Made under studio conditions in the church of a medieval Catalonian fortress, these recordings BEETHOVEN enjoy plenty of string bass colour and timpani impact without Symphonies Nos 1-5 swamping the liveliest inner-part debates between solo winds (Savall) or divided-violin combat. Symphony No. 1 ‘Enjoy’ is the word for the set as a whole. The tempos are largely Beethoven’s own, at least according to the metronome Symphony No. 2 marks he retrospectively applied in 1809 to all the symphonies Symphony No. 3, he had composed up to that point, but almost no 'Eroica' interpretative decision feels insisted upon, no expressive horizon foreshortened by a ready-made frame.

  • Early Music Review EDITIONS of MUSIC Here Are Thirteen Works in the Present Volume
    Early Music Review EDITIONS OF MUSIC here are thirteen works in the present volume. The first two are masses by John Bedingham, while the others are anonymous mass movements (either New from Stainer & Bell T single or somehow related). Previous titles in the series have been reviewed by Clifford Bartlett, and I confess this English Thirteenth-century Polyphony is the first time I have looked at repertory from this period A Facsimile Edition by William J. Summers & Peter M. since I studied Du Fay at university! At that time I also Lefferts sang quite a lot of (slightly later) English music, so I am not Stainer & Bell, 2016. Early English Church Music, 57 completely unfamiliar with it.

Most of the pieces are in two or three T- apologies for the old school measurements!) is a parts (a fourth part – called “Tenor bassus” – is added to marvel to behold.

  • 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.

WILLIAM CHRISTIE SI L'ON EXCEPTE MÉDÉE, «TRAGÉDIE EN MUSIQUE», REPRÉ- sentée en 1693, six ans après la mort de Lully, Marc-Antoine Charpentier a été tenu à l'écart de la principale scène parisienne. Les Arts florissants, que Charpentier désigne tantôt comme un «opéra», tantôt comme une «idyle en musique», furent écrits pour la musique de Marie de Lorraine, duchesse de Guise. Nous savons que le compositeur a tenu, dans les Arts florissants, le rôle de la Peinture, écrit pour une voix de haute-contre. Charpentier avait pu se familiariser avec le monde du théâtre, ses thèmes et ses conventions, bien avant les années passées au service de la duchesse de Guise.
