenen ideologischen Konzepte im öffentlichen Bewusstsein zu stärken versuchten. Dabei werden bislang unberücksichtigte Quellen herangezogen. Eine Betrachtung der Rezeption von ‚A Survivor from Warsaw’ im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert zeigt außerdem die Position dieses Werkes innerhalb eines kontinuierlichen Erinnerungsprozesses, welcher bestrebt ist, reflektiertes Handeln zu fördern. iii This thesis interprets Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw, op.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

  • 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.
